Bathroom Renovation
Bathroom Renovation

We design and build bathrooms for Montreal homeowners who want a finished result that is precise, durable, and built exactly to their taste. Whether you are updating a tired main bathroom in a NDG semi-detached, adding a second bathroom to a Laval family home, or building out a master ensuite from scratch in a new construction on the South Shore, we handle every element under one roof with a single point of contact throughout.
Our process starts with understanding what is and is not working in your current bathroom. We review the existing layout, the condition of the waterproofing and subfloor, and what your priorities are — whether that is a walk-in shower to replace a rarely-used tub, a double vanity for a busy family bathroom, heated tile flooring, or a complete ensuite buildout with custom tile work and a freestanding bath.
Our scope covers the full project from demolition to final detail. That includes full demolition and subfloor preparation, waterproofing membrane installation, tile selection and installation on floors and walls, custom shower design and buildout, vanity and fixture installation, mirror and lighting work, storage solutions, ventilation, and all finishing details including grout sealing and hardware installation. We coordinate all licensed trades including plumbing and electrical under one contract.
Waterproofing is where most bathroom renovations fail — not in the tile selection or the fixture choices, but in the substrate work underneath. We do not cut corners on this. Every shower and wet area is properly waterproofed before a single tile goes down, which is why our work holds up and why we can stand behind it.
We work across the full range of bathroom renovation scope. Powder room updates are at the compact end — a new vanity, fresh tile, updated fixtures, and lighting can transform a powder room in under a week. Main bathroom renovations typically involve a full gut, new tile throughout, a reconfigured shower or tub area, new vanity, and updated lighting and ventilation. Master ensuite buildouts are our most involved bathroom projects and often include large-format floor tile, full-height shower tile, custom niches, a freestanding soaking tub, double vanities, and integrated storage.
We also handle tub-to-shower conversions, which are among the most requested updates in Montreal homes where a full bathtub is no longer being used. This involves removing the existing tub, reconfiguring the plumbing, waterproofing the new shower footprint, and installing a custom-tiled walk-in shower with the glass enclosure of your choice.
We guide tile and fixture selection based on your aesthetic, your maintenance preferences, and what will perform well in a wet environment over the long term. Large-format porcelain and natural stone are our most commonly specified floor and wall materials. For fixtures, we work with suppliers across a range of price points in finishes including matte black, brushed gold, brushed nickel, and polished chrome. Radiant in-floor heating is available on any project where the subfloor conditions allow for it, and we include it in the scope whenever a client wants it.
Bathroom renovation is a trade where the quality of the result depends almost entirely on the quality of the execution — not just the materials. The tile setter who does not back-butter properly, the installer who skips the schluter profile at the shower threshold, the contractor who waterproofs with paint instead of membrane: these are the mistakes that lead to leaks, mold, and retiling within five years. Our clients choose us because they want it done once, done right, and backed by a team that will answer the phone if something needs attention after the project closes.
Most bathroom renovations take two to three weeks depending on scope and material lead times. Larger ensuites or projects with special-order tile and fixtures may take longer. Powder room updates can be completed in five to seven business days. We provide a written estimate and project timeline before work begins with transparent pricing and no hidden costs.

FAQ
Most standard bathroom renovations take two to three weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Powder room updates can be completed in five to seven business days. Larger master ensuite projects with custom tile work, special-order fixtures, or structural changes can run three to five weeks. We confirm the timeline in writing before work begins and build material lead times into the schedule so delays do not extend the project unexpectedly.
Bathroom renovation costs vary by size, scope, and material selection. A powder room refresh with a new vanity, tile, and fixtures typically starts around $8,000 to $12,000. A full main bathroom renovation with new tile throughout, a custom shower, and updated fixtures generally falls between $18,000 and $35,000. A full master ensuite buildout with large-format tile, a freestanding tub, custom glass, and premium fixtures can reach $40,000 to $65,000 or more. We provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins with a line-by-line cost breakdown.
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most requested projects. The process involves removing the existing tub and surround, reconfiguring the plumbing drain and supply lines, preparing and waterproofing the new shower footprint, installing a custom-tiled walk-in shower with your choice of shower system and glass enclosure. The finished result is a fully tiled, properly waterproofed walk-in shower built to the same standard as a new construction bathroom. Most tub-to-shower conversions are completed within the standard two to three week project window.
Yes. Radiant in-floor heating is something we incorporate during the tile installation phase and is available on any bathroom project where the subfloor conditions are suitable. We use electric radiant mat systems under tile, which are energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and controlled by a programmable thermostat. Heated floors are most commonly added to master ensuites and primary bathrooms, but we install them in any bathroom where the client wants them. The cost to add heated flooring to a bathroom renovation is typically between $800 and $1,800 depending on the floor area.
Waterproofing is the most critical — and most commonly compromised — step in any bathroom renovation. We use a full membrane waterproofing system in all shower and wet areas, applied to the substrate before any tile work begins. This is not a painted-on waterproof coating. It is a continuous, bonded membrane that prevents water from reaching the framing and subfloor regardless of grout condition over time. We also install proper transition profiles and slope the shower floor correctly for drainage. This is the work that determines whether a bathroom lasts ten years or thirty, and we do not cut corners on it.
