Remodeling Job Stories | Pelham, AL Bathroom Remodeling
I. Project Overview
Ms. Stephanie Branham’s Pelham AL Bathroom remodeling project began in September of 2023, and involved tile replacement, brand new cabinetry and a vanity, and a brand new walk-in shower with a sliding glass door!



II. Project Timeline
Mrs. Branham’s project ran from September of 2023 to January of 2024, which is the typical timeframe for one of our projects. Constant communication and oversight through our project software, Buildertrend, allows all of our clients to be completely aware of all aspects of design and construction from start to finish!

III. Design-Build-Remodel
The project began like most projects begin, by demolishing the old bathroom to make room for the new materials Mrs. Branham chose! It’s also extremely important to lay down protective mats, so that debris doesn’t damage the rest of the house!
Reliable starts every project by installing floor protection for the homes we’ll be working in. Our favorite floor protection is Trimaco X-Board, which has leak resistant protection to prevent any kind of damage from hurting our client’s homes!





The Bathroom demolition was completed on schedule, and so we could begin adjusting the space; Mrs. Branham wanted a glass enclosure for the new shower!
Enclosed showers typically take a ton of prep work, especially when they’re not the only part of a new bathroom remodel!



Reliable also gave Ms. Branham’s Hall Bathroom on the first floor a near identical makeover, except she would be keeping the bathtub in this one!
The plumbing rough had been completed at this point for the hall bath, the tile tub surround is being layered, all with a beautiful acrylic deep tub from Kohler and Delta fixtures.





Back in the Master Bathroom, we completed our punch list and began tackling the drywall, before hanging up the brand new vanity and lighting, and installing a brand new countertop for Ms. Branham’s cabinet!
We installed a Pivotal® Two Handle Widespread Bathroom Faucet In Matte Black for the new sink!
One of the most important parts in waterproofing the subfloor at the entrance of a Curbless shower are the corners. Here we see our tile installer preparing this corner with thinset before his installation of the waterproof pre fabricated corner fabric (the pink stuff). Attention to detail is extremely important in projects like this one!
We also began installing the brand new tile for both the Master and Hall Bathrooms.



Painting had been completed in this main level bathroom, and we were ready for plumbing trim installation, and Shell Plumbing always takes care of our plumbing needs! We also began work on painting the walls and ceiling for both the Master and Hall Bathrooms!






The Master Bathroom shower turned out absolutely spectacularly! We used a Crescent sliding glass door, the same kind we used for Mrs. Nina Gunnin’s shower remodel! We also installed Universal Showering’s H2Okinetic® 5-Setting Angular Modern Raincan Shower Head In Matte Black, and a 7-Setting Slide Bar Hand Shower With Cleaning Spray In Matte Black from Delta fixtures.



IV. Conclusion of the Gunnin Project
Mrs. Branham’s Pelham, AL bathroom remodeling project went off without a single hitch! And to that end, Mrs. Branham posted a wonderful five-star review about us on GuildQuality!

“I have used Reliable for the majority of my house repairs/enhancement projects and they have always done an excellent job…I was most satisfied with the quality of the finished project…I heard about Reliable Remodeling for the first time from a mailer. I have been using them for years…The other thing I want to say is that the contractors they use are extremely professional and easy to work with.“
