A bathroom is small, but it's where the details show, and where cheap waterproofing comes back to haunt you. Gray & Sons Contracting builds tile showers, tub-to-shower conversions, and full bathroom remodels for Southern Maryland homeowners as one experienced, family-owned crew. Built to last, finished clean, and priced in writing before we start.
A bathroom packs plumbing, tile, waterproofing, electrical, and finish work into the smallest room in the house, which is why the ones done by a jack-of-all-trades handyman so often leak or look off within a couple of years. We remodel bathrooms across Calvert, St. Mary's, and Charles County as a coordinated project, one crew, sequenced right, with the hidden work done to spec so the pretty part actually lasts. Here's what that covers.
A custom tile shower is the centerpiece of most bathroom remodels we do. We build it on a proper waterproofing system, then tile the walls, floor, niche, and bench in your choice of stone, porcelain, or ceramic. Prefer a lower-maintenance option or a tighter budget? We also install quality prefab surrounds that go in faster and still look sharp.
Loads of Southern Maryland homes have a builder-grade tub nobody's soaked in for years. We pull it out and rebuild the space as a walk-in shower, low-threshold or fully curbless, with the tile, glass door, and shower niche you want. It's one of the highest-impact changes you can make to a dated bathroom, and it opens the whole room up.
New vanities, tops, mirrors, lighting, faucets, and toilets pull the whole room together. We size the vanity to the space, run the plumbing cleanly, and set fixtures that match how the bathroom actually gets used, a double vanity for a busy primary suite, a compact one that buys back floor space in a tight hall bath.
This is the part you never see and the part that matters most. Behind every shower we build is a bonded waterproofing membrane with sealed seams at every corner, curb, and penetration, so water stays in the shower instead of rotting the framing behind it. Then we tile with dead-level layout and clean grout lines. Do this right and the shower lasts decades; skip it and the wall fails from the inside.
We build bathrooms that let people stay in their homes longer, curbless walk-in showers, wall blocking for grab bars, comfort-height toilets, slip-resistant tile, and turning room where it's needed. Done thoughtfully, an accessible bath looks like a normal, good-looking bathroom, not a clinical retrofit.
Most bathroom remodels in our area run between roughly $10,000 and $35,000, a guest or hall bath on the lower end, a primary suite with a full custom tile shower on the higher end. Four factors move that "bathroom renovation cost in Calvert County" number the most: the size of the room, whether you go with a custom tile shower or a prefab surround, whether any plumbing has to move (relocating a toilet or shower drain adds labor fast), and the grade of the fixtures and tile you select. Rather than quote a phone guess, we walk the space, price your actual selections, and hand you an itemized written estimate you can trust.
A leaking shower or failing grout only gets more expensive the longer it sits, because the damage moves into the framing and subfloor you can't see. A free look now tells you whether it's a repair or a remodel.
We waterproof showers with the Schluter system, the bonded membranes and drains that professional tile setters trust, because it's the difference between a shower that lasts and one that fails behind the wall. For fixtures we install Delta and Moen faucets and shower valves, Kohler toilets and sinks, and quality tile from porcelain to natural stone. You're welcome to bring a specific vanity, faucet finish, or tile you've fallen for; we'll build the plan around it and install everything to manufacturer spec so the warranties hold.
We remodel bathrooms throughout Calvert, St. Mary's, and Charles County, including Prince Frederick, Solomons, Lusby, Huntingtown, Dunkirk, Owings, St. Leonard, Leonardtown, California, Lexington Park, Hollywood, Waldorf, and La Plata. See our full service area.
Because one company handles the whole bathroom, you're never stuck coordinating a tile setter, a plumber, and a painter who each blame the other. The same crew waterproofs the shower, ties in the flooring, and handles the finish carpentry and trim so everything lines up. Many clients who love their new bathroom have us tackle their kitchen remodel next, the relationship and the standard of work carry straight over. One contractor, every project.
Tell us what's not working, a leaking shower, a tub you never use, a layout that's too tight, and we'll come take a look. You'll get a straight answer and a free written estimate.
