Professional Bathroom Reconstruction
Bathroom reconstruction addresses water-damaged, fire-damaged, or outdated bathrooms with full rebuild services. Bathrooms present unique challenges: waterproofing requirements, tight spaces, and coordination of plumbing, electrical, tile, and fixtures.
Our bathroom specialists ensure proper moisture barriers, code-compliant ventilation, and durable finishes designed for wet environments. Insurance reconstruction matches pre-loss; upgrades are priced separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you waterproof showers?
We install waterproof membrane systems (Kerdi, RedGard, or equivalent) over cement board backer. This prevents moisture penetration even with cracked grout. Proper waterproofing prevents the water damage that caused many bathroom rebuilds.
Can I keep my existing tub?
If undamaged and meeting your needs, yes. We can rebuild walls around existing fixtures. However, access to plumbing requires fixture removal, so evaluation determines feasibility.
What about matching existing tile?
Exact tile matches are often unavailable, especially for older installations. We source closest alternatives or recommend full replacement for consistency. Sometimes accent tiles can blend new and old.
