Bathroom
A bathroom renovation planned for daily use and long-term home value, not just a fresh look.
Waterproofing and plumbing come first
A bathroom renovation depends on getting plumbing, waterproofing and ventilation right before any finish goes on. Costar's construction manager coordinates the plumber, electrician and tile trades and confirms rough-in inspections pass before the client's chosen fixtures, tile and cabinetry are installed.
Fixtures and surfaces from the same trade network
Bathroom projects draw on the same countertop and fixture suppliers Costar uses across its work, including Tavstone for stone fabrication and Cosentino for surfaces, so the client is choosing from materials Costar's crews already install regularly.
