Bathroom Remodeling Built for Newark Homes

The typical Newark bathroom we're called into is a 5x8 hall bath from a mid-century rancher: cast-iron tub, one layer of mud-set tile, a single 60-watt fixture, and no exhaust fan worth the name. Behind the walls we usually find galvanized supply lines and a subfloor that's been quietly absorbing water around the toilet flange for twenty years.

We take those rooms down to the studs, re-plumb in PEX, add a properly ducted fan, and rebuild with a curbless or low-curb shower where the framing allows. In the newer neighborhoods off Route 896 and Salem Church Road the job is different: the space is already there, so the work is upgrading a builder-grade primary bath into something with a full-height tile surround, a real bench, heated floors, and lighting that doesn't wash you out in the mirror.

Older Newark baths near College Avenue sit over uninsulated crawl space, so we add floor insulation and a vapor barrier while the subfloor is open. It is a detail nobody ever sees, and it is why the room stays warm and dry in February instead of drafty.
