Recently we remodeled a bathroom for client couple with nearly a 20 year vision. The owners purchased the home in the 90s and had always desired to remodel the bathroom to give it a more spacious look and feel. The only problem with that was that the entire room was very small at just 9×7 ft. Due to the efficiency footprint of the home it did not allow for any more space to be carved out of the home for a bathroom.
Our first challenge would be to effectively make the area function better and open up the space that was available to make it feel bigger. This was helped by the fact that the home owner had choose a jet tub with shower option. The top portion of space would be open. As you can see the old tub was boxed in by the wall. The wall and header portion at the top of the tub surround would need to be removed as well tub system to make room for the new one.
The homeowner had decided nearly 20 years ago when the time came to remodel the bathroom that they wanted to go back with a large jet tub. They knew that it would feel great after long hours at work.
So we set about getting them their dream. We did some drywall repair, installation and some light electrical work. We added a ceiling exhaust fan with heat and installed a Fasade ceiling system for them and it is now water and mold resistant. The ceiling had been old popcorn texture. However, when we were finished it had a sleek, new look. We repaired the floor that had taken some pretty bad abuse over time and replaced it with new flooring. Take a peek and see how you think we did.
Homeowner: “I wish we had done this years ago! I wished we hadn’t waited so long.”
