The Old Outdated Bathroom Problem
Our client and his wife had recently retired and moved from Kansas City! While this was an exciting move for them, their master bathroom was not very welcoming! The cracked tile joints with missing grout, the leaking shower, and poor storage made the bathroom unusable. This client found us online in search of a reputable bathroom remodeling company in Mesa! After seeing our past project videos and our social media presence they knew our company would be the right fit for their remodel. After our first consultation, the client was reassured that he wanted to work with us after finally meeting in person and asked to get booked as soon as possible!
Bathroom Remodeling Prep
Prior to beginning this remodel in the Las Sendas Community in Mesa, our team took careful measures to protect the home’s interior and exterior. We laid down floor coverings and employed dust spread prevention techniques to ensure the rest of the home remained clean throughout the process. Once the prep was complete, we set to work transforming the master bathroom into a serene, spa-like retreat that seamlessly blends modern elegance with the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The result is a bathroom that exudes luxury and comfort, with thoughtful design choices that elevate the space.
New Bathroom Design
Design Inspiration: The homeowners wanted a bathroom that reflected the tranquil desert landscape and a pinch of a hacienda aesthetic. Natural tones, textured materials, and a touch of modern sophistication were the key elements they desired. Our designer worked with the clients to select materials and finishes that would achieve this vision while ensuring the space was as practical as it was beautiful.
Key Features of the design:
Walk-In Shower with Mosaic Tile Accents:
The centerpiece and most important part of the remodel is the beautiful walk-in shower, featuring floor-to-ceiling porcelain tiles that mimic the look of natural stone. The large format tiles provide a seamless, continuous look that enhances the room's spacious feel while reducing grout lines. The less grout the easier the maintenance and cleaning!
A highlight within the shower is the mosaic-backed, his and hers niche. The colors from the handmade tiles add a pop of color and texture. The earthy tones of the mosaic tiles tie together the overall color palette, while the cream-colored grout emphasizes the geometric pattern, adding depth and interest.
James Martin Vanity with Dual Sinks:
The vanity is a James Martin prefab piece that offers ample storage with a combination of drawers and cabinets, ensuring the bathroom remains clutter-free. The rich wood finish complements the warm tones of the shower tiles, creating a cohesive look throughout the space.
Topped with a sleek, dark quartz countertop, the vanity provides a beautiful contrast to the lighter tones of the walls and flooring. The dual sinks, each paired with modern black fixtures, provide convenience and style, making morning routines more efficient.
Versatile Drying Area:
Adjacent to the shower, we created a versatile drying area complete with a bench. This space is designed for drying off after a shower, sitting to get ready for the day, or simply relaxing while enjoying the view of the desert landscape outside.
The addition of a small succulent arrangement and soft towels in complementary colors enhances the spa-like ambiance, making this area both functional and inviting.'
Modern Lighting and Fixtures:
Lighting was a critical component in achieving the desired atmosphere. We installed five new recessed lights with dimmer switches, allowing the homeowners to create different ambiances according to their preferences. These lights provide ample illumination for daily tasks while adding a stylish touch to the room.
Black hardware and fixtures were selected to create a striking contrast against the neutral tones of the tiles and walls. This modern finish adds a touch of sophistication and ties in with other elements of the bathroom design.
Knotty Alder Door:
A beautiful 8-foot knotty alder door was installed at the entrance of the bathroom, serving as a stunning statement piece that adds to the hacienda-style look the client desired. This door not only complements the overall design but also provides a warm, rustic touch that enhances the bathroom’s luxurious feel.
The newly remodeled bathroom showcases a range of stunning features that not only enhance its functionality but also maintain a clean, minimalist aesthetic. We've created a space that is both highly customized and elegantly simple, perfectly balancing form and function. Check out some of the pictures of the final result!!
Challenges and Solutions
One of the primary challenges in this remodel was ensuring that the new design blended well with the existing architecture of the home. The Las Sendas Community is known for its beautiful, traditional desert-style homes, so it was important that the bathroom's modern features did not feel out of place. By choosing materials and colors inspired by the natural surroundings, we were able to achieve a design that feels both fresh and in harmony with the home’s overall aesthetic.
Another challenge was the layout, which required careful planning to maximize space while maintaining functionality. The walk-in shower, drying area, and vanity were all strategically placed to create a flow that makes the bathroom feel open and airy, rather than cramped or cluttered.
Quality Assurance and Inspections
At the heart of our remodeling process is a commitment to quality and longevity. Throughout the many phases of the bathroom renovation, our team conducted a series of quality tests and inspections to ensure that every element of the project met our high standards.
Leak Testing:
We performed leak tests on the new plumbing lines and the newly installed shower pan. One of the most common problem areas in a shower is the shower pan, most fail and leak at the pan base. The newly hand-built shower pan was flood-tested to confirm a leak-free shower! These steps are crucial in preventing future water damage, which could lead to costly repairs down the line.
Durability Inspections:
To ensure that the remodel will stand the test of time, we examined the integrity of all materials used, from the tiles and grout to the vanity and countertops. Our team made sure that everything was installed to withstand daily wear and tear, ensuring a long-lasting finish that the homeowners can enjoy for years to come.
Final Walkthrough:
Lastly, we conducted a final walkthrough with the homeowners to review all the work completed. This walkthrough allowed us to address any final concerns or adjustments and to ensure the homeowners were completely satisfied with the results. We believe that open communication and transparency are key to delivering a remodel that exceeds expectations.
By adhering to these diligent quality checks and inspections, we guarantee that our remodels are not only beautiful but also durable, safe, and functional. Our goal is to create spaces that our clients can rely on, knowing that every detail has been crafted and tested to ensure the highest level of quality.
