I was at an inspection today with Sal D'Onofrio, who's a
contractor when he's not doing inspections (state law creates a bright
line between the two businesses). He, who I'd trust with my life, is
now an authorized installer for BathSimple. I think I
wrote a blurb on this ''bathroom in a box'' concept a year or so ago--
He said he loves doing these baths because absolutely all the pieces
are in the box, clients prefer not to have to pick out every single
cabinet pull (I remember when I didn't know the difference between a
pull and a knob), the quality is very high (Grohe, Duravit, etc.), and
the process is very clean (meaning no changing of minds,
miscommunication among architect/contractor/client, etc.). Check it
out--they are Bay Area based, and Sal says they work well with older
homes with non-plumb walls.
Update--I went out with CEO John Crowley this week to see three baths they've installed--one up in a traditional home in Kensington, and two in a mid-century modern home in Berkeley. Owners were there in both cases and raved about the process. And Paul Cerami and Canyon Builders, two other contractors I know and love, are also certified installers for BathSimple. I'm ready to invest, actually.
