Remodeling a Bathroom in Washington, DC?
The typical DC row house was built with one bathroom, stacked over the kitchen, with a cast iron stack that has been there a century. Remodeling it, or adding a second one, is mostly about that stack, the joists and what the floor can take. We check those before we price.
What Bathroom Remodeling Work in Washington Actually Involves
One Bathroom, One Stack
Most row houses in the District went up with a single bathroom on the second floor, directly above the kitchen so both could share one stack. A century on, that stack is cast iron and often the reason for slow drains and a smell nobody can place. A full remodel is the time to replace it. Adding a second bathroom, in the basement or carved from a bedroom, means either tying into that stack or running a new one, and where the joists run decides how easy that is.
Waterproofing Is The Part You Never See Again
In a narrow house with the neighbors sharing both walls, a shower that leaks does not stay your problem. The pan, the membrane and the flood test happen before any tile is set, and you can see them before they are covered. Plumbing changes go on a Department of Buildings permit with the work done by a licensed plumber, and a basement bathroom below the sewer level needs an ejector pump, which is in the price from the start.
