Bath remodels, from the first plastic sheet to the last light bar

Reeves Painting and Remodeling’s hall bath album, in order: the before, the demo, the blue tape, then dark painted vanities, sage walls, framed mirrors and a tile floor.

The remodeling half of the yard sign

The red yard sign says Reeves Painting and Remodeling, and their Facebook page describes the business the same way: quality work for reasonable prices, over 20 years of experience. Painting is most of what Josh Reeves’s crew is known for around Lindale, Tyler and Longview. Bath remodels are the other half of that sign, and the clearest proof of them is one full album of a bathroom job, which this page walks through.

It is worth being plain about what this page is. It is not a catalog of fixtures or a price list. It is a before-and-after record of one set of rooms from start to finish, with a caption under every photo that says only what the photo shows. If you want to know whether your own bathroom is the right size or shape of job for them, the estimate visit is where that gets answered.

One line from their own interior and exterior painting page fits a bathroom better than most rooms: remodeling projects always look like organized chaos, and at Reeves Painting they never forget that organized is the operative word. A small room with a tub, a vanity and a toilet leaves very little space for mess to hide, so how the crew protects the room matters as much as how the finished room looks.

What the album shows, stage by stage

The album opens on a bathroom that has not been touched: oak cabinets, a white counter, a skylight over the tub and a pale tile floor. The next picture is the demo. The cabinets are wrapped in clear plastic, the skylight is still overhead and debris covers the floor. A bathroom in that state is the part the homeowner dreads, and it is also the part that tells you the room is being done properly, because nothing in it is left unprotected.

Then comes the taped stage, which will look familiar if you have seen their painting prep. Blue tape runs along the trim, a framed mirror is covered in plastic, the toilet is bagged, and a cabinet and vanity wait under cover against a sage wall. Every edge that is not getting paint is taped before a brush comes out.

The finished rooms are the payoff. Dark painted vanities with granite tops, a dark cabinet over the toilet, framed mirrors in a dark frame, glass-shade light bars, sage walls and a tile floor. One vanity has a seated makeup bay between two sinks. The wide shot at the top of this page shows the whole double vanity, and the photo reel below puts the stages in sequence so you can scroll from the bare room to the finished one.

Why a painter’s habits suit a small room

A bathroom is mostly surfaces that must stay clean while the work goes on around them: tub, toilet, counter, mirror. Their tips page spells out the habits that protect them. Overlap the tape at the edges to avoid seepage and seal it tightly. Tape screws to the base covers when you remove electrical outlet covers, for a much neater job. Floors get covered with proper drop cloths, never bedsheets, because paint soaks straight through fabric.

The dark vanities and cabinets in the album also sit squarely inside work they already do. Cabinet painting is on their services list, and the cabinets page shows kitchens sealed in plastic and sprayed in place. In a bathroom, that same habit of protecting everything and then painting what is left is what produces a clean edge between a sage wall and a dark cabinet.

The usual way in is the same as for any job. Someone comes out to look at the room, talks through the project and the colors, and leaves a printed estimate that spells out materials and labor, pricing and work specifications. For their painting work, they say it starts anywhere from one to three weeks after the estimate, once colors and specs are confirmed and the contract is signed.
