Bathroom Renovation Essentials
Featured Bathroom Renovation Project
"Southpaw Homes completed a large reno in our home of three full bathrooms, front foyer and laundry room. To say we were satisfied with the job would be an understatement! Jeremy and all the guys at Southpaw did a tremendous job from the first day we met to the last day of the project."

Worry-Free Bathroom Renovation at a Fixed Price
A fixed price brings calm to a room where details really matter. Your budget and scope are settled before demolition, so you know exactly what the investment covers and when the work will finish. That clarity makes choosing tile, fixtures, lighting, and glass straightforward, and it keeps financing and scheduling simple.
We document the bathroom in one clear scope that includes the shower assembly and waterproofing method, ventilation specs, fixture list, tile layout, and glass timelines. Suppliers confirm availability, our trades quote to that scope, and your agreement spells out products and installation standards, not vague allowances. If you decide to tweak something—change a faucet, adjust the tile pattern, add a niche—you get a written price and timing note before we proceed. You stay in control while the project stays on track.
Our Bathroom Renovation Process
A clear plan keeps a bathroom renovation calm and predictable. Our five-phase process puts decisions first, then builds to the plan.
Discovery and planning
We measure, map plumbing and ventilation routes, and check for moisture issues. You receive practical options and a realistic timeline before any work begins.
Design assist
We finalize layout, shower or tub selection, niches, lighting, and storage. Tile, quartz, fixtures, glass, and accessories are chosen with real lead times noted so the design holds during construction.
Competitive bidding
Each trade receives a written scope. We gather multiple quotations, reconcile inclusions, and confirm inspection and fabrication dates. Pricing and schedule align to a build-ready plan.
Build
Protection goes in, then demolition, rough-ins, and waterproofing. We use proven systems like Schluter and complete required tests before tile. You receive weekly JobTread updates with photos, schedule status, and what is next.
Turnover and warranty
We complete a detailed walk-through, finish touch-ups, and review care and maintenance. You receive a digital package with selections and contacts, plus a 1-year workmanship warranty on the renovation.
A Message From Our Founder
Jeremy Harper
"Bathrooms look simple until water finds a weak point. I care about the parts you cannot see as much as the tile you can. That means correct substrate, proper waterproofing, slopes that drain, and ventilation that keeps the room dry. When those fundamentals are right, the finishes stay beautiful.
I keep the process straightforward and responsive. You will have one point of contact, a clear sequence, and updates you can rely on. If you are in Nanaimo or anywhere on Central Vancouver Island and thinking about a bathroom renovation, I am happy to look at your space and talk through smart options."
