Floors & Tiles

About These Projects

Floors get stained and damaged, especially in high traffic areas and homes with kids & pets. Tile shapes, materials, and sizes continue to change, so it’s easy to spot an outdated look. Replace your flooring and tile to refresh your home. This quick renovation is a less expensive way to update your home than a complete remodel.

    9.Floors

    #BEFORE The tiles and drywall were removed to the studs to prepare this shower for new tiles and plumbing. The tracks for the glass shower doors (which we also removed) and decades of use damaged the bathtub’s surface, so we brought in a specialist to reglaze it with a smooth finish. Hiring an expert to repair discoloration and chips in the tub was significantly more affordable than removing and replacing it.

    First, we installed the plumbing for the wall-mounted shower head, hand-held shower head with hose, and tub spout. Then we tiled and added the decorative features with a row of squares rotated to be diamonds, soap ledge, and rounded top edge. Our precision work turned simple materials in a standard bathtub into a touch of luxury!
