Bathroom remodelers in Reading, 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. Many Reading homes are older, so we plan around existing layouts, plumbing, wiring and the character details worth keeping.

In an older Reading bathroom, we check for moisture damage, drain condition and ventilation before you choose finishes. The plan covers the shower waterproofing, any plumbing or electrical changes and repairs found during demolition.
