Refined Retreat
Crafted in 3D. Built to Perfection.
This bathroom renovation was thoughtfully planned using detailed 3D design renderings, giving the client full confidence before construction began. Featuring seamless window trim, a custom-built wainscot, a striking neo-angle glass shower, and vertically stacked subway tile, every element was chosen to elevate both function and finish. Standard crown molding frames the room with a clean, classic edge.
From Setback to Stunning
Modern design. Built to last
We transformed this washroom after previous contractors left it torn apart and improperly reassembled. Our team rebuilt the space from the ground up, delivering a clean, modern design with long-lasting performance in mind. The upgrade features a sleek, lighted fogless mirror, a custom two-part waterproof cabinet for smart storage, and complete wall-to-wall waterproofing to ensure durability and peace of mind. The result is a stylish, fully restored washroom built to look great and stand the test of time.

We can do both. If you’re keeping your existing layout, we’ll update everything within those constraints. If you’d like a different layout, our licensed plumbers can relocate drains, fixtures, or vents as needed (with proper permits).
What should I budget for a bathroom renovation?
Costs vary based on materials, size, and design complexity, but most complete bathroom remodels range from $15,000 to $30,000. We’ll provide a detailed, transparent quote before any work begins—no surprises.
Do you offer accessibility or aging-in-place solutions?
Yes. We specialize in barrier-free showers, grab bars, walk-in tubs, and slip-resistant flooring to make your bathroom safer and more comfortable for all ages.
Can you work in occupied homes without major disruption?
Yes. We use dust barriers, negative air filtration, and daily cleanup to minimize disruption while your project is underway. Most clients continue living at home during renovations.
