Bathroom Remodeling in New Canaan, CT
From floating vanities in a modernist home to a classic colonial refresh, we design to match the house you actually live in.
A bathroom in one of New Canaan's mid-century modern homes calls for restraint — floating vanities, large-format tile with minimal grout lines, frameless glass, fixtures that disappear into the wall rather than announce themselves. Overdo the ornamentation and it stops feeling like part of the house.
Just as often, we're remodeling a bathroom in a traditional New Canaan colonial, where the goal is closer to what we'd do in a lot of Fairfield County towns — classic tile patterns, furniture-style vanities, warmer finishes. We ask which direction your home is pulling before we design anything, because a bathroom that ignores the architecture around it never quite feels finished, no matter how well it's built.

Demo & Waterproofing
Old tile and fixtures come out, then we rebuild the shower pan, vapor barrier, and rough plumbing correctly — this is the part that matters most.

Finish & Walkthrough
Tile, vanity, fixtures, and lighting go in, and we test everything with you before we're done.
Restraint Is A Design Choice, Not A Shortcut
In a modernist home, a "simple" floating vanity with concealed plumbing and minimal hardware is often harder to build well than an ornate traditional one — there's nowhere for a mistake to hide. We treat that simplicity as its own standard to meet, not a lower bar than a more decorated design.
New Canaan Bathroom Remodeling FAQ
Can you build a minimalist, spa-style bathroom for a modernist New Canaan home?
Yes — floating vanities, large-format tile with minimal grout lines, and frameless glass are common requests for New Canaan's modernist homes, and we design to that aesthetic specifically.
Do you also do traditional bathroom remodels for colonial-style New Canaan homes?
Yes, most of our New Canaan work is actually in traditional colonials. We match the finish palette and cabinetry style to the home rather than pushing one look on every project.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in New Canaan?
Across Fairfield County, including New Canaan, most bathroom remodels we do fall into three ranges: $8,000–$15,000 for a cosmetic refresh, new floor included; $20,000–$40,000 for a mid-grade full remodel; and $45,000–$70,000 or more for a high-end rip-and-replace with a layout change, custom tile and a glass enclosure. New Canaan projects often lean toward higher-end materials. Where you land depends on who supplies the materials, the finish level, how labor-intensive the design is, whether we pick up the materials, and any changes made during the job. Set aside about 15% for surprises. A free in-home estimate gets you your exact number.
Do you handle permits with the Town of New Canaan?
Yes, we manage permitting for plumbing, electrical, and structural work through the Town of New Canaan as part of the job.
