Windows, Bathrooms and Exteriors in La Crescent, MN
La Crescent sits on the Minnesota side of the Mississippi, a short drive across the river from our La Crosse office. For homeowners here, the upgrades that matter most are usually the ones you notice every day: windows that keep out the draft and a bathroom that works the way you want it to.
Firm Foundation Construction is licensed to work in both Wisconsin and Minnesota, and insured, so La Crescent homeowners get the same team and the same care as our customers in La Crosse. Every project begins with a free visit to your home and a clear plan, and you hear from us at every stage of the work. Recent work in town includes a complete shower rebuild, from the drain to the tile, which you can see below.

Homes from the 1960s and 1970s often still have their original bathrooms, with prefab shower units and tubs ready to retire, and windows that have lost their seals. With many owners planning to stay put, safety and ease of use matter as much as looks.

Bathroom remodeler in La Crescent
A La Crescent bathroom recently went from a cramped, outdated prefab shower to a custom-tiled walk-in shower. We removed the prefab unit, installed a new drain assembly in a relocated position, ran all-new waterlines and finished the room with large-format white subway tile, matte black fixtures, a frameless glass enclosure and hex tile on the shower floor. A Schluter waterproofing system protects the shower for the long run, and new flooring ties the space together.
