How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Lakewood?
Most Lakewood bathroom remodels run $12,000–$40,000 — a hall-bath refresh with a tub-to-shower swap at the low end, a primary suite with a custom tiled shower and relocated plumbing at the top. Tile, waterproofing, and fixture relocation drive the number. Call 848-633-6440 for a free, itemized estimate broken out by the actual scope of your Lakewood bathroom.
Two very different Lakewood households, two different priorities
In Leisure Village and Leisure Village East, the driving question is usually aging in place: converting a tub to a curbless or low-threshold shower, adding grab bars and a bench, and widening the doorway where the layout allows it. In Westgate, Coventry Square, and Raintree’s duplexes and townhomes, the driving question is often capacity — a single shared bathroom serving a larger household, where adding a second full bath or upgrading a half-bath to full changes daily life more than any finish choice does.
The waterproofing decision that matters most
Every Lakewood bathroom we remodel — whether it’s a 1960s cape near the lakes or a 2015 townhome in Raintree — gets the same standard behind the tile: a proper waterproof membrane or backer system, a correctly sloped shower pan, and sealed penetrations. That discipline is what keeps a tub-to-shower conversion or a new tiled shower from becoming a hidden leak inside a wall five years later. It’s the part of the job nobody sees, and the part we won’t shortcut.
Can you add a bathroom without adding square footage?
Often, yes. Basements and oversized primary suites are the two most common places Lakewood duplex and cape owners find room for an added bathroom — usually within the existing footprint by reworking a closet, hallway, or unused corner. As your general contractor, Paragon evaluates your existing plumbing chase, pulls the Lakewood Township permit, and coordinates the licensed plumbing and electrical the addition requires.
