How We Build

Dry is decided behind the tile

Whether a bathroom stays healthy for twenty years is decided in the layers you'll never see.

Inside the WallRoom Side
1Bathroom wet wall at framing stage with penetrations sealed and the exhaust ducted outside
2Cement board substrate installed on a bathroom wet wall
3Continuous KERDI waterproofing membrane over the shower walls and pan
4Finished tile and stone surface, the only layer of the assembly left visible

Framing, prepped

Penetrations sealed, exhaust ducted outside.

Cement board

A substrate that doesn't feed mold.

KERDI membrane

One continuous waterproof sheet, walls and pan.

Tile and stone

The only layer you'll ever see.

During Construction

The build, week by week

Most bathroom remodels run 4–6 weeks. This is what they look like to live with, night by night.

1
Days 1–3

Demo, behind plastic

A sealed dust barrier and HEPA filtration go up first, then demo happens behind them.

Weeks 1–2

Rough-in

Plumbing and electrical move to their new homes. Water shutoffs are scheduled, short, and on your calendar ahead of time.

3
Weeks 2–4

Wet-area assembly

Cement board, the KERDI membrane, and the pan go in, sealed and inspected before tile. Cure times are real, so the schedule tells the truth about them.

Weeks 4–6

Fixtures and finish

Tile, glass, vanity, paint, punch list. The final 10% isn't billed until you've walked it and signed off.

Common Questions

Bathroom remodeling, answered

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Austin?
A hall or guest bath typically runs $25K–$35K, a primary bath $35K–$50K, and primary suite reconfigurations start around $60K. Every project is priced line by line from a 3D scan of your home and real cost data, so you see a detailed price range within days of the walkthrough. For a range today, the calculator takes two minutes.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Design runs 2–4 weeks, from walkthrough to a complete plan. Construction on most bathrooms runs 4–6 weeks depending on scope, and you know your dates before demo: every phase, trade, and milestone goes into a schedule you sign off on, and we report against it in your client portal every working day.
We only have one bathroom. Can we still remodel?
Yes. We can sequence one-bath projects so you have working plumbing at the end of each working day, and the few exceptions, like the day the toilet is reset, are on the calendar weeks in advance. Many of our clients live through a one-bath remodel without leaving home.
How do you keep a bathroom from growing mold later?
By treating waterproofing as a system instead of a product. Cement board and a continuous KERDI membrane in the wet areas, sealed penetrations, and a humidity-sensing fan ducted outside. It is the same mold-resistant assembly we use across the house, built for Austin’s humidity.
Can you make a bathroom work for aging in place?
Yes, and the best time to decide is during design. Curbless showers, wider doorways, comfort-height fixtures, and blocking in the walls for future grab bars cost little on paper and a lot as retrofits. We model both versions so you can see the difference before committing.
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Austin?
If the work moves walls, plumbing, or electrical circuits, yes, City of Austin permits apply. Pull-and-replace scopes need less. Permitting is scoped during the design phase, so approvals are moving before your schedule is set, and your design team tells you exactly which permits your project carries.
What happens if something unexpected turns up behind the walls?
You get options and real prices, not an ultimatum. Design settles selections and scans the house before pricing, which is why surprise change orders are rare on Enso projects. When something genuinely concealed appears, like corroded supply lines, your superintendent brings you choices with line-item costs. And if design should have caught it, the Enso Guarantee applies – the cost of fixing it is ours.
How do payments work?
The construction contract is fixed price, backed by the completed design, and payments run against construction milestones. You can read how milestone-based pricing works on our process page. The final payment is 10% of the contract, and we don’t bill it until the punch list is complete and you’ve signed off. Three months later we’re back to make sure everything works the way it should, and all the work carries a one-year craftsmanship warranty.
