Tired of a Bathroom That Was Never Built for Your Family?
A lot of bathrooms up here date back to when the house was a weekend getaway. That shows up as one cramped bath for the whole family, a tub nobody uses, a fan that vents into the attic or doesn’t exist, soft subfloor around the toilet, and supply lines on an outside wall that freeze every January. Patching one piece at a time just moves the problem around.
A Bathroom Built Around How You Use It
A full remodel fixes the parts you see and the parts you don’t. We replace aging supply and drain lines, repair the subfloor, waterproof the shower properly, duct the exhaust fan outside, and lay the room out so it works for the people using it every day. Then we finish it with tile, fixtures, and storage that will still look right years from now.
We Handle Everything. Permits, Demo, Build, Inspections. You Just Show Up With A Finished bathroom.
Most bathroom remodels involve a plumber, an electrician, a tile setter, and a drywall crew, and the schedule slips every time one of them doesn’t show. We keep it in-house: design, permitting, demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, and finish work. One point of contact. One contract. One crew that shows up until the bathroom is done. Get a free walkthrough and find out what your bathroom can become.

Bathroom Remodeling in Show Low: Common Questions
How long does bathroom remodeling in Show Low take?
Most bathroom remodels take about 3 to 6 weeks on site, with larger primary-bath rebuilds running longer.
A fixture-and-finish refresh lands at the short end. Moving plumbing, rebuilding a shower, or fixing subfloor pushes it longer, plus permitting time up front. Tile, vanity, and glass lead times drive the schedule as much as labor does. We build the calendar around your actual scope at the walkthrough.
Does a bathroom remodel need a permit?
It depends on the scope and whether the home is inside Show Low city limits or out in the county.
Cosmetic updates like paint or swapping a fixture in place often don’t need one. Moving plumbing, adding circuits, or changing walls usually does. Show Low inspections have to be called in 24 hours ahead, and parcels outside the city go through Navajo County. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections as part of the job.
Can you turn our tub into a walk-in shower?
Yes, and it’s a popular change, especially for owners planning to stay long-term.
We remove the tub, move the drain if needed, build a properly waterproofed shower pan, and can go curbless or low-curb. We also add blocking in the walls for grab bars now or later. On cabins over a crawlspace, we check the floor framing before we commit to a layout.
Can you move the toilet, shower, or vanity to a new spot?
Usually, and what it takes depends on what’s under the floor.
Over a crawlspace, rerouting drains is fairly straightforward. On a slab, we cut and patch concrete. Every relocated drain needs proper slope and venting, and that is what sets the cost. We map the plumbing before we quote, so the price doesn’t move mid-project.
Our bathroom is 40+ years old. What do you look for behind the walls?
On older White Mountains homes, the hidden problems usually matter more than the finishes.
We look for galvanized or polybutylene supply lines, failing drains, rotted subfloor around the toilet and tub, missing GFCI protection, and fans that dump moisture into the attic. While the walls are open is the cheapest time to fix all of it. Our guide to building a custom home in Show Low covers the code standards we remodel to.
How do you keep moisture and mold from coming back?
By building the shower and the ventilation right, and code requires part of that.
We install a waterproof membrane behind shower tile and duct the exhaust fan directly outside, since code doesn’t allow bathroom exhaust to dump into the attic or crawl space. Exterior-wall supply lines get insulated or rerouted. If there’s active mold or water damage already, we’re not a restoration company. A remediation company clears it first, then we handle the rebuild as your general contractor.
Can we keep using the house while you remodel the bathroom?
Yes, and if it’s your only bathroom, we plan around that from day one.
Most clients stay home through a bathroom remodel. When it’s the only one in the house, we talk through options at the walkthrough, like sequencing the work to limit downtime. You’ll know exactly how long the water will be off before we start.
I live in the Valley. How do you keep me updated on a remodel I can't drive up to every week?
One point of contact and regular photo updates, so you always know what happened this week.
Plenty of our remodel clients live in the Phoenix area and get up here once a month at best. We send progress photos, raise selections and decisions before they turn into delays, and schedule walkthroughs around your trips. You are never guessing what your money bought.
Can you work from plans or a designer we already have?
Yes, and we can also design the bathroom from scratch or work from ideas you have been saving.
Some clients arrive with a full design, some with a designer already hired, and some with nothing but a bathroom they’re tired of. All three work. If you have plans, we review them against Show Low code and what we find once the walls are open. If you don’t, we start with design.
