Kohler Construction in Garland, CA | Rowan Construction Group
We’re Rowan Construction Group, and we provide independent Kohler construction service across Garland and Kohler service in Plano. We are not a Kohler-authorized dealer or factory affiliate, which means we answer to you, not to a manufacturer’s program. The thing that changes how Kohler work goes in Garland is the ground itself: the city’s expansive black clay moves, slabs shift, and fixtures that were set level in 1965 are no longer level. We account for that before we set a tub, hang a vanity, or plumb a shower. Call (470) 298-9650 to talk through your project and get a written price.
Why Garland Residents Choose Us for Kohler Service
Since 2007, our crews have rebuilt and re-installed Kohler fixtures in hundreds of Garland’s 1950s through 1970s ranch homes. That matters because a Kohler Memoirs lavatory set into a wall that has settled three-quarters of an inch requires a different approach than the same fixture in a new build. Grant Rowan, our owner, trained in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending nearly two decades on residential remodels across Los Angeles County, and he applies the same discipline to every Garland job: measure the substrate first, then set the fixture. We specify genuine Kohler cartridges, trim, and gaskets for any valve or moving part, because aftermarket tolerance issues compound this city’s water-quality stress. For a full picture of what we handle, see our Kohler sales & service capabilities.
Garland homeowners also get a written price before any work starts, not a verbal ballpark. That’s Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, and it has kept more than 4,000 projects within a few percent of the agreed number. Every visit includes a documented photo record, so you see what we found under the tub deck or behind the tile when the crew leaves.
Common Kohler Construction Problems We Solve in Garland

- Cast-iron tub enamel chipping or dulling: Decades of hard-water scale removal on Garland’s municipal supply takes a toll on original 1960s colored fixtures. We see enamel worn thin at the drain end, where water sits longest. If the crack reaches the cast iron, we recommend replacement rather than rebuilding the surface.
- Widespread faucet cartridges weeping at the base: Clay-silt sediment infiltrates older supply lines during pressure fluctuations, and that mineral buildup causes Kohler Devonshire and Memoirs cartridges to weep. We replace with genuine Kohler cartridges and flush the supply stops before reinstalling the trim.
- Undermount sink clips loosening: Slab movement racks the cabinet and countertop, and the clips that hold a Kohler undermount sink let go. You see a visible gap and torn sealant at the rim. We re-secure the sink, reset the clips, and re-caulk with a sealant spec’d for movement joints.
- P-trap swivel joints seizing: On Kohler kitchen sinks in Garland’s pier-and-beam additions, the swivel joints seize from disuse or get over-tightened during remodel staging. We cut them out and replace with new Kohler-spec traps.
- Tub decks out of level: Central and south-side slab homes almost never have level subfloors under the tub deck. We dry-pack mortar or pour self-leveling underlayment before setting a new tub, which prevents the hollow-corner problem years later.

AfterKohler Service in Garland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Garland’s post-war boom left behind a dense, aging cohort of slab-on-grade tract homes now 50 to 70 years old, built directly on North Texas black clay. The soil shrinks during summer drought and heaves after spring rain, cycling foundations multiple inches a year. For a Kohler fixture, that means the surface it was mounted to is no longer the surface it was mounted on. A vanity that was level in 1968 may now sit a half-inch out across a 60-inch run. A tub apron that once sealed tight now gaps at the back wall. This is not a fixture problem; it’s a substrate problem, and it has to be solved before the fixture goes back in. In Garland’s south and central neighborhoods, contractors who pull permits for additions routinely document slab cracks and out-of-level floors before the inspector will sign off, similar challenges that Dallas Kohler service crews encounter across the metroplex. Our Kohler installs follow the same logic: we check the floor, the wall, and the drain rough-in before we set anything.

Kohler Models & Products We Service in Garland

Our crews work on the full Kohler residential line, with the most frequent local callouts for the models that dominate Garland’s mid-century and 1980s remodels: Memoirs pedestal and console lavatories, Devonshire widespread faucets and tub fillers, Archer drop-in and undermount tubs, and Tresham vanities and medicine cabinets. We specify genuine Kohler parts for valves and moving components because water in Garland is hard and sediment-heavy. For cosmetic trim like supply lines and escutcheons, we use OEM-spec equivalents during full rough-in replacements. Our parts suppliers stock common Kohler cartridges and trim locally, so most Garland service calls complete without a multi-day wait.

FAQs - Kohler Construction in Garland
The floor under that corner has dropped, and the tub’s setting bed has separated from the slab. Garland’s clay soil moves, and a 1960s slab that flexed an inch over two decades leaves a void under the tub. We fix it by pulling the tub, re-leveling the floor, and resetting the tub over a fresh dry-pack mortar bed. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll inspect it during a free estimate.
Some original colors are still available through Kohler’s current production runs, and some are discontinued. We can tell you which is which after we confirm the model, and we’ll source either a genuine replacement or a close-match alternative. No guesswork: we show you the options before we order.
Usually because sediment from Garland’s supply lines scored the new cartridge seats or because the trim screws were over-tightened against the valve body. We flush the stops, inspect the valve seats, and set the cartridge torque to Kohler’s spec. That stops the drip at the source rather than masking it with a rebuild kit that fails in a year.
For most homeowners, yes. A tub-to-shower conversion removes the step-over height that becomes a problem in older homes and opens up floor space in bathrooms built with narrow tub alcoves. We build the receptor on a leveled base, address any slab movement at the drain, and set Kohler Devonshire trim as standard, alongside our Driveway & Pavers in Garland services. Budget $3,500-$10,000. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll walk the space and give you a written number.
Sometimes. In Garland, slab movement racks the cabinet and pulls the undermount clips loose, which tears the sealant and opens a gap. We reset the sink, replace the clips, and re-caulk with a movement-tolerant sealant. If we also find the cabinet itself out of square, we’ll tell you before we do any cosmetic work because fixing the sink without addressing the racked cabinet just brings you back in two years.
