Bathroom Renovation

Bathroom renovation is one of the most technically demanding home improvement projects in New Brunswick, requiring the coordination of plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, and ventilation trades working in a confined space where moisture management is the single most critical success factor. NB's Maritime climate produces seasonal indoor humidity swings from 25% in winter to 75% in summer, and bathrooms are the epicentre of daily moisture generation — a single hot shower produces 0.

5 to 1 litre of water vapour that must be managed through proper ventilation, waterproofing, and material selection. Many NB homes built before 1990 have bathrooms with inadequate exhaust fans, missing vapour barriers, and tile installed directly on drywall rather than cement board, resulting in hidden mould growth, rotted subfloors, and structural damage that is only discovered when the renovation begins.
