Bathroom Remodeling In Rothschild, WI

A tiled shower with a bench, a niche at the right height, and water that stays hot for the length of an actual shower.

Bathroom Remodeling in Rothschild, WI, Built Waterproof From the Studs Out

Start with the finished room. Heated tile underfoot on a January morning, a double vanity so nobody is waiting their turn, a linen closet with room for a full set of towels. The glass is clear because the ventilation is sized correctly. The grout lines are straight because someone laid out the field before the first tile went down.

Bathrooms in Rothschild carry the same range as the rest of the village’s housing. Mill-era homes with a single upstairs bath, mid-century ranches with a tub squeezed between two doorways, newer builds where the primary bath is generous but dated in a way that bothers you every morning. All three are common on our schedule.

Remodeling Journey is a design-build remodeler working out of Weston, a few minutes from Grand Avenue. Justin Pagel holds Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor Qualifier License #DCQ072000769, and the company carries the dwelling contractor license alongside it.

What matters most in a bathroom happens behind the tile. We build tiled showers on Wedi board, a bonded waterproofing system, because a beautiful shower that leaks into the joists below is a demolition project waiting three years to happen.

Remodeling Journey completed our remodeled bathroom timely. They took time to work closely with us with attention to every detail.

Provided many options of fixtures including faucets, tub and colors. We found they worked with us and were right there to ensure the timeline was being met and allowed us make changes as needed.

I would highly recommend Remodeling Journey to all.
Thank you Justin, Adria and Brian for creating a beautiful and calming environment for our home. The photos below show the past and present.

We had a wonderful experience working with Justin and Adria remodeling our bathroom.

From the design to the finished product the process was professional and seamless. We couldn’t be happier with our bathroom- it is absolutely beautiful.

A big shout out to Brian for all of his attention to detail and oversight of the project. We can hardly wait for our next project updating our fireplace. We highly recommend Remodeling Journey and give them 5 stars +

So, What Does This Actually Run?

Bathrooms are small rooms with a lot of trades in them, which is why the price spread is wider than people expect. Here is where our projects land.

Three real bathrooms we finished, so you can see how square footage and scope interact:

Cost here follows the number of fixtures, the tile detail, and whether the plumbing moves. Floor area matters far less than most people expect.

How Long Your Bathroom Will Be Out of Service

We publish these because guessing at a schedule is how a family ends up sharing one bathroom in March.

Project	Time on Site
Powder room	About 2 weeks
Hallway bath, or a bath with a tiled tub surround	3 to 4 weeks
Full bath with a tiled shower	4 to 5 weeks
High-end bathroom	5 to 6 weeks
Custom glass enclosure, ordered after tile	Adds 4 to 8 weeks

Glass is the one that surprises people. A custom enclosure cannot be measured until the tile is set and cured, so the fabrication window starts late by design.

The Way We Run a Bathroom Project

Design the Wet Wall First

Where the drain, the valve, and the vent land determines what the room can become. We settle that before anyone picks a vanity color.

Waterproof, Then Tile

Wedi board, bonded seams, and a flood test before the first tile. This is the step nobody sees and everybody depends on.

Set the Glass Last

Templated off the finished tile, ordered, and installed clean.

Come Back and Check

Annual visits during the five-year warranty, because a bathroom either holds up or it does not, and we want to be the ones who find out.

Frequently Asked Questions

We only have one full bathroom. Can you still do this?

Yes, and we plan around it. Single-bath houses get a compressed schedule, a temporary shower arrangement where possible, and a start date chosen so the disruption falls when it hurts least.

Can you build a curbless shower for aging in place?

We can, though it depends on the joist direction and how much depth we have below the floor. It is the first thing we check on a walk-through when accessibility is the goal.

Do you need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Rothschild?

Yes. The village requires a permit before any structure is altered, and the plumbing and electrical work carry their own trade permits. We file all of it.

What is Wedi and why does it matter?

It is a bonded waterproofing board that sits between your framing and your tile. Traditional mortar beds and plastic liners can fail at the seams. A bonded system does not give water a path in the first place.

Will you fix the ventilation while you are in there?

Almost always. Undersized or unducted fans are the most common cause of mold and peeling paint in older Rothschild bathrooms, and correcting it costs very little during a remodel.

Can I supply my own fixtures?

You can, with one caveat. We warranty what we install, and we can only stand behind material defects on products we sourced. We will tell you plainly where that line falls.

This village of about 5,600 grew up around a paper mill on the Wisconsin River and never lost that steady, working character. Cedar Creek runs through it, the Mountain-Bay State Trail passes near the neighborhoods, and Gaska Park keeps a stretch of woods and walking paths inside village limits. Households here post a median income well above the state figure and tend to stay in their homes a long time, which is a large part of why bathrooms in Rothschild get remodeled properly. If you are getting to know the area, the regional visitor guide covers the parks, the pavilion, and the trail access; if you are planning work, the Village of Rothschild posts building permit applications, the adopted zoning map, and the current fee schedule.
