Why this renovation matters

A bathroom works hard every day, so the right sequence is everything. Our team follows a proven order of operations to protect against moisture, streamline installation, and deliver a clean, professional finish that lasts.

Pre‑Renovation Assessment

We start by reviewing the existing layout and recording measurements, venting, and drain locations. This helps confirm fixture placements, tile square footage, and any framing corrections needed. It also helps set a realistic budget and timeline.

Careful Demolition and Clean‑Out

Old finishes are removed down to the sound framing. We cap water lines, protect adjacent spaces, and dispose of debris responsibly. Clean demolition reveals the true condition of studs, subfloor, and insulation so we can fix issues instead of covering them up.

Framing Touch‑Ups and Blocking

We straighten studs for flat tile walls and add solid blocking where accessories and glass hardware will mount. Proper backing prevents wobbly hardware later and makes niches and vanities feel rock‑solid.

Plumbing and Electrical Rough‑Ins

Supply lines, drain lines, and shut‑offs are positioned for the vanity, toilet, and shower. Electrical is routed for lighting, fan, and GFCI protection. We pressure‑test and function‑check everything before closing walls.

Waterproofing the Wet Zone

Moisture management is non‑negotiable. We install cement board or tile backer, seal seams, corners, and fasteners, and apply a continuous waterproofing membrane. This creates a monolithic water barrier behind the tile so splashes and steam do not reach the framing.

Shower Base / Floor Prep

We set the shower base or form the slope, then level and stiffen the main floor as needed. Flat, solid substrates make tile layout crisp and grout joints uniform. This is where long‑term durability is built in.

Wall Tile Setting and Niche Detailing

Tiles are set with tight, consistent joints. Corners stay straight, the niche is waterproofed and aligned to full or half‑tile heights, and edge trims create clean terminations. We constantly check lines with a laser for plumb and level results.

Floor Tile and Grout

With walls set, the floor goes in on a flat, prepared surface. We keep grout joints consistent and choose a grout suited to bathrooms for stain resistance and easy maintenance. Movement joints are added where needed to prevent cracking.

Vanity, Countertop, and Fixtures

We install the vanity square to the wall and floor, set the top, hook up the sink, and mount the faucet and drain. The mirror, lighting, and accessories get anchored into blocking for a sturdy, long‑lasting feel.

Toilet, Silicone, and Final Seals

We set the toilet with a new wax ring or seal and then apply sanitary‑grade silicone at change‑of‑plane joints. Proper sealing gives you a watertight, easy‑to‑clean finish and helps prevent moisture from creeping where it should not.

Interior Painting and Caulking

Walls and ceilings are repaired, primed, and painted with a bathroom‑appropriate finish. Clean caulk lines around trims and casings complete the look. This step ties the whole room together for a bright, fresh result.

Finished Reveal and Quality Check

We run a full punch list: door clearances, fan operation, hot/cold orientation, fixture alignment, and cleanup. The result is a modern, low‑maintenance bathroom that feels spacious and durable.

Materials and Installation Highlights

  • Waterproofing: Shower and splash zones receive a continuous waterproof membrane with sealed seams and fasteners

Care and Maintenance Tips
