About 5–6 weeks
Bath liners vs. a real remodel
Are acrylic liners and one-day baths worth it? Here's the honest answer.
Liner and one-day bath systems are fast, and they look clean on install day. But they go over your old tub and walls — so whatever is behind them stays there. That's why we rebuild instead.
| Liner or one-day bath system | Bathroom remodel with The Home Authority, Inc. | |
|---|---|---|
| Your old tub & walls | Stay in place; new acrylic panels go over the top | Removed down to the studs so we can see what's there |
| Hidden damage | Leaks, mold or soft subfloor stay covered up | Found and fixed before anything new goes in |
| Waterproofing | Depends on the old walls and the seal between layers | A new waterproofing system behind every tiled surface |
| Plumbing & valve | Usually left as is | Updated, with a new shower valve sized to your fixtures |
| Layout & size | Limited to your existing tub or shower footprint | Move it, enlarge it, or go curbless — your choice |
| Design choices | A set catalog of panel colors and patterns | Any tile, niche, bench, glass and fixture, designed with Studio A |
| Aging in place | Grab bars added after the fact | Blocking, low or curbless entry and seating built in from the start |
When a liner can make sense
If you're selling soon or updating a rental, and the tub and walls are solid with no leaks or soft spots, a liner can be a reasonable short-term update.
When it's time to rebuild
If you're staying, the bathroom is 20+ years old, or you've noticed soft floors, loose tile, musty smells or peeling paint, a remodel fixes the cause — not just the surface.
Behind the walls
The parts of your bathroom you'll never see — done right.
Most Fargo-Moorhead whole-home projects combine several of these. We design them together so layout, flooring, lighting and finishes carry from room to room.
Down-to-the-studs demo
Old tile, tub and drywall come out so nothing is hiding behind your new bathroom.
Waterproofing system
A continuous waterproof layer behind tile and under shower floors — the part that actually keeps water out.
Ventilation sized right
A quiet exhaust fan vented outside, not into the attic, to clear steam before it turns into frost or mold in a Fargo winter.
Plumbing & shower valve
Supply lines, drains and valves updated while the walls are open — the only time it's easy to do.
Subfloor & framing
Soft or water-damaged subfloor replaced and framing squared so tile stays flat and grout doesn't crack.
Heated floors (optional)
Electric in-floor heat under tile — the most-requested upgrade from homeowners who've lived through a North Dakota January.
Aging-in-place bathrooms
Beautiful today. Ready for whatever comes later.
You don't need a bathroom that looks like a hospital to have one that's safer. Most aging-in-place features are invisible or simply look like good design — and they're far easier to build in now than to add later.

Low or curbless shower entry
Step in without lifting your feet. Looks clean and modern at any age.
Built-in shower bench
A spot to sit, shave legs or set things down — designed in, not bolted on.
Blocking for future grab bars
Hidden wood backing in the walls, so bars can be added anytime without tearing out tile.
Handheld shower on a slide bar
Easier for rinsing, cleaning, bathing kids or pets — and for seated showers later.
Comfort-height toilet & vanity
A few extra inches that make a real difference for knees and backs.
Slip-resistant tile
Smaller floor tile and textured finishes that grip when wet.
Wider doorway & clear floor space
Room to move with a walker or wheelchair if you ever need it.
Layered, glare-free lighting
Bright task lighting at the mirror and a soft night light for 2 a.m. trips.

Bathroom remodel cost
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Fargo-Moorhead?

|---|---|

| Shower or tub choice | Tile showers, curbless entries, glass and freestanding tubs each change the scope. |
| What's behind the walls | Older Fargo-Moorhead homes may need plumbing, venting or subfloor repairs. |

Questions Fargo-Moorhead homeowners ask before remodeling their bathroom
Have one we didn't answer? Ask it at your free consult.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Fargo-Moorhead?
Bathroom remodel cost in Fargo-Moorhead depends on the size of the room, layout and plumbing changes, the shower or tub you choose and your finishes. The Home Authority, Inc. gives you an honest budget range on a free 15-minute call, then one fixed price once your design is complete. The price you sign is the price you pay.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Most bathroom remodels by The Home Authority, Inc. are finished in under 6 weeks of construction. Tub-to-shower conversions are often faster. Design and selections happen before construction starts, and you get a schedule with start and completion dates.
Are bath liners or one-day bath systems worth it?
Acrylic liners and one-day systems install over your existing tub and walls, so any leaks, mold or damaged subfloor behind them stay in place. They can work as a short-term update for a rental or a home you are selling soon. If you plan to stay, a remodel that rebuilds the waterproofing, ventilation and plumbing is the longer-lasting fix.
Can you convert my tub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. The Home Authority, Inc. removes the old tub and surround, updates the plumbing and builds a new waterproofed tile shower, with options for a bench, niche, glass door and low or curbless entry.
Should I keep a bathtub for resale?
Many homeowners keep at least one tub in the house, often in a hall or kids' bathroom, and convert the primary bathroom tub to a larger walk-in shower. We'll talk through what makes sense for your home at your consult.
What is an aging-in-place bathroom?
An aging-in-place bathroom is designed to stay safe and easy to use as you get older. Common features include a low or curbless shower entry, a built-in bench, blocking for grab bars, a handheld shower, comfort-height toilet and vanity, and slip-resistant tile. Most of them simply look like good design.
Can I use my bathroom during the remodel?
The bathroom being remodeled is out of service during construction. If it is your only bathroom, tell us early and we will plan the schedule and temporary options with you before demo day.
Is interior design included?
Yes. Every bathroom remodel by The Home Authority, Inc. includes interior design from Studio A, including layout planning, 3D renderings and help choosing tile, fixtures and lighting.
Can you add heated floors to my bathroom?
Yes. Electric in-floor heat can be installed under new tile during a bathroom remodel, and it is one of the most popular upgrades in Fargo-Moorhead.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
