About Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Andover

Bathroom remodeling in Andover usually starts with a conversation about what isn't working. Too small, outdated tile, not enough storage, fixtures that have seen better days. We hear it all the time. The homes here were built well, but bathrooms from 40 or 50 years ago don't hold up to how people live now.

We handle full renovations and smaller updates. Gut the space down to the studs if that's what it needs. Replace the vanity and fixtures if you just want a refresh. Add a walk-in shower where an old tub used to be. Expand into an adjoining closet to make room for a double vanity. The scope depends on your goals and your budget, and we work with both.

Every project starts with a meeting at your house. We look at the space, ask questions about what you want, and point out anything that might complicate things. Old cast iron drain lines, venting issues, subfloor damage. Better to know up front than get surprised mid-project. Then we put together a line-item estimate so you see exactly where the money goes.

Once we start, we manage everything. The demo, the framing, the plumbing and electrical work, the tile, the fixtures, the final details. We coordinate the inspections and handle any questions that come up. You're not tracking down subcontractors or wondering what happens next.

Most bathroom remodels here run between $30,000 and $50,000. Powder rooms with basic updates fall on the lower end. Full master bathrooms with custom tile showers and high-end fixtures push higher. Andover homeowners tend to invest in quality, and we're used to working with clients who want things done right. Whether you're in one of the older neighborhoods like Ballardvale or somewhere else in town, we bring the same attention to detail.

The work typically takes 3-4 weeks once construction starts. Smaller projects wrap faster. Larger master baths with layout changes can stretch to 5-6 weeks. Before construction, there's a planning phase for selecting tile, fixtures, and finalizing the design. That usually adds another month or so, but it means we're not waiting on materials when we should be working.

We've been doing this for 27 years. Same family ownership the whole time. Licensed, insured, and we've built a reputation on doing quality work and treating clients right. Most of our business comes from referrals, which tells you what you need to know.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bathroom Remodeling in Andover: Your Questions Answered

Most Andover bathroom projects fall between $30,000 and $50,000 for a full remodel. A cosmetic refresh with new fixtures, vanity, and updated lighting runs $15-20k. Complete gut renovations with custom tile, layout changes, and premium finishes can push $60k and beyond. Andover homeowners typically invest in quality materials and expect work that lasts. We provide detailed estimates that break down every cost so there are no surprises.
The shower or tub area typically accounts for the biggest chunk of your budget. Waterproofing, tile work, glass enclosures, and quality fixtures can run 30-40% of the total cost. The second major expense is relocating plumbing. If you keep your toilet, vanity, and shower in the same locations, you save thousands. Custom cabinetry and countertops also add up quickly. A stock vanity versus custom built-ins can differ by $4,000 or more.
Porcelain tile and luxury vinyl plank are the two best options for Andover bathrooms. Porcelain is durable, virtually waterproof, and available in styles that mimic wood, marble, or stone. It's the gold standard. Luxury vinyl plank is warmer underfoot, easier on your budget, and still highly water-resistant. Natural stone like marble looks beautiful but requires regular sealing and more upkeep. We walk clients through samples during the consultation to find what works best.
Porcelain tile is the most water-resistant flooring you can install, with a water absorption rate under 0.5%. When installed correctly with quality grout and proper sealing, it's essentially waterproof. Ceramic tile is a close second at a lower price point. For a softer feel underfoot, SPC luxury vinyl is 100% waterproof and handles moisture without warping. We don't recommend laminate in bathrooms. Even water-resistant laminate can fail with repeated exposure to moisture.
Bathroom work happens indoors, so any time of year is fine from a construction standpoint. Late winter and early spring tend to offer better scheduling flexibility since fewer people are renovating then. Summer is our busiest season, so if that's your target, book well ahead. Many Andover families schedule bathroom projects for fall so everything is finished before the holidays. No matter when you start, plan for 6-8 weeks of lead time to select materials and finalize designs before construction begins.
Most bathroom remodels take 3-4 weeks once construction starts. A powder room or smaller half bath might wrap in two weeks. A full master bathroom with tile shower, custom vanity, and layout changes typically runs four to five weeks. If you're moving plumbing or dealing with structural work, plan for six weeks. The planning phase before construction, including material selection and design work, usually adds another 4-6 weeks to the overall timeline.
Yes. Bathroom projects in Andover typically require separate plumbing and electrical permits, and sometimes a building permit depending on the scope. We pull all necessary permits and coordinate the inspections. You don't need to visit Town Offices or deal with scheduling inspectors. That's all on us. We know what the town requires and how to keep things moving.
