We take projects that need a contractor: remodels, commercial build-outs, new construction and major repairs.

Thanks, we received your request and will be in touch.

The Approach

How we run it.

What sets the plan, the estimate and the schedule for this kind of project.

Waterproofing is the job

The finish is what you see, but the membrane, slope and drain behind it decide how the bathroom holds up. We scope and inspect it as its own step.

Unknowns stated up front

Old tile can hide worn subfloor, outdated supply lines or poor venting. We call out what we are assuming and how conditions found during demolition are handled.

Planned around the household

In a home with one bathroom, sequencing and access matter. We talk through it before demolition, not after.

The Scope

What a full bathroom remodel involves.

A bathroom is a small room with a long list of trades: demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, glass, ventilation and finish carpentry, all in a few square feet and in a strict order. A shortcut under the tile does not show until it fails.

We price the full scope in writing, state what we assume about the existing plumbing and subfloor, and run the work through permits, inspections and closeout.

Demolition down to the framing and subfloor
Repair of framing and subfloor where needed
Plumbing relocation and new supply and drain lines
Shower and tub waterproofing
Tile, stone and glass
Exhaust ventilation to the exterior
Lighting, outlets and heating
Vanity, fixtures and finishes

In San Francisco

Bathroom permits in San Francisco.

Adding a bathroom, relocating fixtures or changing walls generally needs a permit. Replacing a fixture in place often does not. We confirm the path for your scope at the site visit.

In San Francisco flats and older houses, bathrooms often share walls and plumbing stacks with other units or floors, and the original drain lines can be cast iron or clay. Work in multi-unit buildings also involves neighbors, building rules and coordinated water shut-offs.

Common Questions

Bathroom Remodels FAQ.

Anything else, ask in the form at the top of the page.

Do you take single bathroom remodels?

Yes, when it is a full-scope remodel: demolition to the framing, plumbing changes, waterproofing and finishes.

Can we use the home while the bathroom is out of service?

Often, if there is a second bathroom. In a one-bath home the plan needs more thought. We discuss the sequence and alternatives before work starts.

What might be found when the old tile comes out?

Water damage to the subfloor, outdated plumbing or poor ventilation are the common ones. Our estimate states what is assumed and how conditions found during demolition are handled.

Can you add a bathroom?

Often yes, if the layout, plumbing routes and structure allow it. It generally needs a permit, and we review feasibility at the site visit.
