Buckhead

A condo bathroom is a different job from a house.

Half the bathroom work in Buckhead happens above the tenth floor, and a high rise changes almost everything about how the job gets built. There is a building engineer to clear the scope with. There is a window for shutting off the riser, and it is not always the window you wanted. Material comes up a freight elevator on a schedule somebody else sets, demo debris goes down the same way, and there are hours outside which you cannot make noise.

None of that is difficult. It is just the part that turns a three week job into a seven week job when the contractor has not done it before and finds out about the elevator reservation on day one.

The rest of Buckhead is mid century ranches and newer builds off the main corridors, which is ordinary residential work. Same waterproofing standard either way.

Why bathrooms fail

In a high rise, the waterproofing is not only your problem.

A shower that fails in a house damages your ceiling. A shower that fails on the fourteenth floor damages the unit below yours, and that conversation involves your HOA and two insurers.

Every wall and the pan get a bonded membrane, the pan is pre sloped, and the drain is bonded to the membrane rather than sitting next to it. We build with Schluter and Wedi. Building engineers tend to recognise both, which makes scope approval faster.

One warranty callback in the history of the business. It was handled.

Questions

Buckhead, answered.

Do you work in Buckhead high rises?

Yes. The condo shower on this page was a Buckhead building. We work with the building engineer on scope, riser shut off windows, freight elevator booking and permitted work hours before demo starts.

Will my HOA need paperwork?

Most buildings want a written scope of work before they release the freight elevator, and each management office has its own paperwork. Tell us the building early so we know what yours requires before demo day rather than on the morning of.

Can you blend new tile into a floor I am keeping?

Yes, and the Buckhead condo on this page is exactly that. It is harder than replacing everything, because the new work has to meet the old at the same height and the transition has to look deliberate rather than patched.

What does a Buckhead bathroom remodel cost?

The condo shower on this page was $24,000. Most full remodels land between $20,000 and $35,000, and smaller bathrooms start around $15,000. High rise logistics can add time more than they add cost.
