Bathroom Makeover

Remodeling Begins With Destruction

Removal of old plumbing and backerboards

Breathe new life into an out-of-date bathroom by yanking out the old plumbing and backerboards and replacing them with stylish, more efficient materials. No need for a professional here — you can tackle it yourself with these simple steps.

Vanity Removal

Another super-effective (and fairly economical) way to freshen up the look of your loo is to rip out that vintage vanity and install a contemporary cabinet unit. Finish off the project with extra touches such as new hardware and light fixtures.
