Humphrey — North Clintonville Master Closet Converted into a Second-Floor Master Bath
Humphrey came to us through Facebook, and it was our second job as a company. The house is a single-family home in North Clintonville. On the second floor, a long hall runs off the master bedroom past two closets to a laundry center at its end. The door on the right, just before the laundry, opened into a room of roughly 15 by 15 feet that the owners were using as a master closet. They wanted a master bath there instead. The scope was a conversion rather than a remodel: carpet out, then a shower, a double vanity, a toilet and a linen closet laid out in a room that had never had any of them, with water and drain tied into the laundry plumbing already in the hall and the power already in the space. The owners had done their homework. They picked out every fixture, tile and finish themselves and knew exactly what they wanted, so our job was the layout, the rough-in and a clean install. We also built the barn door that closes the bath off from the hall and the shelving in the new linen closet. The job matters to us beyond the room. We did what we said we would, for the budget we agreed on, and this family hired us for a number of other projects over the years. The lady of the house, an insurance agent, became ours, and she referred us to everyone she knew. A good share of our early network traces back to this bath.
