Bathrooms in Kemp, TX

A bathroom remodel is mostly plumbing, waterproofing and sequencing, and only at the end is it tile. The decisions that determine whether the room lasts fifteen years or leaks in three all happen before anything attractive goes on the wall. Our own crew does the work start to finish, so whoever sets your pan also sets your tile. Installed by our own crew across Kemp.

Built for Kemp homes.

Kemp sits at the bottom of Kaufman County where State Highway 175 crosses State Highway 274, on the north tip of Cedar Creek Lake. Its post office opened in 1851 and the town still runs to about eleven hundred people. Buyers come here for land, acreage and older rural houses off the FM roads, and for the gated water: Beacon Hill, Edgewater at Cedar Creek, and Cedar Creek Country Club, the lake's first golf course, open since 1967. Two very different flooring jobs, both run out of our Forney showroom.

Kemp is at the southern end of Kaufman County, at the intersection of Highway 175 and Highway 274, roughly forty-five miles from downtown Dallas. The post office opened in 1851. The town sits on the north tip of Cedar Creek Lake, 33,000 surface acres and more than 320 miles of shoreline, the fourth largest man-made lake in Texas, owned by the Tarrant Regional Water District and finished in 1965. Kemp City Park is where Mayfest and the Kemp Art Fest happen. Run south on 274 and you reach the Lone Star Marina ramp.

The housing splits two ways, and so does the flooring work. Out on the county roads it is acreage: older frame farmhouses, ranch houses and manufactured homes, plenty of them on pier and beam over a vented crawlspace. Those floors move for reasons that have nothing to do with the finish, joists that have taken thirty years of Texas humidity, decking that was never screwed down properly, a room addition framed half an inch off the original. We fix the deck before we open a box of flooring, because a floating plank floor telegraphs every soft spot underneath it.

The other Kemp is the water. Beacon Hill is a gated community of lakefront and lake-view homesites on the edge of town. Edgewater at Cedar Creek is gated too, 148 lots split between waterfront and water access off Edgewater Drive. Cedar Creek Country Club, built in 1967 for a retirement community and the first golf course on the lake, still anchors that side, with Emerald Estates, Cedar Knolls and Hawks Landing filling in around them. Lake houses are hard on floors. Wet feet come straight off the dock, sand grinds finishes down, and a lot of these places sit closed up midweek with the air conditioning turned back, so interior humidity swings far enough to gap or cup solid wood. That is why we push waterproof rigid core and tile in the entries, baths and lake-facing rooms, and why we acclimate anything wood on site instead of installing it off the truck.

We bring samples to you at the lake. Estimates are free, the crews are our own, and labor carries a one-year warranty.

Kemp FAQs

Bathrooms in Kemp, questions

What actually holds up in a Cedar Creek Lake house?

Waterproof rigid core plank and tile, in that order. A Kemp lake house takes wet feet off the dock, sand off the boat and dogs through the back door, and many sit closed up midweek while the humidity swings. Solid wood gaps and cups under that. We put waterproof product where the water comes in and save wood or engineered for interior rooms that stay conditioned year round.

Our place out on the county road is pier and beam. Can you still lay plank?

Yes, but the subfloor comes first. Older Kemp farmhouses and manufactured homes over a vented crawlspace usually need joists checked, loose decking screwed down and dips leveled before anything goes over the top. Skip that and a floating floor telegraphs every soft spot within a year. We put that prep in the written estimate rather than springing it on you the morning of the install.

Do you come out to Kemp for an estimate?

We do, at no charge, and we bring the samples with us. Kemp is a straight run south from our showroom at 10 Mustang Court in Forney. Seeing a floor next to your own cabinets, in the light coming off the lake, beats guessing from a photo. Once you approve the estimate we can usually start within about two days, and financing is available through Synchrony and Wisetack.

Can I move the shower or toilet to a different wall?

Sometimes, but it is a slab question before it is a design question. The drains are cast into concrete, so relocating one means cutting the slab. In the newer subdivisions around Forney, Fate and Rockwall those slabs are post-tensioned and the cables inside cannot be cut, which rules some moves out entirely. We look at what you have and tell you what is possible before you commit to a layout.

Do you actually flood test the shower pan?

Yes, on every shower. Once the pan and membrane are complete we plug the drain, fill the pan and leave it overnight. If the level has dropped by morning we find out why and fix it while everything is still open. It costs a day of the schedule and it is the only point in the job where a waterproofing mistake is cheap to correct.

Why does the grout in my shower corners keep cracking?

Because grout was used where sealant belongs. Every change of plane, meaning inside corners, the pan-to-wall joint and the top of the curb, moves slightly with temperature and load. Grout is rigid and cracks under that movement while a color-matched flexible sealant absorbs it. We detail those joints that way from the start, and it is a straightforward repair on an existing shower that is otherwise sound.
