The Process

How We Remodel Your Bathroom

01

Design Consultation & Scope

Homeowner and designer reviewing a bathroom remodel layout in Jacksonville NC
Step 1
Every successful bathroom remodel starts with a clear scope. We meet on-site to understand your goals — aesthetics, accessibility, storage — and map them against budget before any demo happens.
  • Layout assessment: Evaluating whether the existing plumbing footprint works or whether fixture relocation is cost-justified.
  • Material selection guidance: Honest tradeoff discussions on tile, vanity, shower, and fixture quality tiers.
  • Budget-first scoping: Real numbers upfront, including a contingency for anything hidden behind the walls.
02

Permits & Pre-Construction

Tile and fixture samples laid out for selection in Onslow County
Step 2
Bathroom remodels that involve moving plumbing, electrical, or walls require Onslow County permits. We handle the paperwork.
  • Permit application: Submitting scope and plans to county for plumbing, electrical, and structural review.
  • Material ordering: Long-lead items like custom vanities, tile, and fixtures ordered before demo to minimize downtime.
  • Protection and containment: Plastic dust barriers, floor protection, and HVAC containment installed before demo begins.
03

Controlled Demolition

Step 3
Demo is where hidden problems surface — rot, leaks, substandard wiring, or moisture behind tile. We demo carefully to document everything before moving forward.
  • Selective demo: Removing tile, fixtures, and substrate while protecting adjacent finishes.
  • Hidden damage documentation: Photographing any rot, mold, or code issues exposed during demo for the change-order process.
  • Debris removal: Daily jobsite cleanup and dumpster service — no piles of debris sitting in your home for days.
04

Plumbing & Electrical Rough-In

Step 4
Licensed plumbers and electricians handle all rough-in work, inspected by the county before walls are closed up.
  • PEX or copper supply lines: Modern water supply with proper shutoffs at every fixture.
  • Code-compliant drain venting: Proper drain sizes, traps, and vents for every relocated fixture.
  • GFCI-protected circuits: New bathroom circuits with GFCI protection, proper lighting, and ventilation fan wiring.

05

Waterproofing & Substrate

Step 5
The difference between a 5-year bathroom and a 25-year bathroom is usually the waterproofing layer beneath the tile.
  • Schluter KERDI or RedGard membrane: Full waterproofing membrane over wall and floor substrates in the shower area.
  • Cement board or Schluter XPS boards: Moisture-tolerant substrate — never drywall or green board — behind shower tile.
  • Pre-sloped shower pan: Factory pre-sloped foam pans or mud pans sloped to the drain at 1/4 inch per foot.
06

Tile, Flooring & Surface Finish

Step 6
Tile is the most visible part of a bathroom remodel. Proper layout and installation make the difference between a magazine look and a DIY look.
  • Dry-laid layout first: Tiles dry-set before any mortar to plan cuts, focal points, and grout lines for the best visual result.
  • Large-format tile techniques: Back-buttering and medium-bed mortar for proper adhesion on 12x24 and larger tiles.
  • Epoxy or sanded grout: Chosen based on joint width and moisture exposure, sealed after curing.
07

Fixtures, Vanity & Finish Install

Step 7
The last 20% of a bathroom remodel is the most visible — fixtures, vanity, mirror, hardware, and trim. We install everything to manufacturer spec and test every connection.
  • Vanity installation: Set level and square, sealed to the wall, with full-extension drawer testing.
  • Fixture installation: Faucets, showerheads, diverters, and drains installed to manufacturer torque specs with leak testing.
  • Accessory hardware: Towel bars, TP holders, hooks, and mirrors placed per your preferences and fastened into blocking.
08

Final Inspection & Walkthrough

Step 8
Before we call the job done, every fixture is tested, every surface is cleaned, and you walk the space with us.
  • County final inspection: Onslow County inspector signs off on plumbing, electrical, and structural work.
  • Leak test: Every fixture and drain is run under real-world conditions to confirm no leaks before punch list.
  • 5-year workmanship warranty: Covering tile, waterproofing, plumbing connections, and finishes.

Waterproofing Done Right Lasts 25+ Years

Bathroom Remodeling Specialists

The difference between a 5-year bathroom and a 25-year bathroom is usually the waterproofing layer beneath the tile. We use full Schluter KERDI membranes, pre-sloped pans, and moisture-tolerant substrates on every shower we build — because water finds every shortcut, and fixing a leaking shower means tearing out everything above it.

