Our Story
Building Beyond the Ordinary
Fifth Element Construction LLC is a construction and home remodeling company based on a philosophy of a profound connection between the foundational elements of nature and humanity’s innate ability to create. The company’s founders conceived of the vision for the company with a deep appreciation for both the raw power of the natural world and the intricate artistry of human design.
They believed that true construction was not merely about erecting walls or laying foundations, but about harmonizing with the environment, drawing inspiration from the very fabric of existence. This belief led to the company’s name, representing the classical four elements—earth, air, fire, and water—united with a fifth, ethereal element: the human spirit of creativity and craftsmanship.
Since its inception, Fifth Element Construction LLC has set out to redefine the standard for home building. Their projects are living spaces meticulously crafted to resonate with their occupants, providing a sense of tranquility, functionality, and aesthetic delight.
Our Process
Honest, simple, and built to last. Here’s how every Fifth Element project works.
1. Free Quote
Send us photos or schedule a quick in-home assessment. We'll give you an accurate quote within 24 hours — no obligation, no high-pressure sales.
2. Surface Preparation
We mask off your bathroom or kitchen, deep-clean the surface, and apply chemical bonding agents that create a permanent connection between the original surface and the new finish.
3. Professional Application
Industrial-grade coatings applied with HVLP spray systems — the same technology used in factory finishing. This is what separates professional reglazing from DIY paint kits.
4. Cure Time
24 hours to full cure. Use your bathroom or kitchen the very next day.
5. 10–15 Year Lifespan
With proper care, your refinished surface looks factory-fresh for over a decade.

The Five Elements of Quality Reglazing
Our name reflects how we approach every project — four foundational elements, plus the fifth that makes the difference.
Earth
Strong Foundations
Every reglazing job starts with meticulous surface preparation. No shortcuts. The bond between the old surface and the new finish is only as strong as the prep work underneath.
Fire
Passion for the Craft
Reglazing is a precision trade. We treat every bathtub like it’s the only one we’re doing this month — because for our customer, it is.
Air
A Clean, Considered Process
Professional ventilation, low-odor coatings, and meticulous cleanup. Your home stays livable while we work.
Water
Adaptable Techniques
Every tub, tile, and countertop is different. Cast iron, fiberglass, porcelain, ceramic — we tailor the process to the surface.

The Craftsman
The difference between a good reglaze and a great one is the human doing the work. We bring the patience, pride, and attention to detail that no machine or shortcut can replicate.
