Wheelersburg homes split into two age cohorts. The newer subdivisions off Pyles Creek and Bennett Schoolhouse have builder-grade bathrooms in good structural shape. Most remodels there are cosmetic-to-mid. The older homes around the high school and the established Wheelersburg neighborhoods have bathrooms that haven’t been touched since the 1980s, with cast iron drains, plaster walls, and original fixtures. Both need a different approach. HHS Contracting handles both. Call (740) 357-9020 for a walk-through.
What Wheelersburg Bathroom Remodels Cost
A full bathroom remodel in Wheelersburg runs $10,000 to $25,000: new tub or shower, tile, vanity, toilet, fixtures, lighting. A half-bath refresh runs $5,000 to $10,000. Primary bathroom with custom tile, double vanity, and a walk-in shower runs $30,000 to $50,000. Older Wheelersburg homes (pre-1985) usually add $2,000 to $5,000 for plaster removal, asbestos check on tile, or cast-iron-to-PVC drain replacement.
What We Handle
Demo and rough-in: pull old tile, fixtures, vanity, and any cabinetry. If the home is older, we evaluate the subfloor for water damage (very common) and the drain stack for cast-iron deterioration before we close the wall.
Waterproofing: the single most important step in a bathroom remodel. Shower pan membrane, walls behind tile in wet zones, and proper penetration sealing. We don’t skip this; corner-cutting on waterproofing is the #1 reason bathrooms need to be redone five years in.
Tile and finish: full tile installs, glass enclosures, vanity, mirror, lighting, exhaust, accessories. We coordinate the finish selections with you before demo so the project ships on time.
Accessibility upgrades: grab bars in framing (not just into drywall), curbless or low-curb showers, comfort-height toilets, lever faucets. We can age-in-place a primary bath as a separate scope or built into a remodel.
Why HHS in Wheelersburg
We do not subcontract the tile work. The most common reason a Wheelersburg bathroom remodel turns into a horror story is hired tilers who didn’t waterproof properly. Our own crew handles the wet zones from membrane through grout, and the same crew handles the plumbing rough-in so there’s accountability when a fixture lands.

Older Wheelersburg Homes: What to Expect
If your home is pre-1985, plan for a few surprises behind the wall. Cast iron drains corrode from inside; once the corrosion eats through, you’ve got a slow leak that’s already rotted the subfloor. Plaster walls are heavier and slower to demo than drywall. Old hex tile floors set in mud may contain low-level asbestos in the adhesive. We test before we cut. None of this is a deal-breaker. It just means budget a 15 to 20 percent contingency instead of 10.
