Bathroom Remodeling
Spa-quality bathrooms with premium tile, fixtures and finishes.
Materials
What we install vs. what corner-cutters use.
Waterproofing
Full KERDI or Wedi membrane, corners banded, pan pre-sloped
Cement board + plastic sheeting
Why it matters: A bonded waterproof layer is the only thing that keeps water out of the framing for 30+ years.
Shower pan
Pre-sloped foam pan or hot-mopped mud bed
Deck mud dumped and hoped for the best
Why it matters: Correct slope + integrated drain means no standing water, no mold.
Tile setting
Modified thinset, backbuttered, 95%+ coverage
5-spot dabs of mastic
Why it matters: Full coverage prevents hollow spots that crack under weight.
Plumbing
Pressure-balanced valves, accessible shutoffs, PEX runs
Legacy compression fittings under drywall
Why it matters: Modern valves prevent scalds; accessible shutoffs prevent future demo.
Ventilation
110+ CFM fan on a timer, ducted to a roof cap
Fan venting into the attic
Why it matters: Attic-vented moisture is the #1 cause of hidden mold and rotted rafters.

Why us
Why homeowners pick Modern Builders for bathroom remodeling.
Bathrooms are where cheap builds fail first. We waterproof to Schluter/KERDI spec, use real mortar-set tile, and vent every fan to the exterior. If it can leak, we test it before we close it up.
FAQs
Answers before you ask.
How long is the bathroom unusable?+
Typically the full duration — but if it's your only bath we build a schedule that gets the shower running as fast as possible.
Do you offer curbless showers?+
Yes. They require a lowered subfloor and proper linear drain — we do it right, not with a ramp.
Can you match old tile?+
For repairs, sometimes. For a whole remodel we recommend new tile floor-to-ceiling for a warrantable waterproofing system.
