Who We Are | Your Trusted Bathroom Remodeling Contractors in Central Oregon
Your home deserves Better: Better materials, Better service, and a Better experience from start to finish.
BetterBath was founded on a simple belief: homeowners deserve more than “good enough.” After years of working alongside national remodeling companies, we saw firsthand how the industry often put profits over people — sacrificing quality, transparency, and trust just to move the next product.
We knew there had to be a better way. That’s why we started BetterBath: to bring a local, independent, and customer-first approach to bathroom remodeling in Central Oregon. No high-pressure sales. No cutting corners. Just honest communication, premium materials, and craftsmanship that respects your home and your time.
Because a bathroom remodel isn’t a light decision — it’s an investment that touches your daily life. And you deserve a partner who treats it that way.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our Mission: Do Better. Build Better. Be Better.
At BetterBath, we believe bathroom remodels shouldn’t drag on, cost a fortune, or feel like a sales trap. Our mission is simple: to deliver a remodeling experience built on quality, respect, transparency, and speed.
Inspired by the principle of Kaizen—continuous improvement—we’ve built our culture around the idea of “Do Better.” That means always striving for better craftsmanship, better pricing, and a better customer experience.
We are a licensed, bonded, and insured team with more than three decades of combined experience. But more importantly, we’re people who care. We guide, we listen, and we deliver—not with ego, but with confidence that comes from doing things the right way.
BetterBath isn’t about cutting corners or chasing trends. It’s about creating bathrooms that last, built with premium materials, clear communication, and respect for the investment you’re making in your home.
