Schlickmann's bathroom remodeling work already ranks organically in Stoneham, MA — proof that our domain has the authority foundation to compete. In Greater Boston's high-value housing market, a master bath remodel delivers strong ROI and is one of the most requested projects from homeowners in Lexington, Winchester, Newton, and Brookline. We handle the complete scope: demo, waterproofing, tile, plumbing, electrical, vanity, and finish work.

Bathroom remodeling in Massachusetts requires waterproofing expertise that many tile-only contractors lack. Schlickmann uses cement board substrates, RedGard liquid membrane, and schluter strip systems on every shower installation — the same specifications used by commercial tile contractors. This is why our tile work doesn't crack, grout doesn't fail, and we don't get callback calls six months after completion.

We serve every bathroom type in Greater Boston's housing stock: primary suites in Lexington Colonials, triple-decker hall baths in Somerville, ADA-compliant conversions for aging-in-place in Reading, and small powder room refreshes that transform a 35 sq ft space. Our licensed plumber handles all rough-in work — no separate plumbing contractor required.

Master bath additions and conversions are a specialty: we've converted bedroom closets into walk-in showers, moved plumbing stacks to relocate vanity walls, and built steam shower enclosures with custom niches and bench seats. Every project includes a design consultation to align tile, fixture, and vanity selections before demo begins.

Scope Includes

  • Complete demolition to studs and subfloor
  • Waterproofing membrane (Schluter KERDI or RedGard) in all wet areas
  • Custom tile shower installation with linear drain or traditional curb
  • Heated floor system (electric mat with thermostat)
  • Plumbing rough-in: tub/shower valve, toilet, vanity sink
  • Vanity and mirror installation
  • Recessed and vanity lighting
  • Frameless or semi-frameless glass enclosure
  • Exhaust fan upgrade (Panasonic WhisperCeiling or equivalent)
  • Tile flooring, baseboards, and casing

Bathroom Remodeling — FAQ

How much does bathroom remodeling cost in Massachusetts?

Bathroom remodeling in Massachusetts ranges from $18,000 for a hall bath refresh (new tile, vanity, toilet, fixtures) to $60,000+ for a full primary suite gut remodel with custom tile shower, heated floors, and frameless glass. Schlickmann provides fixed-price proposals so costs are locked before demo begins.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

A full bathroom gut remodel with Schlickmann typically takes 2–5 weeks from demo to completion. A simple hall bath refresh (vanity, toilet, tile floor, no plumbing move) runs 2–3 weeks. A primary suite remodel with custom tile shower, heated floor, and frameless glass runs 4–6 weeks. We build a project schedule before we start.

Do you do ADA-compliant bathroom conversions?

Yes — ADA bathroom conversions for aging-in-place are a growing part of our work in Greater Boston. We install curbless roll-in showers, grab bars (blocking installed during remodel for future use), comfort-height toilets, and wider doorways. Schlickmann is familiar with Massachusetts accessibility requirements and building code standards.

Can you move plumbing during a bathroom remodel?

Yes. Plumbing relocation is common when repositioning a toilet, moving a vanity wall, or converting a tub alcove to a walk-in shower. Schlickmann's licensed plumber handles all rough-in work — no separate plumbing contractor required. Plumbing work requires permits, which we handle with your local building department.

What waterproofing do you use in tile showers?

We use either Schluter KERDI membrane or RedGard liquid waterproofing on cement board in all shower wet areas — the same systems specified by commercial tile contractors. We never use traditional felt paper behind tile. This prevents the grout cracking and mold problems common with improperly waterproofed showers.
