Bathroom remodeling, flooring installation, tile work, trim, repairs, and residential improvements throughout Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads.

Hardwood, engineered wood, LVP, laminate, vinyl, tile, transitions, finish details, and repairs.
Material guidance, scheduling, trade coordination, clear communication, and hands-on problem solving from the first walkthrough to final handoff.
This project went well beyond a surface update. The room was stripped back, rebuilt, waterproofed, tiled, finished, and coordinated from the rough work through the final fixtures.
Start
Still workingProgress photos matter because they show what is behind the finished room. This project required demolition, framing and repair work, cement board, waterproofing, tile layout, flooring, trim, fixture coordination, and final cleanup.
The finished result is important. The steps underneath it are what make the result last.

Removed the old finishes and exposed the structure so the rebuild could start from a known condition.

Corrected and prepared the room for new wall systems, shower details, and finish surfaces.

Installed the proper tile substrate and built the surfaces needed for a clean, durable installation.

Waterproofed the shower and critical transitions before the tile installation began.

Managed tile layout, edges, trim, spacing, grout, and the details that make the room read cleanly.

Installed and finished the floor, transitions, and final surfaces to bring the full remodel together.

Richard Fortin brings extensive flooring experience and a hands-on approach to remodeling. He believes clients should understand what is being done, why it is being done, and what decisions matter before the work gets covered up.
That means direct communication, thoughtful planning, honest guidance, and careful coordination with the other trades involved in the project.
Send the project type, location, a few photos, and your preferred timeline. The first step is understanding the scope and helping you make a sensible plan.
