FAQ Bath Renovations
What is the typical scope of a primary bath renovation?
A full primary bath renovation typically includes: complete demolition to studs, new wet-area waterproofing, new plumbing supply and drain configuration, new electrical (often including dedicated circuits for heated floors and steam), custom vanity cabinetry, new stone counters and shower-surround stone, new tile floors and shower walls, new fixtures throughout, and often a reconfiguration of the layout to add space, light, or storage.
Can a bath renovation be done while we still live in the house?
Usually, yes provided the home has at least one other functional bathroom. The work area is isolated with dust containment, the family lives in the unaffected portion of the home, and the renovated bath comes online when the punch list is complete.
Are heated floors worth the investment?
In a primary bath, almost always. The marginal cost is modest, the operating cost is low, and the comfort improvement on a winter morning is dramatic. In secondary baths the calculus depends on usage patterns.
