Waterproofing is where bathrooms are won or lost
A bathroom that fails does it behind the tile, and by the time you see it, the framing is involved. We use a proper waterproofing membrane system in wet areas rather than relying on backer board alone, slope the shower pan correctly to the drain, and detail the corners and the curb where almost all failures start. It adds a line to the quote and it's the line we'd argue hardest to keep.
Scope, honestly
A minor remodel — new vanity, toilet, fixtures, paint, maybe re-glaze or replace the floor — is a genuinely good-value project and often lands in the $3,000 to $10,000 range. A partial remodel that includes new tile and a rebuilt shower typically runs $10,000 to $25,000. A full gut that moves plumbing, changes the layout or adds a custom shower goes above that. We'll tell you which one you're describing before you get attached to a number.
Who does the plumbing and electrical
Texas licenses plumbers and electricians at the state level, and all plumbing and electrical work on our bathrooms is performed by Texas state-licensed subcontractors. That includes moving supply lines and drains, and anything that touches the panel. Where a permit is required we pull it.
Living with the job
A single-bathroom home is the hardest version of this project, so we sequence it to minimize the days you're without one and tell you upfront exactly which days those are. Demo is the dusty part and we contain it; the rest is quieter than people expect.
Houston specifics
Houston's housing stock runs from 1940s bungalows inside the Loop to new construction on the edges, and the two need completely different approaches. Older homes bring lead-paint rules, plaster and lath, cast-iron drain lines and settled foundations; newer builds bring builder-grade finishes that were never meant to last. We quote what's actually in front of us rather than working off a citywide average.
