Fibreglass surround replacement
Builder-grade units swapped for tiled walls and a proper pan.
18 minutes north on US-19
A split between century-old farmhouses and houses built since 2000, which need very different work.
01
The older Reems Creek farmhouses have the classic problems: bathrooms carved out of former bedrooms, plumbing added in the 1950s and again in the 1980s, and floors that slope enough to matter when you set a large tile. Self-levelling compound is a line item on almost every quote up here.
The newer subdivisions have the opposite issue. Builder-grade fibreglass surrounds, a single overhead light, a fan that hums like a hair dryer, and a 36 inch vanity in a room that could take 48. These are quick, high-impact projects, usually two to three weeks.
Weaverville is close enough that we can run material out same-day, which keeps small change orders from costing a day.

02
Every neighbourhood has its own recurring problem. These are the four we budget for here before we even see the room.
Builder-grade units swapped for tiled walls and a proper pan.
Self-levelling compound over sloped farmhouse floors before large-format tile.
Replacing an undersized stock vanity with cabinetry built to the wall.
Quiet ducted fans and layered lighting on separate switches.

These four cover the majority of what we are asked for here. The full list runs to eight.

They spent two days levelling the floor before laying a single tile. Two winters on, nothing has moved.

Quiet, punctual and they cleaned up every single evening. My neighbour booked them before we were finished.

If yours is not here, call the studio. We would rather answer it now than have you guess.
Nine to twelve days for a conversion, three to five weeks for a full remodel, four to seven weeks for a larger ensuite. You get a week-by-week schedule at the pre-construction meeting and a photo update every Friday.
Yes, and we plan around it. We sequence the toilet so you lose it for a single day rather than the whole project, and we can arrange a temporary unit for the days when the floor is open.
We build a sealed dust wall at the doorway, run a negative-air machine while we demolish, cover the route from your front door, and vacuum at the end of every day. It is a construction site, but it stays contained to one room.
The crew arrives at 8 am and packs up by 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. We do not work weekends unless you ask us to, and we never start early without agreeing it with you first.
