How a bathroom remodel runs
What happens behind the tile matters most.
- 1
Measure and check
We measure the room and look for water damage, soft floors, and hidden problems before planning. Finding rot early is cheaper than finding it after the tile is down.
- 2
Plan in writing
Layout, fixtures, tile, and schedule are agreed on paper. Long-lead items like vanities and glass are ordered early.
- 3
Demolish and repair
Old fixtures and tile come out, and framing and subfloor are repaired as needed. Plumbing is moved or updated while the walls are open.
- 4
Waterproof
Shower walls and floors get a continuous membrane and a slope to the drain. The waterproofing is tested before any tile goes on.
- 5
Tile, set, and finish
Tile, vanity, fixtures, and trim go in, and we go through the room with you. Caulk and grout are the last details, not the first line of defense.
