A bathroom remodel is one of the most useful changes you can make to a home. Many older bathrooms feel cramped or outdated, with poor lighting, limited storage, and ventilation that no longer works well. Remodeling creates a chance to rethink how the space functions day to day, improve the layout, and bring in durable materials that hold up over time. For some households, that means converting a tub to a walk-in shower, adding a second vanity, or building in features for long-term comfort like heated flooring or better lighting. Every project begins with a clear look at what’s not working and how to make it better. If your bathroom no longer fits your needs, now’s a good time to start planning. We’re glad to offer ideas, answer questions, and provide a detailed quote when you're ready. Reach out for a straightforward conversation about what your remodel could look like.

A Beautiful and Complete Bathroom
Expand or Reconfigure
A bathroom that’s hard to move around in or missing key features usually needs more than new tile. Many of our projects begin with layout changes. We help determine if walls can shift, closets can be relocated, or space from adjoining rooms can be borrowed. Even a few extra square feet can make a major difference in comfort and storage.
Custom Vanities and Storage
Too often, bathrooms fall short on storage. We design vanities that work with the room, not against it. That might mean floating cabinetry for a cleaner look, built-in linen towers, or drawer layouts designed around daily use. We also match the cabinetry to the home’s style, from clean-lined modern builds to homes with historic trim and detailing.
Tubs and Walk-In Showers
Older bathrooms often include rarely-used tubs that take up valuable space. In many remodels, we convert these into open or glass-enclosed showers with bench seating, multiple showerheads, or low-threshold entries. For families that want to keep a tub, we offer freestanding options that look intentional and save space.
Improved Lighting & Vents
Bathrooms without proper lighting tend to feel small and uninviting. We add layered lighting plans that combine overhead fixtures, vanity lights, and task lighting. Proper ventilation is also part of the upgrade, especially in homes where fans are outdated or missing entirely.
Beautiful Flooring
Tile plays a big role in both function and design. We offer materials that resist moisture and feel good underfoot. Popular options include porcelain, patterned ceramic, and large-format stone-look tiles. We also offer heated flooring installations for those who want a little luxury during colder months.
Water Efficiency
New plumbing fixtures can reduce water usage without sacrificing performance. We guide clients through faucet and showerhead selections, help determine the right toilet height and flush style, and handle the full installation process with licensed tradespeople.
Accessibility Features
We often work with families planning to age in place. That may include zero-entry showers, grab bar placements, wider doorways, or lever-style handles. These features can be added without making the space feel clinical. When planned early, they integrate smoothly into the overall design.
One Team for Design, Demo, and Installation
Working with a single team means you don’t have to coordinate between designers, subcontractors, and installers. From the first layout sketch to the final trim piece, everything runs through one point of contact. That kind of consistency matters when timelines are tight or unexpected issues come up. We handle the demolition carefully, manage permits and inspections, and bring in licensed plumbers and electricians when needed. This approach helps avoid gaps in communication and keeps the finished space aligned with the original plan.

The Leading Bathroom Design & Remodeling in St. Louis
Bathrooms in St. Louis homes come in all shapes and eras. We’ve worked on tight half-baths in brick bungalows, dated master suites in post-war ranches, and underused upstairs spaces in four-square homes across the city. Every remodel starts with what’s already there and looks for ways to make it better.
We also know that older homes in neighborhoods like Tower Grove, the Central West End, and Clifton Heights often come with quirks. Plumbing runs in odd places. Floor slopes need correcting. Materials are hard to match. Our team is familiar with those challenges and knows how to approach them with care, clarity, and smart problem solving.
Serving St. Louis and Surrounding Areas
While our bathroom remodeling work is based in the city, we also serve nearby communities including Maplewood, Richmond Heights, University City, and Kirkwood. Homes throughout these areas often share similar characteristics—solid construction, older finishes, and lots of potential for modern upgrades. If you live nearby and your bathroom no longer works for your household, we’re familiar with the kinds of solutions that fit both your space and the neighborhood.
Let’s Talk About Your Project
If your bathroom feels dated, cramped, or just no longer fits the way you live, a thoughtful remodel can change that. We’re happy to walk through the space, discuss your goals, and offer feedback on what’s possible. No pushy sales pitches, just honest advice and clear next steps.
