Bathroom Addition in Progress - Framing to Finishing

Adding a bathroom to an existing home is one of those projects that looks simple on paper but has a lot of moving parts. You've got framing, concrete, roofing, siding, electrical, drywall - and every single phase has to be done right before the next one can start. That's exactly how we approach it.

We started this one from the ground up. The framing went in clean and square, anchored to a fresh concrete slab. Once the structure was solid, we moved on to exterior sheathing and siding - vertical board siding with a flat roof build-out that ties neatly into the existing roofline. A window and exterior door were set, and just like that, what was once a bare patch of yard started looking like part of the house.

Inside is where a lot of the behind-the-scenes work happens. Drywall hung and mudded, electrical roughed in, a recessed ceiling light box set, and the shower area prepped with a waterproof barrier at the base before any tile goes down. Every one of those steps matters. Skip corners here and you're dealing with moisture problems or code issues down the road.

This is what general contracting is supposed to look like - one trade feeding cleanly into the next, with someone managing the whole thing from start to finish. We're still working through the finishing stages on this one, and we'll have the full reveal soon. The bones are solid. The rest is just details.
