Bathroom Remodeling in Clayton, NC — One Team, Start to Finish

If you want a real bathroom remodel — new layout, relocated plumbing, custom tile, the whole thing — you need a contractor who can handle every trade under one roof. At Pro Maxx One, we're a licensed general contractor with in-house plumbing, gas, and venting. No subcontractor shuffle. No schedule gaps while you wait for three different crews to show up. Just one team that owns the project from demo day to final walkthrough.

We work with Clayton and Johnston County homeowners on the full range of bathroom projects — from complete master bath remodels to guest bath refreshes to accessibility upgrades that make a bathroom work for the long haul. Here's what we handle:

 

  • Master bath remodels (layout changes, plumbing relocation, tile, fixtures, and finishes)
  • Tub-to-shower conversions and walk-in shower builds
  • Guest bathroom updates
  • Accessibility upgrades (grab bars, curbless showers, comfort-height fixtures)
  • Fixture and vanity replacements
  • Plumbing rough-in and fixture installation for new builds or additions

 

If your project involves relocating a gas-fired water heater as part of the remodel, we handle that too — no need to bring in a separate gas contractor.

Real Remodel. Not a Liner.

There's a big difference between a cosmetic overlay and a bathroom remodel. Tub liners and acrylic inserts can be installed in a day, and they can look fine — for a while. But if your goal is a bathroom that's genuinely rebuilt, with new plumbing, new tile, and a layout that actually works for your household, that's a different job entirely.

 

We do the real thing. Walls come down, plumbing gets relocated if the design calls for it, and everything is built back out properly — waterproofing, backer board, tile, fixtures, and trim. The work is permitted where required and inspected. When we're done, you have a bathroom that's built to last, not a surface treatment on top of a 20-year-old tub.

Quote First. Then We Swing a Hammer.

Change orders are the most common complaint we hear from homeowners who've been through a remodel before. A contractor gives you a rough number, starts the job, and then the add-ons start arriving — sometimes weekly.

 

We scope bathroom remodels in writing with line-item pricing before any work begins. You know what the project costs, what's included, and what would trigger a change order before we touch a single tile. That's not just good business — it's respect for your budget and your time.

How the Process Works

Getting started is straightforward. Here's what to expect:

 

Step 1: Initial Conversation

 

We talk through what you're trying to accomplish — layout goals, fixture preferences, budget range, and timeline. This is where we figure out whether you're looking for a full gut remodel or a targeted update.

 

Step 2: On-Site Assessment

 

We walk the space, look at the existing plumbing and venting, and identify anything that affects scope or cost. This is where we catch the surprises before they become change orders.

 

Step 3: Written Scope and Pricing

 

You receive a written proposal with line-item pricing. No ballpark estimates, no handshake numbers. If you have questions or want to adjust scope, we work through it before anything is signed.

 

Step 4: Permits and Scheduling

 

We pull the permits required for your project and give you a clear project timeline. Our in-house team handles plumbing, gas, and venting — so the schedule doesn't depend on outside crews showing up.

 

Step 5: Build and Final Walkthrough

 

We complete the work and walk through the finished project with you before we call it done. If something isn't right, we make it right.

Why Homeowners in Clayton Choose Pro Maxx One

Most remodeling contractors are general contractors who sub out the plumbing and gas work. That means coordinating multiple schedules, multiple invoices, and multiple people who each think someone else owns the problem when something doesn't line up.

 

We're different because of what we carry in-house:

 

  • Licensed General Contractor — we can pull the GC permit and run the full project
  • Licensed Plumber — plumbing rough-in, fixture installation, and drain work done by our own team
  • HVAC and gas licensed — if your remodel touches a gas line or a gas appliance, we handle it
  • Certified Rinnai technician — if you're upgrading to a tankless water heater as part of the project, we install and service it ourselves

 

That combination is unusual. Most plumbers aren't GCs. Most GCs sub the plumbing. We built the business specifically so homeowners don't have to manage that gap.

Bathroom Remodeling — Common Questions

  • How long does a bathroom remodel take?

    A full master bath remodel typically runs two to four weeks depending on scope, material lead times, and permit turnaround. A more targeted update — like a tub-to-shower conversion without a full layout change — can often be completed in less time. We give you a realistic timeline in writing before work starts.

  • Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Clayton, NC?

    It depends on the scope. Cosmetic work like replacing fixtures or a vanity generally doesn't require a permit. Projects that involve moving plumbing, altering the drain system, or structural changes typically do. We handle permit applications for projects that require them — you don't have to navigate that yourself.

  • What's the difference between a tub-to-shower conversion and a walk-in shower build?

    A tub-to-shower conversion removes an existing tub and builds a shower in the same footprint, often with minimal plumbing relocation. A walk-in shower build may involve changing the footprint, relocating the drain, or reconfiguring the layout entirely. Both are projects we handle in-house, and we'll walk you through which approach fits your space and goals.

  • Can you handle a bathroom remodel that also involves moving a water heater?

    Yes. Because we're licensed for both plumbing and gas, we can relocate a gas-fired water heater as part of a remodel without bringing in a separate contractor. If you're also interested in upgrading to a tankless unit at the same time, we're certified Rinnai technicians and can handle that as part of the same project.

  • Do you serve areas outside of Clayton for bathroom remodeling?

    We serve Clayton and the surrounding Johnston County area, as well as Raleigh, Cary, and Apex. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call and we'll let you know.
