Start and End Every Day in a Space You Love
Your Bathroom Should Feel Like a Retreat
It's one of the first rooms you're in every morning and the last one you're in every night. When it's outdated, cramped, or just not working the way you need it to, you feel it every single day. A bathroom remodel is one of the most personal projects you can invest in, and we take that seriously.
What's Frustrating You About Your Bathroom?
It Feels Cramped and Impossible to Update
The layout doesn’t make sense, there’s no storage to speak of, and the space feels smaller than it actually is. You’ve made it work, but you’ve been doing that for a while now.
We Rethink the Bathroom Layout From the Ground Up
Every bathroom has more potential than it shows. Sometimes that means moving a wall to gain space. Sometimes it’s adding a wall-hung toilet to open up the floor. Sometimes it’s a complete reimagination of how the room flows. Whatever it takes, we design around how you use the space. Every inch is accounted for.
Your Bathroom Hasn't Been Updated Since the House Was Built
The tile is dated, the vanity is tired, and the fixtures belong to a different era. It functions, but it’s not a space you enjoy being in.
We Update Every Finish
We only use quality materials. No builder-grade, ever. That means ceramic and stone tile, quartz and granite countertops, custom vanities, recessed medicine cabinets, and custom glass shower enclosures. If you want help making selections, our in-house designer Alyssa is here for that. If you already have a vision, we’re just as happy to build it.
You Need Aging-in-Place Safety Features
The shower threshold is a tripping hazard. There’s nowhere to sit. The layout that worked ten years ago isn’t working now, and you’re starting to think seriously about how long this bathroom will be safe for you.
We Design Beautiful Bathrooms for Every Stage of Life
We design and build with aging in place in mind: low and no-threshold showers, built-in benches, grab bars, handheld showerheads, and low soap niches. These aren’t compromises. Done well, they’re details that make your bathroom safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable for everyone who uses it.
Our Process
A Process Designed for a Smooth Remodel
Plan. Price. Build. Every project follows the same proven path — here's what that looks like.
Phase 1: Initial Conversation & Fit Call
It starts with a real conversation, not a sales pitch. We'll talk through your goals, how you plan to use the space, your budget, and your timeline. The goal is simple alignment. If the project and our process make sense for both sides, we'll walk you through the next steps and introduce our Project Development Agreement.
Phase 2: Project Development Agreement (PDA)
This is where we do the work that protects you later. Once the PDA is signed, we schedule a Trade Day, a coordinated on-site meeting where we bring our key subcontractors to walk your home together. They identify constraints early, validate design assumptions, and build real, trade-backed pricing. We also refine layouts, review finish options, separate base scope from upgrades, and pressure-test everything against your budget.
Phase 3: Construction Proposal & Buildertrend Setup
With planning complete and scope aligned, we assemble a detailed construction proposal with every allowance and alternate clearly defined. Your project is then fully built out in Buildertrend, where contracts are signed digitally, schedules and selections are tracked, and all communication stays organized and on the record.
Phase 4: Construction
Construction begins with clarity because we earned it in the planning phase. You'll get daily logs, progress photos, weekly updates, and a two-week look-ahead schedule so you always know what's happening in your home. Once finishes are locked in, we post a jobsite finish board with QR codes so every trade on site is always referencing your approved selections.
Phase 5: Project Close-Out
We don't disappear at the finish line. We walk the project with you, work through the punch list, complete all final documentation, and close everything out cleanly. The project isn't done until you say it is.

FAQ's
FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling Near Portsmouth
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in the Portsmouth area?
Our bathroom remodels start at $45K and range up to $85K+, depending on your scope, your home’s existing conditions, and the finishes you select. We’ll put together a Comfort Zone Budget early in our process so you know what your specific project will realistically cost before you commit.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Most bathroom remodels run between 3 and 8 weeks depending on the scope. A straightforward refresh typically takes 3–4 weeks. A full redesign with plumbing and layout changes usually runs 6–8 weeks. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the planning phase, built around your project specifically.
Can we stay in our home during the bathroom remodel?
Yes, in most cases. If you have a second bathroom available, most clients stay in their homes without much disruption. We’ll walk you through what to expect before construction begins so you can plan ahead comfortably.
Do you build bathrooms with aging in place in mind?
Yes, and it’s something we think about on every project. Low and no-threshold showers, built-in benches, grab bars, and handheld showerheads can all be incorporated beautifully into a custom bathroom without making the space feel clinical. We’ve done it many times.
Do you handle bathroom design in-house?
Yes. Our in-house designer handles conceptual renderings and material selections. If you’ve already been working with an outside designer or architect, we’re experienced at collaborating with them as part of your team.
How does Cost Plus pricing work?
Cost Plus means our books are open to you. You see the actual cost of every subcontractor, every material order, and every line item, plus our markup. No hidden margins, no inflated allowances. You’ll always know where your money is going.
What if we want to make changes during the project?
We manage all change orders through Buildertrend so everything is documented and approved in writing before any work changes. We’ll always tell you what a change will cost before we proceed.
We Do Things a Little Differently Around Here
Most contractors make the same promises. The difference is in what happens after the contract is signed. Here’s where we put our energy.
Craftsmanship Is in Our DNA
Christian Persson is a fourth-generation carpenter. He didn’t just learn the trade, he grew up in it, side by side with his father, learning to see potential in a space before a single wall goes up.
That instinct for detail isn’t something you can teach in a classroom. When Chris walks through your home, he’s thinking about what it could become.
Always in the Know
We use an open-book pricing model called Cost Plus. That means you see exactly where your money goes: labor, materials, subcontractors, all of it.
You’ll have 24/7 access to your project in Buildertrend, with daily logs, selections tracking, and real-time updates. We believe an informed homeowner is a confident one.
We Plan Before We Build
Most of the stress in a remodel comes from decisions made too late. That’s why we spend serious time in the planning phase before a single nail is driven.
Our Project Development Agreement includes a Trade Day where subcontractors walk your home before the contract is signed, so the number you say yes to is the number that gets built.
