We show up when we say
A set time that works for you, not a vague four-hour window.
Beautiful Bathroom. Better Plumbing.
Most remodelers cover old plumbing with new tile. Most plumbers hand you off to someone else for the finished room. Renova does both, so one accountable company coordinates the project from behind the walls through the finished remodel.
- Inspect before demolition. We look at the existing drains and water lines, often with a sewer camera, so there are no surprises once walls open.
- Diagnose honestly. You see what we found and hear what it means.
- Repair what is needed. Failing drains and supply lines are replaced while the floor and walls are open, and every connection is tested before it is covered.
- Build the finished room. Shower, tile, vanity and fixtures go in on plumbing that will last.
