SCOPE OF WORK

What a Dreamway Bathroom Includes

Every line below appears in your written proposal with an allowance attached, so you know exactly what is and is not in the number.

Demolition and haul-away

Protected access route, dust containment, and every load removed from your driveway. Not stacked on the lawn.

Waterproofing systems

Schluter-KERDI bonded membrane or a KBRS pan, banded corners, sealed penetrations, flood-tested before tile.

Tile installation

Layout drawn before the first cut, substrate flattened to tolerance, and full mortar coverage under large-format tile.

Plumbing and fixtures

Valves, drains and supply lines replaced or relocated as the layout requires, then set and pressure-checked.

Vanities, lighting and glass

Cabinetry set level and scribed, circuits and switching updated to code, frameless glass templated after tile.

Inspections and closeout

Rough plumbing and electrical inspections coordinated by us, punch list closed, written warranty issued.

HOW WE BUILD IT CORRECTLY

What's Behind the Tile Matters

A beautiful finish is only part of a properly built bathroom. Dreamway Construction focuses on the preparation, waterproofing, coverage, layout and installation details protecting your investment long after the project is completed.

01
Substrate before anything else

Rotten subfloor, failed blocking and out-of-plane studs get fixed first. Tile telegraphs every flaw underneath it.

02
Pan set and pre-sloped to the drain

A quarter inch per foot, verified with a level, not floated by eye. Curbless entries get a recessed, framed pan.

03
Bonded membrane, banded and sealed

Sheet membrane over the whole wet area with sealed inside corners, pipe collars and mixing-valve seals.

04
Flood test before a single tile

The drain is plugged and the pan holds water for 24 hours. If it moves, we find out now instead of in year three.

05
Full mortar coverage, verified

Back-buttered large format with coverage checked by pulling a test tile. Hollow spots crack, so we do not leave them.

OPTIONAL UPGRADES

Worth Considering While the Walls Are Open

These cost far less now than as a second project later. We price them as separate line items so you can decide with real numbers.

Tiled tub surround with a recessed niche
Curbless entry
Recessed pan framing for a flush, step-free threshold.
Linear drain
Single-plane slope and larger tile with fewer cuts.
Heated floor
Uncoupling membrane with cable, on its own thermostat.
Frameless glass
Templated after tile so the reveal is even top to bottom.
Recessed niches
Framed and waterproofed, sized to real bottles.
Bench or ledge
Framed, sloped and membraned like the rest of the pan.
Steam-ready shower
Sealed ceiling, vapor barrier and a sloped ceiling detail.
Dedicated exhaust
Sized to the room and ducted outside, not to the attic.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Bathroom Remodeling Questions

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. We pull the permits required by your city or county and coordinate every inspection. Rough plumbing, rough electrical, framing and final. You receive the permit numbers and inspection results as the project moves.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

Most full bathrooms run four to seven weeks of active construction once materials are on site. Tub-to-shower conversions are faster. Waterproofing cure times and inspection scheduling are the two things that set the floor on any timeline.

Can we stay in the house during construction?

For a single bathroom or kitchen, usually yes. We set up dust protection and keep one bathroom functional wherever the layout allows. Whole-home renovations are different, and we tell you honestly during the consultation.

How do you price the work?

Every bathroom is different. Pricing depends on size, layout, plumbing changes, tile selections, glass, cabinetry and project conditions. After reviewing the space and scope, we provide a detailed proposal. No fixed packages.

What waterproofing system do you use?

Schluter-KERDI bonded membranes or KBRS pans, depending on the shower design. Sheet membrane over the substrate, banded and sealed corners, and pre-sloped pans set to the drain. We flood-test before tile.

Is your work warrantied?

Yes. Workmanship is covered by a written warranty issued at closeout, and we register manufacturer warranties on the systems and fixtures we install.
