Bathroom Remodeling in Chittenden County, Vermont
A bathroom that needs more than a coat of paint. I'm Tim Chila , we do full bathroom remodels across Chittenden County, built the right way behind the walls so they hold up for decades, not just look good on day one.
What We Do
Bathrooms Built Right Behind the Tile
A bathroom remodel done well starts with the part you'll never see. Waterproofing, a solid substrate, and the right sequence of trades behind the tile are what separate a bathroom that holds up for twenty years from one that starts showing problems in five. Anyone can make a bathroom look good on day one. Making it last is the actual job.
We do full gut-and-rebuilds , everything out, down to the studs, and started fresh. That's the honest way to fix a dated or failing bathroom, because it lets us correct what's wrong behind the walls instead of tiling over it. Waterproofing goes in properly behind every wet surface before a single tile is set.
On top of that foundation goes the work you do see: custom tile, the vanity, the fixtures, the shower. Every bathroom starts with an open-book estimate, and we don't call it done until it's right , visible and invisible both.
