If you are about to renovate a bathroom, we handle the messy part: clean demo, straight framing, and to-code plumbing and electrical rough-ins that line up with your future tile and fixtures.
What is worrying you now
Most of the risk in a bathroom project is hidden behind tile and drywall. These are the issues we are usually called in to fix or prevent.
Tile, dust, and broken fixtures tracked through the house, with little protection for floors, stairs, or nearby rooms.
Rot, mold, or old plumbing and wiring show up after demo, and no one has a plan for what to do next or what it costs.
Drains, valves, and electrical boxes end up in the wrong place for your vanity, shower, or niches, forcing awkward fixes later.
Work passes from one trade to another with no clear owner, leading to delays, blame, and extra visits.
Our fix: Contained demolition, documented repairs, and carefully planned rough-ins that line up with your fixtures and tile layout so the finish phase moves faster and with fewer surprises.
We treat gutting and rough-ins as their own scoped phase: protect, open, repair, and rough-in so that when your tiler or finisher steps in, they are working on straight, solid, inspected work.
Talk through your bathroom planWhat to expect
We protect the path to the bathroom, open up what needs to be opened, fix what is underneath, and leave you with a space that is ready for tile, fixtures, and finishes.
We review your layout or drawings, confirm fixture locations, check shutoffs, and plan protection and access for demo.
We cap lines, remove fixtures, tile, and drywall, and bag debris while protecting adjacent floors, stairs, and rooms.
We repair framing or subfloor as needed, then rough-in plumbing, electrical, and ventilation to match your final layout and code.
We coordinate inspections where required, pressure-test and check lines, then walk you and your finisher through what is ready and where everything is located.
Working with a designer or separate tiler? We can coordinate rough-in locations and timing so their work starts on a solid foundation.
Key decisions
A few decisions at the gut and rough-in stage will make the finished bathroom look cleaner and function better.
During the consult we look at your bathroom footprint, how you like to shower and store things, and who will be using the space, then help you decide what to move and what to keep where it is.
These ranges cover the gut and rough-in phase only. Exact pricing depends on what we find behind the walls and how much you are changing the layout.
Smaller bathrooms
For typical 3-piece bathrooms where fixtures stay mostly in the same locations and structure is sound.
Fixture relocation, major rot repair, or new ventilation runs are quoted separately.
Most renovations
For bathrooms where fixtures move, walls shift, or you are upgrading the shower type and ventilation.
Complex structural work, skylights, or extensive re-routing of stacks are priced as add-ons.
Premium and older homes
For multi-bath projects, older homes with significant issues, or high-detail layouts that need extra planning.
Engineering, permit drawings, and specialty fixtures can be coordinated and quoted with partners.
Quotes are fully itemized with allowances, contingency, and requested add-ons itemized for clarity. No hidden feesever.
What moves pricing
We walk through these factors with you so you understand what is essential and what is optional for your goals.
Rotten subfloors, mold, or undersized framing need to be fixed before new tile and fixtures go in.
Moving toilets, tubs, or drains usually means more plumbing work, more time, and sometimes more access from below.
Older plumbing or wiring may not support new fixtures, fans, or heated elements and might need upgrading.
Condo restrictions, limited parking, or tight stairs can change how we stage materials and schedule work.
Doing more than one bathroom at a time can save on mobilization but may change how long rough-ins take overall.
Before we start, you will know which factors apply to your bathroom and what they mean for price and timing.

You see exactly what is included in the gut and rough-in phase, what is not, and how we handle surprises before we start.
We use floor protection, dust control, and clear pathways so tile, debris, and tools stay out of your main living areas.
We measure and mark for vanity, shower, and accessories so drains, valves, and boxes end up where your finisher expects them.
You get a single point of contact, daily updates while we are on site, and answers when you or your designer need to confirm a detail.
We stand behind our rough-ins and leave photos and notes so you and future trades know what is in the walls.
The goal is not just to tear a bathroom out, but to hand you and your finisher a clean, solid starting point that keeps the rest of the project on track.
Preparation
These simple steps before we arrive help protect your belongings, avoid delays, and keep the project moving.
Sometimes pausing first protects your budget and the end result.
