BathCRATE is coming to the beautiful little town of La Grange our third bathCRATE of 2014!  We think you’ll agree: this 1980’s ranch-style bathroom will look completely different by the time the CRATE team bids farewell…

Why the Homeowner Chose bathCRATE

Before moving into their new home this client had a short list of “has-to-be-done” projects, and the master bathroom was at the top.  The small corner shower, old carpeting, dated vanity and tile tub surround have seen better days for sure.

The biggest deciding factor for using bathCRATE was the timeline.  Despite extensive add-ons, this project will be complete in half the time that a traditional contractor would take.

Scroll down to see a description of work and take a look at the bathroom as it existed before we began!

BathCRATE Add-Ons

Too many to list, but in general, we’ll be converting the corner shower to a shower room, replacing all the flooring, replacing all lighting and relocating plumbing fixtures.

The bathCRATE Project Scope

The bathCRATE team began the transformation on Thursday, April 3rd,2014.. On day 1 the bathCRATE team set the bathCRATE, installed plastic walls for dust/fume protection, demolished the countertops, backsplash, and shower tile, repaired the counter sub-top, removed the doors and drawers for off-site painting, templated for the new top and prepared the remaining cabinet boxes for prime and paint. During the following days, the bathCRATE crew will:

• • Paint the new cabinets, doors and drawers in Kelly-Moore Black Oak in semi-gloss finish using a top-of-the line Kelly-Moore Dura-Poxy paint.
  • Fabricate and install MSI Sahara Beige quartz countertop and tub surround top with a mitered edge.
  • Supply and install Tilecrest Metro Plus – Cocoa Rum Listello accent tiles to the backsplash at the counter and tub. This will all be grouted using Laticrete Desert Kahki grout.
