West Orange bathrooms, from Tudors to townhouses.

West Orange has almost every kind of house New Jersey builds. We remodel bathrooms in all of them, and we are right next door in Livingston.

Bathrooms in West Orange homes.

Victorian, Jazz Age and Tudor houses, large estates, garden apartments and postwar homes all share one township on the slope of the Watchung Mountains.

West Orange is home to Llewellyn Park, begun in 1853 and known as the first planned residential community in the country. The rest of the township grew in waves, with a real estate boom after World War II and more growth after Interstate 280 opened in 1970.

That mix means very different bathrooms a few streets apart. An older Tudor may have a small tiled bath with a cast-iron tub. A postwar house may have its original pink or green tile. A condo or townhouse may have a fiberglass tub unit and shared walls.

The hills matter too. Houses built into the slope can have bathrooms on several levels, and the plumbing has to reach all of them.

What that means for your remodel

  • In condos and townhouses, we get the association's approval and send our certificate of insurance before work starts.
  • Shared walls and floors in multi-family buildings call for extra care with water shutoffs and noise.
  • Original postwar tile often sits on a thick mortar bed. Removing it is slow, but it tells us what is underneath.
  • Fiberglass tub units usually come out in pieces, which makes a tub-to-shower conversion straightforward.

What we build in West Orange.

The most common request here is a shower that is easier to use. The second is a primary bath that finally gets finished.

  • Tub-to-shower conversions in condos, townhouses and hall baths.
  • Walk-in showers with grab bars that look like part of the design.
  • Primary baths with double vanities and full-height tile.
  • Schluter waterproofing behind every shower, in every type of home.
  • New ventilation that vents outside, not into the attic.

West Orange bathroom questions.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in West Orange?
Yes, when plumbing, electrical or structural work is involved. We file with the township's Building and Construction Code Enforcement office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code and schedule the inspections.
Do you work in condos and townhouses?
Yes. We send the association our insurance certificate and scope, follow the building's work-hour rules, and protect common areas on the way in and out.
Can a tub become a walk-in shower?
In most West Orange hall baths, yes, in the same footprint. We add a low threshold, a niche and glass. See our calculator for a price range first.
How long does it take?
It depends on the scope and on material lead times. You get the schedule in writing before we start.
