Windowed bathroom renovation stages

About this job

Three photos taken at different stages of a bathroom renovation in a room with a window. The earlier shots show the existing light beige wall tile, and the later ones show large white tile with gray veining.

We don’t have dates for the stages, the tile size, or the town; the record says Chicago area. Having the old tile and the new in one set shows how much the room changed.

1. 01

   Measured and planned

   We check the room’s dimensions and mark layout lines before any tile is set.

2. 02

   Prepared and waterproofed

   Prep depends on the substrate, with waterproofing where the area gets wet.

3. 03

   Set

   Tile goes down to the layout lines, with joints and cuts kept even.

4. 04

   Grouted and sealed

   Grout and any sealer are chosen to suit the tile and how it will be cleaned.

5. 05

   Walked through with the owner

   We go over the finished surface with the owner.
