One small, busy room
Bathroom Remodeling in Loganville
A new shower, tile and vanity for the bath that bothers you most, built behind a sealed doorway while the hall and bedrooms next to it stay clean.
(000) 000-0000 — talk tile, glass and vanity optionsTear-Out Without the Tracked Dust
Breaking out old tile throws more dust than almost any other remodeling task, and most bathrooms open onto a hall or bedroom. So the doorway is sealed, the floor out to the hall is covered and the room is cleaned out at the end of each day.
After demolition comes the work nobody sees again: a waterproof layer behind the shower walls, rerouted drains and supply lines, a fan ducted to the outside. If the old floor hides a leak or soft subfloor, you get the repair in writing, with its price, before anyone touches it.
Inside the Bath Remodel
-
The shower or tub
Whether you're keeping a tub, trading it for a shower or enlarging an existing shower, the new walls sit over a waterproof layer that protects the studs behind them.
-
Tile that stays put
Tile goes over a flat, rigid base, so grout lines run straight and tiles don't crack or loosen. Shower niches and benches are planned before the walls close.
-
Vanity, toilet and lighting
The vanity and top, faucet, toilet, mirror and light fixtures, with the supply, drain and wiring changes needed to put each where you want it.
-
Ventilation that works
A fan sized to the room and ducted outdoors, so steam leaves the house instead of settling into fresh paint and caulk.
Three Things to Decide Early
-
Is this the only full bath?
Then we plan the order of work so a toilet keeps working for as many days as possible, and the schedule marks ahead of time when you'll be bathing elsewhere.
-
Same spots or new ones
Fixtures that stay where they are keep the price down. Relocating the toilet or shower means cutting into the floor for new drain lines, and the estimate spells that out.
-
Order the slow items first
Custom shower glass, special tile and certain vanities can take weeks. Picking them before demolition means the bathroom isn't stripped bare and waiting on a truck.
Bathroom Remodel Questions
How long will we be without this bathroom?
Plan on a few weeks once tile, fixtures and the vanity have arrived. Relocated drains, made-to-measure glass and special-order tile can stretch that, and your written schedule shows the out-of-service days ahead of time.
Is it worth swapping the tub for a shower?
If nobody uses the tub, often yes. The drain usually has to move or get larger, and fresh waterproofing goes on the shower floor and walls. Both show up as separate items on your estimate, so you can weigh the cost.
