Full bathroom remodels in Columbus, GA — stud-out and done right.

What "full remodel" actually covers

A full bathroom remodel is the difference between "we swapped some things out" and "we rebuilt the room." Everything comes out. Everything gets replaced. The walls, floor, tub or shower, toilet, vanity, plumbing rough-in, wiring, ventilation, and every fixture and finish. You choose the layout and the finishes; we handle the sequencing, the trades, and the permits with Muscogee (or Harris) County.

Scope of work

• Full demolition, dust-controlled and hauled off-site.
• Rework or replace supply and drain plumbing to current code.
• Update electrical: GFCI-protected outlets, dedicated circuits, new lighting, exhaust fan sized to the room.
• Repair or replace subfloor, and level for tile.
• Waterproofing membrane in the shower area (Schluter or equivalent) — done to spec.
• New tile: floor, walls, or full-height shower surround.
• New tub, shower pan, or curbless shower base.
• Glass shower enclosure or shower door.
• New vanity, countertop, sink(s), faucet(s), and mirror(s).
• New toilet, comfort-height or standard.
• Paint, trim, and finish carpentry.
• Any required permits pulled and inspections coordinated on your behalf.

What actually drives the cost of a full remodel

No two bathrooms cost the same, and any number quoted before someone has stood in your room is a guess. What actually moves your price is concrete, and we walk you through every piece of it on the in-home visit:

• How much plumbing has to move. Keeping fixtures where they are is far simpler than relocating a drain — and in a slab-on-grade home, moving a drain means opening the slab.
• Shower tile vs. a prefab surround. A fully tiled, waterproofed shower is more labor and material than a standard alcove surround.
• The size of the room. More square footage means more tile, more waterproofing, and more finish work.
• Your finish level. Builder-grade, mid-range, and premium fixtures, tile, and stone each land in a different place — and that call is yours, not ours.
• What's behind the walls. Old cast-iron drains, dated wiring, or rotted subfloor found on demo day belong on the quote up front, not sprung on you later.

We put every one of those on an itemized, fixed written quote after a free in-home visit — so you see exactly where your money goes before any work starts.

2. Week 2 — Waterproofing, backer board, floor tile.
3. Week 3 — Wall tile, shower pan or tub set, drywall repair.
4. Week 4 — Vanity, countertop, toilet, faucet, trim, paint.
5. Week 5 — Glass measured (about a week lead time), lighting, punch list, final inspection.
6. Week 6 — Glass installed, final walk-through, keys back to you.

Master baths and homes with moved walls or older plumbing add time. A solid quote comes with an actual calendar — not a range.

Local specifics for Columbus homes

Older homes in Uptown and Wynnton frequently have cast-iron drain stacks that are due for replacement. In slab-on-grade homes across Midland and North Columbus, moving a drain means opening the slab — a real cost line that should be spelled out, not hidden inside a range. Newer Fortson and Cataula construction is generally straightforward, though we do occasionally find polybutylene supply lines that should be replaced while walls are open. All of this shows up on the itemized quote before demo day.
