Character Interiors, a renowned home renovation company, recently completed a remarkable project for a Kalamazoo, Michigan resident. The project involved the complete overhaul of the main bathroom, incorporating various elements of prep, protection, disposal, and cleanup. With meticulous attention to detail and adherence to industry standards, Character Interiors delivered exceptional results, transforming the once mundane space into a luxurious bathroom oasis. In this blog post, we will delve into the project details and highlight the comprehensive scope of work carried out by the skilled professionals at Character Interiors.
Preparation and Protection:
Prior to commencing the renovation, Character Interiors meticulously followed the Character Interior Guidelines and Industry Standards to ensure a seamless and efficient process. The team focused on preparing and protecting the entire project area, emphasizing floor and home protection. With careful consideration for cleanliness, they implemented plastic containment measures during high dust and debris work. In order to maintain a tidy work environment, the crew performed a broom and dustpan clean up daily. At the completion of the project, the team conducted a professional site cleanup of work areas to guarantee a spotless finish. Character Interiors also removed and disposed of debris on a daily basis, ensuring a clutter-free and safe workspace.
Demo:
The demolition phase involved the removal of existing window casing, ceramic/porcelain floor tiles, and drywall/plaster from the ceilings and walls of the entire bathroom. The team carefully removed the window casing and saved it for reinstallation after the tile work. The proposal did not include the existing tub, and the team advised the homeowner to have glazing done by others.
Finish Work:
The finish work carried out by Character Interiors involved multiple tasks to enhance the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the bathroom. They installed insulation as necessary in the ceilings and exterior walls to optimize energy efficiency. The team ran the electrical supply for new recessed light fixtures, GFI outlet, and recessed wall switch for the exhaust fan at the vanity. A new Panasonic recessed bathroom exhaust fan was installed, ensuring proper ventilation and adherence to code. Furthermore, a moisture-rated recessed light fixture and trim were provided and installed on the shower ceiling. Our crew incorporated a wall niche into the shower for future tiling. They also completed plumbing rough-ins before wallboard installation.
Bathroom Oasis:
The proposal did not include removing or replacing the bathroom door, frame, or casing, nor did it cover the installation of cove molding. Character Interiors installed floor underlayment, preparing it for tile installation. They replaced the ceiling with 5/8″ drywall and the walls with 1/2″ drywall as needed. The hanging, taping, and floating of the drywall ensured a smooth finish, ready for tile and subsequent painting if required. The team installed a new wall register cover, and the homeowner provided the toilet, vanity base cabinet, countertop, sink faucet, sink with strainer and drain, vanity light fixture, showerhead, vanity wall mirror, sliding shower door, and towel bars. The crew waited to schedule the shower door installation until after the tub reglazing.
