Hearing Liam narrate the project with knowledge and wisdom makes me want a youtuber every time I hire a contractor. Having been ripped off in the past from an incompetent contractor, I have much respect for this level of competence and pride in your work. Great job Liam!
Thank you and I’m sorry to hear about that. I do think there’s a lot of value to having a contractor in social media as it reduces the likelihood of corners being cut. Of course good and bad contractors exist in all spaces
@@plasmac9 Which is wild because even without social media it won't even take you a year to get tons of referrals from the type of quality Liam pursues. You charge extra above market rate equivalent to what you would have pocketed by skimping on materials or cutting corners. And people will be happy to pay because it's a *guarantee* in quality. There's basically zero need to screw with the build itself. If established contractors are struggling to pay their bills with what they charge it's the fault of the business model.
I love the way you explain things in your videos. I can't find ANYONE else who is this straight-to-the-point on UA-cam, and I mean that VERY sincerely. Other videos are either vlog-style, which interrupts the flow, or too much nonsense while explaining things. Your videos, on the other hand, are straightforward yet lively. I hope you keep em' coming!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ The bathroom exudes an elegance and sophistication, without sacrificing comfort or function. Magnificent remodel from the chosen materials to the placement of the tub.
Epoxy grout was such a great idea, I wish I did that for my house. I didn't know there was a stronger bonding thinset for places like ceilings, thanx for the tip Liam! Another job done to perfection as usual. 👍
Work 10/10. Really great craftsmanship. Excellent work! As a fellow contractor though, price is 6/10. You can and should be getting about 30% more labor cost at least. 5 thousand a week for two guys sounds like a lot but most contracting kitchen and bath operations are dead in the water for anything less than 20k a month average. No one works all year round so if you do about 20% down time, thats your 25k goal per month. Considering what any self-employed gives up and the risk of injury and other hazards not to mention no guarantee of new work you are definitely not planning for the future. Do not undersell yourself. Bump those prices up, you are absolutely worth it. The work is fast, clean and most importantly done well. Best of luck!
Being in the trade 25 years, i appreciate the attention to detail👌since you like schluter maybe consider the foam corner seat to cut down on time with framing and less waterproofing during installation🤷♂️🤟..Tho the money i feel is good in tile, i honestly love what i do. The expression on homeowners' faces is worth so much more to me🙌.. Tennessee 🤝
I just know your arms and shoulders were sore after doing a tile ceiling. Looks like they adhered pretty well but I'd still be paranoid about one falling on my head and knocking me out. 😂 I love the grey border tiles. Wonderful job as always.🎉 Also, I recently experienced a rainfall shower head for the first time on vacation and didn't like it at all. I wonder if others have found out the hard way after going through the trouble of already having it installed that it kinda sucks.
Nice work. May I ask about removing the ceiling drywall and installing 1x6 strapping + Wedi board? Would it not be thicker than original drywall? How did it end up being flush with rest of the ceiling?
I like that the homeowners opted not to have the led strip light in the shampoo niche. That has to be one of the biggest points of failure on your remodels. My experience with those led strip lights is they just don't last. We installed them under our kitchen cabinets and in 4 years of living here I've replaced them already once and they replacements are already starting to fail. The first time when i installed them I just used strip lights I bought at Home Depot. I figured the lights they sell there aren't great so for the replacement I spent a pretty penny on "premium" led strip lights hoping they would last longer. They lasted about the same as the Home Depot lights. Its hard enough to replace them under the cabinets in an open kitchen. I can't imagine how much of a pain in the ass it is to replace the led lights in the shampoo niche.
Hi there, i've been watching your videos for a while now. Love all your work! Just a quick question on the curbless shower, can you do curbless shower with a concrete slab foundation?
5:00 although it looks awesome, won't the water cool significantly as it passes through the air between the ceiling and the tub? between this and waiting for the tub to fill up (several minutes) the water will have already lost a significant amount of heat by the time the bath is ready (also lots of splashing when the water is hitting the tub from that height)
Liam can you pls start making some if not all part of the renovation videos in actual speed pls. Always in 2x or 3x leaves a lot to be desired from the experience. And lastly Pls use the shower once done run some water and show us the water flow etc. Thank You ! Great work as always
I’ve seen people comment this before and if it weren’t for the fact that Sebastian also gets the itch from it I’d think I was crazy lol Could just be another example of getting shafted for being Canadian but it definitely irritates my skin
All the times I've handled rockwool it never made me itchy. Fiberglass on the other hand makes me itch for days even if I'm completely covered. Somehow it finds a way in.
Honestly I think it kinda depends on the person and the amount installed. I know I've been driven mad by fiberglass, but absolutely fine with rockwool (also why I prefer it, along with its other benefits) but I've also known people that install it professionally that take the same precautions against itching as they do with fiberglass. I imagine if you work with it a lot, or are doing an entire house there's a lot more potential for the fragments to mix with sweat and itch.
Have you looked into Wedi Bases and sealant? I’ve done the Wedi courses and like there product. There shower bases are way better then Schluter. Plus you don’t have to deal with kerdi.
This is a really good question and one I asked myself during the renovation. Unfortunately I can’t provide a precise answer as to the most efficient placement. I would think the fan would function quite well from within the space as theoretically steam would be pumped outside while replacement air could come through the gap above the shower door. We however opted for just outside the shower door as it’s our standard placement and one that’s tested and works. I could even see a case being made for two exhaust fans with one inside the wetroom and one outside
@@WorkinwithWolkon I'm from Windsor just down the 401 from you. I have designed a few of these wet rooms for high end homes after I finished architecture back in 2012. We would always leave gaps on the glass to allow for air circulation. But on a fully closed space like this we would add a vent opposite end of the shower. But believe it or not, an exhaust vent at the time when I was working wasn't even required in a bathroom given that an operable window was present.
Does a wet room need ventilation? I noticed the glass goes all the way to the ceiling so maybe not. Or maybe the ventilation is from the window only or the door needs to stay open when the tub/shower is not in use?
Hypothetically, can I overflow the bath tub and it will go down the shower drain? Is there enough grout by the glass to avoid it running into the main area?
Really great work (as always). But I don't get the idea behind a wetroom. Looks like expanding unused area, nooks, crannies, etc. that get wet almost every day, certainly more frequently than the space actually gets used. Having the tub outside of the shower/wetroom means the tub doesn't get wet, have water spots, etc. that has to be cleaned due to daily showers when the tub may hardly get used. Maybe my blindspot is because my wife and I haven't used the tubs in our master baths in 3 homes more than 5 times over literally decades, so remodeling a master bath and installing a new tub makes no sense. Give us a bigger shower and more counters and storage. But to each there own.
It absolutely is. A lot of the time we have to work in weird ways to try and not obstruct the camera. Or just being extremely careful to not knock it over and break the expensive lens. Managing batteries and constantly having to move it. It’s even worse in smaller bathrooms
Amazing work as always. That corner bench looks so out of place though, cant see how someone would want that small random placement in a high end design...
WOW that is beautiful! I'm not a fan of wet rooms from a functional standpoint, but conceptually they're gorgeous! Having somewhat limited mobility, I dread having to clean the area behind the tub, so just not the right fit for me. :) I also love curbless showers, and definitely want to incorporate one, but trying to do that with the linear drain I also want is making my head hurt. Either I slope the entire bathroom, or there's a lip. LOL
Wow, animal using a pry demolition bar to rip up tiles. Get a power demolition hammer. You will last longer and save your energy. Steady gets the job done. Not tiring yourself out and trying to bull through everything. Smarter not harder. Otherwise great work.

