Why Groundwork Construction Co. of Las Vegas Is Whitney’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve been serving unincorporated Clark County since 2014, and Whitney’s become one of our most frequent stops. The concentration of 40-50-year-old homes in 89122 means we’ve handled more post-tension slab bathroom remodels here than in almost any other ZIP in our service area. Our customers in Whitney know we don’t guess at what’s under their floors.
Our reviews from Whitney homeowners consistently mention two things: we show up when we say we will, and we catch problems other crews miss. That 1987 stucco home near Whitney Mesa? The corroded galvanized drain line we found during what should’ve been a simple tub-to-shower conversion would’ve flooded the slab if we’d cut blindly. We don’t cut blindly.
Response time to Whitney is typically same-day for estimates and within 48 hours for project starts once materials are ordered. We’re not driving from Henderson or Summerlin - we’re already working in The Lakes, Paradise, and Winchester, so Whitney is a straight shot down Flamingo or Tropicana.
The local knowledge that matters most: we know Whitney is unincorporated Clark County, not City of Las Vegas. That means permits, inspections, and code enforcement all flow through the Clark County Building Department on Grand Central Parkway. Contractors who file Las Vegas permits for Whitney jobs create delays and red tape that can add weeks. We file correctly the first time.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Whitney
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Whitney’s older tract homes often means working around original galvanized plumbing, outdated electrical, and those thick mortar beds that were standard in 1980s construction. We strip to studs when necessary, coordinate all trades in-house, and manage the Clark County permit process from start to finish. Most full remodels in Whitney’s 1,200-1,600 square foot homes take 3-5 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation is our most requested upgrade in Whitney, especially for homeowners aging in place or simply tired of climbing over tub walls. In 89122’s post-tension slab homes, we always scan before we cut - ground-penetrating radar or X-ray to locate tensioned cables, then precision cutting to avoid them. A proper curbless or low-curb shower requires careful accounting of slab height and mortar bed thickness; we’ve seen out-of-market crews create step-ups or pooling that failed county inspection. We don’t.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting an old tub to a shower in a 1980s Whitney home is straightforward until it isn’t. The original drain location, slab composition, and venting all need evaluation before we quote. Our tub-to-shower conversions in Whitney typically run $3,500-$10,000, with most falling in the $5,500-$7,500 range for standard acrylic or tile surrounds. If your galvanized drain is corroded - common in 40-year-old Whitney homes - we’ll catch it during demo and reroute with modern PVC, not patch and pray.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Whitney’s hard water takes a toll on fixtures. We specify Kohler and other trusted brands with solid brass construction and ceramic disc valves that withstand mineral buildup better than the builder-grade originals. For tile, we account for the thermal expansion that comes with 110°F summer heat - proper expansion joints, appropriate mortar selection, and backer board installation that won’t crack when the stucco shell breathes. Small details that matter when you’re backing the work with a 730-Day Done Right Promise.

Trusted Brands We Service in Whitney
We stock and install Kohler fixtures, KraftMaid vanities, and Cambria quartz surfaces for Whitney customers - no waiting on special orders from out of state. Our relationships with these manufacturers mean warranty claims are handled directly, not bounced between you and a 1-800 number. For tile, we work with several regional distributors with Las Vegas warehouses, so replacement pieces for future repairs are obtainable. That’s the difference between a contractor who orders whatever’s available and one who plans for the life of your home.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Whitney Homes
- Corroded galvanized drain lines under post-tension slabs. Original 1970s-1980s drains in Whitney homes are often galvanized steel, now 40+ years old and failing from the inside. We scan, locate, and replace with trenchless methods or precision routing - never blind cutting.
- Slab height mismatches for curbless showers. The thick mortar beds common in Whitney’s era of construction can create elevation challenges. We measure precisely and adjust the design or use specialized drains to achieve proper slope without creating a step.
- Wrong jurisdiction permitting. Contractors unfamiliar with Whitney file Las Vegas permits, get rejected, and leave homeowners in limbo. We file directly with Clark County Building Department, know the inspectors by name, and schedule inspections to avoid delays.
- Heat-damaged exterior venting and caulking. Whitney’s 110°F+ summers degrade bathroom exhaust fan housings and caulking faster than milder climates. We specify UV-stable materials and proper vent terminations that won’t crack or leak after two summers.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Whitney
Yes. Whitney is unincorporated Clark County, so all bathroom remodeling permits, inspections, and final approvals go through the Clark County Building Department on Grand Central Parkway, not the City of Las Vegas. We handle the entire permitting process as part of our project management - filing, scheduling inspections, and coordinating corrections if needed. Call (855) 951-4361 and we’ll walk you through what’s required for your specific scope.
If your Whitney home was built between roughly 1975 and 1995, it almost certainly does - post-tension slabs were standard for Las Vegas Valley tract homes in that era. Look for small circular patches (about 2-3 inches) in the garage floor or exterior walkways - these cover the stressed cable anchorages. If you’re unsure, we can identify it during your free estimate. Never let any contractor cut a slab in Whitney without first scanning for tensioned cables.
A small bathroom remodel in Whitney’s 1970s-1990s homes typically runs $5,000-$12,000. Most fall in the $7,000-$9,000 range for a standard 5×8 foot hall bath with new tub or shower surround, toilet, vanity, and tile floor. Older homes may need drain line replacement or electrical updates, which we identify during demo and quote before proceeding - no change orders after the fact. Call (855) 951-4361 for an exact quote on your specific bathroom.
In Whitney homes, an uneven bathroom floor usually signals one of three problems: original settlement of the post-tension slab (common but usually stable), deterioration of the mortar bed under tile (the thick beds used in 1980s construction can crack and shift), or water damage from a slow leak that’s compromised the subfloor. We diagnose the cause before quoting any fix - slapping new tile over a failing substrate wastes your money. Our 730-Day Done Right Promise means we stand behind the real solution, not the surface patch.
Yes, and it’s one of our most popular projects in 89122. Most 1980s Whitney bathrooms have the space and plumbing rough-in for a clean conversion. The critical factors are drain location (can we use the existing or do we need to cut the slab?), slab height (will the new pan and tile create a step-up?), and venting (older homes sometimes lack adequate vent stacks). We evaluate all three during your free estimate. Most tub-to-shower conversions in Whitney homes run $3,500-$10,000 and take 5-7 working days. Call (855) 951-4361 to schedule yours.
