Another big step forward on this bathroom remodel🔨

All of the tile is officially installed and grouted.

Today was focused on prep work for the finish phase:
✔️ First coat of drywall mud
✔️ Fresh floor protection
✔️ Getting everything ready for paint and final installation

Next week this project is really going to start coming together.

Always exciting when a project starts transitioning from construction zone to finished bathroom.

Big progress on this bathroom remodel today 👊

Finished tiling the shower back wall and started bringing this space to life.

Also built a custom recessed storage cabinet that will eventually be painted and trimmed out for a clean built-in look and extra towel storage.

Still plenty left to do, but it’s finally starting to look like a bathroom again instead of a construction zone 🔨

Next up:
✔️ More tile
✔️ Wainscoting
✔️ Trim work
✔️ Finishing details that bring it all together

See all those air bubbles? 👀

That’s why we pre-soak certain ceramic tiles before installation.

Ceramic tile can be extremely porous and will suck moisture out of the thinset too quickly if it’s too dry. That can lead to poor adhesion and tile failure over time.

It’s the small details most people never see that help ensure a bathroom lasts for years to come. 🔨

Another big step forward on this bathroom remodel🔨

Over the last few days we’ve:
✔️ Completed the plumbing and electrical rough-ins
✔️ Installed the new drywall
✔️ Waterproofed the tub surround
✔️ Installed the tile floor
✔️ Protected and prepped the space for the next phase

This project has been a unique challenge because the homeowners only have one toilet, so we’ve been working around that to keep things as comfortable and functional as possible for them throughout the remodel.

That’s meant temporarily reinstalling the toilet at the end of each day so they’re not left without a restroom overnight. Not always the easiest route, but taking care of the client experience matters just as much as the finished product.

Next up:
➡️ Custom recessed storage cabinet build
➡️ Trim work
➡️ Tile, tile, and more tile 👊

This bathroom is going to feature tiled wainscoting and a fully tiled tub surround, and it’s starting to come together nicely. Stay tuned for the transformation.

Day 2 progress on this bathroom remodel 🔨

✔️ Installed new subfloor throughout the entire bathroom
✔️ Set the new bathtub
✔️ Installed uncoupling membrane to prep for tile
✔️ Prepped the room for rough-in work for the mechanicals

A lot of the most important work in a remodel is the part nobody will ever see once the project is finished.
Solid prep work = longer lasting floors, fewer issues down the road, and a bathroom built the right way from the ground up.

Slowly bringing this one back to life. 👊

Day 1 on this bathroom remodel — demo complete.

This one had 2 layers of drywall and 2 layers of built-up subfloor… which tells you everything you need to know about what we uncovered.

Starting fresh down to the bones so it’s done right this time.

Stay tuned for the transformation 👀

Another bathroom transformation wrapped up! ⚒️

We removed the old tub and replaced it with a tiled walk-in shower, then refreshed the entire space with new flooring, fresh drywall throughout, a new vanity and toilet, plus updated lighting and accessories.

The end result is a warm, inviting bathroom that feels clean, bright, and comfortable every time you walk in.

Grateful to the homeowners for trusting MBI Construction with their home!

Public Service Announcement (again) 🚫

Please… stop using particle board as subfloor.

It’s not designed for it — it swells, breaks down, and turns to mush the moment moisture hits it. This is the second bathroom I’ve torn apart this year where the floor was literally crumbling underneath.

Use plywood or OSB instead. They’re made to handle moisture, weight, and time.

If you’re planning a remodel or tackling a DIY project, do it right from the ground up. Saves you thousands later.
