The Challenge: Solving the "Aged Bathroom" Problem
The homeowners in Chevy Chase were dealing with a classic master bath that simply didn't work for their lifestyle anymore.
- Dated Plumbing: The original pipes were at high risk for leaks (an issue we see often in older area homes).
- Cramped Layout: A bulky, old-fashioned setup made the room feel tight and dark.
- Poor Air Quality: The lack of proper ventilation was a major concern (this often leads to hidden mold behind the walls).
- Wasted Space: The previous design failed to use the corners of the room effectively.
What We Did: The Scope of Work
To do this right, we started with a total demolition.
- Full Gut: We stripped everything to the bones, which is the only way to catch hidden structural issues.
- New Infrastructure: Our team installed all-new supply and drain lines. We also upgraded the electrical to meet current safety standards.
- Modern Waterproofing: We utilized a high-grade moisture barrier system—this is the hidden layer that protects your investment from water damage.
- Tile and Flooring: We laid a marble hexagon mosaic on the floor. For the walls, we chose a vertical subway tile (this draws the eye upward to make the ceiling feel higher).
- Custom Shower: We installed a neo-angle glass shower enclosure. This specific shape saves floor space while providing a generous showering area.
- Vanity and Finishes: A clean white vanity was paired with polished chrome fixtures and a new, energy-efficient window with custom shutters.
Permit and Building Code Compliance
We handle every project with strict adherence to local building codes. This renovation passed all necessary inspections, from the initial rough-ins to the final structural check. Following these regulations protects your home’s value and guarantees that the work is safe for years to come.
The Final Result
The finished product is a crisp, bright sanctuary that feels twice as large as the original room. By combining the natural texture of marble with a frameless glass shower, we opened up the sightlines across the entire space. The result is a timeless bathroom that balances traditional Chevy Chase charm with modern, reliable performance.
