Bathroom Remodeling in Alexandria, VA
A bathroom is small, but it's one of the hardest rooms to get right — tight spaces, old plumbing and tile that has to be waterproof and square when it's done. At Vale Construction, we handle bathroom remodeling in Alexandria, VA from demo through the final fixture install, so one team owns the plumbing, the layout and the finish work. The goal is simple: a bathroom that works the way you use it and holds up long after the last tile goes in.
Much of what we do is in older Alexandria homes, where what's behind the walls isn't always what you'd expect. We plan for that before we start swinging hammers, not after.
What goes into a bathroom remodel
Most of what makes a bathroom last is work you never see. We take the room down to the studs and subfloor so we know exactly what we're working with. Hidden rot, old galvanized pipe and questionable framing get dealt with while the walls are open, not covered over.
Relocating a toilet, moving the shower or opening up a cramped corner are layout decisions we settle before anything is ordered, along with fixtures, tile, vanity, lighting and ventilation. Plumbing, electrical and ventilation updates are run and inspected next. Shower pans, backer board and waterproofing go in before a single tile is set, because that is where a bathroom either lasts or leaks. Vanity, toilet, shower fixtures, trim, paint and lighting finish the room.
A bathroom remodel isn't the place for small handyman patch-ups. This is renovation work, planned and built as a full project.
Every project follows the same six steps, from the first consultation to the final walkthrough — see our process. For what sets us apart, read why homeowners choose Vale Construction.
Serving Alexandria, VA and nearby
We're based in Alexandria and do much of our work right here in town and across Northern Virginia. If you're in Old Town, Del Ray, Rosemont, Seminary Hill, North Ridge or Potomac Yard, there's a good chance we've been inside a house like yours — a 1960s split, an 1980s colonial, or an older home that's been modified a few times over the years. Those houses each have their own quirks behind the tile, and knowing that going in is part of why we plan the way we do.
If you're thinking about a bathroom remodel and want someone who'll give you a clear plan and a straight answer, we'd like to hear what you have in mind. Call Vale Construction at (571) 474-1920 to set up a first walkthrough. We'll talk through the space, what's possible and what it takes to get it built right.
