FISHERS REMODELING
Bathroom Remodeling in Indianapolis, IN
Updating Indianapolis bathrooms, from century-old bungalows to 1960s ranches.
Indianapolis homes cover more than a century of building, and bathrooms age differently in each era. In Irvington, Meridian-Kessler, Butler-Tarkington, and Fountain Square, many houses date to the early 1900s through the 1930s: plaster walls, cast iron tubs, small footprints, and sometimes just one full bath for the whole house. Farther out, in areas like Lawrence, Castleton, and much of the northeast side, 1950s through 1970s ranches often still have pastel wall tile, a tub under a window, and a narrow vanity.
Older homes bring surprises. We regularly find galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, uneven floor framing, and past water damage around the tub. Planning for those possibilities up front, instead of pretending they will not happen, keeps a remodel honest and on budget.
Fishers Remodeling is run by Jason Guilliam out of Fortville, northeast of the city. We take on Indianapolis bathroom projects where a careful, owner-led crew makes a difference, especially in older houses that need a thoughtful approach.
Bathroom remodeling services for Indianapolis homes
- Walk-in tile showers that fit narrow old-house bathrooms, with niches recessed between studs
- Tub-to-shower conversions where a single bath needs to serve adults better, or keeping a tub-shower where kids still need one
- Tub-shower surrounds retiled over new backer board and a proper waterproof membrane
- Vanities scaled to small rooms, pedestal-to-vanity swaps, and extra storage built into wall cavities
- Floor repairs and new tile, including leveling for sloped old floors
- New valves, handheld showers, and exhaust fans vented outside, which many older homes never had
What to expect during the project
After a site visit, you receive a written scope listing materials and the work sequence. For older homes, we will point out the unknowns, such as what might be behind the plaster or under the floor, and how we will handle them if they turn up.
Once work starts, we protect floors and nearby rooms, demo carefully to limit dust, then handle plumbing, framing, and waterproofing before tile goes up. Finish work comes last. Timelines vary with size and what we discover, and if your home has only one bathroom, we will plan the sequence around that from day one.

FAQ: bathroom remodeling in Indianapolis
Can you work in a historic Irvington or Meridian-Kessler home?
Yes. We are careful with original trim, doors, and floors outside the bathroom, and we can choose finishes like hex floor tile or subway tile that feel right in an older house.
What if you find old galvanized plumbing?
It is common in older Indianapolis homes. We will show you what we find and recommend replacing the affected lines while the walls are open, since that is the cheapest time to do it.
Is a one-bath house a good candidate for a tub-to-shower conversion?
It can be, but keep resale in mind. Many buyers with young kids want a tub. We can walk through both options and what each means for your home.
Do you get permits for Indianapolis bathroom remodels?
When the scope requires one, such as moving plumbing or electrical, we plan for it as part of the project.
