This project started like many bathroom remodels. The homeowners wanted a fresh, updated space with a larger custom shower, beautiful tile, new cabinetry, lighting, and a design that better fit their home.
Then we opened the walls.
We discovered that the original shower window had never been properly flashed by the builder, allowing water to damage the exterior sheathing over time. As we investigated further, we found another window with the same issue.
At that point, this wasn't just about creating a beautiful bathroom anymore - it was about protecting the home.
So before installing a single piece of tile, we:
✔️ Removed the damaged sheathing
✔️ Repaired the framing
✔️ Installed a brand-new shower window
✔️ Properly flashed both windows
✔️ Replaced the house wrap and siding to restore the exterior correctly
Only then did we move on to the fun part.
The finished bathroom now features:
✨ A custom tiled shower with a Schlueter line drain
✨ Large-format tile that flows seamlessly from the shower throughout the floor
✨ New custom vanity and linen cabinetry
✨ LED-lit mirrors and updated lighting
✨ Fresh paint and new fixtures throughout
The finished space is beautiful.
But what we're most proud of is what happened behind the walls - because great remodeling isn't just about what looks good today. It's about making sure it lasts for years to come.
