A Bathtub for the First Time!!!


We're in the home stretch on this bathroom remodel, just finishing up trim work and a little drywall. This one was a full transformation: new LVT flooring, a Sentrel PVC shower system with a new tub, a new vanity, electrical work, fresh drywall and paint, and beautiful Amish built ins after we removed an extra door that just wasn't needed in the space.

 

But the best part wasn't any of that. This family has several kids who never had a bathtub in their home. Once the new tub was set, we got a text from the homeowner letting us know their kids were using a bathtub for the first time ever. That message stopped us in our tracks.

 

This is what Faith, Family, Community means to us. It's not just words on our trucks; it's why we do this work.

 

We're sharing more posts like this one after a customer, we're currently doing a kitchen remodel for told us he'd love to see more progress shots of our projects. So here's to more behind the scenes looks as our jobs come together.

Bathroom Remodel Project: No More Large, Jetted Bathtub!

July 15, 2026
From a cramped jetted tub to a spa-worthy retreat, this is one of our favorite bathtub to shower transformations yet. This homeowner had an outdated tub/shower combo tucked behind a bulkhead that was eating up headspace. We demoed the whole thing, removed the bulkhead, and gained 18 inches of ceiling height in the process. The difference in how the space FEELS is night and day. We appreciate the opportunity to be your local bathroom remodeling contractor – what a fun project! Here's what went in: Full walk-in shower with large-format marble-look panels from floor to ceiling Floating shelf for storage without the clutter Built-in corner bench because a great shower shouldn't require you to stand the whole time Moen handheld showerhead for flexibility Frameless glass sliding door with brushed nickel hardware Recessed LED lighting No grout lines. No mold hiding in corners. Just a clean, beautiful space built to last. If a bathroom remodeling project has been on your mind, let's talk. Firm Foundation Construction Faith. Family.
