Bathroom Remodeling That Gets the Invisible Parts Right.
Walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, and vanities that actually fit — plus the waterproofing and ventilation that keep it beautiful for the next 20 years.
Small Room. Zero Margin for Error.
Bathrooms are the smallest rooms we build and the hardest to get right. Every square inch carries water, steam, and daily traffic — and any mistake in waterproofing, slope, or ventilation shows up as mold, rot, or a callback within two years. That's why our bathroom crews specialize in this one room. We install the waterproofing systems, decoupling membranes, and vapor management that most contractors skip because they're expensive and invisible. They're also the reason our bathrooms are still dry at year fifteen.
Every Bathroom Project Covers the Full System
Not just tile and fixtures. Waterproofing, ventilation, and plumbing are the parts you can't see — and the ones we refuse to compromise on.
Walk-In Showers
Curbless or low-threshold showers with linear drains, fully waterproofed substrates, and frameless glass.
Tubs & Soakers
Freestanding, alcove, or drop-in tubs with proper framing, overflow protection, and reinforced subfloor.
Heated Floors
Electric radiant mats under tile, thermostatically controlled, with dedicated GFCI circuit and timer.
Waterproofing
Cement board, liquid or sheet membranes, and pre-formed shower pans — installed to TCNA standards, not guesswork.
Ventilation
Properly sized exhaust fans ducted to the exterior — never into an attic — with humidity-sensing controls.
Vanities & Storage
Floating, freestanding, or furniture-style vanities with soft-close drawers and moisture-resistant finishes.
Plumbing
Relocated supply and drain lines, new shut-off valves, and pressure-tested rough-in before any wall closes.
Lighting
Layered vanity task lighting, moisture-rated ceiling fixtures, and warm dimmable ambient light.
Permits & Inspections
We file with your municipality and coordinate every inspection — plumbing, electrical, and final.
Find the Bathroom That Fits Your Home
Four directions our clients choose most often. Each one balances style with the durability a wet room demands.
Spa Retreat
Freestanding tub, large-format tile, warm neutral tones, and matte black or brushed brass fixtures. The look most clients ask for in primary bathrooms.
Modern Minimal
Floating vanity, curbless shower, large porcelain slabs, and linear drains. Everything hidden, everything clean, nothing wasted.
Classic Timeless
Subway tile, hex mosaic floors, a pedestal or console sink, and polished chrome. Stays in style no matter what trends come and go.
Warm Rustic
Natural stone, wood-look tile, oil-rubbed bronze hardware, and a vessel sink. Feels like a mountain lodge — without the maintenance.
Why Our Bathrooms Don't Fail
Most bathroom failures trace back to shortcuts in the wall cavity — not the visible tile. Here's what we do differently.
Full Wet-Area Membranes
Every shower receives a bonded waterproofing membrane over cement board — not just green board and caulk. This is the layer that prevents mold behind your walls.
Pre-Sloped Shower Pans
We build or install pre-sloped pans with a positive drain slope of ¼" per foot — the correct standard. No puddles, no standing water, no long-term damage.
Code-Compliant Ventilation
Exhaust fans sized to the room's volume and ducted to the exterior. Never into an attic or soffit — the most common mistake we correct in older homes.
Five Phases from Demo to Final Walkthrough
Most bathroom remodels wrap in 2–3 weeks. Larger primary bath suites can run 4–5 weeks with plumbing relocation.
Demo & Rough-In
Careful removal of old finishes, inspection of framing and subfloor, new plumbing and electrical rough-in.
Framing & Waterproofing
Cement board, membrane, shower pan, and niche details — the layers nobody sees but everyone depends on.
Tile & Stone
Floor and wall tile installed with consistent grout lines, correct thinset, and clean transitions at every plane change.
Fixtures & Finishes
Vanity set, toilet and shower trim installed, glass measured and ordered, paint and trim completed.
Punch & Handoff
Glass installed, caulk lines cleaned, final walkthrough, and a punch list we complete before final invoice.

"We had a bathroom with a leak that three other contractors wanted to 'patch.' BrightForge tore into the wall, found the failed pan liner, and rebuilt the entire shower with proper waterproofing. Two years later it looks brand new. Worth every dollar."
Questions We Hear Every Week
If it's your only full bath, no — you'll need to plan for 2–3 weeks using an alternate shower. If you have a second bath, the project stays fully contained and life continues normally.
Yes — it's one of our most common projects. Tub-to-shower conversions typically require relocating the drain, which we handle under the same permit. Aging-in-place and accessibility upgrades are a specialty.
A curbless shower requires either recessing the subfloor or building up the surrounding floor. Both are feasible in most homes and we'll tell you which option fits your structure during the in-home measure.
We remediate it as part of the project. If we find significant mold behind walls, we'll stop, document it, and discuss proper remediation before continuing — never cover it up.
Yes. We install both integrated smart toilets and add-on bidet seats, including dedicated electrical outlets and GFCI protection where required.
Absolutely. Many clients purchase tile and fixtures themselves to hit a specific budget. We'll review your selections to confirm compatibility before ordering or installing.
