What a Proper Remodeling Process — and Post-Installation Care — Really Looks Like
Introduction
A bathroom remodel isn’t just about new tiles or a modern vanity — it’s about comfort, functionality, and knowing every detail was done right. At LC Carpentry, we don’t just “install and leave.” We take pride in a remodeling process that respects your time, your home, and your vision — all the way through the final finish and beyond.
And just as important as the remodel itself is what comes after: how to protect and maintain your new bathroom so it looks great and works perfectly for years to come.
What to Expect During a Bathroom Remodel with LC Carpentry
From demolition to final polish — we’re with you at every step
1.
Initial Consultation & Planning
We start by understanding your goals, space, and style. We’ll take measurements, talk about layouts, and help you choose materials that fit your taste and budget.
2.
Demolition & Preparation
Our team carefully removes old fixtures, tile, and drywall while protecting the rest of your home. Dust control and cleanliness are priorities from day one.
3.
Plumbing & Electrical Work
We coordinate licensed professionals to ensure every line, drain, outlet, and switch is installed up to code — and exactly where you want it.
4.
Framing, Insulation & Drywall
We rebuild or reinforce walls if needed, insulate properly (especially around showers and tubs), and install moisture-resistant drywall for long-term protection.
5.
Flooring & Tiling
We handle floor leveling, waterproofing membranes, and precise tile installation — whether it’s ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone.
6.
Cabinetry, Fixtures & Finish Work
Sinks, vanities, mirrors, lighting, trim, and custom details — everything comes together to match your vision with flawless finishing.
Post-Installation Protection: What Makes the Difference in Quality
The remodel is done — now what?
A quality bathroom isn’t just about how it looks on the final day. It’s also about how it performs after we leave. Here’s how we help protect your investment:
Silicone Sealing and Waterproofing
We seal all critical joints (corners, tub edges, sinks, shower doors) with high-quality, mold-resistant silicone — and we give you tips to keep it clean.
Grout Sealing
For natural stone or porous tile, sealing grout prevents stains and moisture absorption. We apply sealants and explain when to reapply for long-term durability.
Ventilation Check
A good fan makes a huge difference. We make sure your exhaust system is functioning properly to avoid future moisture problems.
Final Walkthrough and Care Guide
We walk through every detail with you, checking all functionality, finishes, and cleanliness. Then we leave you with a simple care guide — no guesswork needed.
How to Keep Your Bathroom Looking Like New
- Wipe down wet areas daily (especially glass and tiles)
- Use gentle, non-acidic cleaners to protect grout and finishes
- Routinely inspect caulking and reapply if needed (usually after a year or two)
- Keep air flowing — run the fan during and after showers
A Bathroom Built to Last — With Care That Shows