That's cause every contractor is always looking to rip you off as much as they can to pocket the extra savings.

I love how you are able to make every space look so much bigger than it actually is. Amazing work as always!

Thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment!
That corner of the tile that perfectly touches the corner bench is spot on.
Laticrete Spectralock pro for the win 🥇 Nice work 😊 well done 👍
Thanks Steve! I don’t think I can ever go back to cement grouts
Fantastic job as always Liam!! All I'm gonna say is at 04:57 mark I've never felt so honored LOL!! Blessings Guys, Dirty Jersey out!!
I hoped you’d catch that part! I was thinking of you while recording it LOL
Thanks as always
Epoxy grout was such a great idea, I wish I did that for my house. I didn't know there was a stronger bonding thinset for places like ceilings, thanx for the tip Liam! Another job done to perfection as usual. 👍
Thank you as always! Epoxy grout has been a huge upgrade
Another awesome project done! Great to see your thinset choice for the ceiling being Pro-lite. Great stuff especially for the ceilings.
Wow 15,000 labour is just insane cheap for that. I would be 24k all day long in Manitoba Canada. Good work.
Man, I wish I contacted you 4 years ago when I did my washroom. You are doing such an amazing job
Once again, another beautiful transformation! You just keep getting better and better.

Very nice QUALITY workmanship. It's very beautiful.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the compliment!
Beautiful bathroom and professionally done!
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Great video, as always. Your stuff has taught me so much about carpentry.
I appreciate that, I’m glad you’re able to come away with something useful from these

Thanks so much! You’re absolutely right on that, delivering a quality product is a great feeling
The original shower looked like a pod ready to launch into space. Looks way better now!🙌
What a beautiful bathroom! Great job!

