Tub-to-shower conversion, for homeowners who want a shower instead of a tub they no longer use, often completed in days rather than weeks when it is a standalone project.

Bathroom vanities and cabinetry, from a single-sink vanity swap to custom cabinetry paired with a quartz or granite countertop.
Accessible and aging-in-place bathrooms, including grab bars, curbless showers, wider doorways, and non-slip flooring, planned into the design instead of retrofitted later.
Drywall repair and finishing, lighting and electrical updates, paint and finish work, and the details that turn a bathroom remodel into a finished room, not just new fixtures.

What's Included in
a Bathroom
Remodel
Small Bathroom
Remodeling
Smart layout changes, wall-hung or corner fixtures, and the right tile choices can make a compact bathroom feel significantly larger without expanding its footprint.
If space is the main constraint on your project, tell us during your consultation. It changes how we approach the layout from the start.
Accessible &
Aging-in-Place
Bathrooms
Grab bars, curbless and barrier-free showers, wider doorways, and non-slip flooring let homeowners stay safely and comfortably in their homes as needs change, without a bathroom that looks institutional. This is a growing request across our service area, and it’s built into how we design a remodel from the start when it’s part of the scope, not added as an afterthought.
Before & After

Built for Southwest
Michigan's Climate
& Local Codes
A lot of the homes we remodel were built decades before today's ventilation and moisture standards existed, so bringing an older bathroom up to a level that actually holds up to lake-effect humidity is often part of the job even when a homeowner didn't ask for it specifically.
We also handle the local permitting process directly with the relevant city or township and Berrien County, coordinating inspections around your construction schedule so you're not the one tracking down paperwork or waiting on a call back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Process: bathrooms hide more surprises than most rooms. Old plumbing, water damage behind tile, and subfloor issues may not be visible until the room is opened up. Our eight-step process is designed to catch those issues early instead of finding them mid-project.
1. Free consultation — we walk the space with you and talk through scope, budget, and priorities.
2. Inspection — we check plumbing, subfloor, and structure for issues that should not appear in a walkthrough alone.
3. Design and planning — layout, fixtures, tile, and vanity selections are finalized before pricing.
4. Quote — a detailed written estimate based on the finalized scope, not a rough range.
5. Approval — you sign off on the plan and price before work begins.
6. Construction — demolition, plumbing, electrical, tile, and finish work on the agreed timeline.
7. Final inspection — we walk the finished bathroom with you against the original scope.
8. Handoff — the space is cleaned and ready to use, with warranty information provided.
Why Homeowners
Choose MB Lake
Construction
“Edificando sueños,” building dreams, is not just a slogan; it is the standard we hold every bathroom remodel to, from the first consultation to the final walkthrough.
We are licensed and insured, and we stand behind our work with the same three values on every project: honesty about what something actually costs and how long it actually takes, responsibility for getting it right, and craftsmanship that holds up, especially in a room that takes as much daily wear as a bathroom does.
When you hire MB Lake, you are working directly with the people doing the work, not a call center routing you to a subcontractor.
We remodel bathrooms throughout Berrien County, including two towns, Berrien Springs and Watervliet, that some area remodelers don't serve at all.
Our bathroom remodeling team serves homeowners across Berrien County with complete renovations, walk-in showers, bathtub replacements, tile installation, vanities, flooring and accessibility improvements.
Each project is planned around the homeowner's space, preferred design and budget, with careful attention to waterproofing, functionality and long-term durability.

Questions

Bathroom remodeling costs in Southwest Michigan typically range from a few thousand dollars for a cosmetic refresh to $20,000 or more for a full gut renovation with a relocated shower or vanity. The calculator above gives you a starting range based on your specific project. Four things drive that number more than anything else. Scope is the biggest factor. Swapping a vanity, fixtures, and paint costs far less than tearing a bathroom down to the studs. Plumbing changes come next. Moving a toilet, shower, or sink means opening walls and floors, which adds material and labor cost that a like-for-like replacement avoids. Material tier matters too: ceramic tile and a standard vanity cost less than natural stone, custom tile patterns, or premium fixtures, and neither choice is wrong, it depends on your budget and how long you plan to stay in the home. Finally, permits: any project involving plumbing or electrical work requires a permit from the city or township, which MB Lake handles directly as part of the project rather than passing that step back to you. We walk through all of this during your free consultation and put it in writing before any work starts, no surprise change orders.
Most bathroom remodels take 1 to 3 weeks depending on scope. A cosmetic refresh, including paint, fixtures, and a vanity, can be completed in days. A full gut renovation with plumbing changes takes longer, especially when tile work or a layout change is involved.
Plumbing changes, moving a toilet, shower, or sink, add cost and time. Tile type, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone all price differently. Bathroom size and larger footprints mean more material and labor. Accessibility features, grab bars and curbless showers are inexpensive to add during a remodel, but are far more costly to retrofit later.
Yes, grab bars, curbless showers, and wider doorways are all part of our standard scope.
Yes, a shower or tub-to-shower conversion can be done as a standalone project.
