When you collaborate with Arciform as your bathroom remodeling contractor, you partner with artisans who respect both your home's character and your personal dream for the perfect bathroom renovation.

The baseline cost of a bathroom remodel is affected by the existing conditions of the space. Does plumbing need to be rerouted? Is access and configuration working for you, or does it need to be changed?  Here we will be discussing what you must have versus what you want to have, and balancing those elements against your budget parameters. Moving and adding plumbing fixtures add significantly to the budget, for example. Your finish and fixture choices will also play a big role. For planning purposes, our bathroom remodel costs start around 70k , and the sky is the limit after that.

Depending on the size and scope of the project, a bathroom remodel typically takes 3-6 months to complete. In a bathroom there are often space limitations that prohibit multiple trades from working at the same time (the plumber and tile setter may not be able to share the space and do their work, for example). Arciform encourages the selection of finishes and fixtures to be made prior to the bathroom demo, as we stock the supplies for a smooth construction phase. We may also be able to prioritize work that will allow you to use the space before the remodel is completed entirely.

We supply a port-a-potty on your property in place of your toilet. For showering, we suggest working with friends or neighbors, or using a gym membership for the duration of the remodel and showering there.  

Yes, we do! Keeping the existing layout and existing plumbing locations saves A LOT of money in a bathroom remodel. If the space itself works you, swapping out fixtures and finishes can go a long way in updating a bathroom.  Arciform will assess the condition of existing  plumbing and electrical to make certain it is in good condition and can be used and covered with the new materials. This is necessary to prevent future problems as new fixtures can mean a change in power or water flow.  

The first step is finding a route for drainage, venting, and supply lines. Beyond that there are a plethora of questions depending on the location of the new bathroom. When adding a bathroom in an attic, for example, you need to check ceiling heights, determine how to duct the vent fan, establish minimum distances between plumbing fixtures, and consider if your existing water heater can support additional plumbing fixtures.  In Portland, bathroom additions require permits from the Bureau of Development Services. Historic homes may need additional review if we alter the exterior. We help navigate these requirements and can research your property's zoning using Portland Maps.
