Why bathrooms are our proven core
Every Google review featured on this site is a bathroom project — a primary bath, three full baths for one family, a master bath finished on time with daily cleanup, and a 40-year-old master bath rebuilt from the studs. Marietta homeowners rating us 4.9 from 44 reviews are mostly rating bathrooms. See bathroom remodeling.
The hidden-cost trio in older Marietta baths
- Rotted subfloor under old tile — budgeted after a moisture-aware inspection, not discovered at demo
- Vent fans vented into the attic instead of outside
- Polybutylene or end-of-life supply lines in 1978–1995 homes
A worked comparison: the accessibility premium, priced
Cost vs. Value 2025 Atlanta lets you isolate what universal design actually costs. Its midrange bathroom is modelled at $25,304; its universal-design bathroom — curbless shower, grab bars, wider door and the clearances that make a bath work for every age — is modelled at $41,047. The difference, $15,743, is the honest planning figure for building accessibility in during a remodel you are already doing, and it recouped 66.7% in the same report. Retrofitting those features later means reopening tile, framing and plumbing, so for East Cobb owners planning to stay, the during-remodel route is almost always the cheaper one — see our aging-in-place page for how the features are sequenced.
Read any bathroom quote against this scope check
Whichever tier you choose, the written quote should separate demolition and disposal, plumbing and electrical changes, waterproofing, tile and setting materials, fixtures, ventilation vented outside, permits and inspections, and the contingency for the subfloor and supply-line surprises listed above. A single lump sum with none of that separated cannot be compared with the reconciled ranges in this guide.
