The final process of the bathroom remodel requires attention to detail. 

Grouting of tile, priming and painting, installation of baseboards and fixtures.  About 4 days of work. 

Proper lay-out of tile to center of shower enclosure is important.

Centering the room for the tile floor makes the room look more uniform, so that your reveals are even all the way around the whole bathroom.

New toilet, vanity, mirror and fixtures installed, to complete the remodel.  Total time to gut and remodel this bathroom, with three inspections in-between, was three weeks (with two people working).

A bid for a bathroom remodel is based on multiple factors – square footage, time, materials, electrical, plumbing, permits, design, etc…  Some people might assume that a remodel of a standard-sized bathroom (5×8′) would be a quick and easy job, when in fact, it can be just as time-consuming as the remodel of a much larger bathroom.  Your manpower is limited by space.    There is still the element of the unknown – issues that are discovered during the demo phase of the remodel.  Time with the client is required to assist them with the design elements such as tile, fixtures, paint colors, and so on. 

In a larger bathroom, two people could demo the concrete subfloor while one person removed debris; in this size bathroom, demo was done by one person while another person removed debris.

 The demo phase of this project took 2 days with 2 people.  There was a 4′ high tile surround on every wall that was laid over plaster and lath, which increased the demo time because you must be careful when removing tiles in order to not damage the wall.

Tub surround

We start by laying out the tile for the tub surround.  This particular tile phase involved multiple, different sized tiles, and took 2 people two and a half days to complete.  Grout will follow, and upon completion, painting, baseboards and installation of fixtures.

Man I get my permit tomorrow so I can do this small job I have . Yee Haw

We have installed the newly refinished clawfoot bathtub, along with the sink and toilet.  This remodel also included retexturing and fixing all flaws on the walls, and painting.  Installed picture frame paneling, which I designed.  Client is very happy with the finished product, and we are doing another unit in the same building.  In this additional unit, we are skim coating the ceilings to remove all blemishes and visible flaws before painting.

We took a small 7×6′ space and built a deck in SF.  We removed an existing window and installed a small door out onto the new deck.  Adjacent to the new door, we removed a fixed window, installing the previously removed working window in its place.  From start to finish, the entire job took 4 days to complete.

We are wrapping up our Banks Street project, which was an 800 sq. ft. remodel.  We’ve started a new project in North Beach – a small, 7×6 deck.
