Different Types of Cape Cod Bathroom Remodel Projects

Bathroom Design Refresh

A bathroom design refresh involves updating the look and feel of your room without changing the overall layout. This is a great option if you want to update the style or design of your room but don’t need to make any major functional changes.

A bathroom design refresh project usually involves new paint or wallpaper, updating cabinet hardware, or adding window treatments. It may include simple fixture changes like lights or faucets. If your project requires changes to the electrical and plumbing, or structural changes like opening or moving a wall, it would fall under our bathroom remodel category.

Complete Bathroom Remodel

A bathroom remodel is a more involved project. You’ll likely be changing the layout of the room, adding/removing walls or changing the location of the vanity, toilet, or shower. This size project will often require changes to the plumbing and electrical systems, which includes getting the appropriate permits and bringing the existing construction up to the current building code.

Material selections play a large factor in your project’s cost. For example, a tile shower wall is significantly more expensive than an acrylic enclosure. Our design/build team will provide recommendations and options to maximize your budget while still achieving your vision.
