Bathroom Remodeling in Orange, CT

A bathroom remodel in Orange covers demolition, waterproofing, tile, plumbing fixtures, vanity, electrical, ventilation, and all Connecticut permits, handled as a single project from initial assessment through final walkthrough. Orange's 1950s and 1970s ranch homes were typically built with one full bathroom serving the whole house, and converting to a two-bath layout is one of the most common projects we complete in this town.

We begin with full demolition of all existing tile, fixtures, vanity, and flooring, then assess the subfloor, framing, and plumbing before any new materials are selected. Orange ranch homes built on slab require saw-cutting concrete to route new drain lines for a second bathroom, a process that also means surveying the slab for existing electrical conduit runs before the first cut is made. We complete that assessment as part of the pre-construction phase so there are no surprises once concrete is opened.

Waterproofing is installed behind all shower and tub surfaces using sheet membrane systems, with cement board throughout all wet zones. In slab-on-grade Orange bathrooms, the floor waterproofing assembly extends across the full shower pan area and is inspected before tile installation begins, because access to correct a membrane failure on a slab bathroom is substantially more disruptive than it is in a framed floor.

Finish work includes floor and wall tile, vanity and countertop installation, all plumbing fixture connections, electrical updates for lighting and GFCI outlets, and exhaust fan installation vented to the exterior. Orange two-bath conversion projects often involve adding a primary bath adjacent to the main bedroom and repurposing the original hall bath as a shared secondary bathroom, which changes the fixture selections and layout priorities for both rooms. Permit coordination and a final walkthrough are standard on every project.
