A Green bathroom rebuilt behind the tile, then finished on it.
Full bathroom remodels for Green homes: waterproofed tile showers, vanities, layout changes, and tub-to-shower conversions run by the two owners of Stark Elite Home Solutions.
Builder-grade baths age out. What replaces them should not.
Bathroom remodeling in Green runs the full range: a hall bath refresh, a tub-to-shower conversion, or a complete primary suite with a custom tile shower, a freestanding tub, and a double vanity. Stark Elite Home Solutions builds all of it, and Cody and Brian, the two owners, run the work themselves rather than subbing it out to whoever is available that week.
Green’s bathrooms have a particular story. Most of the city’s housing went up in the subdivision booms of the 1990s and 2000s, and those builder-grade baths are now hitting the twenty-five to thirty year mark together: fiberglass tub surrounds gone dull and flexing, cultured marble tops, oak vanities, and exhaust fans that were undersized the day they were installed. The families in Prestwick Crossing and Greenfield Lakes are all reaching the same decision at roughly the same time, and it shows in what we get called to.
On price, we keep it simple: we measure the room, walk the selections with you, and put a fixed written scope on paper before demo. What moves the number is the size of the room, whether the layout changes, and the tile and fixture choices, and you see all of it in writing first. The number you approve holds unless you change the plan.
Brian’s background is high-end tile and commercial hard-surface work, and bathrooms are where it shows most. Every shower we build gets a full waterproofing system behind the tile, a correctly sloped pan, and niches and curbs sealed so water goes where it should. That layer disappears the day the tile goes on, and it is the single thing that decides whether the bathroom is still sound in ten years.
Opening up a twenty-five year old bath usually tells the truth about it: soft subfloor at the tub, a shutoff that never quite closed, caulk carrying more load than it should. We find what we can in the walkthrough and price it honestly into the scope, and if something genuinely unexpected turns up behind the wall, you get options and a number before we build over it.
A lot of Green homeowners also use the remodel to plan ahead: a low-curb or curbless walk-in instead of the tub, a built-in bench, grab-bar blocking behind the tile, and a comfort-height vanity. Done right, none of it reads as medical. It reads as a well-built bathroom that happens to work for every decade you own the house.
And on every job, you deal with the same two people start to finish. The person who quoted your Green bathroom is the person waterproofing the shower and the person walking the punch list with you at the end. That is why most of our work comes from neighbors of people we have already built for.

Green’s bathrooms were mostly built in the same two decades, which means a whole city of builder-grade baths is aging out at once.
Drive the neighborhoods off Massillon Road and Arlington Road and the pattern repeats house after house: a 1990s or 2000s build with its original hall bath and primary bath, fiberglass surrounds, cultured marble tops, and oak vanities. Those bathrooms were fine for their day. Twenty-five years on, the surrounds flex underfoot in the tub, the fans have never quite cleared a mirror, and the finishes date the whole house more than any other room in it.
That is why the two most common calls we get from Green are the primary-suite upgrade and the tub-to-shower conversion. The first replaces the builder bath with a large waterproofed tile shower, a freestanding tub where the room allows it, a double vanity, and lighting that actually works for the morning routine. The second trades the never-used builder tub for a low-curb or curbless walk-in, very often with an eye toward staying comfortably in the house for the long term.
Both projects live or die on the waterproofing. Every shower we build in Green gets a full system behind the tile, a pan sloped to drain completely, and sealed niches, benches, and curbs. A shower that skips that looks perfect on day one and rots the wall behind it by year three, and it is the most common failure we get called in to tear out and rebuild.
Plumbing and electrical permits for Green run through Summit County Building Standards, and we pull them and handle the inspections as part of the job. Our Massillon shop sits twenty to thirty minutes from most Green driveways, whether you are near Boettler Park or out toward the Arlington Road side of the city, which keeps scheduling tight, measures quick, and follow-ups easy to fit around a family’s week.
Same standard as every job: a fixed written scope, the two owners running the work, and a bathroom built to outlast the one it replaced. The gallery shows recent tile and shower work, and a call gets you a consult with no deposit and no pressure.
The same workflow on every Green job.
In-home consult
We measure your Green bathroom, talk through what is not working, and lay out shower, vanity, tile, and layout options against a real budget. No deposit to get a scope.
Fixed written scope
Shower system, tile, vanity and top, fixtures, exhaust, lighting, and the schedule all go on paper before demo. The price holds unless you change the plan, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Demo & repairs
Controlled demo with the rest of the home protected. Any soft subfloor, failed plumbing, or wiring found behind the old surfaces gets repaired and shown to you before we build back over it.
Waterproofing & pan
The step that decides everything. Full waterproofing system behind the tile, a correctly sloped shower pan, and sealed niches and curbs. We build it to last, not to pass a quick glance.
Tile & fixtures
Tile set to clean, deliberate lines, then the vanity, top, fixtures, and lighting installed and dialed in. Grout and caulk lines finished by hand so the bathroom reads sharp up close.
Walkthrough & punch list
We walk the finished bathroom with you, build the punch list on the spot, and close every item before final payment. Cleanup and haul-off are part of the job.
