What We Build

Types of Bathroom Remodeling in New Orleans

Every bathroom starts from a different place. These are the projects we handle, each under one contract.

  • Full Bathroom Remodel

    A complete gut and rebuild: layout, plumbing, wiring, waterproofing, tile, vanity and fixtures. The right call when the room is dated top to bottom or water damage has reached the floor.

  • Primary Bathroom Remodel

    Double vanities, a larger walk-in shower, a soaking tub and better storage for the bathroom you use every day. Where the layout allows, space can be borrowed from an adjoining closet.

  • Small and Guest Bathrooms

    Smart layouts for tight footprints, common in shotgun and cottage homes: wall-hung vanities, recessed niches and glass shower panels that make the room feel bigger.

  • Tub-to-Shower Conversion

    An old tub swapped for a walk-in shower, usually in the same space. Add a built-in bench, a storage niche or a low curb for easier entry.

  • Accessible Bathrooms

    Curbless showers, grab bars, comfort-height toilets, handheld showers and wider doorways that make the room safer now and easier to use as needs change.

  • Historic Home Bathrooms

    Adding a bath where there was none, working around tall ceilings and plaster walls, and keeping period character intact. See our historic home renovations.

Local Conditions

Bathroom Remodeling in New Orleans Has to Handle Humidity

A New Orleans bathroom fights moisture from two sides: the shower inside and the humid air outside. Tile can look perfect on day one and still fail within a few years if the wall behind it was never waterproofed, so moisture control gets planned before finishes are picked.

  • Waterproofing behind the tile

    Shower walls and floors get a waterproof layer under the tile, so water that seeps through grout never reaches the wood framing.

  • A fan that actually vents outside

    The exhaust fan is sized to the room and ducted outdoors, never into the attic, where trapped moisture feeds mold. A timer or humidity sensor keeps it running after the shower is off.

  • Materials that don't soak up water

    Porcelain tile, sealed grout, quartz tops and moisture-resistant vanities outlast unsealed stone and particleboard in this climate.

  • Repairs before finishes

    Older homes often have soft subfloors or rotted framing under the old tub. That gets fixed first, so the new bathroom sits on a sound base.

  • Vents in historic districts

    In a local historic district, a new vent through a street-facing wall or roof may need HDLC review, or Vieux Carré Commission review in the French Quarter, so the vent route is part of the plan from day one.

What a Bathroom Remodel Costs and How Long It Takes

Most of our bathroom remodels in New Orleans cost $15,000 to $50,000 or more and take 4 to 8 weeks.

Cost

Cost depends mostly on the amount of tile work, 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.

Timeline

Timeline runs shorter for a refresh that keeps the layout and longer when plumbing moves or the room is stripped to the studs. Special-order tile, fixtures and shower glass, permit review and hidden repairs are what usually stretch it.

LOOKING FOR ANSWERS?

Frequently Asked Questions: Bathroom Remodeling

Find answers to frequently asked questions that address your concerns, assist with decision-making, and ease any doubts you may have.

  • How long does a bathroom remodel take in New Orleans?

    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.

  • Can I stay in my home during the remodel?

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

  • How much does a bathroom remodel cost in New Orleans?

    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.

  • Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in New Orleans?

    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.

  • Can you help with small bathrooms?

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

  • What materials do you recommend for durability?

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

  • Who should I hire for a bathroom remodel in New Orleans?

    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.

  • Can you turn a tub into a walk-in shower?

    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.

  • Do you offer warranties?

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

  • How do I start the process?

    Simply contact us for a free consultation. We’ll discuss your vision, provide an estimate, and guide you through the next steps.
