Bathroom Remodeling in Westport, CT

A bathroom remodel in Westport covers demolition, waterproofing, tile, plumbing fixtures, vanity, electrical, ventilation, and all Connecticut permits, managed as one project from initial planning through final walkthrough. Westport homes near the coast and along the Saugatuck River corridor tend to have larger master bathrooms where the finish expectations are high and the details, grout joint consistency, threshold alignment, fixture centerlines, are examined closely at completion.

We begin with full demolition of all tile, fixtures, vanity, and flooring, then assess the subfloor, wall framing, and existing plumbing rough-in before materials are selected. Westport homes at lower elevations near the water sometimes show subfloor moisture damage from seasonal humidity that was never addressed by the original exhaust fan, and we replace compromised framing and confirm the full vent path exits to the exterior as part of the rough-in phase.

Waterproofing is installed behind all shower and tub areas using membrane systems, with cement board used throughout wet zones as a standard. In Westport master baths where a large format tile is being installed on a shower floor, the membrane has to be set precisely so the slope to the drain is maintained across the full tile field without lippage. We do not rush the waterproofing and slope-setting phase because fixing a drainage problem through finished tile is a full rebuild.

Finish work covers floor and wall tile, vanity and countertop installation, all plumbing fixture connections, electrical updates for lighting and GFCI outlets, and exhaust fan installation. Westport bathroom projects frequently include radiant floor heating, freestanding tub placement with a floor-mounted supply valve, and custom shower niches built into the wall framing during rough-in. Permit coordination and a room-by-room final walkthrough are included in every Westport project.
