Cape Cod Bathroom Renovations
Bathroom Remodeling
Complete bathroom remodels coordinated from demolition through finish work.
OB Remodeling manages preparation, custom shower work, tile, fixtures, finish details, cleanup, and the licensed plumbing or electrical coordination required for the approved scope.
Complete Bathroom Remodeling on Cape Cod
One coordinated project rather than disconnected installation tasks.
OB Remodeling provides bathroom remodeling for homeowners across Cape Cod and Barnstable County, from small bathroom remodels to complete bathroom renovations with a new shower, flooring, fixtures, and interior finishes.
As a bathroom remodeler, we define the construction sequence, coordinate required specialty trades, and keep the approved bathroom remodel scope clear from removal through the final walkthrough.
What's Included in a Full Bathroom Remodel
The written estimate confirms the exact work for your bathroom.
A complete bathroom remodel is organized around the existing room, selected finishes, and the approved layout. Drywall, trim, painting, fixture installation, and other finish work can be added by request and priced separately when they are not part of the core scope.
Typically Included
Demolition and removal
Remove approved fixtures and finishes, protect adjacent rooms and surfaces, control dust, and manage demolition debris throughout the planned removal work.
Preparation and localized repairs
Prepare walls, framing, blocking, and subfloors, completing localized repairs required to create sound, suitable surfaces for the approved bathroom work.
Waterproofing and tile installation
Build the specified wet-area assemblies and install approved shower, tub-surround, and floor tile with coordinated preparation, layout, edges, grout, and transitions.
Licensed plumbing adjustments
Licensed plumbing work may relocate shower drains, move or replace valves, and complete related rough-plumbing adjustments required for the approved bathroom layout.
Cleanup and final walkthrough
Complete approved punch-list work, remove remaining project debris, clean the remodeled areas, and review the finished scope with the homeowner during the final walkthrough.
Custom Bathroom Features
Custom porcelain vanities
Design and build custom porcelain vanities using large-format porcelain panels with mitered edges for a seamless, durable, and low-maintenance finish. Each vanity is planned around the room layout, plumbing locations, storage needs, and the selected sink and countertop configuration.
Niches, benches, and shelves
Plan niches, benches, and shelves around room dimensions, framing, plumbing fixtures, waterproofing requirements, and tile layout so each feature fits the approved design.
Heated bathroom floors
Coordinate radiant floor heating with the tile assembly, room layout, thermostat location, and licensed electrical work required for safe, reliable operation.
Large-format tile
Install large porcelain tile over suitably prepared surfaces, with deliberate layout, joint placement, edge treatment, and cuts around fixtures and transitions.
Mosaic accents
Use mosaics on shower floors, niches, borders, or selected accent areas, coordinating sheet alignment, cuts, grout joints, and transitions with surrounding tile.
Grab-bar blocking
Install concealed wall reinforcement at planned locations so grab bars can be securely mounted during the remodel or added in the future.
Glass preparation
Prepare curbs, walls, edges, and concealed blocking for the intended fixed glass panel or shower door, based on the approved enclosure layout.
Tub-to-shower conversions
Coordinate tub-to-shower conversions with demolition, framing, drain and valve adjustments, waterproofing, fixture placement, and finish work required by the new layout.
Shower-to-tub conversions
Coordinate shower-to-tub conversions with demolition, framing, plumbing adjustments, waterproofing, fixture placement, and finish work required by the approved layout.
Custom shower layouts
Plan shower size, entry, fixtures, drain location, storage, and finish details around the actual room, existing conditions, and approved remodeling scope.
Drywall, trim, and painting
Coordinate approved drywall repairs, trim installation, surface preparation, and painting with the bathroom construction sequence and selected finishes.
Fixture installation
Install approved bathroom fixtures and finish components after the supporting surfaces, connections, and surrounding finishes are ready.
Bathroom Remodeling Process
Five coordinated stages from the first site review to completion.

Scope & Planning
What Affects the Scope and Cost of a Bathroom Remodel?
The estimate is based on the existing construction, requested changes, selected shower system, materials, and custom details—not a fixed package price.
No two bathrooms have identical conditions. Framing, subfloors, plumbing, electrical work, previous repairs, and concealed moisture issues can change the preparation required after demolition.
-
Existing conditions
Subfloor or framing repairs, wall flatness, water damage, and previous construction can affect preparation.
-
Plumbing and electrical changes
Moving drains, valves, fixtures, lighting, outlets, ventilation, or heated-floor controls requires additional coordination.
-
Shower system
Prefabricated bases, foam systems, and custom mortar-bed showers use different materials and installation methods.
-
Materials and tile format
Natural stone, porcelain, mosaics, large-format tile, profiles, and specialty finishes have different preparation and layout needs.
-
Custom features
Niches, benches, shelving, curbless entries, glass preparation, and accessibility blocking add planning and construction scope.
-
Hidden conditions
Conditions that cannot be seen before demolition are documented and discussed before unplanned additional work proceeds.
Waterproofing and Shower Systems We Use
The exact system depends on the shower design, substrate, drain configuration, and project requirements.
We work with established shower and waterproofing systems and select components based on the actual assembly rather than forcing every bathroom into the same product line. The system must work as a complete installation, from the substrate and shower base through waterproofing, penetrations, transitions, and tile preparation.
LATICRETE
LATICRETE systems can be used for waterproofing, tile-setting materials, shower preparation, and other components where the selected products are appropriate for the project assembly.
wedi
wedi building panels and shower components provide an integrated approach to wet-area construction and can be useful for showers that benefit from lightweight waterproof panels and compatible system components.
GoBoard
GoBoard is a lightweight waterproof tile backer that can be used for shower walls and other wet-area applications when installed with the required sealant, fasteners, and treatment at joints and penetrations.

Bathroom Remodeling Questions
Common questions before a Cape Cod bathroom renovation begins.
A complete scope may include demolition, preparation, waterproofing, tile, drywall and trim work, fixture installation, cleanup, and coordination with licensed plumbing or electrical contractors where required.
Yes. Small bathrooms still benefit from careful layout, storage, fixture, tile, and shower planning. The estimate is based on the actual room and requested scope.
Existing framing and subfloor conditions, plumbing or electrical changes, shower-system choice, materials, tile format, custom features, and hidden conditions discovered after demolition can all affect the work.
Yes. A bathroom remodel can include a walk-in shower, recessed niche, bench, shelving, grab-bar blocking, and preparation for frameless glass when those items are part of the approved design.
