Short answer
We remodel bathrooms and build porches across Rockingham County, including Reidsville, Eden, Madison and Mayodan. Age sets the agenda here: with a median build year of 1978 per Point2Homes, the oldest of the six counties around Greensboro, half the homes are now more than four decades old.
What a 1978 median build year means behind the tile
Bathrooms of that age often have small wall tile, older supply lines and a tub that has been recaulked many times. Water that slips past old grout for years tends to show up as a soft floor at the tub apron or a stain on the ceiling below. We tear out to sound framing, replace what has rotted and waterproof the new shower before any tile goes up, so the same failure does not repeat behind new finishes. QuickFacts shows 72.1 percent owner occupancy and a median owner-occupied value of $168,600, the most modest of the six counties. At that value, we help owners spend where it counts first: a sound subfloor and a tub-to-shower conversion before decorative upgrades.
Porches for lake country around Belews Lake and Lake Reidsville
Belews Lake and Lake Reidsville are the county's two major lakes, and porch life follows the water. An open front porch on an older house often needs new posts, decking and a ceiling before anything else, since porch framing takes the weather first. Out back, a screened porch whose roof joins the house's own roofline gives summer evenings without the bugs. Under the state code, porch footings sit no less than 12 inches into undisturbed soil.
Mill-town history and how we plan the drive north
Mill towns shaped this county: John Motley Morehead built the first cotton mill at Leaksville in 1813, and Mayodan grew up around the Mayo Mills built in 1895. The county seat, Wentworth, is 28.5 road miles north of Greensboro, about 41 minutes, and Reidsville sits nearer the Guilford line. We group site visits in the northern towns so each trip covers more ground. We confirm with the county or the town, whichever covers the address, before work starts. Houses in the older town centers can need several of the jobs on this page at once, so we price bathroom, porch and rot work separately and let you set the order.
