For Back Bay brownstones needing plumbing updates or Quincy Capes requiring complete layout overhauls, we handle every phase of your bathroom renovation. Our process begins with assessing your home's unique structure - whether that's working around original brick in Beacon Hill or reinforcing floors in Newton's Tudor homes.
We specialize in creating period-appropriate designs that meet modern needs, like converting clawfoot tub spaces into walk-in showers with heated floors. Every project includes mold-resistant drywall, vapor barriers for humid summers, and tile work that accommodates historic settling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle plumbing in old Boston homes?
We replace galvanized pipes with PEX systems and add access panels behind wainscoting for future maintenance. Cast iron drains are preserved when possible.
Can you match my historic tile?
Yes - we source from local salvage yards and custom fabricators to replicate patterns found in South End and Cambridge Victorians.
