Remodeling bathrooms in Merriam
If your Merriam bathroom is due to be redone, tell us what you're picturing. Estimates are free.
What to think about first
Most people expect the tile to be the big cost. Usually it's what has to happen behind the walls and under the floor. If the ceiling under the bathroom is finished, opening it up to get at the pipes adds to the job. The shower waterproofing is worth spending on. A leak behind tile can do real damage before anyone notices.
Bathrooms in Merriam homes
Many Merriam ranches still have the original bathroom, with a steel or cast-iron tub and small wall tile. The corners around an old tub are where water usually finds its way in over the years. Old wall tile set in mortar is heavy, and taking it off usually takes the wall with it.

What to expect
Chino walks the room with you before anything is scheduled, and the estimate is free. Some of the plumbing and electrical Chino does himself, and he brings in licensed trades where the job calls for it. If it's the only bathroom in the house, mention that when you reach out.
Before you start
Stick to one metal finish
Brass, matte black or chrome all look good. They look best when the faucet, shower and towel bars match.
Add an outlet while you can
An outlet inside the vanity for a hair dryer or a toothbrush is easy to add while the wall is open and a pain to add later.
Photograph the open walls
Before the drywall goes back up, take a few pictures of the open walls. You will want to know where the pipes and wires run the next time anyone works in there.
