Did you know that over the course of a lifetime, most people spend at least one and a half years, on average, in the bathroom? So isn’t it fair to dress it up with the best of luxe? A well-designed bath- room can create a calming, luxurious experience to find peace and a chance to settle your mind.

Exquisite finishing touches, such as fixtures, tile choices and a sleek glass shower add an essence of opulence to any bathroom. With his and hers shower heads, body jets and sprays accompanied by individual digital control pan- els, these luxuries are so posh, you’ll never want to get out. But when you do, there is nothing more comforting than the touch of a toasty towel after stepping out of your steam shower.

This is exactly the experience Paul and Michelle Economakos had in mind when it came time to renovate their bathroom, nestled in the lower level of their Broomfield home of 35 years. They wanted to elevate the master bath to be a retreat where they could unwind and relax after a long day. “While Paul dreamt of a steam shower, I wanted to escape to the beach,” Michelle shares.

Paul is an accomplished master builder, but after the physical toll the upstairs renovation took on him, he decided to enlist the help of his apprentice, Jarred Thompson, owner of J & P Builds, to make their bathroom oasis dreams come true.

Early in his woodworking career, Paul took Jarred under his wing to show him exactly what quality workmanship looked like so he could pass down the same high standard of work.

Eventually, Jarred took over the family owned business, J & P Services, and has kept the caliber of work he came to value, with goals to expand to Arizona by 2025.

With confidence in Jarred, Michelle praised the work and added, “The bathroom turned out better than we could have hoped.”

“It was truly an honor to help with this remodel project. Paul has always been a great mentor and inspiration to me. The values he instilled in me are values I hold dearly. I lean on his example to guide every single proj- ect, and I intend to carry on that leg- acy as long as I possibly can.”

J & P Services is a trusted local contractor dedicated to helping Coloradans build their dreams.
