What's included in a typical bathroom update versus a full remodel?+
A bathroom update usually means new fixtures, vanity, lighting, and possibly new tile or flooring, without moving plumbing or changing the room's layout. A full remodel involves moving plumbing, changing the layout, or structural work. Updates are faster and less expensive — usually $12,000–$25,000 versus $35,000+ for a full remodel.
How long does a bathroom update take?+
Most bathroom updates take 2–3 weeks from start to finish, assuming materials are on hand and no unexpected issues surface once we open the walls. Full remodels with plumbing relocation typically run 4–6 weeks.
Do you handle tile work and shower installations?+
Yes, including tile shower surrounds, floor tile, and waterproofing systems. Waterproofing is the step that determines whether a tile shower lasts 20 years or fails in 3 — we don't skip it to save time.
Can you update a bathroom without a permit?+
Cosmetic updates — new vanity, fixtures, paint, even like-for-like tile — typically don't require a permit. Moving plumbing or adding electrical circuits does. We tell you which category your project falls into before we start.
