Is a curbless shower actually watertight long-term?

Yes, when the membrane is properly installed. That's where the entire project is won or lost — we inspect every layer, water-test it, and keep timestamped photos.

Can we keep the existing plumbing?

Often yes, if drains and venting are up to code. In homes older than 40 years we recommend replacing cast-iron stacks while walls are open — it's the right moment.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Longueuil?

Yes as soon as a wall, plumbing or electrical is changed. We file it and manage inspection.

Bathroom renovation

Bathroom renovation in Longueuil

A poorly built bathroom costs you twice: once to install, again when water eventually gets through. We renovate as if we'll be back in ten years — because we rarely are.

Waterproofing is the fault line of any bathroom renovation. We use certified membranes (Schlüter, Wedi) installed by trained tile-setters on every shower — not only curbless ones. Water tests happen before the first tile hits the mortar.

Ventilation is sized to the room volume, not defaulted to a 50 CFM fan. A primary bathroom in Longueuil often needs 90 to 110 CFM with a timer and humidity sensor — otherwise doors swell and plaster flakes within two winters.

We deliver everything: demolition, licensed plumbing, membrane, tile (large format included), a properly built or specified vanity, custom tempered glass, electric heated floor (Ditra-Heat) and finishes.
