We do bathroom remodeling in North Ghent 23507. Most calls from that zip get a same-day or next-morning visit since we keep our shop on the west side of Norfolk.
North Ghent sits on narrow lots along streets like Westover and 21st. Homes here are mostly 1920s to 1940s wood-frame two-stories with small original baths that have settled floors and old cast-iron drains. Hot humid summers push mold fast once tile starts failing, so we pull everything back to studs and add proper vents before new work goes in. We reach jobs off Hampton Boulevard without hitting downtown traffic most mornings.
Next to the neighborhood you have Lafayette Park and Maury High School. We cross those blocks daily for calls. The tight driveways and mature trees mean we park the trailer on the street and carry tools in by hand.

Bathroom Remodeling in North Ghent — Local Notes
- •1920s-1940s frame houses mean we often reframe walls to meet current codes and run new 2-inch drains where the old 1.5-inch lines sit under the floor.
- •Small lots leave little side-yard space so we stage materials on the porch and keep the job footprint inside the bath only.
- •Summer humidity here sits higher than the rest of the city because of the tree cover, so we always add a 110-cfm fan and GFCI outlet on every job.
- •Many baths still have the original clawfoot tubs; owners usually want them out for a 5-foot shower with a low curb.
