Bathroom Remodeling in Summit, NJ
From Victorian and Tudor Revival houses to postwar colonials, Summit homes deserve bathrooms that match the rest of the house. We design and build them.
Bathrooms in Summit homes.
Summit went from farmland to summer estates to a hilltop commuter city. Each stage left a different kind of house, and a different kind of bathroom.
In the late 1800s the railroad brought New York families, and farmland turned into estates. The historic districts keep houses from that era: the Kent Place Boulevard district alone mixes Queen Anne, Shingle, Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival homes built between 1892 and 1906. After World War II, Summit had another building boom as commuting to New York became common.
In the older houses, the primary bath is often smaller than the bedroom it serves, and hall baths still carry clawfoot tubs or 1950s tile. In postwar homes, the layout is usually sound, but the finishes and the plumbing are due.
Many Summit owners want a real primary suite: a larger shower, a double vanity, maybe a soaking tub. That often means borrowing space from a closet or a hallway, which we plan with you at the first visit.
What that means for your remodel
- Borrowing space from a closet changes framing and plumbing runs, so we price it after we see it.
- Tudor and Colonial Revival houses often have plaster walls. We open them cleanly and patch what connects to the rest of the house.
- A curbless shower needs the floor recessed or built up. We check the joists before we promise one.
- Houses on a hill can have long runs to the water heater. We look at hot-water delay when we plan a big shower.
What we build in Summit.
Most Summit work is a primary suite or a full hall bath redo, and many owners do both at once.
- Primary suites with a walk-in or curbless shower and a double vanity.
- Freestanding tubs where the floor can carry them.
- Full-height porcelain slabs or large-format tile with few grout lines.
- Schluter waterproofing behind every shower, including benches and niches.
- Hall baths for kids and guests, built to take daily wear.
What a bathroom costs in Summit.
Many Summit projects pair a primary suite with a hall bath. Price each room on its own row; the written estimate lists them separately too.
| 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+ |
Labor only: demolition and disposal, prep, Schluter waterproofing, installation and cleanup. You buy the tile, vanity, fixtures and setting materials from the product list we give you. Permit fees, and anything we find behind the walls, are separate and priced in writing. These are the same ranges our online calculator uses; your real number comes in writing after the visit.
