Why Lexington Homeowners Choose Faithful Build for Bathroom Remodeling

We've worked with Lexington's Building Department on dozens of bathroom projects. The older homes around town often need plumbing upgrades and better ventilation. The mid-century houses in Five Fields usually have straightforward plumbing but small bathrooms that benefit from smarter layouts. We've seen it all, and that shows up in our estimates and timelines.

About Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lexington

Bathroom remodeling in Lexington means working with a wide range of homes. The older colonials have charm but cramped bathrooms with outdated plumbing. The post-war houses built in the 1950s and 60s have small bathrooms by today's standards. Even newer construction sometimes needs updating after 20 or 30 years of use.

We handle all types of bathroom projects. Full renovations where we take the room down to the studs and rebuild everything. Partial updates where we replace the vanity, fixtures, and tile while keeping the layout intact. Master bathroom expansions when you want to borrow space from an adjacent closet or bedroom. Most Lexington projects run between $30,000 and $55,000, though high-end master baths go higher.

The process starts with a consultation at your home. We look at what you have, talk about what you want, and identify anything that might affect the budget. Old cast iron plumbing, subfloor rot, inadequate venting. Better to know upfront than get surprised during demolition.

Once we start construction, we manage everything. We coordinate plumbers, electricians, tile installers, and anyone else the project needs. We schedule inspections with the town. We pull permits. You're not making calls to subs or trips to Town Hall. That's our job.

Most bathroom remodels take 2-4 weeks once construction begins. Small powder rooms are faster. Large master bathrooms with custom tile work take longer. The planning phase before construction, selecting tile and fixtures and finalizing the design, usually takes 4-6 weeks. We guide you through that process so materials are ready when we need them.

We've been doing this work for 27 years. Same family ownership the whole time. Most of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals. When someone calls us back for their next project, that tells us we're doing something right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bathroom Remodeling in Lexington: Your Questions Answered

Most Lexington bathroom remodels run between $30,000 and $55,000 for a full renovation. A cosmetic update with new fixtures, vanity, paint, and lighting typically costs $15-20k. Complete gut renovations with layout changes, custom tile, and premium finishes push $60k and beyond. Lexington homeowners tend to invest more in quality materials and finishes. We provide detailed, line-item estimates so you know exactly where your money goes.
The shower or tub area is usually your biggest expense. Waterproofing, tile installation, glass enclosures, and fixtures can account for 30-40% of your total budget. Moving plumbing is the second major cost driver. Keeping your toilet, vanity, and shower in their current locations saves thousands. After that, your choice of vanity and countertop makes the biggest impact. A stock vanity versus custom cabinetry can differ by $3,000-5,000 or more.
For Lexington bathrooms, we typically recommend porcelain tile or luxury vinyl plank. Porcelain is the gold standard. It's virtually waterproof, extremely durable, and comes in styles that look like wood, marble, or concrete. Luxury vinyl plank is warmer underfoot, more forgiving if you drop something, and still highly water-resistant. Natural stone like marble looks beautiful but needs sealing and regular maintenance. We'll show you samples during your consultation.
Porcelain tile is the most water-resistant option available, with a water absorption rate under 0.5%. When installed properly with quality grout, it's essentially waterproof. Ceramic tile is a close second at a lower price point. For something softer underfoot, SPC luxury vinyl is 100% waterproof and handles standing water without damage. We don't recommend laminate in bathrooms. Even the "water-resistant" versions can warp with repeated moisture exposure.
Bathroom work happens indoors, so any season works from a construction standpoint. But late winter and early spring often give you better scheduling flexibility. After the holidays, contractor calendars open up. Summer is our busiest season, so book well ahead if that's your target window. Many Lexington families schedule bathroom projects for fall to finish before holiday guests arrive. Whatever your timing, plan to start the conversation 6-8 weeks before you want construction to begin. Tile and vanity lead times can run 4-6 weeks.
Most bathroom remodels take 2-4 weeks once construction starts. A half bath with minimal changes might wrap in 10-12 days. A full master bathroom with tile shower, custom vanity, and new fixtures typically runs 3-4 weeks. If you're moving plumbing or making structural changes, plan for 5-6 weeks. The design and planning phase before construction starts, including material selection and permit approval, often takes another 4-6 weeks.
Yes, we handle everything with Lexington's Building Department. Bathroom remodels typically require building, plumbing, and electrical permits. We pull all the permits and schedule all the inspections. You don't need to visit Town Hall or coordinate with inspectors. We've done this enough times that we know what the inspectors are looking for and how to keep things moving.
