Project Case Study
Master Bath Remodel with Dual LED Vanity Mirrors — Metairie, LA
Repeat customer in Metairie wanted her dated master bathroom brought into a modern, spa-style layout — jetted corner tub out, big frameless walk-in shower in, plus dual LED-backlit vanity mirrors, marble tile, and quartz counters.
Project Details
- Location: Metairie, Jefferson Parish, LA
- Client: Repeat homeowner customer
- Scope: Full master bathroom gut remodel
- Highlights: Dual LED mirrors, walk-in shower, marble tile
- Process: Demo, rough-in, tile, glass, finish
Project Background
A repeat homeowner customer in Metairie had lived with the same 1990s master bathroom for years — cream tile with a floral border, a peach jetted corner tub, laminate vanity top, and a small dated glass shower stall. She wanted the whole room modernized, and specifically asked to swap the jetted tub for a large walk-in shower she could actually use every day.
Because she had worked with Cajun Home Services before, the ask was straightforward: gut the bathroom, open up the awkward pass-through layout, and rebuild it as a clean, modern master with dual LED-backlit vanity mirrors, marble tile, quartz counters, and a frameless glass walk-in shower with a hex-tile floor.
We handled everything from demo and rough-in through tile, glass, and finish — one crew, one point of contact, daily JobTread photo updates for the homeowner.
