Bathroom Remodeling in Burlington, NC

Bathroom remodeling in Burlington, NC. We rebuild bathrooms across Alamance and Guilford County, from demo through tile, vanity, flooring and trim, with the same crew on it start to finish.

One crew, not four

The usual bathroom horror story is not bad work. It is a gap. The tile guy finishes and leaves, the vanity is three weeks out, nobody owns the trim, and a room you could not use for a fortnight becomes a room you cannot use for two months.

We run it as one job. Demo, framing repairs, the wet area, tile, fixtures, flooring and trim are all ours, so the schedule is one schedule and there is one person to ask when you want to know where it is.

The part that actually matters

Every failed bathroom we get called into failed at the water, not the finish. Tile is a wear surface. It is not waterproofing. What keeps water out of your floor joists is the layer behind it, and that layer is invisible the moment the job is done, which is exactly why it is the layer people skimp on.

So the wet area gets built properly. Backer board rather than drywall anywhere it can get wet. Seams and corners treated. The pan sloped to the drain so water actually goes where it is supposed to instead of sitting in a corner for six years quietly rotting the subfloor.

Get that right and the tile lasts as long as you want to look at it. Get it wrong and the prettiest bathroom in Alamance County is a slow leak with a nice finish on it.

What we find under old bathrooms

Bathrooms in older Piedmont houses hide two things: soft subfloor around the toilet flange, and framing that has taken years of small leaks. Neither is visible until demo day.

Both are cheap to fix while the room is already stripped and expensive to fix once the tile is down. We look before we price where we can, we tell you what we expect to find, and if we open a wall and it is worse than expected you hear about it that day with photos, not at the end on an invoice.

Tile, vanity and fixtures

Layout gets set out before anything is stuck down, so the cuts land somewhere sensible and you are not looking at a half-inch sliver of tile at the most visible corner for the rest of the time you own the house.

Vanities get set level and scribed to the wall, because no wall in a house from the seventies is straight. Faucets, shower heads, toilets and disposals we install. Work that needs a licensed plumbing or electrical contractor in North Carolina is outside what we take on, and we say so up front rather than get halfway in and stop.

Flooring and trim

Floor goes in with the transition to the hall thought about rather than covered with a strip at the end. Baseboard and casing get run tight, caulked and painted, because trim is the thing your eye actually reads as finished or unfinished.

If the ceiling still has texture on it, that is the moment to deal with it. See popcorn ceiling removal in Burlington NC. Doing it while the room is already a work site costs a fraction of doing it as its own visit.

What it costs and how long you lose the room

Price depends on the size of the room, whether the layout moves, whether it is a tub or a tile shower, what the tile is, and what we find under the old floor. A refresh that keeps the layout is a very different number to moving a shower.

Time is the question people actually care about. A straightforward rebuild that keeps the layout is usually a couple of weeks. Moving fixtures adds to it. We give you a real schedule with the price, and if you only have one bathroom we plan the sequence around that rather than pretending it does not matter.
