A bathroom renovation lives or dies on what's behind the tile, not the tile itself. Under Remodeler, bathroom renovation is where the invisible work matters more than any other room in the house — get the waterproofing wrong, and you won't know it until the damage is already done.

Why Spruce Pine Homeowners Choose Us for Bathroom Renovation

Bathroom renovations are where corners get cut without anyone noticing — because a rushed waterproofing job looks exactly like a good one on the day it's finished. The difference shows up two or three years later, in soft subfloor, moldy grout lines, or a stain spreading across the ceiling below. Francisco treats waterproofing as the part of the job that actually determines whether a bathroom renovation was worth doing, not a step to move past quickly on the way to picking tile. That mindset applies to every bathroom we build, whether it's a full gut renovation or a straightforward tub-to-shower swap — the visible finishes get the same attention as the parts that go behind the wall. We're based right here in Spruce Pine, so if something ever does need a second look after the fact, you're calling the same builder who did the work.

What's Included in a Bathroom Renovation

Bathroom renovation covers layout, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, and finishes — moving a vanity or converting a tub to a shower means relocating water lines and drains, and bathrooms need dedicated GFCI-protected circuits near any water source. Ventilation matters more here than almost any other room, since a bathroom without enough exhaust just traps the moisture the waterproofing is trying to manage in the first place. We handle all of it as one project, from the framing and plumbing you won't see again to the tile, fixtures, and lighting you will, so nothing gets treated as someone else's problem once the walls are closed up.

Why Waterproofing Is the Part That Actually Matters

Tile isn't waterproof — water and vapor pass through grout and tile more than most homeowners realize, which means what actually keeps your bathroom dry is the membrane and prep work behind it, not the tile itself.

"Tile isn't waterproof. What keeps water out is the membrane behind it."

Older bathroom construction often relied on a sloped mortar bed and small weep holes to drain whatever moisture got through, but those weep holes clog with soap residue over time, trapping moisture instead of draining it. A properly installed, fully sealed waterproof membrane behind the tile keeps water from ever reaching the subfloor or framing in the first place — the difference between a bathroom that lasts decades and one that's quietly rotting behind a wall that still looks fine from the front.

Tub-to-Shower Conversions and Walk-In Showers

Converting a tub to a walk-in shower is one of the most requested bathroom projects we do, and it's rarely just about style. A lot of Spruce Pine homeowners are thinking ahead — a step-in shower with a bench and blocking in the walls for grab bars, even if you don't need them yet, is a lot easier to build now than to retrofit later.

Built for Today

Step-in access, non-slip flooring, a bench if you want one.

Ready for Later

Wall blocking in place for grab bars, even before you need them.

Worth Keeping in Mind

If you have more than one bathroom, keeping a tub somewhere helps resale.

We'll talk through what makes sense for your household, not just convert every tub in the house because it's trending.
