My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help with bathroom redo

8 years ago
Need help with our bathroom redo. This is the main bathroom my teen boys share along with any guests. May only live in house another 5-6 years so resale is also a consideration. Subway tile? Slate looking tile for floor?

    I suspect that window in the shower is a BIG part of the problem, address that issue first. Acrylic panels (Onyx or US Marble) in basic white for the tub walls. New fan with a humidity sensor and auto turn-off. (Tell the boys their very existence is in peril if they fail to turn on the fan...before they turn on the shower!) New mirrors and lights and wood baseboards, paint. No other changes are needed.

    It's exceptionally clean and neat for having two teen boys as the primary users.
