Stephen Bathroom

"Rick was a great guy to work with.  A man with great integrity and was always open and honest with us about all the details, from cost to the best layout design.  We really appreciated his insights on placement of doors, shelves, etc.  He was considerate of our time and he did his best to let us know when he would be coming and leaving.  He's thorough and his work high quality.  We're very happy with it."

Included in the finishing of Stephen's basement, I built their basement bathroom.  The first item of business was to find the tub drain, by removing the concrete where the tub should be and attaching the drain to the plumbing.

The next thing I had to move was the water softener.  It should have been in the mechanical room, but was installed on the bathroom side of the wall.


This is a beautiful new bathroom.  Stephen picked out all of these fixtures at Lowes.  Stephen, who chose to purchase his own materials, had all the fixtures waiting for me before I started the job.  

Whether I purchase the fixtures or you choose to, it is important to have all of the materials and fixtures on the job before the job begins.  In new construction there is a critical path which is kept, but in remodeling the critical path is different and not always predictable and can change with each job.
