Full bathroom remodels, one of our jobs
01 · 13 services

Full bathroom remodels

Everything out and everything back: layout, waterproofing, tile, fixtures and light. One crew and one coordinated scope, from the first demolition bag to the last bead of silicone.

Showers and enclosures, one of our jobs
02 · 14 services

Showers and enclosures

The wet part of the room, and the part that fails first when it is built quickly. Every shower we build is waterproofed as an assembly rather than as a layer of grout, and it is tiled to a layout drawn before the first cut.

Tubs and surrounds, one of our jobs
03 · 11 services

Tubs and surrounds

Alcove tubs, freestanding tubs and the tiled walls around them. Most tub jobs are decided by what the floor will carry and what the alcove will take, so both are measured before anything is ordered.

Tile, stone and floors, one of our jobs
04 · 13 services

Tile, stone and floors

Tile is the part of the room people run a hand along, and the part that shows every shortcut. The layout is drawn first, the cuts land where they are least seen, and the floor is flattened before anything is set on it.

Vanities, sinks and storage, one of our jobs
05 · 12 services

Vanities, sinks and storage

The half of the room you use standing up. Storage sized to what you own, a top that survives a hot straightener, and a mirror lit for a face rather than for the top of a head.

Fixtures and hardware, one of our jobs
06 · 11 services

Fixtures and hardware

Everything you touch every day. Faucets, controls and hardware should feel solid, suit the room and be chosen before rough-in locks in the options.

Lighting, fans and power, one of our jobs
07 · 11 services

Lighting, fans and power

The part of the room that decides whether a good tile job looks good. Light at the face, air that leaves the building, and circuits that meet code in a wet room. Electrical work is carried out by a licensed electrical contractor on our schedule.

Waterproofing and rot repair, one of our jobs
08 · 11 services

Waterproofing and rot repair

The part the finished room hides, and the part that protects everything below it. We waterproof the wet area as one assembly and test it before tile.

Plumbing and rough-in, one of our jobs
09 · 10 services

Plumbing and rough-in

Moving water is what decides a bathroom layout. Plumbing is carried out by a licensed plumbing contractor working to our schedule, so the trades follow each other instead of waiting on each other.

Accessible and aging in place, one of our jobs
10 · 10 services

Accessible and aging in place

A bathroom you can keep using. Most of the work is invisible when it is done well: blocking inside the walls, a floor without a step, and heights set for the person who actually lives there.

Powder rooms and small baths, one of our jobs
11 · 9 services

Powder rooms and small baths

Small rooms reward careful choices. Better storage, a smarter door swing and one well-chosen finish can make every inch work harder without moving the plumbing.

Finishing, repairs and refreshes, one of our jobs
12 · 12 services

Finishing, repairs and refreshes

The last five percent, and the reason a bathroom looks finished rather than nearly finished. It is also most of what a room needs when the layout and the plumbing are already fine.

Who we work for

01

Homeowners

One bathroom or all three. A vanity swap or a room taken back to the studs. Small jobs are welcome, and every estimate is free and written down.

02

Condo owners and boards

Association approval, certificates of insurance, elevator windows, quiet hours and the neighbor below your wet wall. We plan for the requirements that come with condo work.

03

Landlords and two-flats

Rental bathrooms need durable surfaces and a clearly coordinated schedule. We help you choose finishes that stand up to daily use and keep the work moving in the right order.

04

Designers and architects

We build to your drawings, flag the detail that will not work before it is ordered, and tell you what the wall behind it will actually take.
