Our Bathroom Remodeling Services
Custom Shower and Tub Installation
Showers and tubs are the heart of any bathroom design. We specialize in installing walk-in showers, soaking tubs, or combined options tailored to your needs. Custom designs enhance comfort, efficiency, and style while serving as a lasting focal point in your remodeled bathroom.
Vanity and Sink Upgrades
Vanities and sinks define both function and storage. Our remodeling services include installing custom vanities with stylish sinks perfectly suited to your space. These upgrades enhance organization, elevate aesthetics, and ensure your bathroom remains practical, modern, and visually appealing for years to come.
Tile and Flooring Installation
Flooring sets the tone for bathroom style and durability. We install ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, or waterproof vinyl designed to handle moisture and heavy use. Professionally installed flooring provides elegance, long-lasting performance, and easy maintenance while complementing the overall design of your remodel.
Lighting and Ventilation Improvements
Proper lighting and ventilation are essential in modern bathrooms. We install stylish fixtures that brighten the space and highlight features while upgrading ventilation systems to control humidity and prevent mold growth. Together, these improvements create a safer, healthier, and more comfortable bathroom environment.
Fixture and Hardware Replacement
Faucets, showerheads, and hardware influence both style and usability. We replace outdated fixtures with modern, efficient options designed for performance and beauty. These thoughtful upgrades not only enhance aesthetics but also improve day-to-day function, ensuring your bathroom feels updated and cohesive.
Layout Redesign
Sometimes bathrooms need more than cosmetic updates—they need a functional redesign. Our services reconfigure layouts to improve flow, increase storage, and support modern lifestyles. A new layout creates a bathroom that feels open, efficient, and perfectly tailored to your household’s needs.
Benefits of Bathroom Remodeling
Increased Home Value
Bathroom remodeling is one of the most effective ways to boost property value. Updated layouts, modern fixtures, and stylish finishes appeal to buyers while improving resale potential. A professionally remodeled bathroom provides immediate comfort and delivers lasting financial benefits for homeowners long term.
Improved Functionality
Remodeling enhances bathroom usability by optimizing layouts, adding storage, and upgrading fixtures. Features like double vanities, walk-in showers, or efficient cabinetry simplify daily routines and improve efficiency. A well-planned remodel ensures every family member enjoys a bathroom that works seamlessly for their lifestyle needs.
Energy Efficiency
Today’s bathroom remodels often integrate eco-friendly features. Low-flow toilets, LED lighting, and improved ventilation reduce water and energy use, lowering utility bills. These upgrades create long-term savings, support sustainability, and make your bathroom more efficient while maintaining comfort, style, and practical everyday performance.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Remodeling transforms outdated bathrooms into modern retreats. Elegant tile, stylish vanities, and premium finishes enhance overall design while reflecting personal taste. Improved aesthetics create inviting, luxurious spaces where beauty meets function, ensuring bathrooms feel fresh, contemporary, and aligned with the homeowner’s lifestyle.
Better Comfort and Relaxation
Comfort-focused bathroom remodeling creates spaces designed for daily relaxation. Features such as heated floors, spa-style showers, and upgraded finishes turn basic routines into soothing experiences. Remodeling elevates the bathroom into a welcoming retreat that combines function, comfort, and lasting enjoyment for homeowners.
Increased Safety
Older bathrooms often pose risks like slippery floors and poor lighting. Remodeling introduces safer materials, brighter illumination, and practical features like grab bars or walk-in showers. These improvements enhance safety while preserving style, ensuring bathrooms remain secure, attractive, and comfortable for everyone.

Lee and his team transformed my screened porch. He listened to my design and budget needs in planning the project and was flexible when I introduced some slight modifications. His communication was clear and timely. Everything from the construction to the painting/staining looks great. Lee and his team were very respectful and I felt very comfortable having them at the house. 100% would reach out to Lee again for future projects.
Andrea M.
Lee and his team saved the day for us! We had a long running porch/deck project that wasn't going well with the previous contractor. Lee was highly recommended to us by a colleague so we reached out to see if our project could be saved. Lee was responsive, listened to our concerns, came up with a plan, showed up when he said they would, kept a clean work area, actively communicated, addressed all of our concerns, executed the plan and saved our project. We would have hired him from the start. Professional and reasonable...give Lee a call!
Brian O.
I recently used Lee’s services, and I couldn’t be happier! He and Brian came to help me with several projects around my house, including fixing a faucet, replacing a built-in soap dispenser, repairing a toilet paper holder, and touching up a wall scratch. But the biggest thing they did was hanging curtains on my 20-foot ceiling (something that several people before them refused to do). The work was done flawlessly, with great attention to detail and professionalism. I’m so grateful to have found someone so skilled and reliable. I HIGHLY recommend their services!!!
