Bathrooms That Are Built To Get Wet
A bathroom is a small room that punishes shortcuts. Water finds every seam you rushed, and it takes about two years to show you where they were. We build them so that does not happen, then we finish them so they look like it was easy.
What It Covers
- Shower and tub surrounds: waterproofing, slope, and a pan that drains where it is supposed to
- Wall and floor tile, including niches, curbs and the trim pieces at every exposed edge
- Vanity build or install, scribed to the wall so there is no gap behind the backsplash
- Blocking behind drywall for grab bars, floating vanities and heavy mirrors — done before the board goes on
- Door, casing, baseboard and shoe in materials that survive a steamy room
- Powder room refreshes where the layout stays and everything you can see changes
What Goes Wrong Is Always Behind The Tile
Nearly every failed bathroom we get called into failed in the same place: the waterproofing behind a shower that somebody treated as optional. Tile is not a water barrier. The membrane, the seams at the corners, the way the pan ties into the wall — that is the barrier, and it is invisible the moment the tile goes up.
Which is why the least interesting days of a bathroom job are the ones worth paying for. Flat, plumb walls, proper substrate, slope to the drain checked with water before a single tile is set. Get that right and the tile stays put for twenty years. Get it wrong and the prettiest tile in Atlanta comes off in three.
What It Costs
A single bathroom most often falls in the $2,000–$3,500 range; a full gut with new tile, vanity and fixtures goes higher, and jobs across the business run from $875 up to $18,750. Scope decides it — tile size, whether the layout moves, and what is found once the old surround comes off. Deposit is 25%. Walkthrough and estimate are free.

Questions
How long will I be without the bathroom?
A single bathroom typically runs one to two weeks depending on tile and how much comes out. Tile and grout need their cure time and there is no honest way to rush it. If it is your only bathroom, say so at the walkthrough and we will sequence the work to shorten the days it is fully out of service.
Can you keep the layout and still make it feel new?
Yes, and it is usually the best value in the house. Leaving the plumbing where it is takes the most expensive variable off the table, and new tile, a proper vanity, fresh trim and a clean shower do most of the visual work anyway.
Do you find surprises once the walls are open?
Sometimes — soft subfloor under a toilet or rot behind an old surround is the usual one. When it happens you get told what it is, what it costs to fix, and a decision to make before anyone carries on. Nothing gets added to your bill that you have not agreed to.
