i try my best to. even if it takes a little longer i like to leave the job with 110% satisfaction rating for both me and my clients. TBH contracting for me has been more customer service than work and that has done me pretty well.
They are just rare. Not gonna lie. I only need help sometimes on plumbing and electrical but the only reason I don't do everything myself is because it's too exhausting. I'd burn out. I dream of a partner/hire like Wolkon has.
I have no skills at construction but I love knowing how things are torn down and rebuilt. Your videos are always interesting and informative, thanks for posting! :)
Love your videos, watch every one. It's awesome how you talk us through each step to help educate us DIY rookies and love how you and Sebastian work together. Looking forward to the next project!
The quality of your work just gets better and better and now even faster than before. This bathroom is absolutely gorgeous. Btw, I still think you are well underpriced, but I can tell you love what you do so it's a win win situation. Subscribe and hit that like button guys, lets go!!!
Thanks Jason! Yes it’s really satisfying being able to provide a better product in a shorter timeframe. I’ll address the pricing in a future video where hopefully it will make more sense then
@@WorkinwithWolkon Yes he probably could charge more for his speed and quality. But he's still making a good wage at these prices. Even If he pays his helper a high hourly wage $37.5 thats $300 CAD/Day, leaving $1000/day labour for himself. Thats 20k plus a month and probably a little more if hes marking up materials 10-15% as he should as contractor. Am I close?
Thank you for including the glass installation! It was neat watching them install the glass enclosure. Once again, another superb bathroom renovation that took a bland, cramped bathroom stuck in the 1990s to the 21st Century with open concept, luxurious feel. I am a huge fan of curbless shower design. If I could do my master bathroom renovation all over again, I would definitely seek out contractor who knows how to do curbless shower. I may have to get them to build a pony wall to hide the faucet so that it is hidden from view but within reach without getting wet from the showerhead.
Just discovered your channel. Really informative and fun to watch. For someone that’s been doing this for only 8 months, you’re very impressive! And you must be impressing others to have 180k+ subscribers. I look forward to all your future vids.
Really interesting - just finished the upstairs ensuite now about to start with the downstairs bath - learnt a lot from your videos, enough to know to let the professionals deal with it all - especially as they are installing curbless, walk-in showers with details for handicap use. Glad you are doing super well.
I quit construction a short time ago to work for family business. Sometimes maybe in the middle of my daytime shift, or lying in bed and about to get to sleep, I miss doing those crafty things so much. But to think about it, there's times that I don't really want to show up for that because you know there's some nice day and there's some rough day when it comes to construction. So by watching Wolkon's videos really solve my problem of laziness but still wanna get more experience (sometimes it's really nice to bake up a joint and watch his videos and imagine things). Thanks again for such delication of your work and your videos also. Love you brother!
Again, another amazing video with lots of great information about how it is done and what you are doing. I really love these videos and look forward to them every time!
Just finished a bathroom and I have been all over your videos for examples. Sadly I didnt get to do the curbless shower but did get a very cool look. This video is helping me with the glass install that I have yet to do.
got to the end of the video and saw the installers drill through your lovely work. You were obviously okay with it, but I would start crying if it was me
Congratulations, you a truly inspiration, congratulations....watching your videos are the best way for me to learn more about renovations, I will be taking a 14 weeks home renovations training very soon,
Very nice finish. Have you considered an enclosure free design. Take current one and use linear drain on back wall with entire floor sloped (along that wall even under fixture on right) 5' drain on left from corner . No compound tile cuts . Sloped tray from Schulter (with extension). No glass expense. (No install cost.
Fantastic Video! One issue I have is the curbless showers appear to have a greater risk of flooding. When the drain backs up (and it will), and water will be accumulating on your both shower floor and total bathroom floor (under the gasketed door). As there is no drain in the bathroom floor - it poses more risk more water damage on the ceilings etc.. of the floors below.
