Most bathrooms in Somerville have not been touched in decades. The tile is cracked, the tub is stained, the layout wastes space, and nothing quite works the way it should. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Bathroom Remodeling Somerville, MA homeowners are asking about is one of the most requested home improvement services in the area, and for good reason. Cove Bath handles the full project from demolition to final cleanup, at a fixed price, with no subcontractor juggling on your end.
Somerville is one of the most densely built cities in the United States. Street after street is lined with triple-deckers, two-family homes, and attached row houses that were built between the late 1800s and early 1900s. These are solid buildings. But their bathrooms tell a different story.
Most bathrooms here were designed for a different era. The rooms are small, sometimes as narrow as 40 to 45 square feet. Galvanized steel pipes that have corroded from the inside, original cast iron drain lines, and plumbing stacked floor to floor through a single shared wall are common in triple-decker units. When you open up a wall in one of these buildings, you may find pipe materials that have not been used in new construction for 50 years. Working around that takes experience, not just tools.
Bathroom Remodeling Somerville, MA projects also come with permit requirements specific to the city. For any work that touches plumbing or structural elements, permits are required through the Somerville Inspectional Services Department. If your home is a three-family building or larger, Massachusetts law requires a licensed contractor to pull those permits. Homeowners in one or two-family dwellings can pull their own, but the work still needs to meet the Massachusetts State Building Code.
Cove Bath handles every permit, every inspection, and every step of the work. Our packages start at $25,000 and go up to $40,000, with no extra charges added afterward. Most bathrooms are done in 1 to 2 weeks. Take our 2-minute quiz and get your price before anything starts.
