We handle bathroom remodeling in Park Place 23517. Most calls come from 1920s to 1940s wood-frame homes off Colley Avenue and 21st Street. These places have small original baths with cast iron tubs that leak once the humidity builds up in summer. We pull out the old fixtures, fix the subfloor, and set new showers that hold up to the wet air.
Access is tight on the narrow lots near the Lafayette River. Trucks park on the street and we carry materials through side yards. Post-1950 additions often sit on slab and need extra waterproofing because the clay soil holds water after heavy rain. Tub to shower conversion cuts down on standing water and makes the space easier to clean year round.
We work the same neighborhoods every month so we know which streets back up during storms and which homes need extra venting. Call us for Park Place jobs and we show up with the right parts the first trip.

Bathroom Remodeling in Park Place — Local Notes
- •1920s-1940s wood-frame homes need full tub removal and subfloor checks because humidity rots joists under old tile.
- •Narrow lots off Colley Avenue mean we stage materials on the street and carry everything through side gates.
- •Clay soil near the river keeps crawlspaces damp so we add extra slope and seam tape on every shower pan.
- •Summer heat and humidity here make mold grow fast behind poorly vented baths so we always upgrade the fan.
