Bathrooms
A bathroom done in a few weeks.
Floor, tile, shower, tub, vanity and lighting, with a day-by-day schedule and photos every afternoon.
A guest bath can be done in a week or two if materials are on hand. A primary bath with new floor and shower usually takes two to four. We tell you from the start which days there will be no water.
What's included
Demolition and haul-away
Waterproofing before the tile
Floor and wall tile with grout
Vanity, faucets, shower and accessories
Ventilation, lighting and paint

What changes the cost
Four things move the number.
The number for your home goes in the written estimate, after the visit.
Size and layout
A guest bath and a primary bath aren't comparable. Moving the toilet or the shower costs more than changing the finish.
Tile
The tile size, the pattern and the number of cuts change the hours of labor more than the tile's price.
Shower and glass
A shower with custom glass needs fabrication time and exact measurements late in the job.
What's underneath
Floors with moisture or damaged wood under the tub show up only once we open them. You get the cost in writing before we continue.

Step 5: Finishes and handover
Vanity, fixtures, glass, paint and the handover walkthrough.
Permits
Permits and rules.
Changing finishes doesn't need a permit. Moving pipes, adding a circuit or opening a wall does. If your home was built before 1978, the EPA lead steps apply too. We check and file it.
Questions
What people ask about this.
How long does a bathroom take?
A guest bath, one to two weeks on site; a primary bath, two to four. You get a day-by-day schedule before we start.
Will there be water in the house during the job?
Yes, except for a few days we tell you about beforehand. If it's your only bathroom, we work out together how to manage.
Do you install glass enclosures?
Yes. It's measured once the tile is up and made to size; that adds a few weeks and is on the schedule.
