A bathroom in Philadelphia has to do two jobs at once: function flawlessly every morning and feel like a retreat at night. We design both into the room from day one.
City baths mean waterproofing over aging framing and often a stack we're not allowed to move. We scope the constraint on the walk-through, price the workaround, then take you through the finish package at the showroom: large-format porcelain to minimize grout, custom vanities cut to the room, frameless glass on Schluter Kerdi. Tile is set on properly prepared substrates with the right membranes, not glued straight to drywall. The reason our bathrooms still look new years later is what's underneath them.

Philadelphia Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
Cost, timeline, permits, and what's included for bathroom remodeling projects in Philadelphia, PA.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Philadelphia, PA?
Guest and hall bathrooms typically start around $18,000 fully installed. Primary or spa-style baths — frameless glass, freestanding tub, custom vanity, heated floors, natural stone — generally run $60,000 and up. Scope, fixture tier, and waterproofing requirements drive most of the variance.
How long does a Philadelphia bathroom remodel take?
Most bathroom renovations take 4–7 weeks of on-site work once materials are in hand. Full waterproofing, tile setting, and fixture install are the slowest steps; we never rush a shower pan or substrate prep to hit a date.
Do you handle permits and inspections in Philadelphia?
Yes. We pull all required permits with the township and schedule inspections directly. Philadelphia bathroom remodels typically need permits for electrical, plumbing, and (for kitchens and whole-home work) any structural changes — all handled in-house.
