We have over 30 years of bathroom remodeling experience, and have received the Angie's List Super Services award in 2009, 2010 2011, and 2012 and 2013. Call us today, its almost like guaranteed success! A professional bathroom renovation company, providing exceptional design services. We are capable of building custom cabinets and are best known for our unique storage solutions. All work is completed by our own staff of trained professionals.
Description of Work: Another excellent job by Budget Bath for us, this time to turn our storage room (with toilet, washer, dryer) into a bona fide separate full bathroom, laundry area (w/d and utility sink), basement storage area under the room with "trap door" access, and open area for projects. David House and his crew are truly detail-oriented and that makes all the difference. The results is beautiful, functional, and will last until they carry me out feet first (which I don't plan to have happen for some decades yet).

Description of Work: I cannot say enough good things about the team at Budget Bath! | |I recently renovated my Master Bath with them. They were much less expensive than any other contractor. But their quality and commitment was above and beyond. | |Despite changes in the design, the price didn't really go up. David (their lead guy) fixed some electrical problems in the bathroom that were linked to problems in the whole house. | |Quality--the tile work is INCREDIBLE and detailed. They are very meticulous with their work, from framing and dry wall to final paint touch up's. | |I really cannot recommend them more highly and I am VERY picky when it comes to contractor work!

Description of Work: Dave and his team installed a bathroom on our first floor off the kitchen. Dave brought in samples every day, answered my questions, listened to my design ideas and gave advice on how to make it into the best bathroom possible. They took special care with my animals to make sure they were safe from open doors while they made trips to and from their vehicle. The work space was cleaned every day before they left. I felt very comfortable with them in the house and recommend them to anyone looking for a professional team to install a quality bathroom.

Description of Work: We were hoping to get a dream bathroom and that's what Budget Bath delivered. Dave was great at staying in touch, walking us through the process, exploring the pros and cons of different features, and working with us when we had thoughts or opinions on what we wanted to have in our bathroom. In the end we ended up with a beautiful, functional, and affordable bathroom that exceeded our expectations. We were very hesitant at first to take the plunge into such a project but it paid off in the end. Given that this was the first major remodeling project in our house, my word of advice would be to be patient, be decisive in what you want, but also be open to suggestions. This is not HGTV where the whole experience can be edited to less than an hour. Sometimes there are delays, backorders, or misunderstandings, but the Budget Bath team will bend over backwards if things don't go according to plan (and in my experience they never do) to get back on track, make things right and leave you a 100 percent happy with the results.

Thank You [member name removed]. We really appreciate the compliments. You deserve much credit too with your ideas and suggestions. It really takes all of us working together to get the renovation just right. The house was built in the early 1900's and had plenty of construction challenges. Dealing with old plaster on brick walls and sagging floor joists is difficult to overcome and make to look " normal " but our talented staff modified and corrected each critical area with precision. The final bathroom space is level and straight. The tile and mosaics our client selected really added so much style to the space. They have excellent taste. One special feature we added was the 18 inch deep double sink vanity and that extra 3 inches of saved space made such a difference. It really is attention to detail and the little things that Budget Bath Inc. pays attention to that is most noticeable when the job is complete. We are happy for our client. David House

Description of Work: The estimator that came out to the house was highly unfriendly and unprofessional to say the least. He did not take any time at all to talk to me about what I was looking for. He measured the bathroom and then told me that it would take 2-3 weeks to get an estimate because he was just too busy with other estimates. I never heard back from him.

I appreciate this clients review and I am sure she means well. I personally visited this site to provide an estimate. I evaluated the project and listened carefully to what she wanted. The bathroom had a sloped ceiling and was poorly constructed altogether. I could tell she was not interested in quality because I mentioned several options that would have created a successful renovation. She was not interested in making anything better. She wanted an estimate right away and I told her I would do my best. Yes, we are very busy and for a good reason. People trust our designs and recommendations and our reputation is impeccable. Yet, to accommodate her need for a fast quote, I sent an email with basic cost factors and explanations of what we could do. She seemed only interested in price so I simply gave her what she wanted. We have all A's from clients we actually do work for and we are proud of that. Sometimes we care more about our clients' bathrooms than they do. If you know how to do a job right its kind of hard to do it wrong. We choose not to invest our time and creativity with clients who lack the discretion to know what is good workmanship and what is bad. warm regards David A. House owner / Budget Bath Inc.

