Bathroom Remodeling in Woodbridge, CT

A bathroom remodel in Woodbridge covers demolition, waterproofing, tile, plumbing fixtures, vanity, electrical, ventilation, and all Connecticut permits, handled as a single project from start through final walkthrough. Woodbridge's 1950s through 1980s Colonial homes typically have two or three bathrooms with original 1970s tile that has aged well past its useful life, and most projects involve a complete gut rather than a surface-level refresh.

We start with full demolition of all existing tile, fixtures, vanity, and flooring, then inspect the subfloor, wall framing, and plumbing before materials are selected. Original 1970s tile in Woodbridge bathrooms was frequently set in a thick mortar bed over the subfloor, which adds weight the framing may not have been sized for and creates a height differential between the bathroom floor and the adjacent hallway that has to be resolved during the rebuild. We address the subfloor leveling and any joist reinforcement at the same time we address the plumbing and electrical rough-in.

Waterproofing is installed behind all shower and tub areas using sheet membrane systems, with cement board throughout wet zones. In Woodbridge bathrooms where the original mortar-bed installation concealed water that was migrating through failed grout over many years, we inspect the framing behind the tub for rot before waterproofing begins, replacing any compromised material before the new assembly goes in.

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. Woodbridge homes with three bathrooms often want the hall bath and guest bath updated at the same time to avoid a second round of disruption, and we can sequence both rooms as a single mobilization when the scope is planned together. Permit coordination and a final walkthrough are included in every project.
