Most bathroom remodels stall out because homeowners don't know who handles what. Does the plumber coordinate with the tile guy? Who manages the demo? That back-and-forth is exhausting. We handle the whole job - one crew, start to finish, no handoff headaches.

Here's what we were working with from the start: walls stripped down to the studs, old plumbing exposed, and a shower pan that needed a full redo. That's where the real work happens. Before a single tile goes up, we rough in new copper supply lines and get the valve and showerhead positioned exactly where they need to be. Skipping that step - or rushing it - is what causes leaks behind walls years later.

From there, we installed cement board across all the walls to give everything a solid, moisture-resistant base. That's a step a lot of guys skip or cheap out on, and it shows eventually. Once the substrate was right, we set large-format marble-look tile throughout - floor, walls, all the way up. The built-in niche and corner shelves were framed in and tiled to match, so nothing looks like an afterthought.

The finished product is clean and functional. Sliding glass doors with a chrome frame, a polished chrome shower valve and fixture, matching grab bar, and a tiled shower pan with a center drain. Every detail ties together. That's what separates a bathroom upgrade done right from one that just looks okay in photos but starts showing problems six months later.

We do this kind of work because it matters. A shower gets used every single day. It should be built to hold up - not just look good on day one. If your bathroom is overdue for an update, this is the kind of work we do.
