Once the design for your bathroom remodeling is finalized, we pull necessary permits from the local department of building and safety so your renovation is authorized. Later, inspectors will verify that the work we do meets the necessary standards and all building code requirements. Out with the old before we can bring in the new for your bathroom remodeling! Demolition involves removing old bathroom fixtures to prepare for remodeling. Old showers, bathtubs, vanities, etcetera are eradicated to make way for your new implements. Flooring is also removed at this point to provide a blank slate from the ground up.

At this stage of the bathroom remodel, we run pipes for supplying and draining water through holes in the framework and connect these pipes. Fixtures such as sinks and shower heads will be installed later. With new lighting, ventilation, and other necessities in your bathroom makeover plan, we do some electrical reconfiguration to coincide with your plans. Each new outlet, light fixture, or otherwise will be addressed as we install the rough electrical aspects.

Once the rough plumbing and electrical work have passed inspection, our remodeling team tend to the insulation in the walls. Keep in mind that proper insulation is important for maintaining a comfortable space that is as efficient as possible.

• Drywall Patching and Repair. Preparing the space for painting is a huge component in almost all bathroom remodels. Drywall work may include patching damaged points, adding moisture-protecting solutions to deter water, and planing the drywall to prep for painting.
• Hot Mop the Shower Pan. Hot mopping with tar creates a waterproof barrier between the shower floor and the subfloor in your bathroom remodel. We will apply several layers of hot tar to the shower pan to ensure you get a water-resilient platform for your shower.
• Lath and Chicken Wire in Preparation for Cement. Felt paper and wire mesh are used to add structural support for areas where tile will eventually go. As an adage, this extra step ensures you have a water-resilient space.
• Cement in Preparation for Tile Installation. “Hardie Backers,” or floating cement will be loaded onto the surfaces where tile will eventually be installed, whether that is the floors or walls. The cement must go through a curing process before we will be ready for tile installation.
• Tile Installation on the Walls and Floor. From the walls to the floor and shower pan, we finish all tile work before proceeding to the next phase of the project. The tiling process can also include grout and caulking installation to give a completed finish.

Your project is now ready for all those final finishes to make the look complete. We handle any priming and painting on walls and trim, and make the necessary adjustments as we close in n the end of the renovation.

The sink, vanity, toilet, bathtub, and other implements that make the space complete must be hooked up when the paint has dried. At last, we turn on the lights and see the completed bathroom in all of its glory, running the fan and seeing water pouring from faucets.

When all the work is done, the building inspector does a final inspection, verifying that all the bathroom remodeling work is safe, functional, and up to the local building standards. No two renovation projects are identical, but in our experience, the general duration for a standard remodel project is between 4-6 weeks. Contact us to discuss the specifics of your project, and we can provide a general timeline.