This turned out perfect, really 10 out of 10 job. Thats a dream bathroom
Thank you!
You have done it again that is absolutely gorgeous I love it ❤❤😃
This is exactly how I do demo, especially with the lath underlay. Just a ply by and pop pop pop
What a transformation! Great work
this is exactly how my current bathroom layout is and exactly how i want to remodel it to look
Great video! Good job, Liam. Like button earned. 😊
Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate the support 😊
Love your videos! You inspire me, please keep up the great content 👍👍
Thank you so much, it’s comments like these that motivate us 😊
Absolutely lovely job there mate ❤ from the UK
Love the tub in the shower
You guys are awesome ! I love your videos 🎉
Nice work. May I ask about removing the ceiling drywall and installing 1x6 strapping + Wedi board? Would it not be thicker than original drywall? How did it end up being flush with rest of the ceiling?
Thanks! Existing ceiling had resilient channel which was the same thickness as our strapping
I like the idea of a wet room. One part of the bathroom having the moisture
Love your work! I’m in the process of demo my entire walk in basement including a bathroom, any chance you’re in Vancouver to take on my job??

LED lights are just terrible. They never last outside and the ones they install in swimming pools cost twice as much and last half as long.

Pls use the shower once done run some water and show us the water flow etc. Thank You ! Great work as always
since when is rockwool itchy? That yellow fibreglass you touched without any protection was an itch monster
Rockwool is not itchy... at least in the states idk about Canada. I can't imagine it would be different though I've been wrong before.
It is very itchy.
I’ve seen people comment this before and if it weren’t for the fact that Sebastian also gets the itch from it I’d think I was crazy lol
Could just be another example of getting shafted for being Canadian but it definitely irritates my skin
All the times I've handled rockwool it never made me itchy. Fiberglass on the other hand makes me itch for days even if I'm completely covered. Somehow it finds a way in.

There he is 😊 money mike 👍
@BathroomRemodelingTeacher One tile goat supporting another tile goat. I LOVE it Steve. Blessings Bud🙏
Brother I think you somehow managed to comment before the video was even finished uploading! 😂 thanks Mike
An absolute legend
Have you looked into Wedi Bases and sealant? I’ve done the Wedi courses and like there product. There shower bases are way better then Schluter. Plus you don’t have to deal with kerdi.
That bathroom is bigger than my bedroom. No cap.
Awesome
Thanks!
Very nice!

Does a wet room need ventilation? I noticed the glass goes all the way to the ceiling so maybe not. Or maybe the ventilation is from the window only or the door needs to stay open when the tub/shower is not in use?
There’s a gap above the glass door for air as with all our showers
Hypothetically, can I overflow the bath tub and it will go down the shower drain? Is there enough grout by the glass to avoid it running into the main area?
I wouldn’t recommend that with the design in this video as the water would pool on the floor but with the concept shown at 4:40 yes you could
I love wet room for entire bath. In asia its super common.
Really great work (as always). But I don't get the idea behind a wetroom.

Buddy you are not expensive. people saying that have no clue what it takes to do this type of work.
Thanks man, I appreciate you!
Vous avez confiance en un produit qui utilise de la colle à papier pour tenir une natte de désolidarisation :D
What city are you located?
Mississauga Canada
Filming while working must be a pain in the ass
It absolutely is. A lot of the time we have to work in weird ways to try and not obstruct the camera. Or just being extremely careful to not knock it over and break the expensive lens. Managing batteries and constantly having to move it. It’s even worse in smaller bathrooms
It would be nice if it was also a steam shower
Wet room preview = instant like. This is my "wet dream", pun intended, to have a bathroom like this.
I love the contrasting floor tiles and the frost glass entry door to the bathroom. Just incredible!
Cost?
Amazing work as always. That corner bench looks so out of place though, cant see how someone would want that small random placement in a high end design...
Thank you and to each their own
Ya
Ya
door should have opened inwards to allow a bathmat
No lipage on the ceiling, god forbid someone trips

You’re my hero
WOW that is beautiful! I'm not a fan of wet rooms from a functional standpoint, but conceptually they're gorgeous! Having somewhat limited mobility, I dread having to clean the area behind the tub, so just not the right fit for me. :)
I also love curbless showers, and definitely want to incorporate one, but trying to do that with the linear drain I also want is making my head hurt. Either I slope the entire bathroom, or there's a lip. LOL
Thanks! We’re currently working on a curbless linear project. Video should be out for that early January
Wow, animal using a pry demolition bar to rip up tiles.
Get a power demolition hammer. You will last longer and save your energy. Steady gets the job done. Not tiring yourself out and trying to bull through everything. Smarter not harder. Otherwise great work.
Used to use an SDS but found the pry bar to be easier
Might have to look into getting something bigger in the sds family though
I really like your videos and the work you do but I have to say that the music is just distracting and over powers your voice a bit.
Maybe wrong in this case how Easy it comes up determines everything ..no offense generated.
Too sterile haha but not bad job
Do you provide your service in the Markham area?
No sorry
