Here is a step by step process on how we renovate bathrooms
1. Remove Bathroom Fixtures
Assuming you’re partially or totally renovating your bathroom, we need to start by removing drywall and any fixtures you decide on replacing. Gutting the bathroom isn’t too difficult, and we make sure to follow these steps to avoid any costly mistakes during the demolition phase.
2. Install the New Shower or Tub
After we’ve gutted your bathroom, we will start installing your new fixtures. If there are any signs of rotting wood or water damage to your subfloor, we would replace it before installing your new shower to prevent further damage.
3. Lay the New Flooring
After prepping your subfloor, we start installing your new flooring. While tile is the most popular choice for bathrooms, you may consider other flooring materials like laminate or vinyl which are more affordable and DIY-friendly to work with.
4. Hang Drywall and Start Painting
The next step in your bathroom remodel is to hang the new drywall. This can be time-consuming, as we have to cut the new drywall to fit around your shower walls, vanity and other features. Once we start nailing up the boards, though, we should be able to get through this process quickly.
5. Install Cabinets and Vanity
After we’ve taken care of the walls, we can bring in the vanity, cabinets and any other major items left on your bathroom renovation punch list.
6. Update Lighting
Configure electrical fixtures and install your new lighting. If their dimensions are bigger or smaller than your current ones, we will need to adjust the wiring and potentially spackle around existing holes in the wall.
7. Hook Up the Plumbing
At this point in the process, your bathroom actually resembles a bathroom, except for one thing: the toilet. We would reinstall your toilet or put in a new one earlier in the process, but leaving it for last helps avoid chipping it while working on other areas of the bathroom.
Finally, you can install the trim around the room and start decorating. The trim is the capstone for every bathroom renovation as it provides the last bit of detail your space needs to feel complete. Add window treatments, decorative storage containers and pictures on the wall to personalize the room. Then, take a relaxing bath or shower and enjoy the new space you’ve worked so hard on!
