    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.

    What the Homeowner Wanted

    • Modern, spa-style master bath — no more 1990s cream tile with floral borders
    • Remove the peach jetted corner tub and replace it with a real walk-in shower
    • Bright, functional vanity area with dual LED-backlit mirrors
    • Marble tile and quartz counters throughout
    • Better layout — open up the pass-through hallway feel
    • One contractor she trusted, from demo to final walkthrough
