Bathroom Remodeling Olathe KS
Olathe sits at the heart of Johnson County - right along the I-35 corridor where thousands of homeowners need reliable remodeling work done right. We work in this area every week. We know the homes, the soil and what the City of Olathe Building Safety Division requires before a project is finished.
Our bathroom remodeling services cover four areas of your home. We build custom walk-in showers, handle master suite expansions, convert tubs to showers and install heated flooring. Every service we offer is designed to protect your home's structure and pass every required inspection.
We serve the full Johnson County region from our base in Olathe. Whether you are near downtown Olathe or out toward the K-7 growth corridor, we can reach your job site fast. This page is your starting point for every bathroom remodeling service we provide.
Custom Walk-in Showers Olathe KS
A poorly built shower can leak water into the wall cavity for months before you see any signs. By the time mold appears, the subfloor and framing behind the tile may already be damaged. We build every walk-in shower to stop water at the membrane - not at the drywall.
The tile substrate in every shower we build uses an uncoupling membrane system rated for full immersion per ANSI A118.12. This membrane breaks the bond between the tile layer and the structural floor. It prevents water migration into the assembly below the finished surface.
The floor is sloped at 1/4-inch per foot toward a linear drain. Water moves out of the shower - not into your walls. The City of Olathe Building Safety Division requires a permit for shower tile substrate work, and an inspection must pass before tile is set over any new waterproofing layer. We pull every permit and schedule every inspection so your project stays on record and protected at resale.
Master Suite Expansions Olathe KS
Removing a wall to expand a master suite is not a decision made with a hammer. It starts with knowing whether that wall is carrying load from above. We identify every load-bearing wall using roof framing diagrams and point-load transfer analysis before any demolition begins.
A licensed engineer verifies load path continuity before we remove a single structural member. New electrical circuits for added lighting zones and bathroom exhaust are planned per NEC 210.8(A). Every system is accounted for in the scope before the first inspection is scheduled.
Olathe sits on expansive Johnson County clay soil that swells in wet seasons and shrinks in dry summers. Any new addition requires footing design that accounts for this shrink-swell movement before framing begins. Skipping that step is how additions develop foundation cracks within the first two years. We design for the soil under your home - not just the walls above it.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions Olathe KS
A tub-to-shower conversion done without permits is not just a code problem today - it is a title problem at resale. Johnson County Building Inspection requires permit records to be on file before a property transfer can close cleanly. We pull every permit before work starts so your investment is protected when you sell.
Drain relocation is verified against the existing joist bay depth for trap and p-trap clearance before any floor work begins. The waterproofing membrane is extended a minimum of 3 inches above the finished curb height per TCNA W244. Johnson County Building Inspection also requires a rough plumbing inspection before the shower pan is set. We schedule that inspection at the right phase - not after the work is buried.
Heated Flooring Olathe KS
A heated floor system that fails after the warranty ends is not just an inconvenience - it is a costly repair inside a finished bathroom. The most common cause is electrical work done without a licensed contractor and without a dedicated circuit. We wire every heated floor system correctly from the start so you are not reopening tile work in three years.
Electric radiant mat wattage is calculated at 10 to 15 watts per square foot for bathroom tile applications. The thermostat is wired on a dedicated GFCI-protected circuit per NEC 424.9. Olathe's freeze-thaw climate puts repeated thermal stress on bathroom floor assemblies through every season. A proper decoupling membrane under the heated tile mat is not an upgrade here - it is a structural requirement for this climate. We install it on every job.
