🧾Patient: Multi-surface interior with aging subfloor, outdated tub surround, and worn entry details
Client: Condo Association


🤕 Symptoms:

-Subfloor creaking and lacking vapor barrier protection
-Tub surround framed but unfinished — no water protection or support for safety accessories
-Floors across kitchen, hallway, bath, and living area were mismatched, uneven, and visually disjointed
-No cohesive transition system between rooms
-Entry hardware was loose and dated

🩺 Diagnosis:
This unit had the bones, but no connective tissue. The original flooring system had gaps in both alignment and moisture defense. Meanwhile, the bathroom tub area was framed out but structurally unsupported for fixtures — no blocking, no waterproofing, no tile integrity. The subfloor screws were sparse, leaving movement and instability underfoot.

A high-traffic unit like this one, with multiple transitional zones and shared ownership, needed consistency, security, and waterproofing at its core — plus hardware updates to bring the entry up to par.

🛠️ Treatment Plan:

-Subfloor + Underlayment:
-Installed vapor barrier over existing subfloor
-Installed 332.5 sq ft of LVT click-lock flooring in a continuous run — bathroom, hallway, kitchen, dining, and living room entry
-Laid additional luan sheathing for support and fastened with precision screws to eliminate bounce or gaps

Trim & Finishing Touches:

-Cut and installed 4 custom transition strips with mitered angles for smooth room-to-room flow
-Installed brass deadbolt/entry lock combo at front door

Bathroom Revamp:

-Framed and added blocking in tub surround to support 2 grab bars
-Installed HardieBacker cement board to tub area with proper shims to level out inconsistencies
-Applied RedGard waterproofing membrane to all wet wall surfaces
-Tiled 78.5 sq ft in total using brilliant white subway tile, bullnose trim, and a hexagonal marble accent band
-Installed 1 safety grab bar with shelf, 1 soap dish, and all hardware sealed for long-term use

💡 Prognosis:

This condo is now ready for real-life use — durable, safe, and styled clean. The click-lock LVT flooring offers scratch-resistant, water-resistant performance that will last through seasons of wear, while the custom tub surround brings a hotel-like feel to a rental-grade unit. Every room connects visually and physically, with smart transitions and clean lines. This space isn’t just revived — it’s reimagined.
