What Are the Steps to Remodeling a Bathroom?

A Wentworth bathroom remodeling project begins with a survey of the homeowners’ wishes and needs. In order to get a clear picture of the project, we’ll start with a few questions:

• How does the bathroom’s current location impact the design?
• Is the homeowner concerned more with luxurious details?
• How does the home’s age and style impact the aesthetics of the bathroom?
• Are there any “must haves”? Deluxe shower? Whirlpool tub? Double-sink vanity?
• How can we achieve the best design for the budget?
• What storage considerations should be incorporated into the design? His and her closets? Linen closets? Built-in shelving?

Our Maryland Bathroom Design: Necessity Meets Luxury

When it comes to remodeling your bathroom, we look at the whole picture. A Wentworth bathroom design is holistic. The remodel can be as simple as redoing the space within its current footprint, but it is more typically a project involving the redesign and reconfiguration of a cramped, outdated bathroom and master bedroom. Many older Washington, DC area homes have bathrooms that are considered too small by today’s standards.

Based upon years of experience renovating older homes, Wentworth is able to maximize space and minimize cost when tackling a master bathroom renovation. We understand that simple solutions—from new cabinetry to glass shower stalls—are just as important as reconfiguring interior space. Whether your bathroom remodel is small or large, we can create an open and relaxing space to fit your lifestyle.

Whether it’s a long-awaited master bathroom suite or a brand new guest bathroom, we understand that the details make all the difference in a makeover. A Wentworth bathroom addition or remodel will take the concept of ample storage and turn it into a gorgeous design feature.

A bench with built-in shelving for toiletries turns a spacious shower stall into the bathroom’s best design and storage feature. Want a gleaming new floor but fear wearing socks on cold winter mornings? Let us incorporate a radiant floor heating system into your design, ensuring you’ll never have cold feet about the design of your bathroom again. Tired of your dim, dreary bathroom? Wentworth will harness natural light to make your space shine. The addition of a window over a vanity or a skylight in a shower stall can eliminate the need for artificial light and contribute a sense of calm.

• Replace outdated light fixtures with beautiful sconces.
• Update the showerhead for a more luxurious experience.

Age-in-Place Bathroom Remodeling near Chevy Chase

Many homeowners are now choosing to age in place by remodeling their current homes to suit their future needs. With an age-in-place bathroom remodel, the homeowner should never have to sacrifice design for function. We have worked on numerous age-in-place projects, successfully merging bathroom necessities with luxury features. If you wish to stay in your home for the long term, we can incorporate safety features—unobtrusive grab bars, non-slip shower floor tile, built-in benches, handheld showers, and curbless walk-in shower stalls—with seamlessly integrated design details, such as heated towel bars, sleek faucets, modern fixtures, and marble countertops.

Coordinating Permits

Once you have the perfect bathroom design in mind, you must obtain the necessary permits before construction can begin. Small jobs may not require a permit, but it’s almost always a good idea to get one, no matter the size of the project, for peace of mind that a knowledgeable third party will inspect the finished product before it’s deemed complete.

In the Washington, DC, area, a bathroom renovation permit can often be obtained in just one day. Each trade—plumbing, mechanical, and electrical—requires its own permit. The process may take longer if you’re remodeling the bathroom as part of a larger project. You’ll also need to go through a special permitting process if you live in a historic district of DC and you’re planning to make exterior changes, such as adding a window.

When you work with Wentworth, you can leave the hassle of permitting up to us. We coordinate the process to ensure all the necessary permits are in place before demolition day arrives. With our attention to detail, you’ll avoid any delays or headaches that could potentially arise from the permitting process.

“ Hi, Bruce,
I look forward to your articles in Chevy Chase Village Life -- I love bungalows so I immediately read the article in the latest issue that arrived yesterday (as your team was here planning for the photo shoot). I also liked the Sponsor Spotlight this month -- featuring your company. Is it possible to get a reprint or link to your article on porches that appeared recently? I would love to add one to our NC beach home, but so far no one has been able to figure out how to get access from the inside to the outside! I know my sister would love to see the article too. Thanks for ALL of your amazing work. I hope you will feel free (and confident) to use us as references. The only hard part will be communicating what an outstanding job -- beyond our high expectations -- your team did for us. We are demanding, but your team is more demanding in the excellence that they deliver. ”
