One Contract Covering the Entire Bathroom
Bathroom remodeling in Raleigh for builder-grade baths that need a complete update
A large share of Triangle-area homes constructed in the past two to three decades left the bathroom as the last room to receive any real investment—original vanities, tub surrounds, and flooring were installed to a builder minimum and have remained untouched since. 99 Service Solutions handles full bathroom remodels in Raleigh, covering tile, fixtures, vanities, flooring, and paint under one contract so that every trade is coordinated by a single licensed owner rather than handed off between separate crews you have to schedule independently. What changes at the end of a completed remodel is specific and visible: surfaces that were stained, cracked, or dated are replaced, and the room functions differently because the layout and fixtures were chosen for how the space is actually used.
The process begins with a walkthrough to confirm the existing plumbing rough-in locations, verify the layout will work with the selected fixtures, and finalize finish selections before demolition starts. Waterproofing is completed before any tile goes up—a step that is often skipped by contractors who are not responsible for the full scope of work. The project moves through tile and fixture installation to a final paint and trim pass, all under the same licensed and insured contractor.
Arrange a walkthrough with 99 Service Solutions to confirm your layout, plumbing positions, and finish selections before the project scope is finalized.
Why a Single-Contractor Remodel Works Differently
When tile, plumbing fixtures, flooring, and painting are handled by separate subcontractors, the sequencing risk falls on the homeowner. A tile setter who finishes before the vanity is confirmed can create conflicts at the base that require cutting work out. 99 Service Solutions coordinates all of those trades internally, which means the rough-in check, waterproofing, and finish sequence are planned together rather than reconciled after the fact. The owner has more than 23 years in the trade and has held a North Carolina license since 2022, which is the credential required to pull permits on work that touches plumbing supply or drain lines.
After the remodel is complete, the changes are observable at every surface: grout lines are consistent and sealed, fixtures operate correctly from day one, and paint is applied after tile and trim so the final room appearance is clean rather than showing overspray and edge cuts from an earlier visit. Homes in Cary and other Triangle communities with original builder baths often show the biggest functional improvement in shower access and vanity storage, where the original configuration was sized for resale rather than daily use.
Before signing any remodeling contract, confirm in writing which items are included in the quote—specifically whether fixtures, the vanity, and haul-away of demolished material are covered—and which items remain the homeowner's responsibility. Ambiguity on those points is the most common source of scope disputes on bathroom projects.
Answers About How the Work Is Done
The questions below address how a bathroom remodel actually proceeds, including the decisions made during the job that affect the finished result in Raleigh homes where plumbing layouts and original finishes vary.
What is confirmed during the initial walkthrough before demolition starts?
The walkthrough establishes where the existing plumbing rough-in is located, whether the planned fixture selections will work with those positions, and which finish materials have been chosen, so demolition does not begin until all of those variables are resolved.
Why does waterproofing happen before tile installation rather than being skipped to save time?
In a shower enclosure, waterproofing the pan and lower wall surfaces before tile goes up is what prevents water from migrating into the substrate; tile alone is not a water barrier, and skipping this step is the leading cause of mold and substrate failure behind shower walls.
How is the sequencing of trades managed so one scope does not create problems for the next?
Because 99 Service Solutions handles tile, fixtures, flooring, and paint under one contract, the sequence is planned before work starts—flooring goes in after tile and plumbing so cuts are made to fit around set fixtures rather than the other way around.
What should a homeowner verify once tile work is finished before the rest of the project continues?
Check that grout joints are consistent in width across the installation, that no hollow spots exist behind tiles by tapping lightly across the surface, and that the grout has been sealed before the shower is used.
How does the condition of an original builder-grade bath affect how demolition is planned?
Builder-grade tub surrounds installed over drywall rather than cement board often reveal moisture damage once removed, so the walkthrough includes checking for soft spots at the floor and base of walls before a demo scope is confirmed.
99 Service Solutions also handles bathroom remodeling in Chapel Hill, Durham, Cary, Wake Forest, and Garner. To move forward, schedule a walkthrough so the layout, plumbing positions, and finish package can be reviewed before a written scope is prepared.