Another fantastic video and breakdown. Would love to see you install a shower/wall panel bathroom and see the difference in aesthetics and also the labour and installation difference. In the UK we are seeing more and more shower/wall panel and acrylic panel installs.
Thanks! I personally have no interest in installing acrylic panels as I find them to be sad and lifeless but that’s just my preference. I would however be interested in trying something like wet wall out (a faux tile slab system)
Yeah that’s what I was referring to with wet wall I think they’re great budget products but I haven’t seen one in person where I thought it was comparable to an actual tiled wall imo
If I ever come up with the $ to get mine remodeled, I’d go far as begging you to come to Michigan! 😂 No worries, probably never happen. Anyway I enjoy your channel as you guys are extremely knowledgeable and solid hard workers!
Can you please tell me what tile (mfg/model/color etc) you used on this project? This is exactly the look that I am interested in. Beautiful job and finished product. Excellent step-by-step video of all work completed.
Very nice. I need to see a comparison between how the air flows with the extractor fan just outside the shower or directly inside the shower. The way I see it, with the fan just outside the shower, you're hoping it will remove the excess steam by pulling air out of the shower space through that gap above the door, and that means an equal amount of air has to enter lower down, through the tiny gaps under and beside the door. That sounds like if it works it's going to create a cold draught, and if you've got it closed up too tight for draughts, the extractor isn't going to be able to pull the steam from the shower. I reckon if the extractor fan were inside the shower, it would be pulling air in through that big gap over the door, and that air would sweep up the steam that rises to under the ceiling and take it out through the extractor without creating draughts lower down. I'm not a fluid dynamics engineer, so I need to see if this is how it works in practice.
Incredible work and lots of great tips here! I've watched lots of your videos, but haven't seen yet--do any of them install a renovation curbless shower on a slab? That's the situation I'm in and want to see more of the concrete grinding down process.
I love the attention to detail and your thorough narration of the process. I am looking to have a small physical reno in my bathroom. No relocation of plumbing. I have an entry door, toilet room door, and shower door all within the same space. I'd love to take out the useless bathtub. What is your opinion on a primary bathroom without a tub? Also, would you ever put in a shower door on an angle (to alleviate my 3 door jam issue)?
Really like your tile work! My only thing is, are you achieving proper coverage on your large format tiles? Can you do use tile setters a favor and give us a good ol coverage check!? Thanks man!!
Work looks clean. I'm guessing you have a GC LIC & hold all certs necessary for your area? I agree with curbless looking cleaner. Don't know if I would go as far as to say it's superior. I guarantee that there is one environment that you won't be putting a curbless in. Slab on grade with PT or multifamily with PT. Scope is much easier on stud/plywood substrate raised foundation for curbless installs vs. slab without PT, in my opinion. Take care. KOKO "KEEP ON KEEPEN ON "....
Once again, absolutely beautiful! Sadly, due to some recent events, a bathroom reno is likely unexpectedly in my near future. What are your thoughts on linear drains? I quite like them aesthetically, and it seems like it might be easier to slope the shower pan too!
Thank you! Linear drain pros -look great -no envelope cut needed Cons -more expensive -variation in perimeter height (with a standard drain the perimeter of the pan is the same height throughout) this created additional challenges when tiling -more prone to collecting hair/grime
Absolutely great work as always! You should reconsider working In the US as well! Sebastian does a great drywall finishing work! Still don’t know how he enjoys it 😂!
Cutting down a much larger pre made shower pan will give you less of a pre slope for the water to flow which is not good at all for water drainage, Looks like a very well made shower keep up the hard work.
I really enjoy watching these videos. Do you have one with concrete floor as opposed to the subfloor? I can’t see how I would get the schluter shower pan and rest of the floor to be flash if I wanted to do a curb less shower. Thank you.
Awesome job! My one nitpicking comment would be to ask why not go for a linear drain as it would've made for less cutting of tile to account for the slope - I think🤔?
