Short answer
We remodel bathrooms and kitchens across High Point, a city of 120,571 that reaches into four counties. Most of the work traces back to one number from Point2Homes: a median build year of 1989, which means a typical house here still has bathrooms and a kitchen from the late 1980s or early 1990s.
Late-1980s bathrooms: what to keep and what to replace
A bathroom built around 1989 usually still functions but shows its age: a cultured marble vanity top, a fiberglass tub surround, a builder mirror and a single light bar. Before deciding on a full tear-out, we check whether the drain and supply locations suit the new layout and whether the subfloor is sound. If both are, a walk-in shower and new vanity can go in without moving plumbing, which keeps cost and time down.
Kitchens from the same years are often good candidates for paint rather than new cabinets, especially when the boxes are solid wood. With a median owner-occupied value of $235,800 per Census QuickFacts, a cabinet paint job, new counters and better lighting are often the right-sized investment. Two-tone schemes, with a darker island and lighter perimeter, make the change look deliberate rather than patched.
Rental turnovers near High Point University
High Point University enrolls about 4,400 students, and QuickFacts puts owner occupancy at 57.8 percent, so a large share of houses are rentals. Between tenants, landlords need durable floors, scrubbable paint, solid fixtures and a bathroom that survives hard use. We plan rental work around move-out and move-in dates and finish with a punch list that gets the unit ready to show. Tenants notice a fan that clears steam and a shower valve that holds its temperature, so those get priority over decorative extras.
Older districts, storm history and permits
Not every house here is newer. National Register districts include Oakwood, Uptown Suburbs, Washington Street, West High Street and the Highland Cotton Mills Village, where original trim and windows deserve repair before replacement. The city also has storm history: a strong tornado struck High Point in 2010. When a storm or a burst line leaves water damage, we rebuild drywall, floors and cabinets once the structure is dry. High Point sits 14.1 road miles west-southwest of Greensboro, about 25 minutes. Because the city crosses four counties, we check with the City of High Point about permits for each address before setting a start date.
