Common issues include unused tubs, low vanities, poor ventilation, builder-grade tile, dim lighting, and awkward shower proportions.

Service — Bathroom
Plumbing moved. Then designed.
A bathroom remodel done wrong produces a beautiful room with a leaking valve behind the wall, a drain that backs up, or a tile layout that was improvised on the day of installation. Our sequence prevents all three. We start with plumbing — rough-in moved and inspected before tile is mentioned.
The layout is drawn to scale, including every grout joint. Waterproofing is a three-step system, not a painted-on product. Heated floors go in before the mud bed. The result is a room that performs as well as it looks, and looks as good in ten years as it does on day one.
Bathroom concerns
A beautiful bathroom still has to be a disciplined wet room.
Most bathroom remodels fail in places the homeowner cannot see: behind tile, under the shower floor, at the valve wall, or where a rushed layout forces a strange niche or glass panel.
Nova treats the bathroom as a technical room first. Waterproofing, slope, plumbing, ventilation, tile layout, heated floors, glass templates, and finish details are coordinated before the room is dressed up.
Bath transformation
From cramped and dated to a room that starts and ends the day well.
A considered bathroom remodel brings better storage, cleaner tile lines, reliable waterproofing, glass that fits, and lighting that feels flattering instead of clinical.
- Improved shower and vanity function
- Waterproof assemblies built to last
- A calmer primary or guest bath experience
How we approach it
Three things that set this work apart.
Not every remodeler thinks this way. These are the commitments that separate a careful project from a forgettable one.
- 01
Plumbing roughed-in first. Always.
We never tile around existing plumbing. Every pipe is moved, inspected, and signed off before a single tile is set. There are no shortcuts in the walls.
- 02
Tile drawn before it is ordered.
Grout joints, field vs. trim ratios, niche positions — all drawn to scale and approved before any material is purchased. Dry-laid on the floor for review before setting begins.
- 03
Heated floors beneath every mud bed.
We install radiant electric mat systems under all stone and large-format tile floors as a standard — not an upsell. Cold stone floors in a bathroom is a problem we simply do not leave behind.
Materials and craft
The finish only works when the layers beneath it are correct.
Interior remodeling is won in prep: substrate repair, trim alignment, layout marks, acclimation, and the order in which each trade touches the room.
Surface preparation
Walls, floors, and openings are assessed before finish work so uneven framing or damaged substrate does not telegraph through the final product.
Finish coordination
Paint, millwork, tile, flooring, and lighting are sequenced together so one beautiful decision does not create a problem for the next trade.
Protection standards
Floors, HVAC returns, adjacent rooms, and furniture paths are protected with the same seriousness as the work area itself.
07 — ProcessFour phases.
Four phases.
Sixteen months, on average.
One crew per project, start to finish. The same people who frame your kitchen are the ones who set the tile and hang the cabinets. No handoffs. No strangers in month seven.

Consultation
A measured conversation before a measured scope.
We start by understanding the room, the frustrations, the desired finish level, and the constraints. From there, Nova can recommend the right scope instead of forcing a package onto the house.

- Discuss material direction and timeline
- Define a realistic scope before pricing
