Bathroom case study

Twin Cities Bathroom Remodel

A freestanding tub under a banded shade, a full glass shower, warm porcelain tile, and a layout that holds together whether you're rushing out the door or winding down.

Scope

Full bathroom remodel: layout, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, lighting, and cabinetry.

Best fit for

Homeowners who care about how the bathroom feels every morning, not just how it shoots.

What it proves

That a bathroom can be calm and spa-quiet without getting cold or overly precious.

What we were solving

The old bathroom had everything in the wrong place: tub too small, shower too tight, vanity with no workspace, and a window that didn't do much for the room. The remodel rebuilt the layout around daily use first and looks second.

Waterproofing got rebuilt from the subfloor up. Tile went in with the discipline a bathroom deserves. Fixtures, lighting, and cabinetry got specified together so nothing competes.

Why it holds up

Bathrooms punish shortcuts. The ones that still feel good in ten years are the ones where the hidden work was done right. That's most of what a good bath remodel actually is.

Inside the room

A few frames.

Different bathrooms, same discipline on tile, waterproofing, and finish.

Light, porcelain tile, and an undramatic sense of calm.
What made it work

The hidden work is most of the project.

Layout first, waterproofing second, tile third. The fixtures and finishes arrive to a room that's already set up for them. That's the order we run bathrooms in.

Bathroom planning

Small room, big decisions.

Tile, fixtures, lighting, waterproofing, layout, and comfort all have to be specified together. We can help you pull the selections into one coherent room.
