Bathroom remodeling in Charlotte
Showers, tub-to-shower conversions, tubs, vanities and full rebuilds.
What a bathroom project can include
Most bathrooms we're called to have one of three problems: a shower that leaks or looks worn out, a tub nobody uses, or a layout that never worked. We fix the cause, not just the surface.
- Showers
- Walk-in showers with a low or no curb, a bench or niche, glass, and a fully waterproofed base and walls.
- Tub to shower
- Taking out an unused tub and building a shower in its place.
- Tubs
- A new tub, or a freestanding tub where the room allows it.
- Vanities
- A new vanity, top, sink, faucet, mirror and lighting.
- Tile
- Floors and walls, set flat, with the right waterproofing wherever water reaches.
- Full rebuilds
- Everything down to the studs and subfloor, rebuilt.
Why the waterproofing matters
Grout and tile are not waterproof on their own. A shower lasts when a waterproof layer sits behind the tile and is sloped to the drain.
How it runs
Call and visit
We look at the room, check for water damage, and talk about what you want from it.
Choices and estimate
You pick tile, vanity and fixtures; we put scope, materials and price in one written estimate.
Demolition
Down to the studs where needed. Any rot or water damage we find is shown to you before we fix it.
Rough work and waterproofing
Plumbing changes (with a permit when the law requires one), backer board and the waterproof layer.
Tile, fixtures and finish
Tile, grout, glass, vanity and trim, then a walkthrough.
Permits
Under North Carolina law, work costing $40,000 or less in a single-family home needs no building permit unless it changes plumbing design, structure, HVAC or wiring (like-kind swaps of devices and light fixtures excepted).
Replacing a vanity or re-tiling a shower in the same place usually needs none; moving a drain or adding a circuit does.

Questions homeowners ask
Can you remodel the bathroom while we keep using the other one?
Yes, that's the usual plan. If it's your only bathroom, we talk about timing before we start.
My shower has a soft spot in the floor. Is that a problem?
Usually it means water has reached the subfloor. It's worth checking soon; the fix is easier before the damage spreads.
