Plainfield homes and their bathrooms
Plainfield's historic districts, including Van Wyck Brooks, the Crescent Area, and Netherwood, hold some of the finest large Victorians and Colonial Revivals in the state. DMF has restored 100-year-old homes here and knows how to update them without losing what makes them special.
Bathrooms in older, character homes
In Plainfield's Victorians and older homes, floors are rarely level and joists have been notched by generations of plumbers. We sister and level framing before tile, and choose finishes that suit the house.
Pre-war plumbing
Many Plainfield homes still have galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains. A bathroom remodel is the right time to replace them, before they fail inside a finished wall.
Plainfield pricing
Most Plainfield full bathroom remodels run $20,000 to $35,000. Tub-to-shower conversions typically run $14,000 to $25,000, and powder rooms $10,000 to $20,000.
