Materials & finishes

Engineered for Atlanta humidity.

Atlanta's humidity is the hidden enemy. The mold problem in 1990s-era bathrooms is a substrate-and-ventilation issue. Our default spec is the floor — not a luxury upgrade.

Suppliers: Floor & Decor, Daltile, Kohler, Delta, Moen. Or shop independently with our allowance numbers.

  • Schluter Kerdi or Wedi waterproofing membrane

    Behind every tile shower. Atlanta humidity makes this baseline, not luxury.

  • Large-format porcelain (12×24 and up) on shower walls

    Fewer grout lines, less surface for mold. Specifically called out by Atlanta-area suppliers.

  • Epoxy grout on horizontal shower surfaces

    Resists mold growth and discoloration in a way cement-based grout doesn't.

  • Humidity-sensing exhaust fan

    Panasonic WhisperCeiling DC or equivalent — runs on humidity, not on a switch you forget.

  • Quartz vanity tops

    Mid-market default. Non-porous, mold-resistant, no sealing required.

  • Frameless glass shower enclosure

    Mid-market expectation in 2025/2026, no longer a luxury upgrade.

Where we work

  • Alpharetta
  • Roswell
  • Milton
  • Johns Creek
  • Sandy Springs

Common questions

What homeowners ask before they call.

How much does a full bathroom remodel cost in Atlanta?

Most full hall-bath remodels in metro Atlanta land between $18,500 and $32,000 depending on scope and finish level — that's also where Angi's 2025 Atlanta-area average ($13,129–$19,039 for most homeowners) and the national mid-range Cost vs. Value figure (~$25,000) cluster. Powder-room refreshes start lower (around $9,500) and master / primary suites with structural changes can run $55,000–$85,000+. We publish three tiers on the pricing page so you can self-qualify before the consultation.

Why are quotes from different contractors so far apart for the same scope?

Three reasons, in descending order. First, what's actually in the contract — some firms exclude tile, demo, electrical, or permits and add them later as 'change orders.' Second, allowance levels — a $1,500 tile allowance and a $4,500 tile allowance produce very different bathrooms. Third, labor cost — in-house W-2 crews cost more than rotating subs but ship faster and don't disappear mid-project. When comparing quotes, ask for line-item itemization and identical allowance numbers across bidders.

Is the price you quote actually fixed, or will it change?

Fixed. After the in-home consultation we deliver a written proposal with every line item itemized — demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, paint, fixtures, and material allowances. Once you sign, the price is locked. The only time the number changes is if you request additional scope (a different tile, an extra recessed light, an extra fixture). Those become a separately-quoted, signed change order before any work proceeds — no surprise bills at the end.

How long will my bathroom be unusable?

Powder-room refresh: 5–10 working days. Full hall bath: 18–28 working days (typical 21). Master / primary suite refresh: 26–32 working days. Master with structural changes: 35–45 working days. These ranges assume in-house crew, materials staged on site, and no surprise demo findings — which is what we plan for. Industry benchmark from Sweeten's 2025 data is 20–30 working days for full bath construction; we sit at the fast end of that range.

What tile and grout choices hold up best in Atlanta humidity?

Large-format porcelain on shower walls (12×24 and up) — fewer grout lines means less surface for mold to colonize. Epoxy grout instead of cement-based on horizontal shower surfaces. Schluter Kerdi or Wedi waterproofing membrane behind every tile — that's our baseline spec, not a luxury upgrade. Atlanta humidity from May through September is no joke; the right substrate prevents the slow-mold problem you see in 1990s bathrooms.

Do I need a permit for my bathroom remodel?

If we're touching framing, drywall, plumbing piping, electrical circuits, or HVAC vent ducting — yes. Like-for-like cosmetic swaps (paint, faucet, fixture replacement in the same location) are generally exempt across Alpharetta, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Marietta, and Atlanta proper. Georgia state law also requires a licensed contractor for any project over $2,500 in combined labor and materials.

What's covered under your workmanship warranty, and for how long?

Lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own the home, in writing. Covers our craftsmanship: caulk separation, grout cracking, tile lippage developing, fixtures working loose, framing or drywall issues we built. Excludes wear, misuse, water damage from a leak we didn't cause, and acts of God. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures, tile, and cabinetry are separate and assigned to you at completion. Georgia state law requires a written warranty on any contract over $2,500 — ours is on top of the regulatory minimum, not a substitute.

Can you build a curbless, ADA-compatible shower in an existing footprint?

Yes, in most cases. We've built curbless walk-in showers in 80 sq ft master baths in 1980s Atlanta-area homes. Requires careful drainage planning and pour engineering — the shower floor needs the right slope to a linear or trench drain without losing the 'flush with the bathroom floor' look. ADA compliance specifically (36-inch minimum entry, grab-bar reinforcement, fold-down bench at the right height) is a separate spec — call it out at the consultation.