Description of Work: They renovated our master bathroom. This company was the only one to think outside of the box to redesign the way that the bathroom was laid out. A number of other companies were insistent that they had to leave the layout the way it was, which is what we hated about the bathroom! The company had us sold from the beginning when the owner came to do his quote for us. The staff that came to do the work on our house were all very nice and professional. The reason for the decreased ratings: 1) Despite asking about tile selection at the time we signed the contract, the owner kept saying: we'll do that later. Well, the lack of planning on their part (on getting us to look at tile samples and make the decision earlier) caused us to have a delay in the rest of the bathroom being completed. Highly frustrating when we specifically asked when we could see the samples they had for us so we could make the decision (their samples were horrible. The positive: Thankfully, he was willing to get us something else and was willing to go with us to different stores to pick out a tile for the bathroom). 2) Punctuality & Responsiveness : Staff would tell us they'd be there the next morning and sometimes nobody would arrive (they claim this was due to an emergency with the Project Manager, however, they should have backup plans when something like this happens and should always make sure to let the owner know what is going on). Emails or texts to the owner/sales person would go unanswered and he'd claim he never received them. We were told the bathroom would be completed in 2 weeks but it took at least 3 weeks. Some of this delay was that again, they did not plan ahead and when it was time to put in our medicine cabinet they realized that it was damaged so they had to order a new one. The new one they put in still had some faults in it (frustrating to have to live with dings in a brand new medicine cabinet) but we were sick of dealing with the construction so let it go. 3) Quality & Price - the grout job was "decent"- less than a year later there are craters in our floor grout. The price was much higher than other quotes and for the price, you'd think you'd get to choose more items - they never let us choose our lights, our faucets, our shower head. I did make sure to write into the contract that we'd get a specific type of metal so at least that worked out well. Overall we were satisfied with the end product, but were frustrated along the way with the delays. I will give the company high marks for being able to schedule us in and holding the spot for us while we decided. I was 8 months pregnant and wanted all construction done before the baby was born.

After reading this review all I could think of was "GOSH" what else did we have to do to make this client happy? I guess absolute perfection may have earned us an A. We tried to please this client but it almost sounds like she could run Budget Bath Inc. better than we can. We created a beautiful bathroom for this nice young couple. We plan very well indeed. It was unfortunate that the tile they selected had gone out of stock, but we adjusted professionally by offering another comparable selection. The change caused a minor delay but the ultimate goal is a beautiful bathroom not how long it takes. I can't remember exactly the personal issue with our production manager, but I believe his wife gave birth during that renovation. So I am disappointed this client would not be more understanding and share some grace. We did a great job and that's the most important thing. warm regards David A. House

Thank you [member name removed]for such a kind and honest review. The new bathroom is beautiful. It is so much more than a typical renovation. We did exceed our client's budget. The overall final cost of the bathroom was the result of the upgrade selections our client decided to have installed. Our base price model for the same space was significantly less. We added a custom linen cabinet, upgraded our tub to a more luxurious model, installed a special order double sink vanity to save space instead of using a boring standard stock unit from a local store and the awesome tile our client selected was above our allowance too. All of the upgrades were necessary to create such a unique finished product and is the main reason she is so pleased with the results. I give my client credit for making great choices and for being so creative and also for keeping an open mind about my ideas. A bathroom is the most used room in a person's home. [member name removed] new bathroom will bring her elements of joy every time she walks in. She made a smart investment even if it cost a little more. We have clients who love there new bathrooms so much they want to take it with them when they move ! warm regards David House

Description of Work: They renovated my dad's bathroom. Unfortunately, they could not do their best work. My jobless older brother was disruptive throughout the entire process (ie, shortening their work time without prior notice, not opening the door to let them in while I was at work, even calling the police). Even so, they did a fairly descent job, considering all the unnecessary problems they put up with on a daily basis.

Thank you [Member's name removed] for your review. We deserve an " A+ " for this review. Why [Member's name removed] decided on a " B " is a mystery. He was very forthcoming in the events he describes and the unnecessary difficulties we endured while renovating his bathroom. We delivered a beautiful new bathroom to our client. It is flawless, however, the real story is what we overcame during the process. Our entire staff of carpenters, plumbers, drywall finishers, painters and tile installers braved insults, multiple police inquiries, unreasonable requests to leave on short notice, we were also denied entry almost on a daily basis from [Member's name removed] brother who suffers from some undisclosed disorder. I salute [Member's name removed] who was so gracious in his handling of each situation. He really went out of his way to accommodate us whenever he could. I feel so sorry for the gentleman. Without his efforts, we never would have finished. Our agreement was actually with the Father and owner of the home. I am sorry to announce that he passed away before the job was completed. We designed a special bathroom for the Father so he could enjoy the new space and some of the special access features we created just for him so he could remain independent in his own home as long as possible. The client selected his tile and paint colors from our presentation. We paid attention to detail as we normally do and built a spectacular new space. I will try to attach a photo of the completed bathroom at some point, but it was basically flawless. Why [Member's name removed] chose to give us a " B " is the final strange event from a three week project that featured more bizarre days than one would expect to witness in a year . Most contractors would have simply bailed out of the job. We were, at times, afraid for our safety. Our electrician walked through the house with a hammer in his hands at all times because he was afraid of the individual living there who appeared to be a bit unstable. I even threatened to call the AA county Health Department and have an investigator come to the house if he did not start treating us with respect. We deserve an " A " for our workmanship and design excellence. We also deserve an " A " for handling a very awkward situation in a professional manner. I am also delivering the truth. I hope [member's name removed] reconsiders his grade and gives Budget Bath Inc and all the hard working, honest and talented members of our team the proper recognition they deserve.

