ABOUT US

All Bathroom Remodelers are NOT The Same.

When it comes to hiring contractors and remodeling companies, Houston is like the wild west.  Many say the same things, but only a small fraction consistently deliver on their promises.

At Simplicity Bath, we help homeowners in Katy, Fulshear, Memorial, and West Houston avoid the hassles and stress of going through a bathroom remodel with the WRONG contractor.  Our approach is simple: we offer a step-by-step process with up-front pricing, support you with clear and consistent communication, and properly manage your build to ELIMINATE CHAOS. 

Here’s more about the differences you can expect between us and other Houston bathroom remodelers, and how we help you avoid the “Houston remodeling grind”:

PROPER PLANNING = HAPPY CLIENTS

Once you’ve been through a stressful remodel, you never want to go through it again.

The truth is, many remodelers aren’t very good at the actual thing you’re hiring them for: construction and project management.  Of course, they won’t say this up front.

With Simplicity Bath & Shower, you won’t have to worry about a stressful, poorly-planned, or badly-executed remodel.  We carefully plan and coordinate your project before construction begins, to ensure your bathroom is completed on-time and on-spec.

Our teams begin your remodel with a clear plan of action, and don’t show up unannounced.

  • You won’t need to manage the work yourself, as we carefully oversee your project via in-house construction management.
  • You can expect thorough dust control measures, daily clean-ups, and no trash left in your home or yard.
  • If we miss something, simply let us know, and we’ll take care of it, pronto.

 

In a nutshell, our construction processes are designed to minimize YOUR hassle, stress, and lifestyle disruption.

NO SALES PEOPLE, NO GIMMICKS

In the 2020s, most people want a straightforward purchase process that’s the opposite of what remodelers have traditionally delivered.  Busy families and working professionals don’t have time for the old-school sales presentations, pricing games, and low-key pressure that’s typical of larger bathroom remodelers.

Unfortunately, most Houston bathroom companies still operate the OLD WAY:  

They use corporate or stock photos all over their website, instead of real pictures of bathrooms and showers they've actually built for homeowners like you.

They have zero pricing on their website, and won’t discuss it over the phone – you must have a “free estimate” salesperson out to hear how much your bathroom remodel costs.

You have to sit through some consultant-developed iPad presentation to have your questions answered and get pricing (like you’re buying a timeshare, except there's no free food!).

They hit you with high-pressure, “buy today” coupons and fake price drops once they’ve told you the price. Yes, they really do this.

Their salespeople are experts at winning friends and influencing people (thanks, Dale Carnegie!) but have limited design and construction knowledge.

There are often significant disconnects between what their salespeople promise, and what actually happens on your remodel.

If you’ve ever had to deal with this type of approach, you know how ridiculous it is.  This is not how experts offer their services.

As a client of Simplicity Bath, you’ll avoid ALL of this unnecessary nonsense.

We start with a simple conversation, not a salesperson in your face.  We’ll explain how we work and how to take the next steps, including helping you determine if we’re a good fit before you decide to visit with us.

If you’re a Houston homeowner looking for high-quality results with a reasonable process, at a fair price, we’re a great fit.  We are not an artificially cheap small contractor who cuts corners to turn a profit, but neither are we an expensive mega-company with massive overhead, like most of the bath franchises and national bath companies with offices here.

You can check out our Pricing Guide here to help you budget appropriately.

Our clients get what they’re after, without having to haggle, and without worrying that the people they hired will be incompetent.  By any measure, that’s a win-win for everyone involved.

WHY would you do this another way?

"CONCIERGE"-LEVEL COMMUNICATION

A wise man once said, “To run a good business, you have to answer your phone.”

Sadly, poor communication is pervasive throughout the remodeling industry, and it can cause serious problems with your bathroom remodel.

According to the Project Management Institute, the leading cause of all project failures is poor communication.  If you’ve ever experienced problems and hassles stemming from shoddy communication, you know how absolutely infuriating it can be!

You will NOT get this treatment from us.  All clients receive the company owner’s cell number, and can run any concern directly to the top, at any time. 

When you work with Simplicity Bath, expect frequent communication from our team via call and text during regular business hours.  Your bathroom renovation is a major investment, and you deserve to be kept in the loop, so we’ll never “go dark” – period.

OUR BUSINESS IS PERSONAL

THE TEXAS WAY

Your bathroom remodel is a substantial investment in your quality of life, and hiring someone to work inside your home is as personal as it gets.

As a homegrown Texas company, we LOVE our AWESOME state and its values, and relish the opportunity to serve our fellow Houstonians.  Our clients get the financial stability and staying power of a large company, along with the tradecraft, friendly service, flexibility, and individual attention of a smaller enterprise.  You’re never just a number with our family business. 

Our goal is to provide helpful, straightforward information here on our site, to help you plan appropriately for your bath remodel.  When you reach out to us, we’ll offer expert guidance and advice to help you get the bathroom or shower YOU want, versus pushing a sales agenda.

If we can’t help you, we’ll tell you so, and try to point you in the right direction. That’s what being “small enough to care” is all about.  This is why those in the know
prefer to hire locally, particularly here in Houston, where cold, impersonal, large brands are everywhere.

As your neighbor, our first and only goal is to honor God by serving you well.

BATHROOM REMODELING IS FOR EXPERTS, NOT GC's

You can’t be an expert at everything.  

A general contractor (GC) does many things.  A specialty, or niche, contractor does only one or two things, much better.  With bathroom and shower remodeling. you’ll almost always get a higher-quality and better-built result working with a specialist, than a generalist.

From our founding in 2014, we decided to specialize in custom bathrooms, showers, and waterproofing.  The expertise we’ve developed in this niche allows us to provide you with better detail management and a smoother, more consistent experience, versus hiring a general contractor, home improvement company, or plastic bath franchise.

As specialists, we build beautiful, technically-superior bathrooms and showers to meet your unique needs.

We don’t offer every service under the sun, as most Houston contractors do.

Instead, we build a lot of bathrooms and showers, and we build them well.

Check out our photosvideosFAQs, and online reviews to get a sample of our approach to sound waterproofing and construction techniques.

We love being great at what we do, and we don’t take
competency lightly!

"FAIR TRADe" REMODELING

No one wants unhappy, underpaid workers in their home.  So, we don’t put you through this.

Instead, our stringent hiring and standards enforcement ensures we only work with the top 5% of tile setters, plumbers, carpenters, and other tradespeople in Houston, and we pay wages that reward our skilled workmen for their efforts.

Our teams have been experts in their trades for years, and they have our respect and appreciation.  Whether you live in Katy, Fulshear, or the Memorial Villages, we work with the same people over and over again to produce consistent, high-quality bath remodels.

In return, you get a job well-done, without having to worry about underqualified, inexperienced people in your home. This isn’t revolutionary stuff, but most contractors simply don’t operate this way – particularly in Houston.  Instead, they take the antagonistic approach:

  • Negotiating hard with skilled trade contractors on specialty work.
  • Hiring cheap, fly-by-night Houston subcontractors to artificially lower prices.
  • Paying low, but stable, wages to “employees” and dealing with the resultant turnover.
 

These are not smart practices for long-term quality.  Treating skilled laborers as a cost to be minimized leads to humans not caring about their work, which, in turn, can derail or destroy your remodel, or result in a leaking shower, or other major problems. Ultimately, we believe that folks who earn their living with their hands should be able to support their families.

We call our cooperative approach “Fair Trade Remodeling.”
