about Bathroom Renovations
Bathroom renovations require careful coordination of waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, and finish trades to produce a safe, comfortable, and attractive space. Precision Built Construction has been delivering bathroom remodels in Aromas and nearby communities since 2004. From modest refreshes to full wet-area reconfigurations, our team focuses on long-term performance, compliant installation practices, and finishes selected for durability and ease of maintenance.
Why bathroom renovations matter
Bathrooms are high-use environments exposed to moisture, daily wear, and water-related failure modes. A bathroom renovation improves comfort, accessibility, energy and water use, and resale value. Properly executed waterproofing and ventilation are critical to prevent mold, structural damage, and costly repairs. Beyond addressing functional needs, bathroom updates can create more relaxing, spa-like experiences and accommodate changing household needs such as aging-in-place features.
Key benefits of a professional bathroom renovation
Long-term moisture protection through correct waterproofing systems
Improved ventilation and indoor air quality
More efficient plumbing fixtures to save water and lower bills
Better accessibility and safety features (grab bars, curbless showers)
Up-to-date aesthetic and durable finishes that stand up to repeated use
Permits and inspections handled so work is compliant and documented
Common bathroom renovation scopes
Partial remodels: Replace fixtures, tile, and finishes while maintaining existing layout.
Full remodels: Reconfigure layout, move plumbing fixtures, and install new systems and finishes.
Accessibility upgrades: Curbless showers, grab bar reinforcement, adjustable heights.
Master bathroom overhauls: Larger footprints, luxury tile work, dual vanities, heated floors.
Secondary bathroom refreshes:
Efficient updates to guest or hall bathrooms for improved function and resale value.
Our bathroom renovation process
01
Consultation and needs assessment
We discuss how you use the bathroom, accessibility needs, and desired aesthetics. We inspect existing conditions, plumbing access, and structural limitations.
02
Scope and estimate
We provide a detailed estimate including waterproofing, tile labor, fixtures, valves, cabinetry, and allowances for sinks, counters, and selected finishes. We outline timeline contingencies for inspections and curing times.
03
Design and selection support
We assist with fixture selection, tile recommendations, and material durability guidance appropriate for wet environments. If required, we coordinate with designers for full layout updates.
04
Permit and pre-construction
We prepare permit filings when required and set a project timeline. Long-lead items like custom vanities or specialty tiles are ordered early.
05
Construction and stage inspections
Work proceeds through demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile and finish installation. We schedule required inspections for plumbing and structural work.
06
Final finish and commissioning
We complete final fixtures, sealing, and provide owner walkthrough with maintenance and warranty documentation.
Waterproofing and tile systems — why they matter
Waterproofing is the critical backbone of any wet-area project. We use manufacturer-recommended membranes, proper drains, and correct substrate preparation to ensure longevity. Proper substrate, mortar mixes for tile, and correct slope toward drains are essential. Cutting corners on waterproofing often results in leaks, rot, and expensive corrective work. Our teams install tile with attention to joint spacing, grout selection, and sealing to ensure a durable finish.
Accessibility and aging-in-place considerations
Adding features for future mobility needs can be done without sacrificing style. Examples include:
Curbless shower entries with appropriate slopes and drains
Built-in benches and niches
Reinforced walls for future grab bar installation
Lever-style handles and thermostatic valve controls for safety
These features can be incorporated during a renovation to provide comfort and independence while maintaining design intent.
Fixture and material recommendations
Shower systems
Tile or acrylic pans with licensed waterproofing systems; thermostatic valves for safety
Toilets and fixtures
Low-flow toilets, wall-hung options for easier cleaning when desired
Vanities and counters
Moisture-resistant cabinetry and quartz or engineered stone for durability
Flooring
Slip-resistant tile, waterproof LVT, or appropriate sealed wood alternatives
Ventilation
Properly sized ventilation fans with exterior ducting to remove moisture
Energy and water efficiency
We recommend low-flow fixtures, efficient lighting, and properly sized ventilation to reduce energy and water consumption. These upgrades often qualify for rebates and reduce long-term operating costs while improving comfort.
Permits and inspections
Many bathroom renovations require permits for plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work. We prepare and submit permit applications, schedule inspections and ensure the project complies with local code requirements for safety and resale documentation.
Timeline examples
Simple refresh
1–2 weeks
Mid-range remodel
2–4 weeks
Full gut-and-replace with layout change and waterproofing
4–8+ weeks, depending on scope and permit timing
Frequently asked questions
Do you replace plumbing lines during a bathroom remodel?
When necessary or when accessing lines for relocation, we replace tired plumbing and ensure proper venting and drain slope. Replacing old lines can prevent future leaks and failures.
Can you make my bathroom accessible without a large renovation?
Some accessibility upgrades are modest (lever handles, handrails, raised toilets). For curbless showers or layout changes, more extensive remodeling is required to adjust drainage and floor slopes.
How do you prevent mold in bathroom renovations?
Proper waterproofing, correct substrate, adequate ventilation, and appropriate material choices (water-resistant backer board, sealed fixtures) significantly reduce mold risk. We follow industry best-practices for wet-area construction.
What maintenance is required for tile and grout?
Regular cleaning with pH-neutral cleaners, re-sealing grout where applicable, and keeping a fully functioning ventilation system will maintain tile and grout appearance and performance.
