Short answer
We remodel bathrooms and repair the damage behind them in Thomasville. Why so much repair? Point2Homes dates the median Thomasville home to 1983, and a bathroom in daily use for four decades has often developed a leak somewhere, whether in the shower pan, around the tub or at the valve behind the wall.
Signs a Thomasville shower is leaking behind the tile
Loose or hollow-sounding tiles, grout that keeps cracking, a stain on the ceiling under the bathroom, a musty smell that returns after cleaning and a floor that gives near the tub all point to water getting where it should not. Caulk can hide the problem for a while, but it does not stop it. We open the area, find the source and decide whether a shower repair is enough or the pan and walls need rebuilding. Once the wall is open, we check the framing and the subfloor below. Rotted wood gets cut out and replaced before any new waterproofing or tile goes in, so the repair holds.
Practical remodels for a $179,300 median home
Homes here are modestly priced: the median owner-occupied value is $179,300 on Census QuickFacts, with 62.4 percent of homes owner-occupied. At that value, a bathroom budget has to work hard. A fixture-only update with a new tub or shower surround, vanity, toilet and floor suits a room with no hidden damage. A full tear-out makes sense when leaks have reached the framing. We price both so you can compare, and we show you any damage we find before the price changes. Leaks also show up elsewhere. Water-stained ceilings and swollen drywall under a bathroom are part of the same repair, and we patch, texture and paint them to blend with the rest of the room.
A furniture town's older districts and our drive
Chair making started here at home in the 1860s, Thomasville Chair began in 1904, and by 1916 the city turned out about 2,000 chairs a day; the last two Thomasville Furniture plants closed in 2014. The Big Chair, a 30-foot Duncan Phyfe replica set in concrete in 1951, still marks downtown. National Register districts include Randolph Street, Salem Street and Thomasville Downtown. The city is 24.9 road miles southwest of Greensboro, about 31 minutes, and permits are confirmed with the City of Thomasville address by address.
