Bathroom remodels in Madison
A bathroom that's waterproof behind the tile and easy to live with in front of it.
Tile and grout aren't waterproof. What keeps a shower from rotting the wall behind it is the membrane under the tile, the slope of the pan, and how the corners and the drain are sealed. We build the waterproofing as its own step and flood test the shower pan before any tile goes on.
Bathrooms are small, so the order matters. Plumbing and electrical go in first and get inspected, then backer board, waterproofing, tile, the vanity and fixtures, and glass last. We also make sure the fan vents outside and not into the attic, because that's where a lot of mold problems start.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A full gut and rebuild usually runs three to five weeks. Custom shower glass is measured after the tile is done and takes a week or two to arrive, so the shower door is often the last piece to go in.
Can you make my shower easier to get into?
Yes. We can build a low-curb or curbless shower with a bench and a handheld sprayer, and put solid blocking in the walls for grab bars now or later. Blocking costs very little while the walls are open and a lot once they're tiled.
