Emergency Bathroom Rescue in Aurora, CO How Rocky Ridge Handyman Came Through When a Contractor Canceled Twice

When it comes to home repairs, timing is everything. At Rocky Ridge Handyman, we take pride in showing up, stepping up, and finishing up. And that’s exactly what we did at 3257 South Olathe Way in Aurora, Colorado.

The Situation: A Job That Couldn’t Wait

The homeowner had a serious problem. A rotted section of wood beneath their shower had compromised part of the structure. To make matters worse, the drywall surrounding the base had suffered water damage, and a few tiles at the base of the shower were broken or falling off.

The urgency was clear. The homeowner had already scheduled with another contractor — twice — but that company canceled both appointments within two weeks. Understandably frustrated and worried, they reached out to us for help. And we got to work right away.

Step 1: Assessing the Damage

The moment we arrived, we could see the problem: damp drywall, exposed insulation, cracked tiles, and the telltale signs of wood rot near the base of the wall and floor. The integrity of the wall had already started to decline. There was no time to waste.

Step 2: Demo & Rot Removal

We carefully removed the surrounding drywall to expose the studs and insulation. That allowed us to get a clear look at the rotted wood in the framing. Mold was minimal, but the wood's structural integrity had been compromised. We removed the damaged section of wood framing and prepped the area for a clean install.

Step 3: Installing New Framing & Drywall

Next, we replaced the rotted 2x4 framing with fresh pressure-treated lumber to ensure durability against any future moisture exposure. We then installed new drywall and prepared the area for tile adhesion.

Step 4: Replacing Broken Tiles

We matched the existing tile and cut the replacement pieces to fit seamlessly. With tile spacers and leveling clips in place, we used premium-grade mortar to ensure solid adhesion.

 

Step 5: A Clean, Seamless Finish

Once everything was set, we applied waterproof grout and caulking to seal the seams. The transition from old to new is now invisible. The shower looks fully restored, and the client couldn’t be happier.
