Bathroom Remodeling in Cranford, NJ
Cranford has Victorians along the Rahway River and blocks of mid-century houses built as the township grew. We remodel bathrooms in both, from Victorians to mid-century homes, with water in mind.

The township calls itself the Venice of New Jersey, for the Rahway River that winds through it. Its population grew from about 6,000 in 1920 to more than 26,000 by 1960.
Cranford's oldest neighborhoods have fine old Victorian houses along the river parkway. Most of the rest of the township was built in the decades when it grew into a commuter suburb on what is now the Raritan Valley Line.
The river is also why Cranford owners think about water more than most. Hurricane Irene in 2011 brought the Rahway River's flood of record. Homes near the river may sit in a mapped flood zone, and that can shape how a lower-level bathroom should be built.
Upstairs, the usual story applies: mid-century bathrooms with original tile and tubs, and older Victorian baths that have been patched over the years.
What that means for your remodel
- For a lower-level or basement bath near the river, we use materials that tolerate water and check the flood map with you.
- Mid-century bathrooms often have mortar-bed tile and cast-iron tubs. They come out heavy, and we protect the house on the way out.
- Victorian baths: plaster walls and older drains, replaced while the walls are open.
- Every shower gets a sealed Schluter system, not just new tile.

What a bathroom costs in Cranford.
Hall bath remodels and tub-to-shower conversions are the most common jobs here, so the first two rows are the usual starting point. A lower-level bath near the river is priced after we check the flood map and the drain with you.
| Project | Labor only |
|---|---|
| Tub-to-shower conversionThe tub comes out and a tiled shower goes in, in the same spot. | $6,500 – $16,750 |
| Hall or guest bath, full remodelFloor, walls, shower or tub, vanity and toilet. Size and finish level move the number. | $12,000 – $26,000 |
| Primary bathA larger shower, a double vanity, often a tub, a bench or a moved drain. | $23,000 – $50,000+ |
Every number above is labor: demolition, disposal, prep, Schluter waterproofing, installation and cleanup. You buy all materials, from tile and vanity down to thinset, grout and the waterproofing kit, using the product list we write for your job. Permit fees and hidden damage are separate and quoted in writing first. More detail in our NJ bathroom remodel cost guide.
