With thoughtful planning and expert craftsmanship, we turn your bathroom remodel ideas into reality. If you are currently working with an architect or designer on your bathroom remodel, we would be happy to provide an estimate for you.
Initial Consultation
The first step in your bath remodel is an in-depth consultation to understand your vision. Do you need more storage or maybe a little more breathing room? Are you thinking of installing a walk-in shower with a sleek glass door? Perhaps you want to to add a window a windowless bathroom, along with new lighting or create a serene retreat with a modern double vanity with marble countertops and a luxurious tub. Our team will explore your bathroom layout and offer creative bathroom remodel ideas to maximize space and functionality. Whether your project involves a small bathroom or a large primary bath, we tailor our approach to fit your lifestyle and preferences.
Estimating Process
fter our consultation and walkthrough of your space, we’ll draft a detailed estimate for your bath remodel. Our estimates focus on the entire scope of work rather than just a per square foot calculation. Every project is unique, and this method ensures that you receive a transparent and accurate budget that reflects the specific details of your bathroom remodel. Homeowners find that this approach helps save on costs while ensuring a realistic budget for their remodeling style.
Design and Planning
Once the estimate is approved, we move into the design phase. Whether you want a modern aesthetic inspired by a photo from Architectural Digest, or prefer something classic and timeless, our design team will help you choose materials and finishes that align with your vision.
If you're updating a primary bathroom, we might suggest a luxurious double vanity, spacious walk-in shower, and custom storage solutions to give the room an airy, relaxing feel. For a powder room or small bathrooms, we focus on optimizing space, adding extra storage through clever vanity designs and open shelving. Natural light is a key factor in any bathroom, and we explore ways to introduce it through windows or enhanced lighting if the bathroom is windowless. Floor and wall tiling along with fresh grout are key features to helping bath remodels really stand out.
If your house and rooms have some extra space around them, a wall may be moved in the bathroom to provide for a more airy location. Adding more space to the floor plan allows us to create your your dream bathroom while including all of your ideas.
Whether it's installing a new tub and updating fixtures for the shower or choosing a neutral color scheme for the walls and tile flooring, we ensure your bathroom has a cohesive and stylish design. We also help select materials for countertops, tile, and fixtures, such as elegant shower heads, tubs, and sinks that complement your bathroom’s overall look.
Permits and Approvals
Depending on the complexity of your bath remodel, you may need permits, especially if plumbing or electrical changes are required. Our team manages this process, ensuring compliance with local building codes and regulations. This step ensures that your new bathroom is safe, functional, and up to code.
Site Preparation
Before starting the bathroom remodel, we prepare the space by protecting your home from dust and debris. Whether we’re updating a small bathroom or a spacious primary bath, we take care to minimize disruption to your family and daily routine. Site preparation is crucial to ensuring a smooth and efficient remodeling process.
Construction Process
Once everything is in place, we begin the construction phase. If you're looking to replace your bathtub with a walk-in shower or install a new double vanity, our team executes the plan with precision. For windowless bathrooms, we may install recessed lighting or strategically place mirrors to enhance the sense of space and brightness. Of course if it fits within the budget and local code, nothing beats a new window in the right location to bring in natural light.
We also focus on adding extra storage to keep the room organized and clutter-free, installing custom vanities or recessed shelving for toiletries, towels, and other essentials. If you're updating the flooring, we’ll help you choose from durable and stylish options such as tile, wood-look flooring, or stone. The walls and ceiling will also be painted or tiled based on your design preferences.
Installing modern fixtures, like a shower head with multiple settings, a modern curb less shower, or a floating vanity, ensures your bathroom not only looks beautiful but also functions perfectly for your daily needs.
Finishing Touches
The finishing touches bring the entire bathroom remodel together. We’ll install the fixtures you’ve selected, whether it’s a minimalist sink with wall mounted faucets, an eye-catching mirror, or a new toilet. Adding custom cabinet hardware, stylish lighting fixtures, chic shower curtains and shower tile ideas ensure your new bathroom has both the style and functionality you’ve envisioned.
​
Details like re-grouting tile, applying a fresh coat of paint, and installing new cabinet hardware make the space feel brand new. We focus on these last elements to ensure your bathroom has the polished, complete look you desire.
Final Walkthrough and Handover
Once the remodel is complete, we perform a thorough final walkthrough to make sure everything is to your satisfaction. Whether we’ve updated the entire surface of your bathroom or simply replaced key elements like the tub or shower, vanity, and flooring, we ensure that every part of the project has been done with care and attention to detail. We will also review the new fixtures and features with you to make sure you're happy with the final look.
