Is Your Bathroom Driving You Nuts?
You don’t have to explain it—we’ve seen it all:
- The fiberglass tub/shower combo that never really looks clean
- A vanity with no drawers and zero counter space
- Dim, yellow lighting and a builder-basic mirror
- Cracked tile, tired grout, and caulk you don’t want to think too hard about
- Slippery floors and a tub wall that feels higher every year
You’re not being picky. A bad bathroom wastes time, energy, and peace of mind every single day. You deserve better than that.

Our Process
A Bathroom Remodel Process That Respects Your Time and Your Home
01
Discovery Call & Showroom Visit
We start with a quick call to learn about your current bathroom, what’s not working, and your budget range. If we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule a time for you to visit our Kettering showroom to look at tile, vanities, countertops, and fixtures.
02
Design, Layout & Selections
We measure your bathroom, check structural realities, and create layout options. You’ll work with our team to choose tile, vanity cabinets, countertops, plumbing fixtures, lighting, flooring, and accessories that fit your style and routine.
03
Detailed Proposal & Timeline
We put together a clear proposal that outlines:
- Scope of work
- Materials and finishes
- Investment range
- Approximate schedule and duration
You’ll know how long your bathroom will be out of commission before we start.
04
Build & Installation
We handle demo, plumbing and electrical updates, waterproofing, tile work, vanity installation, and finishing details. We protect adjacent areas and clean up as we go, keeping you updated at each stage.
05
Final Walkthrough & Enjoy
We walk the new bathroom with you, check function (drains, valves, lights, fans), and make sure the details are right—grout lines, caulk joints, doors and drawers, and all the little things you’ll notice later if they’re wrong.

Why Trust RA Cooks With Your Bathroom Remodel?
Pretty tile on top of bad waterproofing is a time bomb. We use proper pans and waterproofing systems behind the walls so your shower is built to last, not just to look good for listing photos.
Choosing tile, vanities, tops, and flooring from random racks is overwhelming. In our showroom you can:
- See tile next to real vanities and quartz samples
- Compare grout colors, trim details, and niches
- Get help making sure everything actually works together
We think about where towels go, how tall you are, what you actually use daily, and how the room will feel at 6:30 AM—not just how it will look on Instagram.
If you’re planning to sell in a few years, we’ll steer you toward choices that feel elevated now and still make sense for future buyers in Kettering, Dayton, Oakwood, Centerville, or Beavercreek.

The Bathroom Projects We’re Built For
Primary / Master Bathroom Transformations
Turn your primary bath into a real retreat with a custom tile shower, improved lighting, double vanity, and finishes that actually feel like your personality—not a builder catalog.
Hall & Guest Bathroom Upgrades
Update the bathrooms your family and guests use every day with new tubs or showers, tile, vanities, and fixtures that are easy to clean and hold up over time.
Custom Tile Showers & Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Rip out old fiberglass inserts or dated alcove tubs and replace them with walk-in tile showers, niches, benches, and glass that fits the space and your mobility needs.
Aging-in-Place & Accessibility Updates
Curbless showers, grab bars, wider entries, better lighting, and slip-resistant surfaces—so you can safely use your bathroom now and as you age, without it feeling like a hospital.
Not Sure If You Should Remodel This Bathroom or Move?
It’s normal to ask, “Should we really sink this much into a bathroom, or should we just move?”
That’s exactly why we offer our “Stay, Sell, or Switch” Strategy Session.
We’ll help you figure out:
- What it would realistically cost to remodel your bathroom (and any other key spaces)
- How those upgrades affect your home’s value and appeal
Whether it makes more sense to:
- Stay & Remodel,
- Do Targeted Updates & Sell, or
- Sell & Switch into a home that already has what you want
You don’t need more guessing. You need a clear recommendation backed by design, construction, and real numbers.
