Custom Bathroom Remodeling in North Shore And New Orleans, LA 

Most bathroom remodels we complete in New Orleans take 4 to 8 weeks. A refresh that keeps the current layout, like a new vanity, tile and fixtures, sits near the shorter end. Jobs that move plumbing, change the layout or strip the room to the studs take longer. Special-order tile, fixtures and shower glass can add time, and older homes sometimes hide rot or old pipes behind the walls that need fixing first. We give you a clear schedule during planning.

Yes, but you may need to adjust daily routines depending on the extent of the renovation. We strive to minimize disruption.

Most of our bathroom remodels in New Orleans cost between $15,000 and $50,000 or more. The final number depends on the amount of tile work, any plumbing changes, the fixtures you choose, and whether a new layout needs structural work. Older homes can add cost when repairs turn up behind walls or under floors. For a quick personalized range, use the instant estimate tool on our pricing page, then book an in-home consultation for numbers based on your actual bathroom.

In most cases, yes. A bathroom remodel usually needs a building permit from the City of New Orleans, though light cosmetic work like painting does not. Replacing a toilet, sink, tub or shower also needs a separate plumbing permit from the Sewerage and Water Board, filed by a licensed master plumber. In a local historic district, exterior changes such as a new window or roof vent may also need approval from the Historic District Landmarks Commission, or the Vieux Carré Commission in the French Quarter. We handle the permits and inspections, and you can look up the permits for any address on the city's One Stop App.

Yes, we excel at making small spaces functional and beautiful with smart design solutions.

We recommend materials like porcelain tiles, quartz countertops, and high-quality fixtures for lasting durability and easy maintenance.

Hire a licensed, insured local contractor who pulls the permits, puts the scope, price and schedule in writing, offers a written warranty, and can show you bathrooms they have finished. Since nearly every bathroom remodel costs more than $7,500, Louisiana requires the contractor to be registered or licensed with the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, and you can check any contractor on the board's website. Sweeney Build holds Louisiana Residential Construction license no. 881928, has remodeled New Orleans homes for 19+ years, and covers its work with a 1-year workmanship and material warranty.

Yes. A tub-to-shower conversion replaces an old tub with a walk-in shower, usually in the same space the tub used. We remove the tub, repair any water damage we find underneath, move the drain and shower controls as needed, waterproof the floor and walls, and finish with tile, fixtures and glass. You can add a built-in bench, a storage niche, grab bars, or a low or curbless entry where the floor allows. If it is the only tub in the house, keep resale in mind, since some buyers with young children look for one.

Yes, we provide warranties on our workmanship and can guide you on product warranties for materials and fixtures.
