DAO Construction Inc. — Boston, Massachusetts

Bathroom Remodeling Built to Last

From compact city baths to full primary suites, our team plans, manages, and builds with a focus on code compliance, durability, and a clean, finished look. We keep schedules and costs transparent so you always know the next step.

What You Can Expect

Clear Scope & Pricing

We start with a site visit, measurements, and a written scope. The proposal shows labor, materials, allowances, and any optional upgrades. You’ll see what is included before work begins.

Permits & Inspections

Our project lead coordinates building permits, electrical and plumbing rough inspections, and final sign‑off. Work is scheduled to keep the project moving while meeting Boston code requirements.

Respect for Your Home

We protect floors, isolate dust, and tidy up daily. Crews arrive on time, communicate progress, and handle surprises with practical solutions.

Design & Planning

Good planning prevents delays and change orders. During preconstruction we confirm layout, fixture selections, tile patterns, grout color, trim details, and ventilation strategy. We also check water pressure, drain slope, and subfloor condition to make sure the plan matches the structure.

Color Scheme: We favor clean neutrals and natural accents for a timeless finish—white or cream walls, matte black or brushed nickel hardware, and warm wood or stone textures. If you want color, consider soft blues or greens for the vanity, and keep tile simple so the room stays calm year after year.

Scope of Work We Handle

Layout Changes

Move a tub, convert to a walk‑in shower, or rework a tight floor plan. We review framing, joists, venting, and drain routes before opening walls so the new layout is practical and safe.

  • Shower conversions with curbless or low‑profile pans
  • Recessed niches, benches, and frameless glass
  • Pocket doors to free up space

Tile & Waterproofing

Showers are built with proven waterproofing systems and flood‑tested where required. We set tile with straight lines, even reveals, and durable grout that resists staining.

  • Porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone
  • Heated floors with programmable thermostats
  • Large‑format panels for fewer grout lines

Plumbing, Electrical & Ventilation

Upgrades may include new shutoffs, pressure balancing valves, GFCI protection, dedicated circuits for lighting and heat, and ducted exhaust to the exterior.

  • Quiet fans sized for the room
  • LED task, ambient, and mirror lighting
  • Water‑saving fixtures and anti‑scald valves

Materials & Fixtures

We install brands and materials that hold up to daily use. You can purchase directly or through our suppliers—either way, your selections will be verified before rough work begins.

Category Good Better Best
Vanities & Tops Solid wood frames, soft‑close drawers Quartz tops with integrated backsplash Custom millwork, inset doors, stone slab
Showers & Tubs Acrylic tub, standard valve Porcelain tile with linear drain Curbless shower, slab walls, steam prep

Lighting Recessed LEDs, dimmers Layered lighting with mirror backlights Custom fixtures with dedicated circuits
Ventilation Standard exhaust fan Quiet fan with timer control EC motor fan, humidity sensor, insulated duct

Process & Timeline

  1. Consult & Measure: We visit, review goals, and take detailed measurements.
  2. Written Proposal: Scope, allowances, and scheduling notes are provided for review.
  3. Preconstruction: Confirm layout, selections, lead times, and permit path.
  4. Construction: Demolition, rough‑ins, inspections, waterproofing, finishes, and punch list.
  5. Closeout: Final clean, walkthrough, and care instructions.

Timelines vary by scope, building rules, and material lead times. A typical hall bath takes 2–4 weeks once work begins; larger primary suites with layout changes may take longer.

Costs & Allowances

We build honest budgets. Your proposal will show allowances for tile, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and accessories so you can choose products without guesswork. If a selection comes in above the allowance, we’ll note the difference in writing before ordering. If it comes in below, the savings are credited.

Budget Ranges

Small updates that keep fixtures in place cost less than full gut projects with layout changes, new wiring, and high‑end finishes. We talk through options that match your priorities.

Change Orders

Unseen conditions can happen in older Boston homes—surprise layers of tile, uneven framing, or outdated wiring. When that occurs, we explain the issue and price the fix before moving forward.

Payment Schedule

Typically a deposit at contract, progress payments tied to milestones, and a final balance at completion. Terms are stated clearly in the agreement.

Local Requirements

Working in Boston means careful coordination with building officials and, in many neighborhoods, condo associations. Our team submits permit applications, schedules inspections, and follows building rules for work hours, elevator protection, and debris removal. We also handle exterior venting and roof penetrations where required.

Historic homes may need special attention for framing, plaster repair, and level transitions. We aim for flat tile planes, solid backing, and proper movement joints so the room feels solid and quiet underfoot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remodel a bathroom in a condo?

Yes. We coordinate with the condo board, follow building rules, and protect common areas. Expect added logistics for elevator schedules and material delivery.

Do you work with designers?

We can build from your designer’s plans or provide practical layout guidance during preconstruction. Either way, selections are confirmed before work starts.

What about warranties?

Manufacturer warranties apply to fixtures and materials. Our workmanship is backed by a written warranty provided at closeout.
