Our contractors walk you through the entire process so there are no surprises. We've guided hundreds of Portland homeowners through remodels of all sizes, and we bring the same methodical approach to every job.
Before any work begins, we sit down with you to discuss your vision, budget, and timeline. Your contractor measures the space precisely and works up a layout that makes sense for your needs. Are you adding a walk-in shower? Relocating the vanity? Expanding the toilet enclosure? The design phase sets everything in motion.
We source materials, finalize the plumbing route, and nail down electrical locations. A solid plan prevents costly changes later on. You'll review floor plans and material samples so you know exactly what's coming.
Once permits are in place, the demolition crew removes the old fixtures, flooring, and walls. We protect your home from dust and debris using tarps and plastic barriers. This phase reveals any hidden damage to framing or plumbing that needs repair.
We dispose of all old materials properly and then inspect the bare structure. If rot, mold, or damage appears, we address it before moving forward. The space is prepped down to the studs and subfloor, ready for the rebuild.
Licensed plumbers run new supply lines and drain pipes according to your layout. All rough-in work gets inspected by the city before we cover any walls. Electricians install new wiring for lights, outlets, and any heated floors or towel racks. This is also when ventilation ducts are positioned and sealed to code.
Walls are framed to create the new layout. We install blocking for future fixture mounting and ensure everything is square and plumb. Insulation is added for sound dampening and thermal control, which is especially important in a wet environment. Any changes to the ceiling are completed at this stage too.
Waterproofing is non-negotiable in a bathroom. We use membrane systems, tile backer board, and proper sealing to keep moisture out of your walls and subfloor. Every corner gets sealed, every seam is taped and waterproofed. This is what keeps your bathroom from developing leaks and mold years down the road.
Shower areas get full waterproof enclosure treatment. We apply liquid or sheet membranes under your tile substrate and seal all transitions where the shower meets the wall. The shower pan slopes toward the drain correctly so water doesn't pool anywhere.
Walls behind the sink and around the tub are also sealed with moisture barrier. Ventilation fans are properly ducted to the outside so humidity escapes. Paint and caulk used in the bathroom are mold-resistant and moisture-rated.
Your contractor sets tile using proper thinset mortar and spacing to allow for grout. Tile is cut precisely around fixtures and edges. Grout is applied and sealed to resist moisture and staining. Flooring choices like porcelain, glass tile, or stone are secured over waterproofing membrane and subfloor.
Larger format tiles with fewer grout lines are popular in modern Portland bathrooms. Natural stone requires extra sealing. Your contractor helps you choose finishes that balance aesthetics with durability.
Vanities, toilets, faucets, and hardware are installed once the walls and flooring are complete. Plumbing connections are made and tested. Shower doors or enclosures are fitted and sealed. Light fixtures are wired and mounted. Mirrors and accessories go in place.
Paint or wall coverings that were chosen for moisture resistance are applied. Caulk seals all transitions between materials. The space is cleaned thoroughly, and you get a final walkthrough to verify everything meets code and your expectations.

One of the best parts of remodeling is choosing materials that reflect your taste and fit your budget. Your contractor walks you through options for every component.
Traditional alcove tubs, freestanding soaking tubs, walk-in showers with glass doors, and wet rooms are all popular in Portland. Tile surrounds range from subway tiles to large format stone to intricate mosaics. You might choose a tub to shower conversion if you need better accessibility or prefer a spacious rainfall shower.
Custom vanities are built to your dimensions and style. Floating vanities save space in small bathrooms. Double vanities work great for master baths. Materials include wood, laminate, or premium finishes like quartz or stone tops. Vanity installation includes plumbing hookup, so everything is functional and sealed properly.
Porcelain tile is durable and waterproof. Natural stone like marble or slate adds luxury but requires sealing. Luxury vinyl plank mimics wood look while staying completely waterproof. Bathroom flooring installation ensures proper slope and substrate preparation so your floor lasts decades.
Bathroom lighting installation includes task lighting at the mirror, ambient ceiling lights, and any accent lighting you want. Exhaust fans remove humidity. Heated floors add comfort in winter. These upgrades improve both function and comfort.
Related services that complement a full remodel include bathroom tile installation and bathroom plumbing upgrades. We also coordinate shower installation and bathtub installation as standalone projects if you're upgrading fixtures without a full remodel.
