Bathroom Repairs that Cause Remodeling

Next to your kitchen your bathroom is a close second or third in the most used rooms of your home. In this case the remodel was very limited to a new tub surround, shower head, and tile flooring. This remodel was dictated by water damaged caused by a water leak which when they go unchecked can cause major damage slowly over years of time. This damage was caused by the shower but sometimes it is caused by a toilet or a sink leak. Also carpet in a bathroom is a big no no. Think of carpet as a big sponge that never gets rung out. Now don’t go removing carpet from your whole house as studies have shown that carpet is a type of health filter that picks up dust and viral contaminates and experts also state regularly schedule professional carpet cleaning can clean this filter for you. Putting carpet in a bathroom is done usually by builders in order to offer the customer a lower price point. Of course we are always sensitive of our customers’ budgets and ceramic tile installation usually starts around $10 a square foot. Most bathrooms are the smaller square footage rooms in your house. This project took about 3 days. As always we warranty our workmanship for 1 year.

Tile can make over a bathroom

When considering remodeling a bathroom be sure to consider the flooring choices.  Tile is a very popular choice.  Don’t forget to consider adding the new heated flooring systems.  These can be added to most bathrooms for under $750 but they have to be added prior to putting the tile down.  The below pictures are of a tile job we did for a customer last week.  The tile layout design is called pinwheel.  The homeowner was so happy with the change that it made for both of their bathrooms. 

I didn’t take any before pictures because there was carpet in these bathrooms.  If you have carpet in your bathrooms PLEASE get us or someone to put tile in there before the plashing of kids in the tub ruins the subflooring and causes the costs to rise because the subflooring has swelled and in extreme cases can cause mold.  I am not an alarmist but please know that carpet doesnt belong in a bathroom (unless its a rug).   If you have questions please let us know.  We stand ready to help with advice for the do-it-yourselfers to taking on any project you can dream of.
