Many Kansas City homes still have original bathrooms from the 1920s-1960s with outdated layouts and failing fixtures. We modernize these spaces while respecting their historic character - from Brookside bungalow pedestal sinks to Waldo split-bathroom configurations.
Our updates focus on improving functionality without costly plumbing relocations. Common projects include replacing leaky shower valves in Overland Park colonials, installing water-efficient toilets in Olathe homes, and adding storage to compact Lee's Summit bathrooms. We use materials that complement original features like subway tile or hex flooring.
For homes in historic districts, we source period-appropriate fixtures from local salvage yards. All plumbing work includes proper waterproofing - especially important in our humid climate where mold can develop behind improperly sealed showers.
