Local tile work

Craftsman-era baths near the Sound

Older coastal homes often keep original baths with soft substrate, tired surrounds, and moisture that never fully leaves the walls.

Andzhei is based in Everett, just up the coast, and takes Edmonds jobs that fit his calendar. The same person measures the room, plans the layout, and sets every tile. Nothing gets torn out until the visit has made substrate, cost, and timing clear.

General answers on tile, cost, and timing are on the bathroom page page; this one is about Edmonds houses.

Shower work

Showers fitted to walls that lean

Old showers here tend to have tired pans and walls that lean. I straighten out the layout first, check the substrate, seal the wet area as one step of prep, and then set the tile.

Out-of-square corners are where layout shows. Cuts get planned so grout lines read straight even when the walls are not. That comes from 15+ years of hands-on tile installation.

Original tile you like? Say so on the visit. Some pieces can stay in place; others have to come out with the old substrate.

Tell Andzhei how old the house is and what bothers you about the bath, through the form or by phone.

Other tile work

Kitchen and floors in the same craftsman home

Craftsman houses often have a tired entry floor or an old fireplace surround too. Those can follow the bath with the same installer.

How I work

See the substrate, then schedule the outage

Craftsman baths hide soft spots until you open them. My bathroom remodeling services in Edmonds put the substrate first and the schedule second. Scope is set after I walk the room, and I do the install myself, from prep to grout.

  1. 01

    Walls and floor checked

    I test the substrate, check the walls for square and the floor for level, and only then plan the layout.

  2. 02

    Scope and cost

    What stays, what comes out, the price, and the timeline, settled up front.

  3. 03

    Layout, then tile

    Cuts planned around crooked corners, then each tile set by hand.

  4. 04

    Last details

    Grout, trim, cleanup, and a look at the finished room with you.

Before a visit

Questions about older Edmonds baths

Does the damp coastal air change the prep?

It can. Near the water, I pay extra attention to substrate dryness and cure time, and the wet area gets sealed as part of prep. Soft or damp walls get called out on the visit—not after the finish is on.

Can you work in an older craftsman bathroom?

Often. Many craftsman baths have out-of-square walls and tired pans. I plan layout and prep around what is actually there, then confirm what stays versus what comes out.

Will tear-out surprise us once walls open?

Sometimes. Older homes hide soft spots. The visit sets a base plan; if damage turns up, you get a clear change before more work continues.

Do you keep the vintage footprint or open the wet area?

Either path works when the house allows it. The call gets made after measuring doors, drains, and clearances—not from a mood board alone.
