Manassas Bathroom Remodelers

With an office right in Manassas, we’re local to the area and have partnerships with local businesses, major supply houses, and showrooms. Over the years, we’ve established great connections with suppliers, product specialists, and designers, in order to help you through every step of your project.

We also see a lot of older homes that have been neglected over the years. Many of these current homeowners, however, are constantly working to update and upgrade these homes.

Whether it be an old or new home, we love talking with people, seeing what challenges they face and helping solve those problems for them.

Manassas itself also has a great community of people. We often do business with many people we know through schools, family, or the local baseball park. We love giving back to our friends and neighbors that we interact with regularly, either at church or just in the neighborhood.

The idea behind a bathroom remodel is to add value to the home, whether for resale value or everyday use. Since the bathroom is the first room you go to in the morning and the last room you leave before bed, it’s very important to the health and hygiene of the family. Having an upgraded bathroom layout that fits your needs and comfort, all while adding value to your home, is important.

A good designer who can pull the colors and textures out of specific materials is a great benefit. At Hambleton Construction, we have fantastic designers whom we work with specifically for bathroom projects.

The process looks like this:

1. Remove the tile and backer board from the existing bathtub
2. Remove the tub itself, re-center the plumbing and drain work (for a new walk-in shower drain)
3. Add a new shower liner, waterproofing, and mortar bed
4. Begin tiling

Begin by removing the toilet and existing vanity from the space. The next step is to demolish the existing tile floor and look for loose boards or rot from a previous floor. Once those issues have been fixed, put down a new backer board, install the tile, and insert the new or existing toilet and vanity.

Next, it’s best to see what their partnerships look like. If your contractor has partnerships with local vendors, this will help simplify the process from start to finish.

Lastly, get to know your proposals. While this step seems simple enough, it’s important that you understand the process and what you’ll be paying for.

The questions we often ask are: will we be operating within the same space? Do you want to expand the walls? Will we be moving any plumbing lines or adding electrical?

Larger, more intensive bathroom projects can take upwards of three to four weeks, depending on the scope of work. This often involves moving things around, changing the tub to a shower, adjusting the size of the shower, or moving the location of the vanity or toilet.

1. The first step is to protect the finishes and fixtures that you’re not looking to remove. Once they’ve been covered with cardboard or plywood, then go to town with a big sledgehammer!
2. Next, remove all the tile and backer board down to the studs. Always remove the existing backer board that the tile was initially bonded to, because if the board chips or gets damaged, it deteriorates and isn’t worth saving.
3. The last step is to install new backer board, waterproofing, and then the tile of your choice. This is also a great time to create any additional features, such as a recess soap niche in the shower wall.

1. Vet your contractor. Find someone that you like that has partnerships with designers and local suppliers.
2. Refine the scope of work and the design process. Figure out exactly what you’re looking for in the bathroom remodel and work that into the contract. Discuss your vision with the designer to determine the bathroom design and finishes.
3. Demolition and construction. At this time, we would begin demolition, do any necessary framing, plumbing, and electrical work; adding lights, fixtures, etc.
4. Drywall Installation. Once the demolition is complete, we will install drywall, trim, vanities, cabinets, and then countertops.
5. Painting & finishing touches. Lastly, we will paint and install all the finishing touches, such as plumbing fixtures, faucets, and electrical finishes: lights, switches, plugs, etc.
