Bathrooms for Milpitas's Valley-Floor Homes
Milpitas incorporated in 1954 and grew with the Ford plant in 1955 and the tech industry from the 1970s. Most of its homes sit on about 10 square miles of flat valley floor, and the City describes much of that area as fairly new. Bathroom projects here are usually about better layouts and finishes: larger showers, double vanities, new tile and lighting.
