Bathroom Remodel in Progress in Littleton CO

Here's a look at what a bathroom remodel actually looks like before the pretty part begins. Most homeowners only see the finished tile and fixtures. What they don't see is everything that has to happen first - and getting that foundation right is what separates a remodel that lasts from one that causes headaches down the road.

One of the most important steps in any shower build is waterproofing. That bright red membrane you're seeing isn't just for show. It's a liquid-applied waterproof barrier that gets coated over the shower walls and floor before a single tile goes up. Every seam, every corner, every niche gets covered. If this step gets skipped or rushed, water finds its way into the framing - and that's when you're looking at mold, rot, and a much bigger problem. We don't skip it.

The plumbing side of this job is just as involved. We ran new PEX piping through the wall cavity, routed to a central manifold that gives clean, organized control over the water supply. PEX is flexible, freeze-resistant, and built to last. It's a big upgrade over older rigid pipe setups, and doing it right at this stage means no issues hiding behind the walls later. You can also see the drain and floor framing all squared away before the subfloor goes back in.

This is the kind of work that takes real experience to do correctly. Our remodeling and construction services cover every phase of a project like this - from demolition and rough-in plumbing all the way through the finished tile, fixtures, and paint. We manage the whole thing so you're not trying to juggle multiple contractors and hope it all lines up.
