St. George and Washington County

Indoors

Everything inside the house: the bathrooms, the kitchen, the floors, the walls and the water that runs through it.

Most people do not call a contractor by trade. They call because a room is wrong: the shower is not usable any more, the kitchen faucet drips, the wall is scarred where a shelf came down, the water leaves a ring on everything it touches. This page is the inside of the house, whichever trade the answer turns out to belong to.

Some of it appears under plumbing as well, because a tub-to-shower conversion genuinely is both. It is the same page either way, and the same quote.

Two things decide most indoor work in this county

The water. The City of St. George’s own Water Distribution Division tells residents to set a softener to 18 grains per gallon, with a maximum of 22. That is roughly 308 to 376 mg/L, which the USGS scale calls very hard, and it is why the same handful of failures repeat in this county: scale that shortens a water heater’s life, fixtures that stop sealing, glass and cabinet finishes that spot permanently if the mineral is not cleaned off before anything is coated.

The age of the house. Of Washington County’s 88,415 housing units, 7,613 were built before 1980 — about one in eleven, on the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. That cuts both ways. In most of the county the federal lead rule does not apply and you should not be sold containment you do not need; in the older parts of St. George, Washington City and Hurricane it very much does, and the age of your house is the first question rather than a formality.

Both figures are somebody else’s published numbers, and each page below that leans on one cites it.

Bathrooms you can use

The room most people want changed, and the one where a change is hardest to undo. Everything here is built so it does not read as medical equipment.

Grab bars and small changes

Half a day each, and the difference between a bathroom that works and one somebody is avoiding. A bar is only as good as what is behind the wall.

Bath and kitchen

The rooms where the plumbing and the finish work meet. One crew does both, so nobody is waiting on the other trade to come back.

The water itself

Hard water is the single most expensive thing about the supply here: it is why water heaters fail early, why fixtures scale, and why a softener is a repair decision rather than a luxury.

Painting inside

Inside, the wall is finished before it is painted. Patching, caulk and the grease nobody thinks about above a range decide what the second coat looks like.

Walls and ceilings

A repair is judged in raking light from the doorway, not head-on. Matching the texture is what makes it disappear.

  • Drywall repair and patching

    Holes, cracks, water damage and the patch somebody else left proud of the wall.

  • Texture matching

    Knockdown, orange peel or hand texture matched so the repair disappears instead of announcing itself.

  • Popcorn ceiling removal

    Scraped, retextured and repainted. On a house of a certain age it is tested first, and that is not optional.

Floors inside

A coated slab indoors lives or dies on moisture coming up through it, which is why the slab is tested before anything is quoted.

  • Basement floor coating

    A finished floor rather than a subfloor waiting for one. Moisture gets tested first, and that is not optional below grade.

  • Interior concrete floor

    Laundry rooms, utility rooms, workshops and casitas. Anywhere the slab is the floor.

Garage floors

The garage is the one floor in the house that takes hot tires, dropped tools and whatever the car brings in off the road.

  • Garage floor coating

    The bay emptied, the slab ground back, and a finish that is bonded to concrete rather than sitting on it.

  • Flake floor

    Vinyl chips broadcast into a wet base coat and locked under a clear top coat. The common finish, and the one in most of the photographs here.

  • Solid color floor

    One color, no chips. The plainest finish, and the one that shows every repair in the slab beneath it.

  • Metallic floor

    A pigmented resin worked while wet so the color moves. No two are the same, which is the point and also the risk.

  • Grind and seal

    The concrete itself is the finish. Ground back, then sealed. Nothing is added on top to fail.

Shop and warehouse floors

Bigger slabs, forklift traffic, and a schedule that belongs to somebody else's business rather than to us.

Start with a walk-through

If you are not sure what the house needs, this is where to start. You get the written assessment whether or not you hire anyone to do the work.

  • Home accessibility assessment

    A walk of the home with a written list, ranked now, soon and later, with a cost band on each. Credited to the job if you go ahead.

Where the detail is

This page is a way in, not the whole answer. Each of these carries the research, the sources and the photographs for its own work.

The quote is the number. There is no second number.
