Small Bathroom Renovation in Richmond

BEFORE

AFTER

A homeowner in Richmond’s prestigious Broadmoor neighborhood called TTBC to modernize part of their washroom to today’s newest look.

They had two of their old arborite counter tops burnt while they were using the hair dryers. With that being said, water on the countertop was a main concern to them as the arborite seeps through the joints and creates and gap between the core of the wood and the arborite.

TTBC remedied the damaged counter tops by replacing it with modern quartz counter tops to eliminate all of their water damage and gap problems while adding some natural stone beauty. We also installed new undermount sinks so that their counter space would look more spacious and tidy. In addition to the new sinks, we added new satin-nickel faucets for the finishing touches to complete the project.

At last, we added “the bold look of Kohler” toilet to enhance water efficiency, comfort and peace of mind. The height of the toilet seat was a crucial factor for the homeowner. We went out of our way to install a tank that was water efficient and small enough to fit underneath the countertop. In the end, the toilet that was added was the desired seat height.

Bathroom Renovation in Richmond

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Top to Bottom Construction was called out to do some bathroom renovations at a 3 story townhouse located near the Terra Nova area in Richmond.

The homeowner wanted to remodel the bathtub on the 3rd floor into a shower stall with a seat.

The bathtub was never being used and it was urgent that the unnecessary bathtub be removed. We came in about a week after we inspected it and also had it done in about a week.

The bathroom being on the third level, we made sure that their stair carpet was kept clean during this process because we had lot of foot traffic going in and out of the townhome, as because material were brought in and out, and tiles needed to cut the tiles outside.

After the original tiling and bathtub were stripped out, the plumbing and electrical were upgraded to prevent any leaking. A new high quality shower head and tiling were completed after the new drywall was put up.

We kept the seat near the window for extra storage and for the homeowner to sit on while bathing.

Grab bars were added for easier access to the shower as well as a sliding glass door for a more modern look and to make the area look bigger.

Laundry Room Remodel

TTBC had finished renovating the washrooms throughout this home in Richmond, but the renovations requested by the home owner did not stop there.

The laundry room needed to be remodeled to make it more convenient for them to fold their clothes and have more storage room. To make it easier on their backs, we raised their washer and dryer onto a platform. This meant no more bending down and no more back pain!

We added a back-splash around the sink to prevent water from getting through the walls. This was important because they regularly bathed their dog in this sink. We added high gloss cabinets along the wall for more storage space and added under-cabinet LED lighting. We also made the room brighter by adding recessed pot lights in the ceiling.

All in all, the project was fully completed in one and about 10 days.

Bathroom Remodel Richmond

TTBC was called out to do a bathroom remodel in Richmond home that was built in 1979.

Asbestos was our main concern with this renovation because the homeowner was still going to live in it during our renovation process. Their main washroom on the 2nd floor had a full bath but they wanted it renovated to a have a newer and more modern look.

First, we removed the bulkhead that was above their bathtub to create more space. We had the bathtub removed to a stand up shower for easier access and added a sliding glass door instead of shower curtains to eliminate water from dripping out of the ends of the curtains.

We also added a floating vanity that created a modern look to their washroom and easier access to clean the floor. One thing that we added that made the washroom different from others was adding 4’ tile borders around the washroom and of course the crown molding.

Lastly, the homeowner was extremely excited about adding a new exhaust fan that was motion censored. Before the renovation, they were used to opening the windows anytime the washroom was being used… and that was always really cold, especially in the winter time!
