Bathroom remodeling contractor for full renovations and walk-in showers

A bathroom is small, but it has more ways to fail than any other room. Water has to stay inside the shower, moisture has to leave the room, and every fixture has to drain and vent correctly. We build the hidden parts carefully and then finish the room the way you want it.

How a bathroom remodeling project runs, from demo to walkthrough

1

Walkthrough

We look at the room, the fixture locations and the fan, and check for soft floors or signs of past leaks.
2

Design and selections

We set the layout and you choose tile, vanity, countertop, fixtures, glass and lighting. Shower glass is measured after tile, so we plan for it now and order it later.
3

Estimate and permits

You get a detailed estimate. Plumbing and electrical changes go through permits, which we coordinate.
4

Demolition

We protect the hallway and floors, then remove fixtures, tile and wallboard down to the framing and subfloor.
5

Framing and rough-ins

Subfloor repairs, blocking for grab bars and accessories, niche framing, then plumbing, electrical and fan rough-ins with their inspections.
6

Wallboard and waterproofing

Cement board or moisture-resistant board, then the waterproofing system and a flood test of the shower pan.
7

Tile

Floor and shower tile, grout and sealing where the material needs it.
8

Good to know

Bathroom remodeling in Minnesota: what to plan for

Ventilation and winter moisture

Cold winters make bathroom moisture worse. Steam that is not exhausted condenses on cold windows and exterior walls and can lead to mold. A fan vented to the outside, sized for the room, matters more here than in mild climates.

Fans that dump into the attic

In older homes we often find exhaust fans venting into the attic. In winter that warm, wet air frosts the roof sheathing and drips back down when it thaws. We reroute the duct to the exterior.

Pipes in exterior walls

Supply lines in an outside wall can freeze. When we open the wall we check the insulation, and we prefer to keep plumbing in interior walls where the layout allows.

Older homes

Bathrooms in older Twin Cities homes may have cast iron drains, galvanized supply lines or mortar-bed tile floors. These are heavy to remove and can change the plan once we open things up.

Living through it

If it is your only full bath, plan ahead for where you will shower during the project. We schedule the work to get the toilet back in service as early as the sequence allows.

Bathroom remodeling questions

Can you convert my tub into a walk-in shower?

Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most common bathroom projects we do. The drain usually has to move and the floor framing may need work for a low or curbless entry, so we check under the tub before we finalize the design.

What does shower waterproofing involve?

Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own. Behind the tile we install a waterproofing system on the walls, the pan and around the niches and bench, and we flood test the pan before tile goes on. This step decides whether the shower lasts.

Do I need a new exhaust fan?

Often, yes. Many older fans are undersized or vent into the attic, which causes moisture and frost problems in Minnesota winters. We coordinate a properly sized fan ducted to the outside.

Can you make a bathroom safer for someone with limited mobility?

Yes. Accessibility upgrades include curbless or low-threshold showers, built-in benches, grab bars with solid blocking behind them, comfort-height toilets and wider doors. We plan the layout around how the person uses the room.

Can you fix a bathroom damaged by a leak?

Yes. We do water-damage bathroom restoration, from removing wet materials and repairing subfloor and framing to rebuilding the shower and finishes.
