Quality Construction and Remodeling Services in Ashburn

There is a bathroom in a great many Ashburn houses that everyone recognises. A large primary bath, a double vanity, a corner garden tub with a deck around it, and a shower that got whatever space was left over.

It was a reasonable plan when these homes were built. Tubs signalled luxury, and the plan books across Ashburn Village, Ashburn Farm, Broadlands, and Brambleton reflected that. Twenty years later the tub is a shelf for towels and the shower is the room’s only real function, squeezed into a corner it was never meant to own.

Reclaiming that footprint is the most common bathroom project we do in Ashburn, and it is a genuinely good one. The space is already there. The plumbing is broadly in the right neighbourhood. What changes is the allocation, usually into a large shower with a proper bench and a niche that was designed rather than located, and often a freestanding tub for the households that do still want one.

The part that decides whether this lasts is invisible. Waterproofing behind tile, a pan sloped so water leaves rather than lingers, blocking where fixtures mount, and ventilation actually sized for the room. Ashburn houses are well framed, so the substrate work is predictable, which is exactly why there is no excuse for skipping it.

Secondary baths in Ashburn houses want the opposite conversation. They are logistics. Two or three people on the same schedule, durability over drama, and easy to clean at eight in the morning on a school day.

Secondary baths in Ashburn houses want the opposite conversation. They are logistics: two or three people on the same schedule, durability over drama, and a room that cleans easily at eight in the morning on a school day. Same standard of work behind the tile, genuinely different set of decisions in front of it.

Our History in Ashburn

Ashburn’s bathrooms are unusually consistent, and that is a direct result of how the place was built. Where an older Loudoun County town accumulated its housing across two centuries, Ashburn arrived in planned phases inside a few decades, so a very large number of homes share a small number of underlying plans.

Ashburn Village and Ashburn Farm set the early pattern. Broadlands and Brambleton followed at greater scale, and Belmont Country Club at another level again. The result is a community where the primary bath in one house is recognisably a cousin of the primary bath three neighbourhoods over, built in the same window to the same prevailing idea of what a good bathroom contained.

That consistency is an advantage. We have opened enough of these walls to know what is generally behind them, which means fewer discoveries, more accurate scoping, and a schedule that holds. It also means the failure modes are shared. The undersized shower, the unused garden tub, the vanity height set to a standard that predates most people’s preferences, and ventilation that was specified to satisfy a requirement rather than to keep a ceiling dry.

We had 2 bathrooms redone by Foley Construction. 1st bathroom was hall bathroom. Complete gut. Everything from start to finish was perfect. In hall bath took pictures before Mirror and cabinet above tiller was installed. Next was our Masterbath. We did a complete gut and a total reconfiguration. Worked together to come up with an amazing bathroom. Shower doors for Masterbath had to be special ordered. So pictures reflect before doors being installed. Communication daily from the supervisor of the project. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

They did a great job renovating a kitchen and bathroom. They pay attention to detail and are very responsive. We liked their work, so we had them tackle a much bigger job for us--building a barn. The job was challenging because the access was limited. They fixed the access problem and designed and built a quality barn that meets our needs--and it looks great too!

I was very happy with the work of Foley Construction and Contracting. Shawn Foley was very responsive and professional. He managed the necessary contractors to complete a feature wall in living room which included installing reclaimed wood, lighting fixtures, moving of electrical outlets and cabinet installation. The work was excellent, on-time and looks phenomenal.

My family used Foley Construction for a home remodel in 2021- garage conversion, kitchen & bathroom remodel, windows & more. They were attentive and supportive to our needs & budget. From design stages through completion we were fully informed throughout the process. Time lines & costs lined up as promised. High quality workers and attention to detail yielded beautiful results. I have been so pleased, I do not hesitate to recommend them to my friends.

Shawn and his team were great to work with. His team worked with me on a second floor renovation to my 100 year old house. New roof and added dormers. The online platform was extremely helpful, received daily updates with who was on-site with pictures of the work (very helpful because I would usually only be able to check at night). Project management per task, emails, invoicing, and messaging on the platform. Very slick interface was not expecting when working with a contractor. Extremely knowledgeable team and would give honest insight when some things I thought I wanted weren't worth it even though it would have netted them more profit. Honest and reliable, always available whenever I had any changes or ideas. Great to work with, 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to do any type of home renovation (which is saying something with a century old house) and in this current market where getting anyone is hard to come by. So happy I found Shawn and his team!

Foley Construction finished a portion of our unfinished basement and converted it into a home gym space. The project consisted of building walls, insulation, electric, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, painting, crown molding, customer cabinetry and custom mirrors for the walls. The project was planned and executed as expected. His Project Managment Software Tool allowed us to select design options and make milestone payments upon completion. His team was very respectful, on time and highly professional. It was a fully turnkey solution aside from allowing us to pick recommended colors and design options. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire them for future projects.

Frequently Asked Questions - Ashburn Remodeling

Can you replace the garden tub with a bigger shower?

Yes, and it is the single most common bathroom project we do in Ashburn. The footprint already exists and the plumbing is usually close to where it needs to be, so the work is about reallocating space you are already paying to heat. Some households want a freestanding tub kept in the room, and there is often space for both.

How long will our bathroom be out of service?

It depends on scope and on whether fixtures move, and we give you a real number before we start rather than an optimistic one. If it is your only full bath, tell us at the outset. That constraint changes how we sequence the work and it belongs in the plan from day one.

What makes a bathroom actually last?

The parts nobody sees. Waterproofing behind the tile, a shower pan that drains properly, blocking where fixtures mount, and ventilation sized for the room rather than for the code minimum. Finishes are what you choose. Substrate is what decides whether you are doing this again in eight years.

Do you do secondary bathrooms too?

Yes, and we scope them differently on purpose. A secondary bath is built for traffic, durability, and easy cleaning. A primary suite is built around how the room feels to the people using it every morning. Same standard of work, different design conversation.
