Bathroom remodeling in Terre Haute

Full bathroom remodels, done by one team

A bathroom is a small room with a lot going on. Drain lines, supply lines, an exhaust fan, wiring near water, a waterproofed shower, tile, glass, a vanity and trim all have to fit in a room you can cross in three steps, and every one of those trades has to show up in the right order.

We take bathrooms down to the studs and subfloor and rebuild them as design/build projects. Our designer partner helps you lay out the room and pick the tile, vanity and fixtures. We pull the permits. Our crew does the demolition, framing, tile and finish carpentry, and we schedule and manage the plumbing and electrical. You get one agreement, one price and one company to call.

Our crew are professionals at high-end finishes, including tile, millwork and trim, and co-owner Ryan Bolinger runs day-to-day execution on every job. We’re registered as a general contractor with the City of Terre Haute (No. CL003471). We’re bonded and carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We remodel bathrooms in Terre Haute, Brazil, West Terre Haute, Clay City, Sullivan, Clinton, Linton and Greencastle, and across the state line in Marshall and Paris, Illinois.

What a bathroom remodel costs

That can sound like a lot for a small room. The reason is how many trades are packed into it: plumbing, electrical, framing, waterproofing, tile, glass and finish carpentry, each needing its own time on site. Here’s what moves a bathroom up or down the range:

• Size and layout. A hall bath with the tub staying in the same spot costs less than a primary bath where the shower, toilet and vanity all move.
• Moving plumbing. Relocating a toilet or shower drain means opening the floor and rerouting drain and vent lines. Leaving fixtures where they are saves real money.
• Tub, shower or both. A tub-to-shower conversion, a walk-in tiled shower and a freestanding tub are each a different scope.
• Tile or surround. A fully tiled shower takes more labor than an acrylic or composite surround. Some composite surrounds look like tile for less.
• Glass. A frameless glass enclosure costs more than a framed door or a curtain rod.
• Vanity and counters. A stock vanity costs less than custom cabinetry, and the top can be anything from cultured marble to quartz or granite.
• Comfort upgrades. Heated floors, a quieter exhaust fan, better lighting.
• Hidden damage. Rot around an old toilet flange, a soft subfloor or mold behind old tile. We price what we can see. Anything found at demolition goes on a written change order you approve before we do the work.

The bathroom remodel cost guide walks through each of these in more detail.

Design fee

A bathroom has to be designed before it can be priced properly instead of guessed at. You sign a short design agreement first, and bathroom design with our designer partner is $180 for the first room and $36 for each additional room. Two bathrooms, or a bathroom and a kitchen, means one first room and one additional room.

The parts you won’t see

The tile is what you’ll look at every morning. What makes it last is underneath it.

• Waterproofing. Tile and grout aren’t waterproof by themselves. We waterproof shower walls and floors with the Schluter-Kerdi sheet-membrane system before any tile goes up.
• Ventilation. The exhaust fan gets ducted to the outside, not into the attic, so the moisture leaves the house instead of soaking the roof deck.
• Subfloor. If the floor is soft, it gets fixed before new tile or flooring goes down. Tile laid over a flexing floor cracks.
• Blocking. While the walls are open, it’s easy to add wood blocking for grab bars, a heavy mirror or a wall-hung vanity later.
• Inspections. Rough-in plumbing and electrical get inspected before the walls close up.

Tile or a surround: the honest trade-off

A tiled shower can be any size, shape and pattern you want, with niches and a bench built in. It also takes more labor, costs more and leaves you grout lines to keep clean. An acrylic or composite surround goes in faster, has few seams and wipes down easily, but you’re choosing from the sizes and styles the manufacturer makes. Neither one is the wrong answer. We’ll price both if you’re undecided.

How a bathroom remodel runs

Call (812) 605-2560 or request an estimate online. Doug Stoliby, our sales manager, reaches out within 1 business day to learn about your bathroom and set up the onboarding meeting.

1. Onboarding meeting — By appointment. We talk through what’s working, what isn’t, your budget and your timeline.
2. Design agreement — Bathroom design is $180 for the first room and $36 for each additional room.
3. Design and selections — You choose the layout, tile, vanity, fixtures and glass with our designer partner.
4. Budget and proposal — One all-inclusive price, e-signed in JobTread. Proposals are good for 7 days.
5. Permits and scheduling — We pull the permits, order special-order items and set your start date.
6. Construction — We protect the house, gut the room, run new plumbing and wiring, pass the rough-in inspection, then waterproof, tile and set the vanity, fixtures, glass and trim. Written change orders and schedule updates come through your JobTread client portal.
7. Walkthrough and punch list — We go over everything with you and write a punch list, then issue a Notice of Substantial Completion. The final 10% is due once the punch list is finished.
8. Warranty — Our one-year workmanship warranty starts at substantial completion.

If it’s your only bathroom

Tell us at the onboarding meeting. A full-gut bathroom usually takes 3 to 5 weeks on site once the tile, vanity and fixtures arrive, and we’ll build the schedule with that in mind. Your proposal lists approximate start and completion dates. What stretches a bathroom schedule: special-order tile, vanities and fixtures; frameless shower glass, which can’t be measured until the tile is finished; inspection timing; and anything we find behind the old tile.

Dust, noise and daily cleanup

Tearing out a tiled bathroom is loud and dusty. Before the first tile comes off, a ZipWall barrier goes up in the doorway so the dust stays in the bathroom. Outside, plywood goes down where materials cross your lawn or driveway. At the end of every day the site gets cleaned and the debris hauled off, at our cost.

Every change, however small, gets a written change order with its own price that you approve before the work happens. More on our daily standards is on the how we work page.

Paying for a bathroom remodel

Bathroom remodels use our remodel payment schedule:

• 25% at signing
• 25% on day 1 of construction
• 25% at rough-in (after the rough-in inspection is completed, or when drywall is ready to begin)
• 15% at substantial completion
• 10% after the punch list is finished

Holding the last 10% until the punch list is done keeps the final details from slipping. You can pay online through the invoice link, by check or in cash.

Warranty

The one-year workmanship warranty starts at substantial completion and covers problems that come from our installation. Normal wear and tear, damage by others, weather and defects in the products themselves are excluded. Product defects go to the manufacturer, whose warranty passes through to you. Warranty visits are scheduled within 7 business days, and we build to the NAHB Residential Construction Performance Guidelines.

Who we’re not a fit for

We’d rather tell you now than waste your time or ours.

• The cheapest bid. If price is your only priority we likely aren't the right choice. You can always find a lower number. We price for specific quality materials, professional project management, plans & permits, proper insurance (liability & workers' comp) and livable wages for our crew.
• Small service calls. We don't take handyman jobs or small general repairs under about 4 hours. Roof repairs are a separate service.
• Standalone trade work. We don't do standalone HVAC, electrical or plumbing unless it's part of a larger design/build project.
