What the homeowner wanted
More usable space and a shower they'd actually enjoy using every day — the existing tub hadn't been used in years and was taking up a third of the bathroom.

Capitol Hill Bathroom Remodel
A full primary bathroom remodel in Capitol Hill: curbless shower, heated floors, and a custom double vanity. The unused tub was removed to reclaim floor space and the lighting was redesigned from scratch.

We had a cramped bathroom with a tub we hadn't used in years and lighting that made the whole room feel dingy. Marco suggested pulling the tub entirely to get the curbless shower we actually wanted — and we're so glad we listened. The tile work is immaculate and they hit every milestone exactly on schedule.

The Story
Our plan
Remove the unused tub, reconfigure the shower footprint as a curbless walk-in with frameless glass, install a heated floor mat before the tile goes down, and replace the builder vanity with a custom double-sink unit that actually fits the space.
