A bathroom remodel is the most impactful way to boost your home’s value, functionality and looks. If you’re looking for a full bathroom renovation or a simple bathroom makeover, understanding the bathroom remodel process will help ensure a successful bathroom renovation.
At GYB Construction we specialize in high end bathroom remodeling in Monmouth and Ocean County, NJ turning outdated spaces into dream bathrooms.
Here are the steps of the bathroom remodel process from demo to final reveal to help you plan your next project with confidence.
Planning and Budgeting
A successful bathroom remodel starts with planning. You’ll need to decide on the layout, style and features of your dream bathroom. During this stage consider:
- The bathroom remodel cost which includes materials, labor and unexpected expenses.
- Preferred bathroom fixtures such as sinks, faucets, toilets, bathtubs and other essentials.
- Layout and design – do you want a walk-in shower, a shower stall or a traditional tub?
- DIY bathroom remodel vs hiring pros for a smoother and higher quality finish.
Once you have a clear vision GYB Construction will help refine your plans and provide expert recommendations to maximize style and functionality.
Demo and Removal
With a plan in place the bathroom remodel process begins with demo. Our team removes old bathroom fixtures, wall tile, flooring and outdated plumbing and electrical systems.
The process starts by shutting off the water supply and electricity to ensure a safe work environment. Then sinks, toilets, bathtubs and other fixtures are removed. We also tear down old shower walls and outdated cabinets. Finally we inspect plumbing and electrical wiring to see what needs to be updated. A clean and precise demo sets the stage for a smooth renovation so the newly remodeled bathroom has a solid foundation.
Plumbing and Electrical Updates
Before we install new fixtures we need to address plumbing and electrical needs. Our experts at GYB Construction will make sure all plumbing and electrical systems are up to code and functional. This includes:
- Installing new water supply and drain lines as needed.
- Upgrading electrical wiring to support modern lighting, exhaust fans and outlets.* GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for added safety.
- Proper water pressure for showers and sinks.
By investing in quality plumbing and electrical updates you’ll avoid future problems and increase the efficiency of your bathroom remodel.
Shower Walls, Tubs and Fixtures
With the systems in place it’s time to install the main components of your bathroom. We install walk-in shower or shower stall with custom-tiled shower walls, glass enclosures and high end showerheads. If you want a tub we ensure proper placement and plumbing connections. We install new bathroom fixtures including vanities, sinks and toilets aligning with your design and functional needs.
At this point your bathroom is taking shape and you get a glimpse of the finished project.
Wall Tile and Floor Tile
Tile selection is key to the overall look and durability of your bathroom. We work with various materials including ceramic, porcelain and natural stone to create stunning shower walls and floors.
- Installing waterproof backing before wall tile.
- Carefully placing and grouting shower walls for a smooth finish.
- Laying floor tile that matches your design and provides slip resistance.
With expert craftsmanship GYB Construction ensures your tile work enhances the beauty and longevity of your newly remodeled bathroom.
Painting and Finishing
Once the tile work is complete it’s time for painting and final touches. We apply moisture-resistant paint to prevent mold and mildew and ensure the longevity of your bathroom walls. We install trim, mirrors, shelving and accessories that are functional and stylish. Finally we add lighting fixtures to enhance ambiance and functionality. The finishing touches bring the entire bathroom remodel together and turn the construction into completion.
Final Reveal and Walkthrough
The final step of the bathroom remodel is the final reveal. Our team does a final walkthrough with the homeowner to ensure everything is perfect.
- Provide maintenance tips to keep your newly remodeled bathroom looking and working great.
- Check for any adjustments.
- Test plumbing and electrical systems to make sure everything is working as it should.
