A bathroom is a small room that has to keep water where it belongs. We build it from the studs out.
Bathrooms fail behind the tile. A shower that looks perfect on day one can be soaking the wall behind it a year later if what is under the tile was not built properly, and by the time you see it the repair is the whole room again.
We build bathrooms the way we build concrete: the parts you never see again get the most attention. One team takes the room down, fixes what is behind it, and builds it back with one project lead running the job.
Some bathrooms need a new vanity, toilet and fixtures. Some need everything out to the studs: the tub, the tile, the subfloor and whatever the old shower has been doing to the wall. We tell you which one at the site visit, honestly.
In a shower, the tile is the finish, not the waterproofing. The waterproof layer behind it is what keeps the water out of the wall, so that is where we spend the time. The plumbing is roughed in by licensed trades and the work is inspected before it is covered, and where the job needs a permit we build it into the plan.
If it is your only bathroom, we plan the order of work so you are without it for as little time as possible, and you get that timeline in writing before we start.
A number off a website is a guess, and guesses turn into surprises on the invoice. Every job is priced to what is actually in front of us. These are the things that move it:
The site visit is free. The quote comes back itemized, with the HST and the total including HST shown, inside 48 hours. What you sign is what you pay.
Usually, yes. It changes the drain and the waterproofing, which is exactly the part we spend the most time on.
It depends on how much changes and what we find behind the old finishes. You get a schedule before we start, planned around how many bathrooms the house has.
Yes. In a basement the drains go into the concrete floor first, which is work our own crew does before the room is built.
