How much does a bathroom remodel cost?

Bathrooms run a wide range depending on size, tile selection, fixtures, layout changes, plumbing moves, and any repair work behind the walls. Shawn talks through realistic ranges on the walk-through and follows up with a written scope tied to your project.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

A typical full bathroom remodel runs a few weeks of active work once demo starts. Tile detail, custom shower work, and special-order materials can extend it. The schedule is part of the written scope.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel?

Cosmetic swaps usually do not require a permit. Moving plumbing, electrical, ventilation, or walls typically does. Permit needs get checked in planning so there are no surprises.

Can you replace tile and fixtures?

Yes. Tile, shower, tub, vanity, flooring, lighting, fixtures, ventilation, drywall, paint, and trim are all part of the standard scope.

What should I fix before new finishes go in?

Anything behind the walls that has aged out or shown damage — soft floors, old supply or drain lines, weak ventilation, water-damaged drywall, or framing that has rotted near a leak. Covering those things up costs more later than fixing them now.

Bathroom Remodeling in Bergen County, NJ

Augustine Construction Management remodels bathrooms across Bergen County with a practical eye for layout, tile, fixtures, ventilation, drywall, lighting, and finish details. Shawn Augustine helps you figure out what should change, what can stay, and what needs to be handled before the room gets closed back up.

Bathrooms are small rooms with a lot going on behind the walls. Doing it right the first time is cheaper than redoing it later.

Make the bathroom work better

Most bathroom remodels start with the same problems: tile that has aged out, ventilation that never really worked, an awkward layout, damaged drywall around the tub or toilet, worn fixtures, and lighting that does not reach the mirror. Each of those is solvable. Together they are the difference between a room you avoid and a room you actually like using.

What a bathroom remodel can include

Tile, shower, tub, vanity, flooring, drywall, paint, lighting coordination, plumbing coordination, ventilation, trim, and accessories. The smaller the room, the more those finish details show — which is why sequencing and craft matter as much as the spec sheet.

Do not cover up the real problem

It is tempting to put new finishes over old problems. Water damage behind tile, soft subfloor near the toilet, old plumbing that should have been replaced, fan ductwork that does not actually vent outside — they do not get better under new tile. The right time to fix those is when the room is already open. We talk through what we find before any new finish goes in.

Small bathroom, hall bath, or primary bath

Scope changes with the room. A powder room is a quick refresh. A hall bath usually needs the most thoughtful planning because the family lives with it every day. A primary bath has the most layout flexibility — and the most decisions. Each one gets a written scope tailored to the actual room.
