Full Bathroom Gut and Rebuild After Water Damage

Water damage has a way of showing you exactly how far a problem goes once you start pulling things apart. That was the case here. What looked like a surface issue turned into a full tear-down - damaged flooring, compromised walls, the works. We didn't patch over it. We took everything out and rebuilt it right.

The before tells the story pretty clearly. That corner shower unit was dated, the flooring was dark and tired, and the space just wasn't working. Once we stripped it down to the studs and addressed the structural damage underneath, we had a clean slate to work with. That's when the real work begins.

We rebuilt the floor with large-format marble-look tile that instantly opened up the space. The shower got a complete overhaul - subway tile floor to ceiling, matte black framed glass enclosure, and a new fixture setup with a handheld wand and built-in shelving. Every hardware detail was matched in matte black to keep the whole thing cohesive. Fresh drywall, new texture, and paint on the walls tied it all together.

This is what a proper bathroom remodel looks like when you don't cut corners. When water damage is involved, there's no skipping steps. You have to fix the foundation before you worry about the finish. That's exactly what we did here, and the result speaks for itself.

Jobs like this one are a good reminder that the right approach isn't always the fastest one - but it's the one that holds up. If you've got a bathroom that's overdue for an upgrade, or you're dealing with damage you're not sure how to handle, this is the kind of work we do every day.
