Bathroom Remodeling in Catalina Foothills
A Foothills primary bath should feel like the finest room in the house — and we build it to that standard.
Designed for Catalina Foothills
Local Context Shapes Every Decision.
Honed limestone, curbless showers, aged metals, and seamless glass demand precise waterproofing and flawless tile work, so we sweat the hidden details as hard as the visible ones. On architecturally significant homes near Pima Canyon and Sabino Mountain, that discipline is what separates a good bath from a great one.
What’s Included
A Complete, Considered Scope
01
Full tear-out
Foothills baths are often original to the house, which means decades-old shower pans, galvanized or mixed supply lines, and tile set over materials that were never meant to stay wet. We take the room to the studs, correct what we find, and rebuild the shower with a continuous waterproofing system and properly sloped drains.
02
Ventilation + moisture
Large Foothills primary baths hold heat and steam, and hard water leaves its mark on glass and stone. We size and duct exhaust fans to the room, plan for the humidity of a long soak, and choose fixtures and finishes that resist mineral buildup without losing their refined look.
03
Tile + stone installation
Honed limestone, marble mosaics, and large-format porcelain demand flat substrates and careful layout. Our installers plan every cut before setting the first piece, so niches are centered, edges are balanced, and slab and tile transitions are as clean as the design drawings intended.
04
One team, one schedule
Design, construction, and trade coordination stay with one accountable team working from one schedule. For homes with detailed finishes and demanding owners, that single line of responsibility is what keeps the design intact from demolition through the final walkthrough.
Remodeling in the Foothills
How a Foothills bath remodel unfolds.
Remodeling a bath in an established Foothills home follows a clear sequence. Knowing what happens in each phase helps you plan around the work and understand why the hidden steps matter as much as the finishes. It also explains where the budget goes: much of the most important work happens inside the walls and floor.
Protection + demolition.
We protect floors, finishes, and access routes through the house, seal off the work area, and take the bath down to the framing. Older Foothills baths often reveal past leaks or outdated plumbing, and we address them before building anything new. Dust barriers stay in place for the duration of the job.
Rough-in + waterproofing.
Plumbing, electrical, and ventilation are updated to match the design, blocking goes in for grab bars and heavy fixtures, and the shower is waterproofed and tested while everything is still visible. Inspections happen at this stage, before anything is covered.
Stone, tile + finish.
Stone and tile are set, then vanities, counters, glass, and fixtures. We finish with paint, hardware, and sealing, then walk the room with you to confirm every detail matches the plan. Any punch-list items are tracked and closed out promptly.

Selected Work
Refined finishes, built on solid ground.
The Gaudielle bath pairs a freestanding tub and a curbless marble shower with warm gold fixtures. Finishes like these only last when the waterproofing, drainage, and substrate beneath them are done right, which is where every Foothills remodel we build begins. That foundation comes first.

Catalina Foothills Questions
Bathroom remodeling in the Foothills.
Common questions from Foothills homeowners planning a bath remodel. If yours isn’t listed, bring it to your free consultation.
Do you work throughout Catalina Foothills?
Yes — Catalina Foothills and the surrounding Tucson metro are core to our practice, and we know the local trades, suppliers, and permitting.
How much does bathroom remodeling cost in Catalina Foothills?
It depends on scope and finish level. We give every Catalina Foothills homeowner an honest, itemized budget range as part of the design phase — no vague ballparks.
Are you licensed and insured?
Fully licensed and insured in Arizona, and experienced with local inspection and HOA requirements common in Catalina Foothills.
How do we get started?
Book a free consultation. We’ll walk your Catalina Foothills home, talk through your goals, and outline a clear path and budget range.
Can we keep original features of our Foothills home?
Often, yes. Where original tile, beams, or windows suit the house and are in good condition, we design around them and make sure the new work respects their character.
Can a large tub deck be converted to a walk-in shower?
Yes. Replacing an oversized tub deck with a curbless shower is one of the most common Foothills updates. We rework the drain and slope and waterproof the full wet area.
What if we find damage behind the walls?
We show you what we found, explain the fix, and price it before moving forward. Budgets for older Foothills homes are built with these possibilities in mind.
Will the remodel disrupt the rest of the house?
The work area is sealed and floors along the access path are protected. There will be noise during demolition, but the rest of the home stays usable.
Can you remodel for aging in place?
Yes. Curbless entries, benches, handheld sprays, comfort-height fixtures, and blocking for future grab bars can be built in without making the room feel clinical.
Do you coordinate with HOAs in the Foothills?
Yes. Where a community has rules on contractor access, hours, or parking, we plan the schedule around them from the start.
How long does a Foothills bath remodel take?
It depends on scope, selections, and what we find behind the walls. After the design is final, we give you a realistic construction schedule and keep you updated as work progresses.
Do you handle design as well as construction?
Yes. Our design team plans the room, and the same studio manages the remodel through the final walkthrough.
