Bathroom Remodeling in Older Homes in Gilbert
Bathroom remodels for pre-1980 homes that start with the plumbing. We inspect the old drains and supply lines, fix what needs it, then build the new room.

Gilbert is home base, so we work in every corner of town, from the Heritage District to the newer neighborhoods near the Loop 202. Most Gilbert homes are 1990s or newer, so water heaters, hard-water wear and remodel plumbing are the jobs we see most.

Most of Gilbert was built from the 1990s on, so the pipes are usually PEX, CPVC or copper, and drains are plastic under the slab. The older homes sit closer to the Heritage District. Those are the ones where we check drain lines before a remodel.
Hard water is the everyday issue. Minerals build up inside tank and tankless water heaters, faucets and valves, and heaters in hot garages work harder through the summer. Many first-generation water heaters in 1990s and 2000s homes are now due for replacement.

We're based in Gilbert, so every neighborhood in town is home turf for us. Most jobs start with a free visual estimate.

Either way, you get a clear number before work begins.
Many Gilbert homes still run the water heater the builder installed, and hard water shortens its life. Signs it's due include rusty or lukewarm water, popping noises and moisture around the base. We will check the tank and tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.
Some jobs do, such as water heater replacements, gas lines and remodel plumbing. The rules come from the Town of Gilbert, so it is worth checking with them for your project. When a permit is required for the plumbing scope, Renova coordinates it and leaves the work ready for inspection.
