Bathroom Remodeling in River Oaks.
Bathrooms fail from the inside out. In River Oaks homes we routinely open walls and find pan liners that were never lapped correctly, hot-mopped pans past their life, or vents dumping humidity into the attic. Getting waterproofing and ventilation right is the difference between a bath that lasts twenty years and one that fails in five.

River Oaks homes
River Oaks, Avalon Place, and Royden Oaks hold some of Houston's most significant homes — traditional, Georgian, and contemporary properties where detail and proportion matter more than speed. Work here is millwork-heavy: paneled rooms, custom cabinetry, stone slab installations, plaster, and restoration-quality finish carpentry, often alongside full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing replacement.
We design the room around the plumbing you have or the plumbing you are willing to move, confirm slab or pier-and-beam access early, and detail the waterproofing assembly before a single tile is ordered.
Who reviews it
Everything permits through the City of Houston, and deed restrictions in these neighborhoods are enforced strictly. Historic considerations, setbacks, and lot coverage limits shape what an addition can be, so we resolve those before the design is set.

River Oaks questions
Can you do a curbless shower on a slab foundation?
Yes. It requires cutting and re-sloping the slab to recess the shower pan, which we plan for at design and price into the proposal — it is not a surprise change order.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A straightforward bath that keeps the existing plumbing locations, with every material on site before demo, is about 7 days on site. A typical primary bath with a new shower and tile runs 3–6 weeks. A custom spa bath with relocated plumbing, stone, or steam runs 8–12 weeks.
Do you work with our architect or designer?
Yes. We work with outside architects and designers, and we also have architecture and interior design through our professional partners if you would rather keep everything under one contract.
How do you protect a high-value home during construction?
Full site protection, dust containment, dedicated site supervision, insured trades, and a documented daily log. Occupied luxury remodels require that discipline.
