Bathroom Remodeling in Lafayette: Tile, Tubs and Custom Wood

5.0 from 6 Google reviews

Very Good Carpentry is a Lafayette crew with 15 years in construction and remodeling. Clients say Josh and Matt listen to the vision, then build it.

Bathrooms with real character, built by carpenters

Very Good Carpentry handles bathroom remodeling in Lafayette, and its clients describe the results as a true transformation. One client had a primary bath so small there was barely room to photograph it.

It now has stone-look walls, a deep soaking tub and brass fixtures, and she calls it the most amazing bathroom in Lafayette.

The crew are woodworkers as much as remodelers. They have built a solid mahogany floating vanity with the plumbing hidden inside, white oak furniture and walnut inlay pieces.

That eye for detail shows in every tile niche and vanity. Reviewers mention quality work, accurate pricing and a project that came in on time and on budget.

Bathroom remodeling in Lafayette, plus kitchens and custom wood

Full bathroom remodels

From the studs out: new tile, new tub or shower, vanity, lighting and fixtures. One client swapped a jetted tub for a soaker and a plastic surround for real tile to the ceiling, with recessed LED lights over the vanity.

Tile showers and tub surrounds

Floor-to-ceiling tile, built-in shampoo niches and clean glass. Past jobs include glossy green herringbone showers with a wood slat bench, vertical stacked green tile around a tub, and stone-look wall panels framed in brushed brass trim.

Bathroom and closet additions

Need more space, not just a refresh? The crew has taken a bathroom and walk-in closet addition from a blank slate to a finished suite, with a tiled shower, built-in vanity and closet, working alongside the homeowners through the entire project.

Custom vanities and built-ins

Because this is a carpentry shop, vanities can be built rather than bought. One favorite: a solid mahogany vanity floating on the wall, with the plumbing rerouted to hide inside the cabinet. Shelving, linen cabinets and trim get the same attention.

Kitchen remodeling

Very Good Carpentry lists full kitchen remodels alongside bathrooms as its specialty. Call to talk through cabinets, layout, countertops and finish carpentry for your kitchen, and ask Josh about the kitchens the crew has already built.

Custom furniture and woodwork

The shop also builds one-off pieces: a matching dining table and bench in solid white oak, a midcentury zebra wood headboard with built-in reading lamps, and walnut inlays set into a cypress trunk cross cut.

Why Lafayette homeowners call VGC

01

They build your vision, not theirs

Clients describe explaining their idea and seeing it brought to life. Bold colors, brass, green tile and dark stone are all on the table if that is what you want.

02

Honest pricing, on budget

One reviewer called the pricing accurate. Another summed up her project in three lines: on time, on budget, vision brought to life.

03

Real carpenters on the job

Reviewers call the crew artists and craftsmen. The same hands that build solid wood furniture build your vanity, shelving and trim, so the details line up.

We are extremely happy with the work and vision provided by Very Good Carpentry. We’ve been planning a bathroom and walk in closet addition and the team worked with us throughout the entire project. We went from a blank slate to the bathroom of our dreams. It is rare finding a craftsman who you can trust, provides accurate pricing and delivers such quality work. We are extremely satisfied with the completed project. Thank you VGC!

VGC hooked me up, y’all!! I explained my vision to Josh and Matt for my small primary bathroom and these guys brought it to life in the most amazing way possible.

These guys are Artists AND Craftsmen! Now I have the most amazing bathroom in Lafayette…possibly the world.

Including before pics in here so you get an idea of the real transformation. As you can see, there was barely enough room in there to take pictures of it.

On time. On budget. My vision brought to life!

Josh and his crew renovated our bathroom at the beginning of the year.

Switched out the nasty jetted tub to a jet less soaker, replaced the plastic wrap around “tile” tub backsplash piece with real tiles all the way from tub to ceiling, replaced fixtures, vanity, ceiling light/fan combo and added recessed led lighting above the vanity and along that wall.

We love it!

VCG made our dream bathroom a reality

Quality work, quality guys

(Blue bathroom pics are from a 2018 “facelift” to keep us happy till the real deal )
