01Bathrooms
One bathroom is a small job for a builder, but they treated it like the whole house. The tile lines up, the door finally closes properly, and they finished the week they said they would.

What’s included
What a bathroom
renovation includes.
Besides the surfaces you see, a bathroom renovation takes in waterproofing, ventilation and plumbing hidden behind them.
Showers, tubs and tile
Showers and tubs for ensuites and main baths, with tile laid to the fixtures. A tub can be replaced with a walk-in shower.
Waterproofing and ventilation
The room gets a ventilation fan, and its place is planned in before tile. The surround of the tub or shower is waterproofed ahead of tiling.
Vanities and fixtures
Fixtures and the vanity are fitted once the tile is up. Each drain and valve is already in place by then, as the plumbing plan has it.
Plumbing and electrical, coordinated
Plumbing and electrical are on the builder’s schedule, and the walls are left open until the drain test is done.
How it runs
One bay of it,
stage by stage.
Five stages in the same order for a room and a whole house, with one builder answering for each.
- 01
Permits
Drawings fix the drain, valve and tub or shower positions. Any permit application is made from them.
- 02
Structure
With old fixtures and finishes removed, the new layout is settled, ceiling height too.
- 03
Trades
The shower floor is graded toward the drain, and vent and drain pipes get roughed in and leak tested.
- 04
Finishes
Waterproofing and the fan first, then tile, vanity and fixtures.
- 05
Handover
The fixtures, drains and fan are run before the bathroom is handed back for use.
Why Hanna Homes
Why one builder
for all of it.
The room is small and wet. That makes how the hidden work is ordered count for more than the room’s size.
Fixtures wait and pipes stay uncovered until the drains and vents have been tested, so any leak turns up within easy reach.
Waterproofing is done in the areas of the shower and tub before tiling starts, because tile will cover them afterwards.
Bulkheads are checked against the ceiling height before any is drawn, as it must hold wherever someone stands, shower and tub too.
The shower valve and drain are placed while the wall is open, and the tile layout is drawn to them, not cut around them later.

Client reviews
Their house,
their words.
Whole homes and single rooms, in the words of the people who live in them.
02Whole home
We put off the whole house for years because we couldn’t picture living through it. Akram walked us through every stage before it started, and each week went the way he said it would.
03Kitchens
The crew covered the floors and cleaned up at the end of every day, which mattered with two kids at home. The new kitchen is the room everyone ends up in now. Worth every week of takeout.
04Custom homes
Building a new house was the biggest decision we’ve ever made, and it never felt rushed. We walked the site most Saturdays and always knew exactly where things stood.
05Basement apartments
We turned the basement into a unit for my mother-in-law. She has her own entrance and her own kitchen, and we still get Sunday dinners. The paperwork I was dreading turned out to be the part I thought about least.
06Additions
We needed more room but didn’t want to leave the street. The second storey went on over the summer, and from the sidewalk you’d think the house was always built that way.
07Knockdown & rebuild
Our old bungalow wasn’t worth saving, so we took it down and built new on the same lot. They kept the neighbours in the loop from demolition to the final walk-through. We love coming home to it.
08Basements
The basement used to be storage and a furnace. Now it’s a family room the kids actually want to be in. A clear quote, no surprises, and the site was swept every night.
09Whole home
We bought an older house knowing it needed everything. Akram was straight with us from the first visit about what was worth keeping. Every room is new to us now, and it still feels like the house we fell for.
10Kitchens
Third builder we spoke to, and the only one who returned every call. When we changed our minds about the island halfway through, they made it work without any drama.

The two whole homes are a bungalow and a new house, the three rooms a basement, a kitchen and a bath, each one complete.
01Bathroom Renovations
A primary bath in honed limestone.
Walls are lime plaster. A trough vanity is cut from one block, a stone tub sits under the window and one pane of glass closes the shower.

Common questions
Common questions
in Milton.
What Milton homeowners ask about bathroom renovations: what it costs, how long it takes and what the city asks for.
What moves the price is what moves in the room. A toilet, shower or vanity that stays where its drain is costs less than one that shifts, since a moved drain brings plumbing work and may bring a permit. Shower or tub work and the tile come next. A figure follows the plan, so none is given here.
In Milton the first question for the schedule is whether the Town's building department asks for a permit, which it can when a drain, toilet or shower moves. If it does, the permit date comes before demolition and an inspection before the walls close. If nothing moves, the job starts when the crew arrives from Burlington, 30 minutes away. Either way, tile waits on the waterproofing.
Usually not for tile, a vanity or fixtures that go back where the old ones were. Moving a drain, a toilet or a shower, or changing structure, can need one, and the Town of Milton's building department decides. Hanna Homes carries the application and the inspection, so the room is not closed up before it has been seen.
The builder coordinates both. A moved toilet, shower drain or vanity is plumbing work, and a new fan or new lighting is electrical work. Hanna Homes schedules each before the walls close and before the waterproofing and tile, so they are done once and in the right order.
The old fixtures and finishes come out and the new plan is set out. Plumbing and electrical go in next, then the waterproofing behind the shower or tub surround, then tile, vanity and fixtures. Where a permit applies, the room is inspected before it is handed back. Hanna Homes is based in Burlington, 30 minutes away.

What people in Milton search before bathroom renovations, answered for the town.
Yes. Hanna Homes is based in Burlington, 30 minutes from Milton, and takes one ensuite, main bath or powder room as a job of its own. The plan, the permit question and the trades are settled before the crew arrives.
Which fixtures stay and which move. A drain, toilet or shower that goes back where it was is usually not permit work, while one that moves can be, and the Town decides. The plan marks each fixture so the answer is known before demolition.
Yes, when the main bath and the ensuite are done one after the other. The plan sets the order, so the water shutoffs, the waterproofing and any inspection fall in one room at a time and the other bathroom keeps working.
Good to know
Good to know
about bathroom renovations in Milton.
What changes the work in Milton: the rules, the houses and the ground.
Bathroom renovation permits in Milton
Putting tile, a vanity and fixtures back where the old ones stood is not usually permit work. Relocating a drain, a toilet or a shower is different, and so is any change to structure. In Milton those applications go to the Town's building department, which decides what a given bathroom needs, and Hanna Homes sees both through. Raise any fixture you want moved at the start, since it changes both the permit question and the plumbing.
Bathroom remodeling in Milton, fixture by fixture
A remodel covers the shower or tub and the tile laid to it, the waterproofing and ventilation behind the finish, the vanity and the fixtures, with the lighting wired in the same pass. The builder coordinates the plumber and electrician, so the drains, valves and lights land where the finished room needs them.
The plan names every fixture that stays and every one that moves. Moves are what the Town of Milton's building department reviews, so the list is drawn before anything is ordered. Hanna Homes works from Burlington, 30 minutes away.
What a Milton bathroom remodel costs and what it waits on
Fixtures and drains that move, the shower or tub work, and the tile are what set the cost. Pricing starts from a plan that says which fixtures stay and which go.
Timing follows the build order. The waterproofing is finished before tile can start, and the vanity and fixtures are the last to go in. A moved drain and any permit sit ahead of the rest.
Bathroom lighting and ventilation in Milton
Behind the tile, the shower or tub surround is sealed as one waterproof assembly, so any water that passes the grout is carried to the drain. The fan carries steam out of the room, which is what protects the drywall, paint and framing over the years. Lighting is wired with the rest of the electrical, and all of it is in before the walls close.
