What does a bathroom remodel cost?
It depends far more on scope than on square footage. A powder room refresh and a master bath taken to the studs with a custom tiled shower are different projects with different numbers. Cost is driven by the size of the shower, the tile (material and how hard it is to set), the vanity and countertop, whether plumbing moves, and whether you're adding glass.
That's why we give you a budget range at step two — after we've seen the room and before you've spent anything.
How long will I be without the bathroom?
For the duration of construction — a bathroom can't be used in stages. Timing depends on scope, permit and inspection scheduling, material lead times and, on tiled showers, curing time that can't be rushed. Shower glass is measured on finished tile, so it arrives near the end.
If it's your only bathroom, tell us at the consultation. We'll sequence the work and stage the material deliveries to keep the out-of-service window as short as it can honestly be.
Should I convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
If nobody in the house takes baths and the tub is only ever used as a shower, converting it is usually the best money you'll spend on that room. The one thing to weigh: buyers generally want at least one bathtub somewhere in the house. If this is your only tub and you may sell, we'll talk that through before you commit.
Can you make my bathroom accessible without it looking institutional?
Yes — that's most of what accessible bathroom design is now. Curbless showers read as high-end. Grab bars come in the same finishes as the rest of your fixtures, and some double as towel bars or shower shelves. Even if you don't want bars today, we can install solid blocking in the walls during framing so they can be added later without opening tile.
Do I need a permit?
If we're moving plumbing, altering electrical or changing anything structural, yes. We handle the permit applications and schedule the inspections as part of the job — including the rough-in inspection that happens before anything gets covered up.
Why does waterproofing come up so much?
Because it's the difference between a shower that lasts and one that fails, and it's completely invisible once the tile is on. Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own — the assembly behind them is what keeps water out of your framing. We build shower pans, curbs, corners and niches as a complete system and test them before tile goes on.
It's also the corner that's easiest for a low bid to cut, because you can't see it and it won't show up for years.
Who picks the tile and fixtures?
You do — with help. You'll be paired with a professional designer for selections so the tile, vanity, counter, fixtures, glass and lighting read as one room. Bring inspiration photos; they're the fastest way to show us what you actually want.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer financing options to help bring your project to life — ask about them during your free consultation and we'll help you find the right fit.
