Why Shrewsbury Homeowners Choose Faithful Build for Bathroom Remodeling

We've worked with Shrewsbury's Building Department on dozens of bathroom projects. The homes near Edgemere often have plumbing quirks that come with lakefront properties. The ranches and capes built in the 70s and 80s tend to follow similar layouts, which means we can predict what we'll find behind the walls. That experience means better estimates and fewer surprises.

About Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury bathroom remodeling typically involves homes built between the 1970s and 1990s, though plenty of the older colonials and capes need updates too. Most of these bathrooms were functional when they were built, but they're cramped by today's standards. The fixtures are dated, the tile is showing its age, and the plumbing is getting near the end of its life.

We handle full bathroom renovations where we gut everything down to the studs. We also do targeted updates where you keep the layout but replace the vanity, fixtures, tile, and flooring. Master bath expansions when you want to borrow space from an adjacent room. Most Shrewsbury projects fall between $25,000 and $50,000, though larger master bathrooms with high-end finishes push higher.

Every project starts with a consultation at your home. We walk through the space, talk about what you're looking to do, and flag anything that could affect cost. Old plumbing, subfloor damage, ventilation issues. We'd rather find these upfront than surprise you after demo starts.

Once we begin, we manage everything. We coordinate the plumbers, electricians, and tile installers. We handle the permit process with Shrewsbury's Building Department. We schedule inspections. You're not chasing subcontractors or making runs to Town Hall.

The typical bathroom remodel runs 2-4 weeks once construction begins. Half baths move faster. Full master bathrooms with custom tile showers take longer. The planning phase before construction, selecting materials and finalizing design, usually adds another 4-6 weeks. We work through that with you so materials arrive before we need them.

We've been doing this for 27 years. Same family ownership the entire time. Our clients call us back for their next project, and that repeat business matters more to us than anything else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bathroom Remodeling in Shrewsbury: Your Questions Answered

Most of our Shrewsbury bathroom projects run between $25,000 and $50,000 for a full remodel. A cosmetic refresh with new vanity, fixtures, updated lighting, and fresh paint typically costs $12-18k. Complete gut renovations with layout changes, custom tile work, and premium fixtures can reach $60k or more. The biggest cost drivers are tile selection, custom cabinetry, and any plumbing relocations. We provide detailed estimates so you see exactly where your money goes.
The shower or tub area is typically the biggest expense. Between waterproofing, tile installation, glass enclosures, and quality fixtures, it can account for 30-40% of your total budget. Moving plumbing is the second major cost driver. If you keep your toilet, vanity, and shower where they are, you save thousands. After that, your vanity and countertop choices have the biggest impact. The difference between a stock vanity and custom cabinetry can be $3,000-5,000.
For Shrewsbury bathrooms, we typically recommend porcelain tile or luxury vinyl plank. Porcelain is the gold standard. It's virtually waterproof, extremely durable, and available in styles that mimic wood, marble, or natural stone. Luxury vinyl is warmer underfoot, more forgiving if you drop something, and easier on the budget while still being highly water-resistant. Natural stone like marble looks beautiful but requires regular sealing and more upkeep. We'll show you samples during your consultation.
Porcelain tile is the most water-resistant flooring you can install. With a water absorption rate under 0.5%, it's essentially waterproof when installed properly with quality grout. Ceramic tile is close behind at a lower price point. For a softer feel underfoot, SPC luxury vinyl is 100% waterproof and handles standing water without any issues. We don't recommend laminate in bathrooms. Even the water-resistant versions can warp with repeated moisture exposure.
Since bathroom work happens indoors, any time of year works. But late winter and early spring often offer the best scheduling flexibility. After the holidays, contractor calendars tend to open up. Summer is our busiest season, so if that's your target, book well in advance. Many Shrewsbury families schedule bathroom projects for fall to have everything finished before holiday guests arrive. Whatever your timing, start planning 6-8 weeks out. Material lead times for tile and custom vanities can run 4-6 weeks.
Most bathroom remodels take 2-4 weeks once construction starts. A powder room or 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 planning phase before construction, where you select materials and finalize the design, often takes another 4-6 weeks.
Yes, we handle everything with Shrewsbury's Building Department. Bathroom remodels typically require building, electrical, and plumbing permits. We pull all of them and coordinate the inspections. You don't need to make trips to Town Hall or deal with inspectors. That's all on us.
