Regrouting and retiling Mountain View's 1970s bathrooms
Mountain View's median home was built in 1975, and the 1970s were the city's biggest building decade. A bathroom that has never been redone is now around fifty years into its grout. Grout that has cracked or crumbled lets water reach the wall behind the tile. If the tiles are still tight and the wall is solid, regrouting and fresh caulk keep water out; loose tiles mean it is already inside.
Tiling is finish work that Mountain View does not require a permit for, though plumbing changes are another matter and go through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc. Send a close photo of the grout lines and any loose tile. Swapping a single broken tile works when a match turns up, and spare tiles left from the original install are the best case.

Professional, quick and clean work recaulking our tub and kitchen sink! They also replaced a lightbulb and consulted on another project. Will use them in the future. Thank you, Junior!
J&J and Junior and crew provides great Handyman services and support especially for seniors that need a little excellent home maintenance for a reasonable price. Junior and crew repaired and caulked my upstairs shower pan to its shower wall and helped mme clean up my roof deck by cleaning up leafe debris. They were prompt and knowledgeable and honest about their estimates to complete the maintenance. Highly recommended for repair and fixing those tough maintenance jobs you don’t have the time or expertise to finish.
