Why Renovate Your Bathroom?

  • Energy and Water Efficiency: Modern fixtures and lighting reduce utility costs.

  • Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: Create a serene, spa-like retreat that fits your design taste.

Step 1: In-Home Consultation

Our process begins with a free in-home consultation where we assess your existing bathroom, discuss your needs and preferences, and take measurements. We listen closely to understand your goals and offer expert guidance.

During the consultation, we:

  • Evaluate space constraints and possibilities

  • Discuss your design inspiration and must-haves

  • Review your timeline and budget

  • Take detailed measurements for design accuracy

Step 2: Design and Planning

With measurements in hand, our team creates a custom design plan tailored to your style, needs, and home architecture. You’ll receive:

  • 3D renderings or visual mood boards

  • A curated selection of materials and finishes

  • Plumbing and lighting plans

  • Layout options optimized for space and function

We guide you in choosing:

  • Tile & Flooring: Porcelain, marble, ceramic, luxury vinyl, and more

  • Vanities & Countertops: Custom cabinetry, quartz, granite, or cultured marble

  • Fixtures & Hardware: Faucets, showerheads, towel bars, etc.

  • Lighting: Recessed, task, ambient, and accent lighting

  • Mirrors & Accessories

Step 3: Project Proposal & Timeline

After the design phase, we present a detailed proposal that includes:

  • Transparent pricing

  • Scope of work

  • Estimated timeline

  • Payment milestones

We aim to provide a clear roadmap so you know what to expect at every stage.
