Decisions Worth Making Early
BEFORE DEMO BEGINS
The best time to make key bathroom decisions is before demolition starts. Choices about the shower, storage, accessibility, and priority features can affect the layout, plumbing, electrical work, materials, and overall plan. Making those decisions early helps avoid last-minute changes, keeps the project moving, and gives you a clearer idea of where your budget is going.
01 — TUB, SHOWER, OR BOTH?
Think about what you actually use now and what you’ll want in years ahead. That might mean keeping a tub, replacing it with a larger walk-in shower, or finding room for both when the space allows.
02 — WHERE DO YOU NEED MORE STORAGE?
If the countertop is always crowded or towels and toiletries have nowhere to go, bring that up early. Vanity drawers, recessed niches, shelving, and built-ins can be incorporated into the plan instead of treated as an afterthought.
03 — WHAT WOULD MAKE THE BATHROOM EASIER TO USE?
Think beyond how the bathroom looks. Better lighting, easier shower entry, more room to move, conveniently placed outlets, or accessibility features can make a noticeable difference in how the room works every day.
04 — WHICH FEATURES MATTER MOST TO YOU?
You may care more about custom tile and shower glass, while someone else would rather put more of the budget toward heated flooring, a larger vanity, or upgraded fixtures. Knowing your priorities helps us plan around what matters most instead of treating every upgrade the same.
You DON’T Have to Have it All Figured Out.
That’s what the consultation is for. JWD can help you work through these decisions before construction begins, so the important details are accounted for before your bathroom comes apart.
SHOWER CONSTRUCTION
A walk-in shower requires more than tile and glass. The existing space may need plumbing changes, wall or floor preparation, waterproofing, and other work before the finished surfaces are installed. These steps are especially important when converting an existing tub or changing the shower footprint.
What Goes Into Building a Walk-In Shower?
01
TUB-TO-SHOWER CONVERSIONS
We remove the existing tub and prepare the space for a new walk-in shower, including plumbing and framing changes when the new layout requires them.
02
ADVANCED WATERPROOFING
We install a Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing system behind the finished tile to protect the shower walls and other moisture-prone areas.
03
PLUMBING & EXISTING CONDITIONS
Plumbing locations and conditions uncovered during demolition can affect the preparation required before the new shower, fixtures, and finishes are installed.
OLDER HOME BATHROOM REMODELING
Older bathrooms can reveal conditions that aren’t visible until demolition begins. Aging plumbing, previous repairs, moisture exposure, uneven framing, or subfloor damage can affect how the new bathroom is prepared and rebuilt. Identifying these conditions during construction helps determine what needs to be corrected before new waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finishes are installed.
What Can Be Hiding Behind An Older Bathroom?
WILLOW GROVE | ABINGTON | WARMINSTER | PERKASIE | DOYLESTOWN
Conditions We May Find During Demolition.
Moisture damage, mold, or signs of past leaks
Older plumbing or previous plumbing repairs
Uneven walls or floors, or framing that requires additional prep
Inadequate ventilation or outdated electrical
Subfloor or framing issues discovered after demolition
These conditions aren’t present in every older bathroom. When they are uncovered they can affect the scope of the remodel.
BATHROOM LAYOUT PLANNING
Keep the Layout or Rethink It?
Not every bathroom needs to be completely rearranged. JWD looks at how the room functions now, what feels cramped or inconvenient, where plumbing and fixtures are located, and what you want the finished space to do better before deciding whether a layout change is worth it.
Keep the Existing Layout
Keeping fixtures in their current locations can make sense when the bathroom already functions well and the main goals are updated finishes, better storage, a new shower or tub, or improved usability.
Rethink the Layout
A layout change may make sense when the shower is too small, the vanity blocks movement, storage is limited, or the current arrangement wastes usable space. Moving fixtures, walls, or even a window can create a more functional bathroom when the existing layout is the real problem.
UNDERSTANDING THE SCOPE
What Can Increase the Final Cost?
Bathroom remodeling costs can change quickly when the work goes beyond replacing finishes. Understanding what affects the scope makes it easier to decide where the budget matters most.
Waterproof Shower Prep
A shower is only as good as what’s behind the tile. If walls or flooring need repair, leveling, or rebuilding before waterproofing begins, the additional preparation can increase labor, materials, and project costs.
Relocating Plumbing
Moving a shower, tub, vanity, or toilet can require opening walls or floors and rerouting supply or drain lines. The farther fixtures move from their existing locations, the more involved the work can become.
Ventilation Upgrades
Some bathrooms need more than a new exhaust fan. If existing ventilation is undersized, poorly routed, or not properly vented outside, correcting it can become part of the remodel.
Optional Upgrades
Custom shower glass, heated floors, built-ins, specialty tile, and upgraded fixtures can increase the final price. These are planned choices, not unexpected project costs.
