Bathroom Remodeling in Rome, GA
Bathroom remodels, tile showers and tile floors for Rome's older homes, from Between the Rivers to Garden Lakes. Full bathroom renovations from $10,900.
Tile & Bathroom Work in Rome
Rome has some of the oldest houses in northwest Georgia. Between the Rivers, the downtown neighborhood bounded by the Etowah and Oostanaula, is a National Register historic district, and neighborhoods like Celanese, Old East, East Rome and Summerville Park are full of homes built in the 1930s and 1940s. Bathrooms in houses that age were built small and have usually been patched more than once.
Palacios Installation is a family-led tile and remodeling crew based in Chatsworth, a little over an hour north. We handle full bathroom renovations: tear-out, walk-in tile showers, tub surrounds, tile floors, drywall and paint. Our work is priced as premium because we never cut corners on prep or waterproofing, and in an older Rome house the prep is most of the job.
Remodeling Bathrooms in Rome's Older Homes
Rome is known as the city of seven hills: Blossom, Jackson, Lumpkin, Mount Aventine, Myrtle, Old Shorter and Neely. Many of the houses on and around those hills are 70 to 100 years old, and old houses move. In the bathroom that shows up as a floor that isn't level, walls that aren't square and doorways that are slightly out of plumb. Before new tile goes down we check the subfloor and joists, flatten what needs flattening and plan the layout so cuts land where you won't notice them.
Older bathrooms also hide things behind the walls: original tile set in a thick mortar bed, old galvanized or cast iron pipes, and soft subfloor around the toilet or tub where water got in over the years. Once the old finishes come off, we show you what's there and fix the base before building anything on top of it.
Rome's mid-century neighborhoods are their own category. Garden Lakes, between Redmond Circle and the Oostanaula, is mostly ranch homes and brick traditionals, and Cherokee Acres, North Hills and Horseleg Estates date mainly to the 1950s and 1960s. Bathrooms from that era are often built around a standard 5-foot tub alcove, which makes them good candidates for a tile tub surround or a walk-in tile shower in the same footprint.

Rome Questions
A full bathroom renovation starts at $10,900, depending on the size of the room. If you only need part of the bathroom done, a custom walk-in tile shower starts at $3,600, a tile tub surround around your existing tub starts at $1,800, and tile floors start at $8.50 per square foot. In older Rome homes, repairs found behind the walls can add to the cost, so we price after seeing the space.
Yes. Plenty of Rome homeowners want a bathroom that works like a new one but still suits a 1920s bungalow or a 1950s ranch. Classic choices like small hexagon or penny tile floors, subway tile walls and simple trim fit older homes well. We'll talk through options at the estimate and help you choose tile that fits the house instead of fighting it.
Yes. We're based in Chatsworth, a little over an hour north of Rome, and we take bathroom, shower and tile projects in Rome and Floyd County.

In older homes it's common to find rot, soft subfloor or old plumbing once the walls and floor are opened up. If we find damage, we stop, show you, and explain what has to be fixed before new tile can go on. Covering bad framing or a wet subfloor with new tile only hides the problem, and it usually comes back as cracked tile or a leak.
