Bathroom Remodeling in Bloomington, MN

Bathrooms in Bloomington's original ramblers and splits tend to be small, tucked-tight rooms with the same cast-iron tub and tile that went in when the house was framed in the 1950s or 60s. For many of the Bloomington homeowners we work with, the main bath has never been touched, and behind the tile we routinely find galvanized supply lines and subfloor that's soaked up decades of a leaky surround. We plan for that. Because we've opened so many walls in homes of this vintage, our written price accounts for the plumbing and framing surprises these baths usually hide.

A second common request here is carving a real primary bath out of a rambler that never had one. On a single-story house, that often means borrowing space from a closet or a back bedroom, so we design the reconfiguration with the whole floor plan in mind rather than just the four walls of the existing bathroom. We also do a lot of aging-in-place work for longtime residents who want to stay in the Bloomington home they raised a family in, with curbless showers, blocking for grab bars, and comfort-height fixtures built in from the start.

Because these homes were built before modern ventilation standards, we treat exhaust, waterproofing, and moisture control as core parts of the job, not add-ons. MDR is EPA Lead-Safe certified, which matters in a city where a real share of homes predate the lead-paint era cutoff. One team designs and builds the bath, so the tile layout, the niche placement, and the plumbing rough-in are all coordinated before demolition begins, and you're never left chasing separate trades.
