This condo bathroom already had a step-in shower which the client enjoyed. In a bold move, we asked the client to consider a walk-in shower with no door. The goal was an uncluttered room with few clunky visual distractions like a door handle. A floor-to-ceiling glass panel would block the water from the shower. While we worked through some details, we asked the client to take showers but not close the door. It would be a good indication of how much water she could expect to see outside the shower. Less than a week later, it was an enthusiastic “Yes – let’s do it!”

Following a process provides guidance and structure. It helps you manage even the largest interior remodel. We don’t discount the fear of the unknown. Education and a well-defined process will mitigate unforeseen circumstances. We don’t promise any surprises. Renovations and surprises go hand in hand. Unimagined repairs might be hiding in an older home. If you've done your homework ahead of time, you will be better equipped to handle the surprises.
