2017 Ovation Awards Finalist before — Before

renovateme! design and construction is honoured to be nominated by the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (now HAVAN) as a finalist in the 2017 Ovation Awards. We welcome the acknowledgement and strive to continue to provide exceptional renovations and client service.

We are proud to showcase one of our latest bathroom renovations where a builder grade master bathroom is transformed into a spa-like oasis that serves as the perfect backdrop to escape life’s little “tugs and pulls.”

The goal of this renovation extended further than a simple aesthetic update. It involved remedying the water damage and tile delamination that had resulted from a lack of waterproofing from a previous renovation done by a different home renovation contractor.

The completed project is not only visually appealing, but also adheres to proper industry standards concerning water penetration and mold prevention. This renovation allows our homeowners to protect their home and family from the consequences of water damage. They are now able to enjoy their ensuite bathroom with the peace of mind of knowing that their current renovation was undertaken with quality workmanship and in accordance with best building industry standards.
It is now a 2017 Ovation Awards Finalist – and it is not hard to see why…

From its white wood bathroom vanity with full extension soft-closing drawers and doors, to its 2cm toffee quartz top and dual porcelain undermount sinks with single column faucets, this bathroom’s charm instantly shines.

Its custom curbless walk-in shower boasts a Schluter inline stainless steel drain and frameless 10mm thick tempered glass enclosure. Complete with a tiled niche to store and display product, a wall-mounted rain showerhead and rail-mounted 3 jet handheld wand, this shower makeover is a sure marvel.

The freestanding Maax bathtub rests on a bed of flat ground toasted biscuit coloured river pebbles. The surrounding walls are clad in 12” x 24” polished porcelain and accented with marble and glass mosaic trim. The shower floor is dressed in the tub’s pebble accent, while the remaining floor impresses with 6″ x 36″ driftwood inspired Italian porcelain. Because this bathroom remodel includes a curbless shower, Schluter waterproofing and decoupling membranes are incorporated throughout to protect the shower walls and entire bathroom floor.

No detail is small enough for this bathroom design. Consequently, all vanity, shower and bathtub hardware are of a matching polished chrome finish. A one piece closed trap dual-flush elongated toilet with soft-closing seat is installed. A full size frameless bevelled mirror adorns the entirety of the vanity cabinet. The shimmering backsplash of glass and stone mosaic subtly makes its presence known. All in all, style, charm and luxurious finishes (and the added peace of mind provided by superior waterproofing techniques) are the order of the day in this memorable bathroom transformation!
