Bathroom remodelers in Allentown, PA
A bathroom fits plumbing, waterproofing, tile, ventilation and electrical into a small room your household uses every day. We plan the shower, the waterproofing behind the tile, the ventilation and how you will get by during the work before anything starts, then keep you updated through the final walkthrough. From older city homes to newer suburban houses, we plan around your home's age, its layout and how you will live in it during the work.
Planning a bathroom remodel in Allentown
Allentown bathroom remodels range from small upstairs baths in older rowhomes and twins to primary bathrooms in newer houses. We fix the subfloor and old plumbing we find, and build every shower with proper waterproofing behind the tile.

Common questions in Allentown
Do you remodel bathrooms in older Allentown rowhomes and twins?
Yes. Older rowhomes and twins often have small bathrooms, older plumbing and floors that need leveling. We check for those on the first visit so they're in your proposal, not a surprise after demo.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Allentown?
It depends on the work. Moving plumbing or adding electrical usually needs permits from the City of Allentown, while a cosmetic update often doesn't. Your proposal lists which permits apply and who files them.
Do you include waterproofing in Allentown bathroom remodels?
Yes. Waterproofing and moisture control are built into every bathroom we remodel, never an add-on.
How do you prevent surprise costs during bathroom work?
We point out likely problem areas up front, and if something unexpected turns up, you see the options and the cost before any extra work.
