Bathroom Renovation in Georgetown, TX
Georgetown is the town where the permit conversation matters most, because a large part of what makes it beautiful is legally protected. If your house sits in the Downtown or Old Town overlay, exterior work needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before a building permit will issue — and that is a design review, not a formality.
Most bathroom failures are waterproofing failures, and they show up two years later inside the wall. We build the wet area to a proper substrate and membrane specification, then fit the tile and fixtures on top of something that will still be sound when the grout is old.
Two very different worlds. The Old Town and downtown squares hold some of the best-preserved Victorian and early-1900s housing in Central Texas, much of it inside a historic overlay. Then there is Sun City and the newer master-planned areas to the west, which are almost entirely post-1995 single-storey slab construction built for accessibility.
Applications go through the MyGovernmentOnline portal. The part that catches homeowners is the historic overlay: a Certificate of Appropriateness is reviewed against the Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines by the Historic Preservation Officer or the Historic and Architectural Review Commission, and it comes before the building permit, not after. We handle the application and inspections through City of Georgetown Development Services as part of the job.
What's included
Strip back to studs and subfloor, with any rot or previous leak damage repaired before new work starts.
Cement board or foam substrate and a bonded membrane through the wet area, tested before tile goes on.
Floor, walls, niches and curbs set to a level plane, with layout planned so cuts land where they are least visible.
Vanity, toilet, shower valve and trim, plus made-to-measure glass fitted after the tile is in.
A fan that actually clears the room, ducted outside, and lighting that works for both grooming and bathing.

Georgetown is the one with the historic overlay for us. We are based in Taylor and Georgetown is inside our core service area, so a site visit is usually within a few days of you calling — not a fortnight.
Depends on the house, not the trend. If it is the only bathroom, keeping a tub protects resale for families. If it is a primary suite and there is a tub elsewhere, a curbless walk-in is usually the better room. We will tell you which case you are in.
Two to four weeks for a full gut, and the tile and waterproofing schedule sets most of that. Membranes and mortar need proper cure time — rushing that is exactly how a bathroom fails early.
