Trusted Bathroom Remodeler in Metairie, LA

A standard full-bathroom remodel usually takes two to three weeks of active on-site work once demo starts. Smaller powder rooms or simple tub-to-shower swaps can finish in five to seven business days. Larger master bathrooms with structural wall shifts, complex tile layouts, or relocated plumbing can take roughly four weeks. We give you a realistic schedule upfront so you can adjust your household routines accordingly.

Yes. Small powder rooms often require more thoughtful planning than large bathrooms because every inch of floor space counts. Mounting a wall-hung vanity, swapping in a compact toilet, or placing an accent tile wall can make a tight half-bath feel twice as large. We bring the exact same plumbing standards and tile work to half-baths as we do to master suites.

Controlling moisture requires two things: stopping water behind the wall and venting humid air out of the room. We install waterproof sheet membranes or thick liquid rubber coatings over cement board inside every shower enclosure. To clear out steamy air quickly, we install properly sized exhaust fans vented directly through an exterior wall or the roof - never dumped into your attic space.

Moving fixtures is a regular part of full remodel work. The process depends heavily on your floor foundation. On raised homes with crawlspaces under the subfloor, rerouting drain pipes and water supply lines is straightforward. On concrete slab foundations, moving a toilet or shower drain requires cutting into the concrete, digging out trenches for new waste lines, and repouring concrete. We check your foundation during our first walk-through to explain what moving plumbing will involve.

Porcelain tile is the solid choice for shower walls and floors because it is non-porous and resists water completely. For vanity tops, quartz is ideal because it never needs periodic sealing like natural granite or marble. When selecting vanity cabinets, cabinet boxes made from solid plywood with sealed exterior finishes withstand humidity far better than cheap particle board.

Overall project costs come down to three main factors: physical room size, material choices, and layout changes. Custom marble tile, solid wood vanities, and moving heavy drain lines naturally increase labor hours and material expenses compared to keeping existing pipe locations and using standard fixtures. We provide itemized estimates upfront so you see where every dollar goes before work begins.

Cosmetic changes - like replacing a mirror, painting walls, or swapping a vanity in the exact same spot - do not require building permits. If the project involves moving plumbing drains, adding electrical outlets, or removing structural walls, a permit is required by parish code. CMC's Contracting handles all plan submissions, pulls the necessary permits, and coordinates municipal inspections on your behalf.

Clear out all personal items from cabinets, medicine chests, and shower ledges before the start date. Take down framed photos or wall art on neighboring room walls, as demolition vibrations can shake walls. Finally, make sure there is a clear pathway from your entrance to the bathroom so our crew can move materials, tools, and heavy debris safely.
