Bathroom Remodeling in Hattiesburg, MS
Tile, vanity, shower, and the plumbing hookups that connect them — one person, start to finish, instead of three subcontractors on three schedules.
Bathrooms take more punishment from Mississippi humidity than any other room in the house, and it shows — soft subfloors near old showers, cabinet bases swelling at the sink, grout that's been patched more times than anyone can count. A lot of Hattiesburg homes near the historic core are still running original 1950s and '60s bathrooms; newer homes in Oak Grove and North Hattiesburg usually just need builder-grade fixtures and cabinets upgraded to something with more character.
A bathroom remodel touches more trades than almost any other room — carpentry for the vanity, tile for the shower and floor, plumbing for every fixture. Alex does all three himself, which means the vanity height, the tile layout, and the faucet placement all get planned together instead of guessed at separately by three different people.
Signs It's Time for a Bathroom Remodel
- Soft or discolored flooring near the tub or shower
- Vanity or cabinet swelling and delaminating at the base
- Dated tile, fixtures, or a layout that doesn't work for the household anymore
- Wanting to convert a tub into a walk-in shower
- Grout and caulk that's been patched repeatedly instead of properly redone
Our Process for a Bathroom Remodel
- Walkthrough & scope. Alex looks at the space and talks through what's realistic for the layout and budget.
- Demo. Old fixtures, tile, and cabinetry removed; framing and subfloor checked for hidden damage.
- Rough-in. Plumbing adjusted for the new layout, framing built out for a new shower or vanity if needed.
- Waterproofing & tile. Shower and wet areas waterproofed before tile goes up.
- Cabinets, fixtures & finish. Vanity installed, fixtures connected, trim and paint finish the room.
What Affects the Cost of a Bathroom Remodel
- Scope: a cosmetic refresh versus a full layout change with plumbing moves
- Tub-to-shower conversions: add plumbing, framing, and waterproofing work
- Materials: tile, vanity, and fixture selections vary widely in cost
- Hidden damage: water damage found during demo has to be repaired before rebuilding
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a bathroom remodel?
It depends on the scope you want — anything from a vanity, tile, and fixture refresh to a full gut-and-rebuild with a reconfigured layout. Alex prices based on the actual scope you choose during the walkthrough, not a fixed package.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
It depends on how much is changing — a cosmetic update (vanity, tile, fixtures) is a shorter job than a layout change involving plumbing moves. Alex gives a real timeline once he's seen the space.
Can you convert a tub into a walk-in shower?
Yes — that's one of the more common bathroom remodel requests. It involves reworking plumbing, building and waterproofing the new shower base, and tiling. Alex will walk through what it takes for your specific bathroom.
Do you handle the plumbing and electrical during a bathroom remodel, or just the carpentry and tile?
Alex handles fixture-level plumbing — supply lines, drains, faucet and fixture hookups — as part of the remodel. Electrical work like new circuits typically needs a licensed electrician, and Alex will tell you if your project needs one.
Will my bathroom be usable during the remodel?
Not during active demo and construction on that specific bathroom. If it's your only bathroom, that's worth planning around — Alex will talk through the timeline so you know what to expect before work starts.
