Dan’s Construction just completed a Trex deck with two sets of stairs for me. I am thrilled with the outcome! Dan was pleasant and efficient in overseeing our deck project, his crew worked tirelessly to complete their work, despite bad weather and the issue of trash on my site…

We called after seeing a recommendation on Facebook and we are very happy we did. We had them build a covered pergola off our back sliders, and since we live in a log home, we wanted rough hewn lumber. Not only did they order the perfect stuff…

Bathroom remodel with a marble walk-in shower and floating double vanity
LAYOUT & SCOPE

From a dated bath to one that works

Avon's large colonials and contemporaries often have primary baths built in the 1980s and 1990s, with a large tub, a single shower and finishes that are ready for a full update. The original bathrooms in Avon's postwar and later houses are usually sound but dated: a tub with a tile or fiberglass surround, a single vanity, not enough storage and not enough light. The common bathroom remodel here is a tub-to-shower conversion or a larger walk-in shower, a new vanity, new tile and better lighting, with a double vanity in the primary bath where the room allows it.

PLUMBING, WATERPROOFING & VENTILATION

Waterproofing and ventilation done right

A tile shower is only as good as what is behind it. We install a waterproofing membrane under the tile rather than relying on grout and cement board alone, slope the shower floor properly to the drain, and fit an exhaust fan sized for the room and vented outside. Those details are invisible once the job is done, and they are the reason a bathroom lasts. Many Avon homes have a walk-out lower level with a bathroom that sees less use, and updating it along with the main bath is often more efficient than doing them separately.

TILE, FIXTURES & FINISHES

Tile, vanities, glass and lighting

This is the part most Avon homeowners enjoy: tile, vanities, countertops, fixtures, glass shower doors and lighting. We can work from your selections or help you choose, and we install all of it. A heated floor is worth considering in a primary bath, and it costs far less to add while the floor is already open than at any other time.

WALK-IN SHOWERS & ACCESSIBILITY

Walk-in showers and aging in place

A walk-in shower with a low or no curb, a bench, a handheld shower and blocking for grab bars is one of the most common requests we get on Avon housing. On a ranch, where everything is on one floor, it is often the change that lets someone stay in the house for years longer.

Common questions about bathroom remodeling in Avon

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Avon?

Usually, once plumbing, wiring or walls change. In Connecticut, plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades and has its own permit and inspection, separate from any building permit, while a purely cosmetic refresh may need none at all. We work out which apply and schedule the inspections. On most Avon housing of this era, the permit side is routine.

What does a bathroom remodel cost in Avon?

On Avon's housing the structure and plumbing are usually predictable, so size, layout changes and finish choices drive most of the cost. We still price it at the house rather than over the phone, because the estimate is free and an itemized number you can trust is worth the visit.

How long will we be without the bathroom?

Ordering the tile, the vanity and the shower glass before demolition keeps the room out of service for the shortest time, so that is how we schedule it. You get a written schedule before demolition starts.

More about bathroom remodeling in Avon

The bathrooms in Avon's housing

Avon's housing runs to large colonials and contemporaries on sloped, wooded lots, many with walk-out lower levels. Houses of that era usually came with one or two modest bathrooms built to a standard plan, which is why the same remodels come up so often here.

The good news is that the plumbing and framing are predictable, so the conversation moves quickly to what you want: a walk-in shower in place of the tub, a double vanity in the primary bath, more storage and better light.

On a contemporary Avon home, the bathroom layout is often more open than in an older house, which makes larger showers and double vanities simple to fit.

Remodeling a bathroom in Avon

Avon's bathrooms are mostly in large colonials and contemporaries built since the 1960s, with primary baths that are often ready for a full update.

Many Avon primary baths have a large jetted tub that rarely gets used, and replacing it with a walk-in shower is one of the most common changes.

With walk-out lower levels on so many homes, adding or updating a lower-level bathroom is a popular way to make that space more useful.

When to schedule a bathroom remodel

A bathroom remodel in Avon is interior work, so unlike a deck or an addition it does not wait on the weather. Winter is often the easiest time to get on the calendar.

What does take time is materials. Custom shower glass, some tile and specialty vanities can be slow to arrive, so we order them before demolition rather than leaving the room torn up while we wait.

Permits and inspections in Avon

Work in Avon is permitted by the Avon Building Department under the Connecticut State Building Code, and we file in our name so the code responsibility sits with us rather than with you. We are licensed in Connecticut as well as Massachusetts, and inspections are ours to schedule and meet.

A bathroom remodel can involve three permits: building, plumbing and electrical. Plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades and inspected on its own schedule, usually at rough-in before the walls are closed and again at the end. We coordinate all of it so the inspections happen in the right order and the job does not stall.
