Bathroom Remodeling in Cheshire, CT

Cheshire lies east of Waterbury along Routes 10 and 70, with the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail running through it. Most of its homes are single-family houses from the 1950s through the 1990s, and their primary and hall baths are what Cheshire owners call about.

Cheshire houses

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates) counts about 10,813 housing units in Cheshire. About 78% of Cheshire's homes are single-family detached houses, and about 87% are owner-occupied. Most went up from the 1950s through the 1990s. The 1980s were the busiest decade, and only about 9.1% predate 1940.

Houses from the 1970s and 1980s often have a primary bath and a hall bath, both with original tubs, surrounds and vanities. Cheshire projects often take on both rooms in sequence: the primary bath first, then the hall bath once the family has seen how the first one turned out.

FAQ·Good questions

Asked on most first calls

Brief answers. If your house has a twist we haven't covered, call and tell us about it.

01How far is Cheshire from Waterbury?

Central Cheshire is about 19 minutes and 13 road miles from central Waterbury.

02Can a Cheshire bathroom keep a tub and still get a walk-in shower?

Often, if the room is long enough. A 60-inch tub on one wall and a 36-inch shower beside it fit in many primary baths. In a smaller hall bath most people choose one or the other, and a walk-in shower with a bench usually wins once the kids are grown.

03Do you work on newer Cheshire homes too?

Yes. About 41% of Cheshire homes were built in 1980 or later, per the Census Bureau, and those bathrooms are often the easiest to open up. Most of those jobs are about the look: tile in place of a fiberglass surround, a bigger vanity and better light.

04Where do we see tile and fixture samples?

At your Cheshire home. We bring tile, stone and fixture samples so you can judge them in the room's own light, and we measure on the same visit.
