A bathroom that works better every day

Bathroom remodeling in Decorah, Iowa

When your bathroom feels cramped, outdated, or difficult to clean, it affects how you start and end each day. Grout that will not come clean, a tub you can no longer step into safely, or a vanity with no storage all add friction to your routine. In Decorah, many older homes have small bathrooms with layouts that were never designed for modern use, and a full remodel can open up the space and make it more comfortable.

Farley Construction LLC handles full bathroom remodels and layout upgrades, including tile work, vanity installation, plumbing updates, and fixture replacement. Our crew has the remodeling experience to manage tight spaces, work around old plumbing, and deliver finishes that hold up to daily use. We focus on durability, function, and materials that are easy to maintain over time.

What happens during a bathroom remodel

We start by removing the old fixtures, tile, and flooring, then inspect the subfloor and walls for water damage or mold. In Decorah, older bathrooms often have cast iron drains or galvanized supply lines that need replacing, and we coordinate with licensed plumbers to bring everything up to code. We install cement board around the tub and shower, waterproof the seams, and lay tile with consistent grout lines and proper slope for drainage.

When the remodel is complete, you will have a bathroom with a vanity that provides usable storage, a shower or tub that drains quickly, and tile that stays clean without constant scrubbing. The exhaust fan will move moisture out efficiently, and the fixtures will operate smoothly without leaks or drips.

We handle all demo, framing, and finish work, and we protect the rest of your home with plastic sheeting and daily cleanup. Our crew is licensed and insured, and we communicate openly if we find issues that need attention. The job site stays organized, and we walk you through the completed work before we leave.

Concerns people bring up before starting

Homeowners usually want to know how long they will be without a bathroom, what happens if we find water damage, and whether the layout can be changed.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Most full bathroom remodels in Decorah take two to three weeks, depending on the size and whether plumbing is being relocated. We provide a timeline upfront and keep you updated if delays occur.
Can you change the layout of the bathroom?
Yes, we can move the toilet, sink, or shower if the plumbing and venting allow it. Relocating fixtures usually adds time and cost, but it can make a small bathroom much more functional.
What if you find water damage under the floor?
We document the damage, explain what needs to be replaced, and provide a cost estimate before proceeding. Most water damage is localized around the toilet or tub and can be repaired without affecting the rest of the project.
Will I be able to use the bathroom during the remodel?
Not during active work, but if you have a second bathroom, we focus on completing one at a time. If it is your only bathroom, we try to have the toilet functional by the end of each day when possible.
How do you prevent mold in the new bathroom?
We install cement board in wet areas, use waterproof membranes behind tile, and make sure the exhaust fan is properly vented to the outside. Proper ventilation and drainage are the best defenses against moisture buildup.