@@WorkinwithWolkon be like that officially unsubscribed ;). Kidding of course, keep up the great work and your videos are so detailed, I know how much effort must go into this. I would like to do this myself when I retire (luckily I am able to retire early at 55, so I will need something to keep me busy). Can I ask what those mirrors are called/where you get them? This has to be the most underrated RUclips channel, and to think it only gets better from here.
I live in south Florida too and was wondering the same.. I have a recessed shower and would need to build the floor up, or could I just add plywood? I’m assuming no due to moisture
Man these videos are so informative and such excellent work. Do you do work in the United States as well (California)? Great work for sure, the water proofing of that shower was definitely the best system I've ever seen.
Brother when tightening the riobel valve with hand, it’s always recommended to tighten it with a wrench or similar tool just 1/4 inch more than the 🤚. Just want to share what i know !!
By the time you do all that kerdi band and sealing the screws on the kerdi board is it really worth it over just membrane over drywall? Seems like you gain so many extra places for water intrusion using the kerdi board
I have a concrete floor bathroom in a flat like i assume many people do. It has a bath and the waste pipe goes down one side under the bath then into a box along the wall to the waste exit the toilet also plumbs into that box hopefully one day i will see someone installing a shower in a similar setup but i know it wont be curbless
Is there a standard size of mixing valve? As in would that schluter valve flange fit most mixing valves? I have a bathroom to build and there are currently separate hot and cold knobs roughed in. Would it be a better idea longevity wise to swap them out for a centered style valve -one that would fit in that flange hole? Thanks Awesome work like all of your other builds. Great tips too
Saved this video for when I go to DIY my bathroom shortly. Quick question, is the shower wall tile the same as the floor tile? Looked shinier, but wasnt sure if just the video. Are they 2'x2' tiles?
Hey Walton, I just wanted to say your videos are great and gave me the confidence to renovate my second-floor master bathroom. I did run into a surprise right when I first started opening the subfloor. It appears that my floor joists are not joists at all, but instead engineered trusses. While this makes it great for rerouting the plumbing/electrical it left me with the question of how to recess the subfloor. I can't use the traditional method of lowering the floor with 2x4s and attaching the subfloor to that as the trusses don't have enough surface area to attach the 2x4s to. I have looked into lowering brackets (rapid recess, etc), but was hoping I didn't have use as these options are quite pricey. Do you (or anyone for that matter) know the proper way to recess a floor that is built on engineered trusses? Thanks in advance.
@@WorkinwithWolkon Thanks for the reply, and believe me I've searched through all your videos (and the rest of the internet it feels like) to see how people have recessed their subfloor with floor trusses. The video you pointed out appears to have I-joists, so the same installation method would be used on floor trusses?
@@captmcawesome4246 My apologies I misunderstood. Honestly you might just have to use a system like rapid recess. Expensive yes, but at least it will be quicker
Can you convert any bathroom into a curbless shower? I want to remove a tub and make it a full curbless shower, just not sure if there are any restrictions that would keep me from doing this.
Soon I want to renovate my whole bathroom its only a small washroom but there is one problem "wirings" I dont know much about wiring I don't want to get electricuted,,any sugestions?
Thank you! Wood backing is definitely preferred, and is pretty easy to plan out ahead of time especially since we typically have the ceiling over the shower open. Anchors could be used if not though
@@WorkinwithWolkon Makes sense thanks. Can I ask what led you to outsource the glass installation? It seems that you do lots of stuff yourself that's just as hard if not harder.
Does the $1500 for shower glass include labor to install it or is that added on to the $1500. If it’s an add on, what is the total cost for the shower glass?
Wow, someone who actually knows what they’re doing. Nice.
Dude there is absolutely no way that there is a single bathroom contractor out there does everything to the detail that you do. Huge props.
i try my best to. even if it takes a little longer i like to leave the job with 110% satisfaction rating for both me and my clients. TBH contracting for me has been more customer service than work and that has done me pretty well.
