A bathroom remodel has a lot of moving parts for such a small room. Demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, glass, cabinetry and paint all have to happen in the right order, and a mistake early on gets buried behind finished walls.
Nova Tiling Pros is a bathroom remodeler based in Arlington, VA. We plan the whole job up front, give you one written scope and one point of contact, and bring in licensed plumbing and electrical trades where the work calls for them. Whether you are updating a dated hall bath or reworking a primary suite, you will know what is happening each day and what it costs before we start.
Signs It Is Time to Remodel Your Bathroom
Some bathrooms are simply tired. Others are telling you something is wrong behind the walls. These are the ones worth acting on sooner rather than later.
- Grout that stays dark, cracks again after patching, or tile that sounds hollow when tapped
- Soft spots in the floor near the tub or toilet, or stains on the ceiling below
- A tub you no longer use, or one that is getting hard to step over
- Poor ventilation, peeling paint or mildew that keeps coming back
- A layout that wastes space: a huge tub deck, a cramped shower, one sink for two people
- Fixtures and finishes from the 1980s or 90s that are dragging down the rest of the house
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services
The most requested project is a shower remodel: out with the fiberglass insert or leaking tile, in with a properly waterproofed tiled shower. Close behind is the tub-to-shower conversion, which turns a standard five-foot alcove into a walk-in shower you will actually use.
For whole-room projects we handle small bathroom remodels where every inch counts, primary bathroom remodels with double vanities and larger showers, and condo bathroom remodels that have to work within building rules. Planning to stay in your home long term? An accessible bathroom remodel adds a low or zero threshold, blocking for grab bars and safer flooring without looking clinical.
We also take on focused upgrades: bathtub replacement, vanity installation and finishing a basement bathroom.
Remodeling Bathrooms in Arlington Homes
Arlington bathrooms tend to be small and old, or small and in a high-rise. Many colonials and ramblers built in the 1940s and 50s have a single 5x8 hall bath with a cast iron tub, plaster walls and galvanized or cast iron drain lines that deserve a look while the walls are open. Condos add rules about hours, noise, elevator use and water shut-offs.
We plan around those realities. Work that changes plumbing or electrical generally needs a permit from Arlington County or the neighboring jurisdiction, and we tell you up front whether your scope does and handle the paperwork if so. Tile-for-tile replacement usually does not. Either way, you get a clear schedule and a protected path from your front door to the bathroom.
How a Nova Bathroom Remodel Runs
A predictable process is the difference between a two-week remodel and a two-month headache.
- Free in-home estimate. We measure, look at what is behind the access panel, talk through layout and finishes, and send a written scope.
- Selections and scheduling. You choose tile and fixtures. We confirm lead times so demolition does not start until materials are on hand.
- Demolition and rough-in. Old finishes come out with dust control in place. Plumbing and electrical changes are made and inspected where required.
- Waterproofing and tile. Wet areas are sealed and flood tested, then tiled and grouted.
- Fixtures and finish. Vanity, toilet, glass, trim and paint go in. We walk the room with you and fix anything on the list before we call it done.
