Master Bath Remodel · Mistletoe Heights
Nobody drew a primary bath into a 1922 house. Master Bath Remodel in Mistletoe Heights
A whole-house remodeler that will still take a single bathroom. Plumbing finally where it should have gone, and a room that stops feeling borrowed from another house.
Design, drawn and built
What a master bath remodel in Mistletoe Heights involves
In Mistletoe Heights
A primary bath is the one room a 1920s house did not build, so here it is almost always an assembly — an original bath, a closet, a stretch of hall, or the back corner of a bedroom, made into a single room. Which combination is available to you is a plumbing and framing answer, not a design preference, and it is the first thing worth knowing. The one thing that is not in question is approval: interior work needs no review on any address in this neighborhood, so this is one of the few projects here whose calendar belongs entirely to the job.
This is the one room worth taking on its own. Partly because you start every morning in it, and partly because in a house that has been fixed everywhere else, it is almost always the thing still waiting.
Layout, plumbing moved where the room needs it, tile and stone chosen against the floors and trim you already have, glass, lighting, ventilation that actually clears steam. Drawn by our team, built by our crew, on the same cost-plus billing as a project ten times the size.

What the houses here actually ask for
1922
A genuinely pre-war neighborhood — the median house dates to 1922, four in five went up before 1940, and the original deed restrictions banned frame construction, which is why brick and stucco run these streets.
Houses this old have good bones and a floor plan built for another century. Most of the work here is reorganizing what's already there, carefully — and knowing exactly which rules apply to your address before anyone draws.

The moves that matter in Mistletoe Heights
Every neighborhood rewards something different. These are the three that come up on almost every master bath remodel we take on.
-
Keep the wet work off the outside wall
These are masonry houses by original deed restriction. The exterior walls are the expensive place to run new supply and vent, so the bath gets planned around the interior walls that can take it.
-
Masonry outside, wood inside
The walls are brick and stucco by original deed restriction, but the floor under them is 1920s wood. It was framed for a tub and a toilet, so it gets opened and checked before a stone top is ordered.
-
Separate anything the street can see
Nothing inside these walls is a review question. One replaced window quietly makes it one, so exterior items are drawn as their own scope instead of riding along with the bath.
How it works
A master bath remodel in Mistletoe Heights, in three steps
The people who draw it, price it, and build it share a hallway — which is why the plan you fall in love with is the plan that actually gets built.
Meet Up
We walk the house, listen to how you actually live in it, and talk honestly about budget before anyone draws a line.
Team Up
Our designers and drafting team put a real plan on paper — layout, selections, and a number you can build around.
Glasses Up
We build it, keep you in the loop, and hand back a home that feels like you. Pour something good.
Both numbers, one conversation
Remodel it, or sell it?
You love the street. The house is the question — and in a pre-war neighborhood, it's a real one.
What the work would cost
Priced by the people who'd build it.
Design, drafting and construction, in house.
What it'd sell for as-is
Valued by the agents who sell this market.
6th Ave Homes is a licensed brokerage.
Most Fort Worth companies can only fill in one side.
We're one of the few companies in Fort Worth built to answer it straight — our agents sell in this market and our design and construction teams price the remodel, so you can weigh a real renovation number against what the house would actually sell for. Sometimes the answer is a second story. Sometimes it's a listing. We'll tell you which one we'd pick and why.

Is my Mistletoe Heights house actually in the historic district?
That's an address question, not a neighborhood one — and it's the first thing we check. About two-thirds of Mistletoe Heights sits under the city's historic overlay; one corner opted out at designation and carries no overlay at all. If your address is inside it, exterior work needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before the permit. If it isn't, the standard permit path applies. Anyone who answers this from the neighborhood name is guessing with your schedule.
Does the review add time to the schedule?
On overlay addresses it adds a real step with a real calendar, and it's very manageable when the drawings anticipate it rather than discover it. That's the practical advantage of the people who draw your plans sitting down the hall from the people who build them — the submittal is drawn to be approved the first time.
What do we give up to get the primary bath?
Something the house is currently using — and that trade is the real decision, because a 1920s house has no slack in it. Taking the hall can strand a bedroom. Taking the closet buys you a bath and costs you the storage the bath now needs. Taking the third bedroom is the biggest gain and the one that shows up in an appraisal, so it's worth pricing the bath and the bedroom count together rather than in sequence. We draw two or three versions of the trade before anyone commits to one, because on paper it's an afternoon and in framing it's a change order.
What if the bathroom we want is bigger than the space we have?
Then part of it is an addition. Stealing a few feet from a closet, a hall, or a bedroom is common and often enough. When it is not, a primary suite addition is a different project with a different number, and you should hear that before demolition rather than during it.
Is a fixture swap enough, or does the whole room have to come out?
If a new vanity and a paint color would fix it, we will tell you so and you should go do that. A bath we take on is a full remodel: plumbing and electrical relocated, waterproofing done properly, tile set to a plan. That is the room we are built for.
