Bathroom remodeling
Bathroom remodeling in Loudoun County
The bathroom is the smallest room in the house and the one with the most trades in it. We run all of them: demolition, licensed plumbers and electricians, waterproofing, tile, glass, vanity and paint, with one person responsible for the lot.

What is included
What a bathroom remodel includes
What you see in a bathroom is tile and glass. What decides whether it lasts is what you do not see: the slope of the shower floor, the waterproofing behind the tile and the fan that takes the steam out.
Demolition and protection
The old room out to the studs where it needs it, with floors and stairs on the way out covered.
Plumbing and electrical
New valves, drains, a quiet fan ducted outside, lighting and protected outlets, done by licensed trade contractors.
Waterproofing
A continuous waterproof layer behind the shower tile, checked before the tile goes on.
Tile
Floors, shower walls to the ceiling and a niche at hand height, laid out so the cuts land where you do not look.
Vanity, top and glass
Set level, plumbed and sealed. Glass measured after the tile is finished so it fits.
Paint and trim
Moisture-tolerant paint, new casing and base, and the accessories hung where you want them.

Your price
How a bathroom is priced
A bathroom is a small room with every trade in it, so the price turns on what stays and what moves. A refresh keeps the tub or shower. A full remodel goes back to the studs. Our builder sees the room first, the visit is free, and a written, itemized price follows within 48 hours.
Most common
Full remodel
Out to the studs and rebuilt in the same layout.
- Tile shower or new tub, waterproofed
- Tile floor, vanity and top
- Fan, lighting and glass
A new layout
Primary bath rework
The corner tub comes out, the shower grows and the vanity becomes two.
- Fixtures and drains relocated
- Large walk-in shower with bench and niche
- Double vanity and new lighting plan
What moves the price
- Tile. How much of it, how large and how intricate the pattern.
- Moving drains. A toilet or shower drain runs through the floor framing, so moving one means opening the floor or the ceiling below.
- Glass. A frameless enclosure is made to measure and priced by size.
- What is behind the wall. A slow leak around an old tub is common. We price the repair in writing before doing it.
The visit is free. Your price is written and itemized after it, and any change after that is priced and signed before the work happens.

Bathrooms in Loudoun homes
Primary bathrooms from the late 1990s and 2000s tend to share a plan: a large corner tub that rarely gets used and a small fiberglass shower that gets used every day.
- Trading the tub for a shower. Taking out the corner tub and building a walk-in shower in its place is one of the most useful changes you can make to a bath of that era.
- Permits depend on the work. Moving drains or adding circuits needs plumbing and electrical permits. We work out what applies before the price is written and file what is required.
- Keep one bathroom working. We do one bathroom at a time so the house is never without one.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Two to four weeks on site is typical for one bathroom. Tile and its waterproofing cannot be rushed, and the glass is measured only after the tile is done.
Can we use the bathroom during the work?
No. Plan on that bathroom being out of service from demolition to the last day. We do one at a time so there is always another.
Why is moving a toilet or a shower so expensive?
Because the drain is in the floor. Moving it means opening the floor framing, or the ceiling of the room below, and running new pipe with the right slope.
Can you turn my tub into a shower?
Yes. It is one of the most common requests. The drain is resized, the floor sloped and the whole enclosure waterproofed before tile.
Do you handle the permits?
Yes. We work out what the job needs, file it and meet the inspectors.
Who does the electrical and plumbing?
Licensed electricians, plumbers and heating and cooling contractors, working under our contract. We schedule them, supervise them and answer for the finished job.
Will the price change once work starts?
Not unless the plan does. If you want something added, or we open a wall and find something nobody could have seen, the change is priced and signed before that work happens. No surprise charges at the end.
How do payments work?
The payment schedule is written into the contract and tied to progress on the job. The final payment is due after we have walked the finished work together and closed the punch list.
