We do bathroom remodeling in Ghent. ZIP 23507. I can get a crew there the same day or next because our shop sits close on the west side of Norfolk.
Most houses here date from 1900 to 1930. They are frame and brick with small baths and old cast iron drains. Hot humid summers push moisture through those walls so we add vents and fans every time we open a shower. Tight lots along Colley Avenue and Raleigh Crescent mean we stage tools on the street and keep debris off the sidewalks.
We swap tubs for showers in these homes by rerouting lines under the floor joists. The work stays local so we know which blocks have clay sewer laterals that crack when you dig near them.

Bathroom Remodeling in Ghent — Local Notes
- •Early 1900s frame homes on narrow lots need extra shoring when we cut into floors for new drains.
- •High summer humidity here rots subfloors fast so we always check for soft spots before setting new tile.
- •Many baths back up to shared walls so noise and dust control matters on streets like Mowbray Arch.
