Bathrooms
Peaceful and clean
A bathroom should work as well as it looks.
Zischke Builders remodels existing bathrooms and laundry rooms and creates entirely new ones as part of basements, bedroom suites, additions and larger renovations.
From updating a worn bathroom to building a new bath, we coordinate the construction, trades and finish work needed to make the new space function as part of the home.
We start with your needs
Some projects begin because your bathroom is just dated, while other projects are new bathrooms.
A basement may need a full bath. A primary bedroom may have room for a private bathroom that was never part of the original layout. A laundry area may need to move, expand or become a dedicated room.
Whatever you need, we’ve got you.
Existing bathroom remodeling
Update a dated bathroom, improve the layout, replace a tub or shower, add storage or rebuild the room more completely.
New bathrooms
Create a bathroom in a basement, bedroom suite, addition or other part of the home where one did not previously exist.
Laundry rooms
Remodel or create laundry spaces with the plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, storage and finishes needed for everyday use.
Part of a larger renovation
Bathrooms and laundry rooms can be incorporated into basement finishes, additions and multi-room projects where Zischke is already coordinating the broader construction.

Make your space work more efficiently
A few inches can change how comfortable a bathroom feels. Door swings, shower dimensions, vanity depth, storage and fixture placement all affect how people move through the room.
Laundry rooms have their own practical questions. Washer and dryer placement, counter space, hanging space, cabinetry and storage can determine whether the room actually makes household routines easier.
Zischke looks at those functional details alongside the finishes.
And when standard cabinetry or shelving does not make good use of the space, our finish-carpentry capabilities give us additional options for built-in storage, custom cabinetry, shelving and trim.
Existing rooms, new rooms and everything in between
A bathroom reimagined
This is a great example of a bathroom remodel. It started when the homeowner found water damage and needed to call their insurance company. We have worked directly with insurance adjusters on behalf of homeowners for decades. We were able to not only fix the damage, but we delivered a tiled primary bathroom with a bench shower, luxurious tub, towel storage and more.
What started with disaster ended with a luxurious getaway
Fit more life into your bathroom
This bathroom is a great example of what we can do with a limited space. Michigan homes can have small bathrooms, but we were able to fit in features that give it the full master bathroom experience. This includes the full couples vanity with dual sinks, the backlit mirror, high-efficiency toilet, and a beautiful glass and tile shower with floors to offset everything. If you think your bathroom is too small to be improved, think twice.
New bathrooms and basements
We don’t just remodel bathrooms. We can build new bathrooms from the ground up. We typically do this as part of an addition or a finished basement. You can trust that we know what we are doing because we install dozens of new bathrooms every year in all styles.
What happens next?
You don’t need to know exactly where every fixture will go before contacting Zischke. Start with the problem you are trying to solve.
Look at the existing space
Our owner measures and estimates each project personally. We look at the room, surrounding areas and existing conditions that will affect what can reasonably be built.
Develop the project
For an existing bathroom, that may mean working through a new layout, shower, storage and finishes.
For a completely new bathroom or laundry room, it also means determining how plumbing, electrical work, ventilation and framing can be incorporated into the house.
Coordinate the construction
We manage the different trades and stages as one project rather than leaving the homeowner to coordinate them independently.
Finish the room
Tile, cabinetry, fixtures, flooring, lighting, trim and transitions are completed with the surrounding home in mind.
Common questions about bathrooms and laundry rooms
Can you add new bathrooms to a home?
Yes. Zischke Builders can create new bathrooms in basements, bedroom suites, additions and other parts of an existing home. The available space, plumbing, structure and surrounding conditions determine what is involved.
Can you add a bathroom to a basement?
Yes. Bathrooms are commonly incorporated into Zischke’s finished-basement projects. The plumbing conditions and basement layout determine how the new room is approached.
Can you add a bathroom to an existing primary bedroom?
In some homes, yes. Zischke can evaluate whether adjoining or available space can be reconfigured for a bathroom and what plumbing, framing and other construction would be required.
Do you build or remodel laundry rooms?
Yes. Laundry projects can include new or relocated plumbing and electrical service, cabinetry, shelving, flooring, storage and other finish work.
Can a bathroom or laundry room be part of a larger project?
Yes. Zischke frequently handles projects involving several rooms and trades, so bathrooms and laundry rooms can be incorporated into basements, additions and larger renovations.
Do you handle insurance-related bathroom or laundry-room repairs?
Yes. We have deep experience with insurance restoration, adjusters, and repair work. Water or other damage affecting a bathroom or laundry room may also involve flooring, drywall, framing, plumbing or adjoining spaces.
How much does a bathroom or laundry-room project cost?
Cost depends on the existing conditions, whether a new room is being created, plumbing and electrical requirements, layout changes, tile, cabinetry, fixtures and finish selections. Zischke develops pricing after evaluating the space and agreeing on the scope.
