June 4th, 2026Andrea Picardi, Marketing Director
When it comes to remodeling, creating beautiful spaces is only part of the equation. At McDrake Remodeling, we believe your home should continue to serve your needs comfortably, safely, and stylishly for years to come. That’s exactly what we accomplished in this Virginia Beach bathroom remodeling project, where our team transformed three outdated bathrooms into stunning coastal-inspired retreats designed with aging-in-place features and thoughtful functionality.
Our homeowners wanted bathrooms that reflected their style while providing accessibility, safety, and convenience as they continue to enjoy their home for years to come. With the expertise of our design team and our Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS), we reimagined each space with improved layouts, enhanced storage, modern finishes, and integrated safety features that blend seamlessly into the design.
Before and After
Primary Bathroom Remodel: A Spacious Coastal Retreat
The primary bathroom underwent a complete transformation. We removed outdated flooring, tile, tub walls, toilet, and fixtures before redesigning the entire layout to create a more open, functional, and luxurious space.
Working closely with our homeowners, our design team developed a floor plan that maximized both comfort and accessibility. The result is a modern coastal-inspired retreat featuring beautiful shades of blue, natural textures, and thoughtful aging-in-place solutions.

Before and After
Hall Bathroom Remodel: Coastal Charm Meets Guest-Friendly Comfort
The hall bathroom was also completely reimagined to create a more welcoming and spacious environment. To maximize square footage, we removed an existing closet and restructured the floor plan, allowing for a larger, more functional bathroom.
