During the initial consultation, our team visits your space to evaluate the current layout, take precise measurements, and understand your vision, lifestyle requirements, and budget. We discuss practical design possibilities, from walk-in curbless showers to freestanding tubs and custom vanities, helping you visualize the full potential of your bathroom before any construction begins.

Yes, maximizing limited square footage is one of our primary specialties. We utilize strategic space-saving solutions—such as wall-mounted floating vanities, pocket doors, recessed medicine cabinets, built-in shower niches, and frameless glass partitions—to improve movement flow, increase usable storage, and make compact spaces feel significantly larger and brighter.

Selecting moisture-resistant and durable materials is crucial for long-lasting bathroom performance. We recommend porcelain and ceramic tiles for floors and shower walls due to their zero water absorption, quartz or sealed natural stone for countertops, and marine-grade or moisture-resistant cabinetry. For high-touch areas, solid brass plumbing fixtures with durable PVD finishes offer superior corrosion resistance and longevity.

We offer complete flexibility. Sykov Construction can supply and source premium tiles, custom cabinetry, stone slabs, and trusted brand-name fixtures directly through our professional supplier network, often saving you time and securing contractor pricing. Alternatively, if you have already selected or purchased specific fixtures, tiles, or vanity units, our team will gladly install them to exact manufacturer specifications.

Waterproofing is the single most important technical phase of any bathroom remodel. Improperly sealed shower pans, curbs, or walls can lead to hidden water leaks, wood framing rot, costly structural damage, and hazardous mold growth behind your walls. We use premium, industry-leading waterproofing membrane systems (such as Schluter-Kerdi and liquid waterproofing barriers) to create a 100% watertight, sealed envelope before any tile is laid.

If older building materials (such as drywall compound, vinyl sheet flooring, or pipe insulation) are suspected of containing asbestos—especially common in pre-1990 Vancouver homes—our certified asbestos sampling and abatement team safely collects samples, tests them according to WorkSafeBC standards, and performs professional containment and removal. If black mold or hidden water damage is uncovered, we remediate the affected materials and treat the underlying framing before proceeding with construction.

A standard full bathroom remodel typically requires 2 to 4 weeks of active construction, depending on project complexity. This timeline includes demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical updates, shower pan fabrication, waterproofing, precision tile and stone setting, vanity and fixture installation, painting, and final detailing. Custom orders or structural layout changes may extend this timeframe slightly.

Upon finishing all installations, we conduct a comprehensive walkthrough alongside you to verify that every detail meets our strict quality standards. We test all plumbing lines for pressure and drainage, check electrical GFCI circuits and ventilation fans, inspect grout lines and silicone seals, and ensure all fixtures operate flawlessly. Your project is not complete until every punch-list item is resolved to your 100% satisfaction and accompanied by our workmanship warranty.
