Surface finishes don’t tell the whole story. Leaks, soft subfloors, and aging plumbing usually sit behind tile and drywall. We start by checking what’s underneath so you’re not paying for cosmetic fixes that won’t last.

Most projects run three to six weeks once work begins. Delays usually come from material lead times or hidden issues behind the walls. We sequence demo, inspections, waterproofing, and finishes up front so the job moves without stalls.

During demo, plumbing, and waterproofing the room is out of service. The risk is underestimating that downtime. We set the schedule before demo so you know exactly when the bathroom will be offline and for how long.

In Seattle, permits are required when plumbing, electrical, or walls change. Skipping them causes failed inspections and resale problems. We pull permits and coordinate inspections so everything stays compliant.

Once walls and floors open up, rot, mold, or outdated pipes are common, especially in older homes. Covering that up guarantees future failures. We correct those conditions before new finishes go in.

Costs are driven more by labor, waterproofing, plumbing, and layout than by fixtures alone. Underestimating those pieces leads to overruns. We build the scope around the work that actually needs to happen so pricing stays accurate.

Failures start behind the tile. Showers and tubs need membranes, sealed drains, and proper backer boards so water never reaches framing. That system goes in first and is verified before tile or fixtures are installed.

Drains, venting, and framing limit what’s practical. Moving them without a plan drives cost and risk. We check what’s behind the walls first, then design changes that work structurally and financially.

High-moisture spaces destroy the wrong tile, grout, cabinets, and fixtures. Durability comes from using products built for wet areas and installing them correctly. We narrow choices to options that fit your look, budget, and long-term use.

Updated bathrooms are one of the strongest buyer signals. Clean, modern spaces raise appeal and usually lift resale value compared to dated or worn rooms.

Undocumented changes create disputes and delays. Any adjustment to scope, cost, or timeline is written and approved before the work moves forward.

You get coverage on both the products and the installation. That protects against material defects and workmanship issues that could otherwise turn into leaks or failures later.