Veteran Owned - Fair Pricing

As a Veteran-Owned business, custom-tailored service is our mission. We are dedicated to helping military service members and their families throughout the entire East Coast area. We provide fair, transparent pricing—often 30% less than big-box competitors—for Onslow County residents.

Bathroom Build Standards

Waterproofing, Tile Craft & Licensed Trades

At Parade Rest Services, quality isn't just a buzzword—it's the foundation of everything we do. We combine advanced roofing technology with time-honored craftsmanship to deliver turnkey results that exceed industry standards across the entire East Coast.

Full Waterproofing Membrane

Schluter KERDI or RedGard Systems

Every shower we build gets a full waterproofing membrane over the substrate — not just water-resistant backer board. Schluter KERDI or liquid-applied RedGard systems create a 100% waterproof shell that prevents the hidden leaks destroying most bathroom remodels within 5-10 years.

Licensed Trades, Permitted Work

Plumbing & Electrical Inspected

Plumbing and electrical work is handled by licensed trades, permitted with Onslow County, and inspected at rough and final stages. Unpermitted bathroom work voids your insurance and surfaces during home inspections when you sell. We never skip it.

Precision Tile Craft

Dry-Laid Layout & Back-Buttered Install

Every tile layout is dry-laid before any mortar goes down — ensuring balanced cuts, symmetric focal points, and clean grout lines. Large-format tiles are back-buttered with medium-bed mortar for proper adhesion and lippage-free surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

A straightforward bathroom remodel where fixtures stay in place typically takes 3-5 weeks from demo to final inspection. Remodels that relocate plumbing, expand the footprint, or add custom tile work run 5-8 weeks. Material lead times can add 2-4 weeks before demo starts if you're using custom vanities or specialty tile.

Do I need a permit to remodel my bathroom?

Yes for most projects. Any work that moves plumbing, changes electrical, adds/removes walls, or adds a new fixture requires permits from Onslow County. A pure cosmetic refresh (painting, hardware swap) may not, but we recommend permitting any remodel with fixture changes to protect your resale value and insurance.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Jacksonville NC?

A budget refresh (new fixtures, tile, paint) runs $8,000-$15,000. A mid-range full remodel with new vanity, tile shower, plumbing relocation, and quality finishes runs $18,000-$35,000. High-end master baths with custom tile work, soaking tubs, and premium fixtures run $40,000-$70,000+. We provide line-item estimates so you see exactly what drives the price.

Can I still use my bathroom during the remodel?

No — during active construction the bathroom will be fully offline for roughly 2-4 weeks. If it's your only bathroom, we'll plan a temporary shower solution and sequence the work to minimize downtime. Homes with a second bathroom rarely need any workaround.

Should I do a bathroom remodel before selling my home?

Usually yes, if the existing bathroom is dated or in poor condition. Bathrooms are one of the top resale-value drivers in coastal NC markets. A $20-25k mid-range remodel typically returns 55-70% of its cost at resale, plus it makes the home sell faster. Don't over-improve, though — match the quality to the neighborhood.

Can you convert a tub into a walk-in shower?

Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most common bathroom projects, especially for older homeowners who want to eliminate the step-over. We handle the plumbing relocation, waterproofing, tile, and glass door installation. If the home has only one tub, we usually recommend keeping it for resale value.

Serving Onslow County, NC and surrounding areas

Bathroom Remodeling Contractors in Jacksonville NC

Parade Rest Services is a licensed NC General Contractor remodeling bathrooms throughout Jacksonville, Swansboro, Sneads Ferry, and the surrounding communities. We handle everything from simple vanity swaps to full gut-and-replace master bath overhauls with walk-in tile showers, heated floors, and custom finishes.

Proper Waterproofing

The most common bathroom remodel failure we see is improper waterproofing behind tile. Contractors using drywall (or even standard cement board) without a proper membrane end up with water intrusion, mold, and rot within 5-7 years. Every shower we build uses a full Schluter KERDI or liquid-applied waterproofing membrane, pre-sloped pan, and moisture-tolerant substrate. Done right, your tile shower lasts decades.

Licensed Trades, Permitted Work

Plumbing and electrical work is handled by licensed trades, permitted with Onslow County, and inspected at rough and final stages. Unpermitted bathroom work voids your homeowners insurance if there's a leak or fire, and it surfaces during home inspections when you go to sell.

Military-Friendly Scheduling

We coordinate with PCS timelines for Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station families who need a bathroom remodel completed before a move or to prep a home for listing. Tell us your deadline and we'll build a schedule around it.
