Bathroom Remodeling for OBX Vacation Homes and Currituck County Residents
A licensed general contractor who handles the full scope — tile, fixtures, plumbing, and everything in between — timed around your rental calendar so you never lose a booking.
The best time to remodel a vacation home bathroom is when nobody's staying in it. Ohana schedules bathroom remodels during the fall and winter off-season, so your property is updated, photographed, and listed before peak rental season begins. By the time your first summer guests arrive, the work is done and the bathroom is earning.
We serve vacation and second-home owners across the Outer Banks — from Corolla to Nags Head — as well as year-round homeowners throughout Currituck County, including Moyock, Barco, and Grandy.
One Contractor for the Whole Job
Most plumbers stop at the pipes. Most handymen can't touch the plumbing. Ohana holds both a plumbing tradesman license and a general contractor's license, which means we manage the full bathroom remodel under a single scope — tile work, fixture installation, shower and tub upgrades, plumbing rough-in and finish, and whatever else the project calls for.
You deal with Patrick directly, from the first walkthrough to the final punch list. No subcontractor handoffs, no coordination gaps, no wondering who's responsible for what.

Materials Spec'd for the Coast, Not Just the Catalog
A beach house bathroom takes a beating. Salt air, humidity, heavy rental turnover, and guests who aren't treating it like their own home — standard residential materials don't hold up to that combination. We spec every OBX bathroom remodel with coastal conditions as the baseline: mold-resistant backer board, moisture-tolerant finishes, and corrosion-resistant fixtures that won't fail after two seasons of salt air exposure.
This isn't a specialty add-on — it's how we approach every project on the barrier islands. We've been working on OBX construction since 2018 and understand what holds up and what doesn't.
Remodel in the Off-Season. Rent It All Summer.
Taking a bathroom out of service during peak rental season means lost bookings and unhappy guests. The solution is simple: schedule the remodel in the fall or winter, when the property is sitting idle anyway, and have it done before your spring reservations begin.
Ohana plans off-season remodels specifically around rental calendars. We set a realistic timeline at the start, we stick to it, and we hand the property back to you ready to list — not with a punch list still outstanding.
If you're planning a spring-ready renovation for your Corolla, Duck, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, or Nags Head property, the time to schedule is now.
Bathroom Remodeling Questions, Answered
Can you remodel the full bathroom, or just the plumbing?
We handle the full scope. Ohana holds a general contractor's license in addition to a plumbing tradesman license, so we manage tile, fixtures, shower and tub work, and plumbing under one contract. You don't need to hire separate trades.How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Most bathroom remodels run one to three weeks depending on scope. A cosmetic update — tile, fixtures, vanity — is typically faster. A full gut-and-rebuild takes longer, especially if we find moisture damage or structural issues behind the walls. We give you a realistic timeline before work starts and communicate any changes as they come up.What materials do you recommend for a coastal vacation home bathroom?
For OBX properties, we prioritize mold-resistant substrates, porcelain or stone tile over materials that absorb moisture, and fixtures with corrosion-resistant finishes. We'll walk you through specific options during the estimate — the goal is a bathroom that looks good on day one and holds up through years of rental use.Can you work around my rental calendar?
Yes. We schedule off-season remodels specifically to avoid peak rental periods. If you give us your booking calendar, we'll plan the project so the bathroom is back in service before your first spring guests arrive.Do you serve both Currituck County and the Outer Banks?
