This 1929 home was remodeled to sell. Part of the remodel was a newly tiled bathtub surround and floor. The tile in the surround was covering a window that had been above the bathtub. The remodelers did not cover the window properly and did a terrible job on the tile which lead to severe water intrusion and rotten wood. The new owner knew that the bathroom could be easier to clean and maintain and more beautiful with an update. We removed the tile which uncovered the severe rot. The rot we discovered was way beyond normal, but is always possible and the primary reason we will not just cover up. We did have to bring in additional help for re-framing. We installed the glass block window with the vent and the new acrylic surround, tub and DuraCeramic floor.
