It's What's Behind the Tile That Lasts.
Skip gets the waterproofing right first, then finishes it beautifully. Northern Virginia bathrooms built with no shortcuts where it counts.
Cracked grout, a tub you never use, or a layout that wastes space?
Bathrooms take more daily abuse than any room in the house. When the waterproofing was done cheaply, you get soft floors, mildew, and damage hiding inside the walls — and cosmetic-only remodels just paint over those problems.
Skip rebuilds bathrooms the right way: proper membranes and slopes first, then custom vanities, tile, and fixtures on a foundation that won't fail.

Longevity lives beneath the surface
Beautiful tile over bad waterproofing is a slow-motion disaster. Here's the build-up Skip gets right, in order — so the part you see lasts as long as the part you don't.
Waterproof Membrane
Industry-leading membrane and pan systems create a 100% watertight seal behind every shower and floor.
Precision Tile
Every grout line planned and every surface set dead-level — the part everyone sees and judges.
Finish & Fixtures
Vanities, glass, lighting, and hardware installed clean and true for a flawless final look.
Common questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A typical full bath runs two to four weeks, depending on tile scope and whether the layout changes. Waterproofing and tile can't be rushed — that curing time is what makes it last.
Is a small bathroom worth remodeling?
Absolutely — powder rooms and small baths often deliver the best return, and smart layout changes can make a compact space feel far larger.
What if you find water damage or mold?
Skip will show you what he finds and explain the options honestly before doing extra work — no scare tactics, no surprise charges tacked on mid-job.
What Northern Virginia Homeowners Say
“I hired Skip and his crew to remodel my basement with a bathroom remodel, and they also remodeled my upstairs bathroom and kitchen. Then I hired them to expand my deck as well. Everything came out wonderful, on time and on budget — a great company that I will continue to work with on my home.”
“He rebuilt my deck after it was damaged by a fire from my grill. He and Tommy rebuilt it in record time, to my specs, and for a reasonable price. This is a good company that won't give you the runaround, and they are respectful to women — which means a lot if you're a single mom who owns your own house. Two thumbs up.”
“We hired Skip and crew to open up a stairwell in our 1939 Cape Cod. Their bid was competitive and the outcome is terrific! They showed up every day on time, the work was superb, and they cleaned up at the end of each day. The job finished on schedule. Highly recommend.”
“I told Skip I wanted to tear down my old deck and build a new one to Fairfax County code. The result: doubled in size, permitted, and it looks so much better. I'm convinced this well-built deck will be here long after the house falls away. Great job by great people. He's a straight shooter who does great work at a reasonable price — I whole-heartedly recommend Skip's Carpentry.”
“We had at least five bids for a complete remodel of our deck, pergola, and fence. Skip's quote was competitive and actually split into costs for materials and labor — very transparent. Skip is authentic and a straight shooter. One contractor said we needed a complete redo of the frame and posts; Skip disagreed, and it turned out he was right! We're very pleased with the end result.”
“I found Skip on Yelp and called based on the great reviews. I had a buckled board in my entryway. Skip answered my call — on a Sunday, when I expected to leave a message — and came by the next morning. He screwed the board down free of charge. I'm definitely planning on calling him again when we redo our deck next year.”
“Highly recommended. Skip and his crew built a new deck using existing structures and about doubled the size of usable space. The new deck is extremely solid and the finish work beautiful. Price was very competitive.”
“Skip was a breeze to work with on our deck replacement. Like other reviewers have said — he's no nonsense, but honest and forthright. I'd recommend him any day!”
