Bathroom remodeling in Boise still ruins wood when the fan is a liar, dry air or not. The shower stays in the wall. A basement bath sits closer to canal water and a high water table than the tour suggested. Older baths are small. Newer ones often hide a duct that dies in the attic. Find that end before you pick a surround. Scale on the glass is not a waterproofing plan.
Ask what sits behind the new walls and whether the drain stays. Moving a toilet means joists under a basement ceiling you may not love. A prefabricated base and a tiled shower fail in different places. If the bath window weeps through freeze and thaw, fix that opening in the same scope. Scale on the valve is not a reason to skip the membrane. Say if the alcove is out of square.
The fan has to exhaust outdoors. A duct ending in the attic becomes a roof problem when winter condenses what the shower spent all year sending upward. Find the end while the ceiling is open. Recirculating air will not keep a cold corner clean. Grab bars need blocking if the tub is the obstacle, and a curbless opening may mean cutting the floor. Say so before the demo, not after the joists surprise you.
Do not open a windward wall on the last mild day and hope the foothills stay quiet. Interior work still needs a heated house so adhesives can cure. Sort canal water from bath water before you bury a wet stud. Tile on a damp bay will not care that the fixture is new. Slope the floor to the drain or you have built a pond. Caulk will not beat a high water table.
Say the part of Boise, tub or shower, and whether a basement or an outside wall is involved. Mention a fan into the attic or a window that ices. You do not need a design. You need the room, the clay under it, and an honest word about water. Call the number on this page.
