Orléans homes from the 1980s and 1990s in areas like Fallingbrook and Convent Glen are reaching the age where the original tile and tub surround need to go.
Many owners here are planning for retirement in the same house, so accessible showers, grab bars and comfort-height toilets come up often. Service in French on request.
Down to the studs: new plumbing where needed, subfloor repair, waterproofing, tile, vanity, fixtures and a fan that actually vents outside.
Take out a tub you never use and put in a walk-in shower with a proper base, membrane and glass.
Curbless or low-threshold showers, grab bars on proper blocking, a bench and handheld shower for aging in place.
Shower walls, floors and heated floors, installed over a continuous waterproofing membrane.
