We remodel hall baths, primary baths and powder rooms for homeowners in Paramus and the towns around it. Some people want a fresh look. Others want to fix an old layout, a worn out tub or a cramped vanity.
If you only want to change the bathing area, see our tub to shower conversion and shower remodel pages, or look at walk-in showers. For price ranges, see our bathroom remodel cost guide.
What a Full Bathroom Remodel Includes
A full remodel usually takes the room down to the studs, or close to it. We remove the old tub or shower, vanity, toilet, flooring and wall tile. Then we check the subfloor and walls for water damage, fix what we find, and rebuild. Most projects include new floor tile, a new tub or shower, a vanity and top, a toilet, a mirror, lighting and an exhaust fan. You choose the finishes and we handle the work. We keep you posted at each step, from demo day to the final walkthrough, so you always know what comes next.
Small Bathrooms and 5x7 Hall Baths
Many homes in the area have a standard 5x7 hall bath. A small room still needs every trade: plumbing, electrical, tile and carpentry. The good news is that a small room uses less material. HomeGuide lists a 5x7 bathroom remodel at $4,200 to $9,600 nationally. Smart choices can make a small bath feel bigger. A floating vanity shows more floor. A glass panel in place of a curtain opens up the room. Large tiles mean fewer grout lines to clean. We can walk you through options that fit your space and your budget.
Keep the Layout or Change It
Keeping your toilet, sink and tub where they are now is the simplest way to control cost. Moving a drain or a water line adds plumbing work, and it can change what permits you need. Under New Jersey's construction code, swapping a fixture for a similar one with no change in the piping counts as ordinary maintenance. New fixtures, new piping and new outlets count as minor work, and minor work needs a permit. We tell you which parts of your plan need a permit before any work starts, so the schedule and the price are clear.
Fixing the Problems You Cannot See
Older bathrooms can hide trouble behind the tile. Leaks around a tub, soft spots in the floor and mold behind a wall often show up once demo starts. HomeGuide notes that water damage or mold has to be fixed before new work goes in, and that older plumbing may need updates to meet code. Plumbing work alone often runs $400 to $2,000. We look for warning signs at the first visit and tell you up front if something could change the price. That way there are fewer surprises once the walls are open.
