How the Job Works
Step 1: Talk it through
Tell us what you want the bathroom to be. We ask about scope, timeline and budget, and give you an honest read on the plumbing.
Step 2: 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.
Step 3: Diagnose honestly
You see what we found and hear what it means. If the old pipe is sound, we leave it. If not, we explain the options.
