Bathrooms Built to Last in Coastal Conditions

Bathroom remodeling services for homeowners in Summerville and across Coastal South Carolina.

Your bathroom in Summerville takes more moisture exposure than any other room in your home, and over time that shows up as cracked grout, peeling caulk, soft spots in the floor, or mildew along the shower walls. Whether you are updating a guest bath or rebuilding a primary suite, Precision Home Repair handles bathroom renovations that range from cosmetic refreshes to full teardowns and rebuilds. We install showers, tubs, vanities, flooring, and tile using materials designed to resist moisture and hold up under years of use.

We focus on long-term performance, not just appearance, which means selecting grout and sealants that resist mold, underlayment that stays stable when wet, and ventilation that actually moves humid air out of the space. Our work is suitable for guest bathrooms, primary suites, and coastal homes where humidity levels stay high year-round. Precision Home Repair coordinates all trades, from plumbing rough-in to tile setting, so the project stays on schedule and every detail is handled correctly.

If your bathroom has water stains, outdated fixtures, or flooring that feels spongy underfoot, contact Precision Home Repair to schedule a bathroom remodel estimate and go over what needs to be replaced or repaired in your home in Summerville.

How a bathroom remodel addresses moisture damage

We begin by removing old tile, flooring, and fixtures to expose the subfloor and wall framing in your Summerville bathroom. This lets us identify any rot, mold, or structural damage caused by years of water exposure. If the subfloor has soft spots or the studs show signs of water intrusion, we replace those sections before installing new materials. We use cement backer board behind tile, waterproof membranes under flooring, and properly sloped shower pans to direct water toward the drain instead of into the walls.

After the remodel, you will notice grout lines that stay clean longer, caulk that does not peel away from corners, and flooring that remains firm and dry underfoot. Showers will drain faster and more evenly, and mirrors will not fog as heavily if we added or upgraded exhaust ventilation. Vanities installed with sealed bases and moisture-resistant materials will not warp or swell even in high-humidity conditions common to coastal South Carolina.

We install low-threshold shower bases for accessibility and use epoxy grout in wet areas to reduce maintenance. If your bathroom includes a tub, we ensure proper support framing and plumbing access for future repairs. This work does not include mold remediation beyond surface cleaning, but we do replace damaged framing and subfloor sections as needed to restore structural integrity before finishing the space.

We answer these questions often

Homeowners in Summerville preparing for a bathroom remodel usually ask about timelines, material choices for wet areas, and whether old plumbing needs to be replaced. Here are the answers to the most common questions we receive before starting a bathroom renovation.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A full bathroom remodel typically takes two to three weeks, depending on whether we are replacing plumbing, moving walls, or just updating finishes. Cosmetic updates like new tile, vanity, and fixtures can be completed in under a week.
What causes soft spots in bathroom floors?
Soft spots develop when water leaks through grout or caulk and saturates the subfloor, causing the wood or plywood to rot. We remove the damaged subfloor, dry out the area, and install moisture-resistant underlayment before laying new tile or vinyl flooring.
Why does grout crack and turn dark?
Grout cracks when the subfloor flexes or when it was not mixed or applied correctly during installation. Dark staining usually means mold or mildew has grown into porous grout. We use epoxy grout in showers and high-traffic areas because it resists staining and does not absorb water like traditional cement grout.
What type of tile works best in coastal bathrooms?
Porcelain tile works well in Summerville bathrooms because it absorbs less water than ceramic and holds up better under constant humidity. We install it on floors and shower walls with waterproof membranes underneath to prevent moisture from reaching the subfloor or framing.
When should I replace bathroom plumbing during a remodel?
If your home was built before 1990 or you notice low water pressure, slow drains, or visible corrosion on supply lines, it makes sense to update the plumbing while walls and floors are open. Precision Home Repair coordinates licensed plumbers to handle replacements and bring everything up to current code.

If your bathroom has cracked tile, peeling caulk, or flooring that feels soft when you step on it, Precision Home Repair can rebuild the space with materials designed to resist moisture and last for years in coastal conditions.
