A lot of the bathrooms JH Construction gets called out for in Farmington are original to the house -- 1970s and '80s builds with fiberglass tub surrounds, dated vanities, and grout lines that have long since given up. A remodel here usually means going down to the studs: new plumbing rough-in where needed, cement board instead of green board behind any tile, and a shower pan that's actually waterproofed instead of caulked and hoped for.
Whether it's a full gut remodel, a tub-to-shower conversion, or just swapping out tile and fixtures, JH Construction handles the framing, tile, and finish work as one job instead of you coordinating a plumber, tile setter, and painter separately.
When a bathroom remodel makes sense
- Grout or caulk that keeps failing no matter how often it's redone -- usually a sign the waterproofing behind it is gone
- Soft or spongy flooring near the tub or shower, which points to water damage under the surface
- A tub you want converted to a walk-in shower
- Dated fixtures, vanity, or tile you're ready to replace
- Hard water staining and mineral buildup on fixtures that no amount of cleaning fixes -- common with Farmington's water supply
How a bathroom remodel goes
- Walkthrough & scope -- what's being kept, what's being demoed, and where plumbing needs to move.
- Demo -- old tile, tub, and fixtures come out down to the studs if it's a full remodel.
- Rough-in -- plumbing and electrical get set before anything closes up.
- Waterproofing & tile -- cement board, waterproof membrane at the shower pan and walls, then tile.
- Fixtures & finish -- vanity, toilet, hardware, paint, and a final walkthrough with you.
What affects the price of a bathroom remodel
- Whether plumbing fixtures are staying in place or moving
- Tile material -- ceramic and porcelain run less than natural stone or large-format marble-look tile
- Scope of demo -- a full gut remodel costs more than a surface-level refresh
- Vanity, fixtures, and hardware you choose

Bathroom remodeling questions
How long does a full bathroom remodel take?
A full gut-to-studs bathroom remodel typically runs a few weeks once materials are on site -- demo and framing first, then plumbing rough-in, cement board and tile, then fixtures and finish work. A smaller refresh (new vanity, tile, fixtures without moving plumbing) goes faster.
Do you handle the plumbing and electrical too?
JH Construction manages the full remodel including coordinating plumbing and electrical work as part of the project, so you're not hiring separate trades yourself.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes -- tub-to-shower conversions are one of the more common bathroom jobs we take on, including reworking the drain location and waterproofing the new pan.
What tile options do you install in showers?
We install ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tile in showers and surrounds, and can source large-format and marble-look tile similar to what you'd see in a higher-end remodel.
Do you serve areas outside Farmington for bathroom work?
Yes -- we take bathroom remodels in Kirtland, Aztec, and Bloomfield as well as Farmington itself.
