Looking for bathroom remodeling in Alexandria or Arlington? At Rust Construction, we’ve been designing and remodeling bathrooms for decades. While bathrooms might be the smallest rooms in your house, they’re among the most important. A well-executed bathroom remodeling project transforms not just the space, but your daily routine and your home’s value.
Our Design-Build Bath Remodel Process
Our design-build approach ensures seamless coordination from initial concept through final installation. We start by understanding how you use the space – whether you need extra storage, aging-in-place features, or accommodations for multiple users. These considerations inform every aspect of our bathroom design process. We also take into consideration the limitations of the existing space, age of the existing home, and your budget.
Behind the Finishes: The Rust Construction Difference
We use proven waterproofing systems, properly pitched surfaces, install blocking for towel bars and other accessories, update wiring and plumbing as needed, correct structural issues and build with materials that stand up to daily use. Our experienced team knows that the details behind the finishes are just as important as the aesthetics. The unseen work can be the difference between a bathroom that only lasts a few years and one that lasts generations.
