Bathroom Remodeling in Darien, CT

A bathroom remodel in Darien covers demolition, waterproofing, tile, plumbing fixtures, vanity, electrical, ventilation, and all required Connecticut permits, managed start to finish as one coordinated project. Most Darien Colonials built before 1970 have original compact bathrooms that homeowners are now reconfiguring, often by borrowing square footage from a closet or adjacent bedroom to create something that actually fits how the household uses the space.

We begin with full demolition of existing tile, fixtures, vanity, and flooring, then inspect the subfloor, wall framing, and all rough plumbing before ordering materials. Pre-1970 Darien homes regularly turn up supply lines that have not been touched since original construction, along with subfloor boards that need sistering before they can carry the weight of a new tile floor without flex.

Waterproofing goes in before any tile, using membrane systems installed behind all shower and tub surfaces and cement board throughout wet wall areas. When a Darien bathroom is being expanded by breaking into a closet, the new framing has to be tied into the existing structure carefully so waterproofing continuity is maintained at the transition, not just in the original wet zone.

Finish scope covers floor and wall tile, vanity and countertop installation, all plumbing connections, electrical work for lighting and GFCI outlets, and exhaust fan replacement or new installation. In Darien, where master bath expansions often involve radiant floor heating under the new tile field, we rough in the heating element before the membrane goes down so everything is properly sequenced. Permit coordination, dust barriers, and a final walkthrough are included in every project.
