Meadow Vista Well-Water Bathroom Rebuild

1970s ranch home on five acres of Meadow Vista with private well water. Full primary-bath rebuild — replaced visible galvanized supply with PEX, demolished a failing fiberglass shower, installed a Schluter Kerdi walk-in with hard-water-friendly fixtures.

Meadow Vista bathroom remodel — sage stone-tile walk-in shower with frameless glass and warm wood vanity in a wooded foothill ranch home

Representative Meadow Vista work: 1970s ranch home on five acres, on private well water with mineral-rich supply. The primary bathroom hadn't been touched since the home was built — galvanized supply lines, an alcove tub the owners didn't use, a fiberglass shower stall with original cement-board substrate failing at the pan, and a single oak vanity.

What we changed

  • Pulled the tub, demoed the shower to studs, and replaced visible galvanized supply with PEX up to the manifold
  • Built a Schluter Kerdi-membrane walk-in shower with a Schluter Kerdi-Line linear drain
  • Specified Brizo Litze fixtures with replaceable cartridges (mineral-friendly maintenance), sealed the grout with a quality penetrating sealer, and added a frameless glass enclosure with a hydrophobic coating to slow hard-water spotting
  • Replaced the oak vanity with a walnut floating piece on honed quartz

Result

The bathroom looks polished and performs honestly given the well-water reality. Active build was five weeks (longer than a typical primary bath because of the plumbing-replacement scope); permit was pulled with Placer County.
