        "text": "A small bathroom usually needs a ventilation strategy that removes moisture effectively, not simply a larger-looking fan grille. Poor moisture control can contribute to peeling finishes, odors, and long-term damage, especially when shower spray reaches walls and ceilings.\n\nElite Remodeling & Design reviews bathroom conditions as part of the design and construction plan, including electrical and related work when needed. The right approach depends on the existing fan, duct route, exterior termination, room use, and whether the ceiling or walls are opened.\n\nKey factors:\n- Existing fan performance and condition\n- Duct routing and termination\n- Switch or timer arrangement\n- Waterproofing and caulking maintenance\n\nTell the designer about condensation, mildew, lingering odors, or a fan that vents poorly. Confirm how penetrations and wet-area transitions will be sealed before finishes are installed.",

        "description": "Address ventilation, waterproofing, sealed wet-area transitions, and routine caulking—not just paint or tile. Report condensation, mildew, odors, and poor fan performance during design so ducting, electrical work, wall openings, and moisture-resistant details can be planned together."
