RECONSTRUCTION AFTER THE LOSS
A bathroom is a connected room.
Bathroom reconstruction restores the building components affected by water, fire or the removal of damaged materials. Metrospec Construction coordinates bathroom rebuilding in Greater Montréal after the necessary cleanup, drying and remediation. Depending on the agreed scope, the work may include walls and ceilings, flooring, a vanity, cabinetry and finishing around fixtures. We discuss what can remain, what needs replacement and how the repairs connect with the rest of the room. Material choices, access and the sequence of work are clarified before installation. For an insured loss, the reconstruction scope and payment arrangements should be discussed with the relevant insurance contacts before work is authorized.
DEFINE THE WORK
The surfaces and components that work together.
Flooring & transitions
Discuss the condition of the floor support, the selected covering and the transition to the hall or adjoining room. Finished floor height also matters around doors and fixtures.
Vanities & storage
Coordinate a replacement vanity or affected cabinetry with the available space, countertop dimensions and planned connections. Review what can stay before deciding what to order.
Finishing around fixtures
Plan the interfaces around a shower, tub, toilet or sink according to the agreed repairs. Fixture changes and related trade work should be identified as part of the scope.
BEFORE ORDERING OR STARTING WORK
Make the important choices before the room closes up.
Keep or change the layout?
Restoring the existing arrangement and relocating fixtures create different requirements. Discuss a layout change separately so its effects on the work are clear.
Which finishes belong together?
Bring tile, flooring, paint and cabinetry choices into one conversation. Edges, trims and transitions influence how the finished bathroom looks.
How will the bathroom be used during the work?
Access depends on the work underway. Let us know if this is the property’s only bathroom so practical arrangements can be discussed.
BEFORE WE SPEAK
A useful starting point.
- Photos of the affected bathroom and any removed components.
- The status of cleanup, drying and other preparation.
- Which fixtures or cabinetry you hope to retain.
- Any access needs, layout ideas or material preferences.
You can call even if some details are still being worked out. For an insured loss, keep your insurer or adjuster’s contact information handy as well.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Before the rebuild begins.
Do all bathroom components need replacement?
Not necessarily. The reconstruction scope depends on the affected components, their condition and how they connect. Discuss retained fixtures, flooring and cabinetry before selecting replacements.
Can we change the layout while rebuilding?
A different layout can be discussed, but it may change connections, material quantities, cost and timing. Keep optional improvements distinct from the repairs associated with the loss.
Can you rebuild around an existing tub or shower?
That depends on the condition of the retained fixture and the repairs around it. The scope should clarify access, adjoining surfaces and the details where new work meets existing components.
Can we use the bathroom during reconstruction?
Use depends on the stage and extent of the work. Discuss access and temporary arrangements before work begins, especially if no other bathroom is available.
Will insurance pay for all of this work?
Coverage depends on your policy and the assessment of the claim. Clarify the approved scope, any limits and payment arrangements with your insurer or adjuster; discuss optional improvements separately.
