Bright, Modern, and Built to Last: A Double Bathroom Remodel in Virginia Beach
July 25th, 2025By Andrea Picardi, Marketing Director
At McDrake Remodeling, we believe even the smallest spaces can deliver the biggest transformations. For this Virginia Beach family, our team recently brought new life to their primary and hall bathrooms—spaces that were once dark, dated, and challenging to maintain. Now, both rooms reflect a fresh, modern style and functionality that the homeowners will enjoy for years to comee.
Client Goals:
The homeowners came to us wanting more light, less maintenance, and a cleaner, contemporary look. Their existing bathrooms featured outdated tile with heavy grout lines—difficult to keep clean and visually cluttered. Though the bathrooms weren’t large, they dreamed of open, brighter spaces with sleek finishes and smart layouts. And that’s exactly what we delivered.
Primary Bathroom Transformation
We started with a full demo of the old primary bath, carefully opening up the shower area by removing a soffit and widening the entry. This change alone brought a sense of spaciousness and welcomed in more light. A new half wall beside the toilet provided privacy without making the room feel boxed in.

After
To elevate the space further, we installed stunning 24” x 24” Superwhite Satin Calacatta tile on the shower walls—its clean lines and marble-like finish add timeless sophistication. The homeowners selected Responsive Industries luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring, known for its durability and easy maintenance.
Other upgrades included:
✔️ New vanity and framed mirror
✔️ Modern lighting and recessed shower lighting
✔️ New exhaust fan
✔️ Fresh plumbing fixtures
✔️ A crisp, bright coat of paint to tie it all together
✔️ A custom DreamLine frameless shower door was installed to further enhance the feeling of openness while maintaining separation and functionality.
The result is a serene, spa-like space that feels open, bright, and beautifully modern.
Hall Bathroom Reimagined
In the hall bath, we carried through the same thoughtful attention to light and layout. Our team removed the soffit above the tub to visually expand the space, and we built a wall between the tub and toilet for added privacy.
Before
After
Additional upgrades included:
✔️ Responsive Industries LVT flooring (installed by our Carpet Hut by McDrake team)
✔️ New toilet, vanity, and mirror
✔️ Updated lighting and fan
✔️ New plumbing fixtures
✔️ A bright, clean paint finish to complete the look
This hall bath now feels polished, welcoming, and easier than ever to maintain.
