Case Study
Walk-in shower, Eastside
The homeowner originally called Sapphire Remodeling about a simple tub-to-shower conversion. Once we looked closer at the space, it became clear the project would go further: the subfloor and framing behind the old tub needed attention, and the homeowner decided to remodel the entire bathroom rather than patch around the problem.
The bathroom was taken down to the studs. That meant updating the plumbing, adding insulation, and rebuilding the space from the ground up rather than working around what was already there. The new shower was built with a full glass enclosure, a built-in bench, and floor-to-ceiling tile. Sapir managed the project day to day, including staying on top of suppliers when there were issues with colors, measurements, and delivery timelines that could have pushed the schedule back.
The new shower feels significantly more open than the old tub setup, and the room reads brighter overall thanks to the glass enclosure and lighter tile. The photo above shows the finished shower.
We hired Sapphire Remodeling for a tub-to-shower conversion, but after looking closer, we decided to remodel the entire bathroom. They took it down to the studs, updating plumbing, adding insulation, and rebuilding it completely. From day one, everyone was kind and easy to talk to. Sapir walked us through options we wouldn’t have known to ask about, and went above and beyond to coordinate everything. The crew was efficient, showed up on time, kept things organized, and always took a moment to explain what they were doing behind the walls instead of just brushing us off.
The biggest headache actually came from the suppliers. There were issues with colors, measurements, and delivery timelines, and at a few points we were worried those mistakes were going to push the whole project back. Sapir handled all of that for us. She stayed on top of the suppliers, chased down corrections, kept following up when timelines changed, and made sure the right materials actually showed up. We honestly would not have wanted to deal with that part ourselves.
The client portal was also another thing that was a plus, it made everything much easier because we could see the schedule, progress, and updates as the project moved along without constantly having to ask what was happening next.
The new shower feels so much more open, and the whole room is brighter and more comfortable. Couldn’t be happier!
