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…

Dan is super nice and easy to work with. His team worked all day to get our roof replaced which had damage down to the rafters. He is knowledgeable, fair and trustworthy. I highly recommend this company and will definitely hire them for future projects.

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

Windsor Locks' compact postwar capes and ranches usually have a single small bathroom, and making it work better without enlarging the room is the most common request. The original bathrooms in Windsor Locks'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. On a cape or a ranch the bathroom is usually right over the basement, so the drain and supply lines are easy to reach, which keeps the plumbing side of the remodel simple.

TILE, FIXTURES & FINISHES

Tile, vanities, glass and lighting

This is the part most Windsor Locks 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 Windsor Locks 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 Windsor Locks

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Windsor Locks?

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 Windsor Locks housing of this era, the permit side is routine.

What does a bathroom remodel cost in Windsor Locks?

On Windsor Locks'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 Windsor Locks

The bathrooms in Windsor Locks's housing

Windsor Locks's housing runs to compact postwar capes and ranches, plus older homes along the canal and Main Street. 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.

The older homes along the canal and Main Street have bathrooms that were fitted in decades after the houses were built, and they need more checking behind the walls.

Remodeling a bathroom in Windsor Locks

Windsor Locks' bathrooms are mostly in compact postwar capes and ranches, usually a single small bathroom that the household shares.

In a one-bathroom house, we plan the remodel so the toilet is out of service for as little time as possible, and we tell you in advance which days those are.

In the older homes along the canal and Main Street, the bathroom needs more checking behind the walls, because it was fitted in long after the house was built.

When to schedule a bathroom remodel

A bathroom remodel in Windsor Locks 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 Windsor Locks

Work in Windsor Locks is permitted by the Windsor Locks 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.
