Guest and Hall Bath Remodeling in Alpharetta, GA

Guest and hall baths are usually smaller, older, and more constrained than anything else in the house, which makes them a genuinely interesting design problem rather than a small one. We do a lot of these as part of a larger project, and a fair number on their own.

A small guest bath with a wall-hung basin and square tile carried to the ceiling.

What a project like this includes

  • A measured plan that treats the constraint as the design problem rather than a limitation
  • Fixture selection sized to the room, with the swing of the door checked against every one
  • Waterproofing, tile setting, and a shower or tub assembly built to a written specification
  • Ventilation sized and ducted to the outside — the single most common thing we find done wrong
  • Lighting and electrical brought current for the room
  • Permit and inspections where your jurisdiction requires them
  • Final clean and the five-year workmanship warranty

What it usually does not

  • Enlarging the room without touching what is on the other side of the wall
  • Fixtures above the allowance in your proposal
  • Hallway and adjacent-room finishes unless they are in the scope

Anything on this list can be brought into scope. It is here because it is not automatically in it, and knowing that now is worth more than finding out in month three.

How this work moves through our six phases

  1. 1

    Discovery

    We walk the house and put scope and a realistic band in writing.

  2. 2

    Design AgreementPayment

    Design goes under a signed agreement with a defined fee and scope.

  3. 3

    Design & Selections

    Drawings, structural review, and every selection locked before construction.

  4. 4

    Fixed-Price ProposalPayment

    One fixed price, from the trades who will build it, with the scope attached.

  5. 5

    Construction

    One production manager, one project manager, weekly written updates.

  6. 6

    Warranty Walk

    Punch list closed, warranty handed over, and we come back at eleven months.

The whole process, in detail

What this usually involves

We publish four investment ranges and our minimum of $60,000, along with what each range typically includes and who we are honestly not the right firm for. Your own number comes from the Fixed-Price Proposal in phase four, once the drawings exist.

Questions about guest & hall baths

  • How long does a hall bath take?

    Design is typically four to eight weeks, and construction about six to nine weeks. The short end assumes the room stays where it is; moving a wall to borrow three feet from a closet moves both numbers.

  • What investment range does a guest bath usually land in?

    A single bath taken back to the studs is the shape of our first band. All four ranges, what they include, and who we are not the right firm for are published on The Right Fit.

  • Is it worth doing two hall baths at once?

    Usually yes. One design phase, one permit, one mobilization, one set of trades scheduled together, and one disruption instead of two — the second bath is meaningfully more efficient than the first when they run together.

  • What does the five-year workmanship warranty cover?

    Our workmanship for five years from substantial completion, including tile setting and the waterproofing. The fixtures themselves carry the manufacturer's written warranty. Full terms are in your contract.
