What's included in a full remodel
- Demolition down to studs and subfloor, with dust protection for the rest of the house
- Plumbing updates, including new shutoffs, drain lines, and shower valves
- Electrical: GFCI outlets, vanity lighting, and a properly ducted exhaust fan
- Shower waterproofing membrane (not just tile over drywall)
- Tile, vanity, toilet, fixtures, glass, and accessories
- Permits and inspections
How long does it take?
Most full bathroom remodels take 2 to 4 weeks of work once materials are on site. We order everything before demolition, so your bathroom isn't sitting torn apart waiting on a vanity.
Older-house surprises
In pre-1960 homes, it's common to find galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, and floor joists notched by past plumbers. We price those possibilities up front so you're not surprised mid-project.
Typical cost
Most Union County full bathroom remodels run $20,000 to $35,000. Larger or high-end bathrooms in towns like Westfield and Chatham often run $35,000 to $60,000.

Questions about bathroom remodeling
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in NJ?
Replacing fixtures in place often needs a plumbing permit, and moving plumbing or electrical definitely does. DMF handles the permits.
Can I use my bathroom during the remodel?
No, it will be out of service for the project. If it's your only bathroom, we plan the schedule to keep the out-of-service time as short as possible.
