Waterproofing is the whole job
Everything visible in a bathroom — tile, fixtures, vanity — sits on top of the part that actually matters. A shower is a waterproofing assembly with tile glued to it. When that assembly is built wrong, water gets into the framing and you don't find out until there's damage.
We build showers with proper waterproofing systems, correctly sloped pans, and sealed penetrations. It's invisible work and it's the reason to hire a licensed contractor instead of the cheapest bid.
Adding a bathroom to a basement
This is one of our most common requests, and the cost hinges almost entirely on plumbing. If your builder stubbed in a rough drain — very common in newer Lehi, Vineyard, and Traverse Mountain homes — you're in good shape and the bathroom lands near the low end of the range.
If there's no stub, adding a basement bathroom means cutting the concrete slab to run drain lines, or installing an up-flush system if gravity drainage isn't practical. We identify which situation you're in during the first visit, because it's a several-thousand-dollar difference and you should know before you plan.
Aging in place
A growing share of the bathroom work in this corridor is about staying in the house longer — curbless walk-in showers, blocking in the walls for future grab bars, comfort-height fixtures, and wider door openings.
Even if it isn't needed yet, adding blocking behind the tile during a remodel costs almost nothing and makes a future grab bar a twenty-minute job instead of a wall repair.

What the process looks like
- Consultation. We assess existing plumbing, ventilation, and the floor structure, then put a written number to it.
- Selections. Tile, fixtures, vanity, and glass chosen before demolition — tile and glass lead times are the usual schedule risk.
- Demolition and rough-in. Tear out to studs, then plumbing and electrical rough-in, then inspection.
- Waterproofing and tile. The stage that determines whether this bathroom lasts twenty years or two.
- Finish. Vanity, fixtures, glass, paint, trim. Walkthrough and punch list.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does a bathroom remodel cost?
- Most land between $12,000 and $40,000. A guest bath with a tub-shower combo and standard finishes sits at the low end; a primary suite with a custom tiled walk-in shower, double vanity, and heated floor sits at the high end. Tile complexity and glass are frequently underestimated by homeowners pricing this out.
- Can you add a bathroom to my unfinished basement?
- Yes, and it's one of our most common projects. Cost depends almost entirely on whether your builder stubbed in a drain. Newer homes in Lehi, Vineyard, and Traverse Mountain usually did. Older Orem and Pleasant Grove homes usually didn't, which means cutting the slab or using an up-flush system. We check on the first visit.
- How long will the bathroom be out of service?
- Three to five weeks for a full remodel. If it's your only bathroom, tell us up front — we'll sequence the work to compress the unusable window as much as possible, though there's no way to make it zero.
- Tub or walk-in shower?
- Practically, most people use a shower daily and a tub rarely. The one caution: if it's the only bathroom in the house, removing the last tub can narrow your buyer pool at resale, since families with small children look for one. If you have a tub elsewhere, converting to a walk-in shower is usually the better daily-use decision.

Your basement is already framed, already under roof, and already connected to utilities. Finishing it costs a fraction of building an addition and a small fraction of moving — and in a market this tight, that math is hard to argue with.
