Chatham homes and their bathrooms
Chatham Borough and Chatham Township are among the most sought-after addresses in Morris County, with colonials, Tudors, and Capes on tree-lined streets. Renovations here are about adding space and value to homes owners plan to keep for a long time.
Colonial hall baths
Colonials in Chatham usually have a small original hall bath with a cast-iron tub and wall tile from the 1950s or earlier. They're great candidates for a full gut remodel, and many owners borrow closet space to enlarge the primary bath.
Tudor and period bathrooms
Some Chatham Tudors still have original tile worth saving, and others are ready for a full remodel. Either way, we design bathrooms that fit the character of the house.
Cape Cod upstairs bathrooms
Upstairs bathrooms in Chatham Capes are often squeezed under a sloping ceiling with a knee wall behind the tub. We plan the shower where head height works, and often add a small dormer or skylight to open it up.
Chatham pricing
Most Chatham bathroom remodels run $28,000 to $45,000 for a full hall or family bath and $45,000 to $75,000 for a primary bath, reflecting the finish level owners here typically choose. Tub-to-shower conversions start around $15,000.
