About King William
King William and Lavaca sit just south of downtown along the San Antonio River, with some of the oldest houses in the city. 54% of homes in ZIP 78204 were built before 1960, yet 26% went up in 2010 or later, mostly infill and townhomes near the river (Census ACS). Those are two very different bathrooms: a 1900s house with a clawfoot tub and plaster walls, and a new build with a fiberglass shower. In an old house, the remodeler should check for lead paint before demolition and price any floor framing repair separately. The ZIP logged 393 residential repair permits since 2021.

Bathrooms in King William
This is one of the older parts of the metro: 54% of homes were built before 1960 and 63% before 1980. A bathroom that old can hide a cast iron drain, galvanized supply pipe and tile set in a thick mortar bed, and every one of those changes the price once the wall is open. Ask the remodeler to price what they find behind the tile as a line item.

Questions
Do you cover all of King William?
Yes, including ZIP 78204. The remodeler who calls you back will confirm your address is in their service area.
Is the estimate visit free?
Many remodelers measure and price a bathroom at no charge, but practices differ. Ask the pro when you book, and ask for the price itemized in writing either way.
Will my remodel need a permit?
Usually yes when plumbing or wiring changes. The city's No Permit Required list includes cabinets and countertops. Flooring and tiling are on it too, as are painting and drywall repair. Moving a fixture or adding a circuit needs a permit pulled by a licensed trade.