Initial visit discussed, design ideas, materials, tile, paint, vanity, tub and toilet types. David arrived punctually, was very knowledgeable, showed flexibility in terms of design ideas. After contract signed, work started as agreed.Staff was courteous, on time and cleaned up before leaving daily. As with any job of this size, things did not always go perfectly and as with many jobs of some duration there was some slippage in the professionalism over time. Also, near the end there seemed to be a little disorganization as our job overlapped with the next job they were starting. However, David made every effort to remedy those things that we found problematic, in a friendly and courteous manner. Changes to the design or materials as the project proceeded never were a problem. Each bathroom had one area that proved to be a challenge. In the master bath, the structural problems for putting in the orginal quoted Pocket Door made it a more costly option than thought in the beginning. French Doors with "frosted glass" were offered as a same cost alternative. The frosted glass ended up as a "paper/plastic ruboff "version. Not sure if that was really equal value. In the main bath, filled in hole never got to the smooth finish of the wall around it. Patchwork remains discernible to the eye, but acceptable. With all that being said, the overall work on balance was done well, timely and with a minimum of disruption to our household, which includes 3 cats and 2 birds.The staff was courteous and respectful to us at all times. Every attempt was made to correct or compensate for any shortcoming. The bottom line to all that is that I would use the services of Budget bath again and would recommend them to family and friends.
Description of Work: Complete remodel of two bathrooms. Demolished both baths to the frame work and subfloors. Master bath: converted tub area to oversized shower; installed new lighting with heating element, tile and paint combo walls; tile floors and shower; Pocket Door proposed, but changed to French doors for entrance; vanity and toilet. Main hall bath also completely gutted Tub and shower; vanity and toilet; Tile work with a variety of contrast highlights wall and floor; Paint and tile walls. new light fixtures

Estimate came in 6x higher than previous high estimate for a small repair job. Estimator needed to reach the business owner for a consult but owner did not answer phone calls.
Description of Work: Needed estimate for drywall repair and painting of master bathroom (4x8).
David House was prompt for sales appointment. His design ideas were a great match for what we had in mind. He convinced us that he was the person for the job by inviting us to look at his own home, which had wainscoting exactly like we wanted. He worked with us throughout the process being more than willing to make changes as we requested, many of which he initiated. We have dealt with other top-of-the-line contractors and his work is as good or better than any we've seen. David tells his customers that the job will turn out better than you expect, and in our case, it was true. We plan to call on him to redo our kitchen.
Description of Work: Removed all fixtures, tile walls and all floors. Repaired plumbing, installed new subfloor, tub, sink and toilet. Installed tile on floors and tub area. Installed wainscoting 5' high on all non-tile walls. Installed surface-mounted medicine cabinet and storage cabinet and small shelves. Painted all paintable surfaces. Installed ceiling fan and vanity light fixture.

All work was done by Mr. House and his helpers. He was very helpful in assisting us in our color and cabinetry choices. Mr. House was punctual, kept us informed of progress and any scheduling issues. The quality of work was outstanding. Everyday the work area was cleaned up. We had a small problem with the mirror slightly cracking and Mr. House backed up his work and agreed to replace at no cost.
Description of Work: Replaced sink with Corian, new cabinet, new mirror, new toilet, all new fixtures and new floor.

I cannot say enough about this company. They were excellent from the initial consult and estimate to completion. My favorite part about the entire process is that the owner, David House walked me through everything in detail before his team began the work. He even let me know that the estimate was solid...this meant the price he gave me was the price I would have to pay. If he found something additional in the work process, he would handle it no added cost. The sales rep Mandy was also great with coordinating schedules. More than anything else I require communication from people I contract with. All my calls to Budget Bath were returned and answered promptly. Any questions or issues addressed immediately. The workers were also great! They were very nice, courteous, professional and very skilled at what they do. Cleanup was also done well each and every time. The job was done on time and as scheduled. I truly felt my satisfaction was important to them. I will use them again soon!
Description of Work: Budget Bath took apart my entire bathroom. They put in a new tub and toilet. In addition, they updated my cabinets and laid a new tile floor.
