Kitchen & Bath Remodels
Kitchens and baths are the two rooms where sloppy work shows up fastest — and where water is always waiting for a mistake. Most of the quality lives in waterproofing, ventilation, and substrate, none of which you can see once the tile is on.
How It Actually Goes
Step by step, in plain language.
- 01
Layout and function first
We start with how you actually use the room: where you cook, who else is in there, what storage you are short on. Then we lay out plumbing and electrical to fit that, not the other way around.
- 02
Selections and allowances
Cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures. We give you an allowance per category so you know what your budget buys before you fall in love with something outside it.
- 03
Demolition and inspection of what's behind
Old cast iron drains, leaking shower pans, and dry-rotted subfloor are common in homes built before 1980. We photograph what we find and price the fix before covering it.
- 04
Rough plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing
Kitchens need dedicated circuits and real ventilation. Bathrooms need a properly sloped, tested waterproof assembly under the tile. This step is where a remodel earns its lifespan.
- 05
Tile, cabinetry, counters, finish
Template after cabinets are set, not before. Grout, caulk, and trim done last, once everything else has settled.
