THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
A good bathroom is mostly decided before the tile.
Where the shower goes, how two people share the room, whether daylight reaches it and where everything is stored are layout decisions. We settle those first. Then we choose the tile, fixtures and finishes that suit the room and the house.
OUR APPROACH
Three ways we remodel a bath
01
Rework the rooms you have.
In a barn turned home in Ann Arbor we combined two dark rooms into one bright, open bath with a wet room and a separate toilet closet. See Modern Barn Bath.
02
Give the shower the room.
In the Wines neighborhood we removed an unused tub so the shower could grow all the way to the skylight. In Ann Arbor Hills we reworked the layout so the larger bathroom could fit a walk-in, sit-down shower. See Wines Neighborhood Bath & Interior Remodel and Ann Arbor Hills Primary Suite.
03
Build the suite you do not have.
In Ann Arbor Hills we raised a shed dormer across the back of the roof and built a full primary suite into an unfinished attic, with a curbless walk-in shower and a double vanity. See Ann Arbor Hills Dormer Addition & Primary Suite.
ONE TEAM
The people who draw your bathroom work down the hall from the people who build it.
Architectural designers, interior designers and builders all work here, under one contract. Selections are finalized and materials ordered before demolition begins. You get a phase-by-phase schedule before work starts, a weekly note, and one person to call.

QUESTIONS
Questions we hear most
Often, yes. We contain the work area, manage the dust, and keep the spaces you use every day working. For larger projects, Forward clients have access to our furnished rental homes.
Can we live in our home during construction?
How long will our project take?
It depends on scope, and the honest answer is that a finish refresh and a whole-home project are not in the same range. What we can promise is that you will have a phase-by-phase schedule before demolition starts, and you will know where you are in it every week.
How do you keep projects on schedule?
Selections are finalized and materials ordered before demolition begins. Most mid-project stalls are a crew standing around waiting on something nobody ordered, and the way to avoid that is to have decided earlier.
Who will be in our home during construction?
A project manager and our own carpenters lead every job, supported by trade partners we have worked with for years and chosen on standard rather than on price. You will always know who is on site and who to call. Meet the people who will be in your home on our Team page.
