Questions

How long will we be without the bathroom?

Usually four to six weeks for a hall bath. If it’s your only bathroom, we can phase the work so you have a working toilet every night.

What’s a flood test?

Before any tile goes down, we plug the drain and fill the shower pan with water for 24 hours. If the level doesn’t drop, the waterproofing is good.

Can you turn a tub into a walk-in shower?

Yes, it’s our most common bathroom job. We’ll check the drain location and the floor framing first.
