The Challenge

What We Were Working With

This 1980s master bathroom had become a daily frustration for the homeowners. The cramped layout featured an oversized jetted tub that was never used, taking up valuable floor space while the small step-in shower was difficult to navigate. The single vanity created morning bottlenecks for the couple, and the vinyl flooring was cold, worn, and dated. Poor ventilation had caused persistent mold issues around the tub, and the lighting was so dim that applying makeup or shaving required a handheld mirror near the window.

Our Solution

How We Solved It

We completely reimagined the space by removing the unused jetted tub and replacing it with a spacious curbless walk-in shower featuring dual shower heads and a built-in bench. The large-format porcelain tile creates a seamless, spa-like aesthetic while the linear drain maintains accessibility. We installed a 60-inch double vanity with soft-close drawers and ample storage, eliminating the morning traffic jam. Heated floors throughout the bathroom ensure year-round comfort, while improved ventilation prevents any moisture issues. A combination of recessed lighting, vanity sconces, and a backlit mirror provides layered illumination for every task.

The Results

Usable shower space increased by 300%
Storage capacity doubled with new double vanity
Heating costs offset by efficient radiant floor system
Zero moisture issues since installation (12 months)

“The heated floors alone were worth it—no more cold tiles in winter! But the walk-in shower is the real game-changer. It feels like a luxury hotel every single day. Lopez understood exactly what we needed and delivered beyond our expectations.”
