Bathrooms

A bathroom, line by line

A hall bath, a primary bath or a powder room: the work is the same few lines each time, and so is the way we write them down.

Most of the cost is in the walls and the floor, not the vanity. The visit is where we look at both.

What a bathroom job includes

  • Demolition, waterproofing and tile, priced separately

  • Vanity, top, faucet and mirror, chosen at the visit

  • A fan that vents outside, and lighting you can shave by

  • A project lead on site every working day

The price

What moves the price of a bathroom

A small room, so every decision shows.

  • Tile

    Floor-to-ceiling tile in a shower costs more than a tub surround, and large tile costs more to set well.

  • Tub or shower

    Keeping the tub is the cheapest path. A walk-in shower adds a new pan, a drain and often glass.

  • Plumbing moves

    Moving the toilet or the drain means opening the floor.

  • The subfloor

    Soft spots under an old tub only show once it's out. We stop and price them in writing.

  • The vanity

    A stock vanity and a custom one can sit thousands apart.

  • Ventilation and light

    A fan vented outside and new lighting need wiring, and often a hole in a wall or roof.

The schedule

How a bathroom goes

Short rooms, long waits for the right tile and glass.

  1. 01
    After you sign

    Step 1: Order

    Tile, vanity and glass are ordered first. Glass is measured after the tile is up.

  2. 02
    Start

    Step 2: Demolition and rough-in

    Everything out to the studs. Plumbing and wiring moves happen next.

  3. 03
    Middle

    Step 3: Waterproof, tile and set

    Walls, then floors, then grout. Each coat needs time to cure.

  4. 04
    End

    Step 4: Fixtures and finish

    Vanity, toilet, faucets, glass, paint and a walkthrough.

Permits

Permits for a bathroom

Swapping fixtures and tile often needs none. Moving plumbing or wiring does. We check with your city or township at the visit and pull the permit when it's needed.

Questions

Bathroom questions

How long is the bathroom out of use?

Most bathrooms take a few weeks on site. If it's the only one in the house, we plan around that at the visit.

Can you add a bathroom?

We remodel the ones you have. Adding a new one means new plumbing runs and is priced as its own job.

Will the tile leak?

Tile isn't what keeps water out; the waterproofing behind it is. We show you each layer before it's covered.

Can I choose my own tile and fixtures?

Yes. Anything you buy yourself is off the work order, but we check that it will fit before you do.
