Bathroom Remodeling in Madison, CT

A bathroom remodel in Madison covers demolition, waterproofing, tile, plumbing fixtures, vanity, electrical, ventilation, and all Connecticut permits, managed from demolition day through final walkthrough. Madison's shoreline Cape Cods and cottage-style homes often have small original bathrooms where the layout was designed around a tub, a toilet, and a wall-hung sink, with no room left over for storage or a proper shower.

We begin with full demolition of existing tile, fixtures, vanity, and flooring, then inspect the subfloor, wall framing, and plumbing before anything new goes in. Madison's coastal location means that bathroom framing in homes near the water frequently shows higher baseline moisture content than inland Connecticut construction, and we assess every wall cavity before deciding whether existing framing can stay or needs to be replaced prior to waterproofing.

Waterproofing is installed behind all shower and tub areas using membrane systems, with cement board used as the standard wet-zone substrate. In Madison, coastal humidity combined with an older exhaust fan that may not have been sized for the room means the waterproofing assembly carries more load than in a drier climate. We install exhaust fans rated for the actual cubic footage of the bathroom and verify the duct path exits properly to the exterior.

Finish work covers floor and wall tile, vanity and countertop installation, all plumbing fixture connections, electrical updates, and exhaust fan installation. Madison cottage bathrooms being reconfigured to include a walk-in shower often benefit from a niche or two built into the shower wall for storage, since the overall footprint stays small. Permit coordination through the town of Madison and a complete final walkthrough are included with every project.
