Ted at Ward Winning homes has been our only contractor that we have called back to complete multiple jobs in our home. Our first project was during the pandemic, so I was home all the time. Normally, that would be stressful, but Ted’s organization and overall timeliness with all of our projects made construction less stressful, and it was a prime reason we had him come back after our initial kitchen renovation. Additionally, his attention to detail matters - like when the wood floors had just been stained, he came to review the job, was not satisfied with the workmanship, and had the team re-do it. Quite frankly, that attention and care was very much appreciated by homeowners like us who don’t always know what to look for in a completed job. Ted’s team was always reliable, friendly, never obtrusive. Ted’s organization and attention detail, combined with his reliability makes him the contractor that we make sure to recommend to friends and use for new projects for ourselves as they come up.

How we build bathrooms
Beautiful on the surface. Waterproof underneath.
A bathroom is a room full of water inside the walls of your home. Code allows a shower that works on day one; it doesn't guarantee one that stays dry for twenty years. Nearly every bathroom failure we're called to fix comes from waterproofing, ventilation or a floor that moves. Ward Winning Standards address all three.
Code is the minimum. Building code is the lowest bar a project can clear and still pass inspection. Ward Winning Standards are our written commitment for every bathroom project — what code requires, side by side with what we do.
24-hour flood test
Code calls for a water test of about 15 minutes. We fill every shower and leave it for 24 hours before any tile goes down. If it is going to leak, we find out now — not through your ceiling.
Waterproofing
| Item | Typical code minimum | Ward Winning Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Shower system | Shower pan liner; walls may use backer board alone. | Bonded waterproofing system (Schluter, Laticrete or equal) on the entire shower floor, walls, niches and bench. |
| Flood test | Water test of roughly 15 minutes. | Every shower flood-tested for 24 hours before a single tile is set. |
| Wall board | Water-resistant board allowed. | No greenboard or drywall in wet areas — cement or foam board only. |
| Niches & benches | No specific requirement. | Fully waterproofed and sloped so water never sits. |
Ventilation & Moisture
| Item | Typical code minimum | Ward Winning Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Exhaust fan | 50 cfm fan or an operable window. | Quiet fan sized to the room and ducted outside with insulated duct — never into the attic. |
| Paint | Not regulated. | Moisture- and mildew-resistant, low-VOC paint. |
Structure & Plumbing
| Item | Typical code minimum | Ward Winning Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Floor stiffness | Standard span tables. | Floor stiffened and flattened for tile and stone; uncoupling membrane under all floor tile. |
| Blocking | Not required. | Solid blocking for grab bars in the shower and at the toilet — ready for any stage of life — plus glass, vanity and accessories. |
| Shower valve | Anti-scald valve required. | New pressure-balance or thermostatic valve whenever the wall is open. |
| Supply lines | Not required. | New quarter-turn shutoffs and braided supply lines at the vanity and toilet. |
Electrical & Finishes
| Item | Typical code minimum | Ward Winning Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Circuits | One 20-amp GFCI circuit. | 12-gauge wire on a dedicated 20-amp circuit. |
| Lighting | One light source. | Layered lighting, with vanity light at face height for true color and no shadows. |
| Trim | No restriction. | No MDF in bathrooms. |

Proof, not promises: your Build Record
Every key step of these standards is photographed before it is covered: waterproofing, flood tests, framing, blocking, insulation and rough-ins. At the end of your project you receive your Build Record — the photo log, test results, permits and product specifications for your new space. It is the owner's manual for your home and a real asset when you sell.

Codes vary by municipality and are updated periodically; "typical code minimum" reflects common requirements in our area. Site conditions and product availability vary, and specific items are confirmed for each project in your construction documents.
