Bathroom remodeling done watertight

A bathroom fails from the inside out. Ours start with the waterproofing details you will never see, inspected and photographed before a single tile goes up.

We gut to the studs on nearly every bathroom, because a 1950s Madison bath usually hides 1950s plumbing. You get a flood-tested shower pan, documented waterproofing, and vent work that actually clears the mirror.

Vanities come out of our own shop, which is how a five-foot bathroom ends up with storage that works: full-depth drawers around the plumbing, a medicine cabinet recessed between studs, a linen tower sized to your towels.

How it works

How a project runs

  1. 01

    Walk the house

    We meet at your home, talk scope and budget honestly, and tell you on the spot if we are not the right fit.

  2. 02

    Design in the shop

    Drawings, 3D previews, and materials you can hold, in the studio attached to our workshop. Ends with a fixed price.

  3. 03

    Build it once

    A posted calendar, a dust wall, a broom-clean site every night, and cabinetry arriving from a mile away instead of a freight dock.

  4. 04

    Come back in winter

    Final walkthrough, then the Second Winter visit 14 months later to make right anything the seasons moved.

Good to know

Bathrooms questions

What does a bathroom remodel cost with you?

Recent hall baths have run $38k to $55k; primary suites $60k to $110k depending on scope. Every case study on this site publishes its real number.

How long is a bathroom out of commission?

Four to six weeks for most full renovations. If it is your only bathroom, we phase the work so you are never without a working toilet and shower overnight.
