“Our master bathroom in Brookhaven was stuck in the 90s — pink tile, tiny shower, the works. They did a full tub-to-shower conversion and a walk-in shower with beautiful tile. Crew was clean, polite, and finished in just under three weeks.”
Bathroom Renovation in Atlanta, GA
When a bathroom needs more than new fixtures — new plumbing, new wiring, a new layout, a fresh start — our bathroom renovation service in Atlanta, GA takes it down to the studs and rebuilds it right. We handle the full scope: demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in, structural changes, waterproofing, tile, and finishes, all permitted and inspected to Georgia code.
New plumbing, new wiring, new everything — permitted & inspected
When Your Bathroom Needs a True Fresh Start
It is the most complete transformation in our bathroom remodeling lineup. Call (404) 232-3742 for a free renovation consultation.
There is a point where patching stops making sense. The 1960s hall bath in a Brookhaven ranch with cast-iron drains that gurgle, galvanized supplies that deliver rusty trickles, and a floor that flexes ominously. The Decatur bungalow bath where every fixture is original to 1948 and the wiring predates grounded outlets. The basement bath in a Smyrna split-level that was finished without permits and smells like it. These bathrooms do not need a remodel — they need a renovation.
A full bathroom renovation means we strip the room to the framing and sometimes the subfloor, then rebuild every system: new supply lines and drains, new electrical circuits with GFCI protection, new exhaust vented outdoors, new insulation where walls are open, and new waterproofing throughout the wet areas. Only then do the beautiful parts go in — tile, shower or tub, vanity, fixtures, and finishes. It is the most thorough, most disruptive, and most rewarding bathroom project we do.
Why go this far? Because hidden systems determine whether a bathroom lasts five years or thirty. Atlanta's older housing stock hides polybutylene pipes (prone to sudden failure), aluminum or ungrounded wiring, and decades of slow leaks inside walls. A renovation exposes all of it and replaces it to current Georgia code — which also means the work is permitted, inspected, and documented, a real asset at resale.
Renovations also unlock layout freedom. Walls can move (with proper structural review), plumbing can relocate, a cramped 5x8 can borrow space from an adjacent closet, and a dark interior bath can gain light through a solar tube. We design the new layout around your life rather than the builder's 1972 floor plan — then engineer it to stand for decades.
A full renovation takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope, and it demands a contractor with real project management — permits, inspections, and trades sequenced correctly. That is our home turf. Call (404) 232-3742 for a free assessment of what your bathroom truly needs.
- Stripped to the studs
Every hidden problem exposed and fixed — plumbing, wiring, framing, and subfloor renewed. - Permitted and inspected
Full permits with the City of Atlanta or your county; inspections passed before walls close. - Layout freedom
Walls moved, plumbing relocated, space borrowed — designed around your life, not the old floor plan. - Documented for resale
Permitted, code-compliant work with warranties — the kind of renovation appraisers and buyers trust.
Why a Full Bathroom Renovation Is Worth It
The deep benefits only a down-to-the-studs project delivers.
- Eliminates hidden plumbing time bombs
Polybutylene, corroded galvanized, and failing cast iron get replaced with modern PEX and PVC — no more surprise floods. - Brings wiring up to code
Dedicated GFCI circuits, proper grounding, and safe lighting replace the ungrounded, overloaded wiring in many older Atlanta baths. - Fixes structural and moisture damage
Rotted subfloors, sagging joists, and mold inside walls are repaired properly — not tiled over and hidden. - Total layout freedom
Move the toilet, enlarge the shower, add a water closet, borrow closet space — the floor plan you want, engineered safely. - Maximum resale confidence
Permitted, inspected renovations with new systems are what appraisers credit and what savvy Atlanta buyers pay premiums for. - 30-year bathroom, not a 5-year facelift
New everything, installed to code with quality materials, means decades before you think about this room again.
Our Full Bathroom Renovation Process
The most complex bathroom project we do — managed with military precision.
Forensic Assessment
We inspect plumbing, electrical, structure, and moisture, then discuss whether renovation (vs. remodel) is truly warranted — honest guidance, free.
Engineered Design
Layout drawings, structural review where walls move, full material selections, and an itemized written quote with allowances for hidden conditions.
Paperwork First
Building, plumbing, and electrical permits pulled; inspections scheduled; your home protected with full dust containment.
Strip & Rebuild
Demo to studs, rough plumbing and electrical, inspections, insulation, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finishes — sequenced by our project manager.
Inspect & Certify
Final inspections passed, punch list completed, deep clean, and a full documentation package with warranties handed to you.
What Goes Into a Full Bathroom Renovation
The behind-the-wall systems that separate a renovation from a remodel.
In a renovation, the most important materials are the ones you will never see again. Here is what we install behind your beautiful new tile — and why each choice matters in Atlanta homes.
Plumbing: all new
We replace supply lines with PEX (freeze-tolerant, quiet, and reliable in Georgia's occasional hard freezes) and drains with properly sloped PVC, correctly vented. New shutoffs at every fixture, new shower valves with anti-scald protection, and water hammer arrestors where needed. In slab homes we tunnel or reroute carefully; in crawlspace homes we insulate and secure everything.
Electrical: safe and ample
Dedicated 20-amp GFCI circuits, proper grounding, bathroom-rated exhaust fans vented through the roof or wall (never into attics), layered lighting on dimmers, and heated-floor or steam circuits where specified. Old aluminum or cloth wiring is removed entirely, not spliced and hidden.
Structure and waterproofing
Damaged subfloor and framing replaced; floors leveled; walls plumbed and squared for tile. Then the full waterproofing system: membranes on shower walls and floors, sealed pans flood-tested before tile, and cement backer boards — never moisture-susceptible drywall in wet zones.
Finishes that last
With systems renewed, finishes go on a perfect canvas: large-format porcelain or stone tile, quartz vanity tops, quality fixtures with corrosion-proof finishes, and paint formulated for humid bathrooms. The result looks stunning because the foundation is right.

Bathroom Renovation Reviews From Atlanta
Down-to-the-studs projects — the transformations we are proudest of.
“They remodeled our entire main floor in Kennesaw — kitchen, two baths, and new flooring throughout. One project manager, one timeline, weekly photo updates. Living through a remodel was not fun, but they made it as painless as possible.”
“My mom needed a safer bathroom in Smyrna — walk-in shower, grab bars, non-slip tile. They treated her home with so much respect and explained everything patiently. It looks beautiful and she feels safe again. Highly recommend.”
