Expert Bathroom Remodeling in Wayland, MA

The colonials and capes around Wayland were built when one bathroom was enough. That's changed. We've been remodeling bathrooms here for 27 years, taking those small, outdated spaces and turning them into something that actually works for how you live. We understand the older homes in this area and what to expect when we open up the walls. Let's talk about your project.

About Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Wayland

Most Wayland bathrooms were built decades ago when a 5x7 space with a basic tub and vanity was the norm. The homes here, colonials and capes mostly, are well maintained, but the bathrooms haven't kept pace with how people actually live. Small showers, limited storage, outdated tile, and plumbing that's quietly aging behind the walls.

We handle bathroom remodels of all sizes in Wayland. Complete gut renovations where we strip everything to the studs. Smaller refreshes where we update fixtures, vanity, and flooring while keeping the existing layout. Master bath expansions when you want to borrow space from that adjacent bedroom or closet. Most projects run between $30,000 and $50,000, though master baths with custom tile work and high-end fixtures go higher.

Every project starts with a consultation at your home. We walk through the existing bathroom, talk about what you're looking to do, and flag anything that might affect budget or timeline. Outdated plumbing, subfloor issues, ventilation problems. We'd rather catch these things before demo starts than surprise you three days into the project.

Once we begin, we coordinate everything. The plumbers, electricians, and tile installers work on our schedule. We handle the permit process with Wayland's Building Department. We schedule inspections and make sure everything passes. You don't chase down subcontractors or make trips to Town Hall. That's on us.

Typical bathroom remodels take 2-4 weeks once construction begins. Powder rooms and half baths are faster. Master bathrooms with full tile showers and custom vanities take longer. The planning phase before construction, where you select tile, fixtures, and finalize the design, usually adds another 4-6 weeks. We work through that with you so materials aren't delayed mid-project.

We've been doing this work for 27 years. Family-owned business, same ownership since day one. Our clients call us back for the next project, and that repeat business matters more to us than anything else. If you're ready to update that bathroom, we're ready to talk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bathroom Remodeling in Wayland: Your Questions Answered

Most Wayland bathroom projects fall between $30,000 and $50,000 for a full remodel. A cosmetic refresh with new vanity, fixtures, updated lighting, and fresh paint runs $15-20k. Complete gut renovations with layout changes, custom tile, and premium fixtures push $55-70k. Wayland homeowners tend to invest more in quality materials and finishes. We provide detailed, line-item estimates so you know exactly where the budget goes before we start.
The shower or tub area is typically the biggest expense. Between waterproofing, tile installation, glass enclosures, and quality fixtures, it runs 30-40% of the total budget. The second major cost is moving plumbing. If you keep the toilet, vanity, and shower in their existing locations, you save thousands in labor and materials. Custom vanities and countertops are the next big cost driver. A stock vanity versus custom cabinetry can differ by $3,000-5,000.
For most Wayland bathrooms, we recommend porcelain tile or luxury vinyl plank. Porcelain is the top choice. It's virtually waterproof, extremely durable, and available in styles that mimic hardwood, marble, or stone. Luxury vinyl plank is warmer underfoot, easier on dropped items, and budget-friendly while still being highly water-resistant. Natural stone like marble looks stunning but requires regular sealing and more maintenance. We'll walk through samples during your consultation.
Porcelain tile is the most water-resistant flooring available, with a water absorption rate under 0.5%. When installed properly with quality grout and sealing, it's essentially waterproof. Ceramic tile is close behind at a lower price point. For something softer underfoot, SPC luxury vinyl is 100% waterproof and handles standing water without issue. We don't recommend laminate in bathrooms. Even water-resistant laminate can warp with repeated moisture exposure over time.
Since bathroom work happens indoors, any season technically works. That said, late winter and early spring often offer better scheduling flexibility. After the holidays, contractor calendars open up. Summer is our busiest time, so if that's your target, book early. Many Wayland families schedule bathroom projects for fall, finishing before holiday guests arrive. Whatever your timing, start planning 6-8 weeks ahead. Material lead times for tile and custom vanities can run 4-6 weeks.
Most bathroom remodels take 2-4 weeks once construction begins. A half bath or powder room with minimal changes might wrap in 10-12 days. A full master bathroom with custom tile shower, new vanity, and updated fixtures typically runs 3-4 weeks. If you're moving plumbing or making structural changes, plan for 5-6 weeks. The design and material selection phase before construction starts usually adds another 4-6 weeks to the overall timeline.
Yes, we handle everything with Wayland's Building Department. Most bathroom remodels require building, plumbing, and electrical permits. We pull all necessary permits, coordinate inspections, and ensure everything meets code. You don't need to make trips to Town Hall or deal with inspectors. We manage that entire process from start to finish.
