Hello again South Texas! Some bitter sweet news to tell our great community. It’s been over a year in the making but Classic Renovations has moved to the Houston area. So unfortunately we will no longer be offering our services in Corpus Christi. As the owners and operators, my wife and I decided to make the move to be closer to family. For 12 years we have had the privilege of providing quality work and craftsmanship to the great people of Corpus Christi. We’ve built lasting relationships with both local professionals as well as our clients. Please continue to follow our page for more high quality residential renovations and tell your family and friends in the Houston area about Classic Renovations. Thank you so much Corpus Christi!! Go Astros!!

Good morning south Texas! Take a look at our latest completed project. This was a complete gut and custom rebuild of the master bathroom. We added 2 new electrical circuits, rewired most of the bathroom and added lighting and an exhaust fan. Plumbed the bathroom for an additional sink. We did a custom curbless entry shower with high quality Moen fixtures including a diverter valve for a rain shower head. The water proofing in the shower and floor membrane is Schluter-Systems. We built custom cabinetry using solid knotty alder and finished them with Old Masters Dark Walnut stain and clear coated with M.L. Campbell MagnaMax clear lacquer in semi-gloss. The trim work is all solid knotty alder as well and has a custom hand distressing. It was finished same as cabinetry. The mirror frame is custom built as well. All cabinet hardware is soft closing and full extension drawer guides. The counter tops are level 4 Taj Mahal. The rolling doors are also knotty alder and stained same as the rest of the millworks. Classic Renovations means true quality craftsmanship.

We had the opportunity to attend 3 days of in-depth training at the Ardex facility in Mansfield, Tx. Ardex manufactures high performance products for tile installations and surface preparations. We also are now industry certified to install large format gauged porcelain tile. We consider it a must to continue to educate ourselves. So that when we’re installing tile for our clients they can be confident that the job is being completed by industry trained professionals who are passionate about their craft. Thanks for the invite Lewis Black. For professional and high quality craftsmanship, Classic Renovations. ARDEX Americas

Good morning South Texas! Here are a few before and after pictures of a bathroom remodel we recently completed. We had a few issues to contend with, per usual. But we put it back together using high quality materials and industry approved methods. It came beautiful and the customer is completely satisfied and loves the finished product. For quality craftsmanship, Classic Renovations.

Decided to use the same material as the vanity top for the niche shelf. What do you think?

Surprise, surprise! Walked in to this project thinking it would be a moderate kitchen update. New counter tops, backsplash and tile flooring. Fast forward to demo day and find out the sub floor has rotted out due to inadequate ventilation under the house. So out come all the lower cabinets and rotted plywood and in goes Advantech sub flooring. We went ahead and planed down the high spots in floor joists before installing the Advantech. And then we floated out the low spots. This will give us nice flat floors for new tile. Back go the cabinets, modified sink base for a farm sink, etc, etc… we’ll be laying down Ditra uncoupling membrane over the subfloor as crack prevention and water proofing. On a side note, the home owner had vents cut in to the skirting and crawl space fans installed to circulate air. Should be good from here on out. At Classic Renovations we do it right, or we don’t do it…

Classic style subway backsplash we worked on this week. Herringbone inlay, bullnose edges, mitered window stool and scribe cuts. The details matter. When professional quality is what you want, Classic Renovations.

Hello again south Texas! Take a look at a shower renovation we completed last month. It was another unfortunate situation where a fairly newly remodeled shower was completed incorrectly and began to leak. We took the stall down to the studs, plumbed the walls, added a soap niche and put it back together the right way. We used Schluter-Systems water proofing, as always, and a BUILT with FOAM custom sized shower tray. Schluter carries a manufacturers lifetime warranty against leaks when installed by a trained professional, which we are. We installed a simple 13”x13” porcelain wall tile with a nice glass mosaic deco band. The new tile matches very closely to the tile that is currently installed in the bathroom. We always follow TCNA (Tile Council of North America) guidelines when installing water proofing and tile. When you’re ready for a professional bathroom or kitchen remodel, Classic Renovations.

Good afternoon South Texas! Here are a few photo’s of a tub to shower conversion we recently completed. We had to repair the subfloor under the tub due to water damage, leveled the floors, laid down Schluter-Systems uncoupling membrane and shower water proofing system. We did a single laid pebble floor with a very nice tileable drain grate. The glass panel was set in a metal channel to avoid the use of mounting clips. The channel gives the shower a very sleek look. The bathroom floor is porcelain plank tile. For all your bathroom renovation needs, call the professionals at Classic Renovations!
