Measured in your Allentown home, scheduled around the only bathroom in the house, and waterproofed correctly before a single tile goes on.
The morning the only bathroom in the house works again is what bathroom remodeling in an older Allentown home buys you.
Allentown Bathroom Pros is a bathroom remodeling contractor in Allentown, working Bethlehem, Easton and the rest of the Lehigh Valley since 2010. A job booked today starts within a month of the first visit.
Full bathroom remodels first, then showers and bathtubs including tub to shower conversions, tiling and waterproofing, vanities and storage, and accessible bathrooms with curbless showers and grab bar blocking.
Every tiled wet area gets a Schluter-Kerdi membrane behind the wall and an uncoupling mat under the floor before a single tile is set, a bonded waterproof membrane to ANSI A118.10 that keeps water out of the subfloor and the joists under it.
Is a single vanity swap too small a bathroom remodeling job to call about? A single vanity swap is bathroom remodeling work like any other, a homeowner and one morning on site, and the far end is a landlord's rowhouse bath stripped to the joists and rebuilt.
Allentown Bathroom Pros books a free in-home bathroom remodeling visit across Allentown, Bethlehem, Emmaus and Whitehall at (610) 555-0133. Somebody comes out, measures the room and checks behind the wall, and you are left holding a written plan and a start date.

Who we are
We have been remodeling bathrooms across Allentown and the Lehigh Valley since 2010. Sixteen years in, the job still comes down to a measured plan, waterproofing done properly, and a schedule you can hold us to.
The person who quotes your job is the person who runs it. We pull the permits, book the trades and meet the inspector, so you know which week the only bathroom in the house is out and which week it is back.
Services
Homeowners in a rowhouse or a twin whose only bathroom has never been touched call for a full remodel when patching one more thing stops making sense. It suits anyone ready to replace the whole room at once rather than one fixture at a time, especially where the layout itself needs to change, not just what is on the surface.
Learn more about Full Bathroom Remodels
Homeowners past the point of stepping over a tub wall call for a conversion, along with anyone whose shower pan has already failed and needs rebuilding from the subfloor up. It suits a single fixture changing inside a room that otherwise stays as it is, not a full remodel of everything around it.
Learn more about Showers and Bathtubs
For a shower that is failing quietly behind the tile, or a floor going in fresh. The membrane is the part nobody sees again, which is exactly why it gets named, checked and flood tested before a single tile is set on top of it.
Learn more about Tiling and Waterproofing
For a rowhouse bathroom where the vanity that looked fine in a showroom will not clear the door, or a family finally adding real storage to a room that never had any. The measure comes before the choice, not after.
Learn more about Vanities and Storage
For somebody staying in the home they know, or a family arranging a bathroom before a parent moves in or comes home from hospital. The room is planned around an actual person, on the visit, not against a checklist.
Learn more about Accessible BathroomsEvery waterproofing detail and every fixture spec gets named at the visit, before a wall comes down.
The tile, the waterproofing and the fixtures are chosen before anybody starts, not guessed once the surface is off. Every tiled wall gets a Kerdi membrane and every tiled floor gets an uncoupling mat, with a sloped mortar bed rather than a pre-formed pan, so the slope is built in rather than glued on.
Backer board behind tile is cement board, never greenboard, since a wet room needs a surface with no paper face. Drain lines are PVC or code-compliant cast iron, never tied into a failing stack without inspecting it first.
Tile is Grade 1 porcelain or natural stone, grout sealed once cured, and every fixture is rated for the hard water here, which shortens a faucet's life in this region.

(610) 555-0133Cast iron waste stacks behind the tile, plaster on lath instead of drywall, and a floor never framed for a tiled pan all change how a bathroom here gets rebuilt.
Rated 5 out of 5
Old tile came off and the subfloor under it was rotten. Cost a day and they showed me the wood before it went in the truck. Floor is solid now.

One bathroom in the whole house and two kids. They told me at the measure it would be out nine days and it was out nine days. I planned my week around that number and never had to change it.
Rated 5 out of 5
My father moved in with us last spring and I called about grab bars. The guy who came out talked me into a curbless pan while the floor was open instead. He was right. Dad gets in on his own now.
Ask what a bathroom like yours actually took, and we will tell you the days before we tell you the number.

Full remodel, century rowhouse bath
Bethlehem
A hundred-year-old rowhouse bathroom gutted to the joists, a failing cast iron stack replaced, and a curbless shower fit where a clawfoot tub once stood.
Tub to shower conversion
Easton
A cast iron tub pulled from a twin home's only bathroom and replaced with a curbless shower, the drain reworked and the pan sloped and waterproofed in place.

Emmaus
A leaking shower traced to a missing membrane, torn out to the studs, waterproofed correctly, and retiled before water could reach the plaster wall behind it.

Whitehall
A single pedestal sink swapped for a double vanity with drawer storage, fit into a bathroom too narrow for a standard cabinet without resizing the layout first.
Curbless accessible shower
Macungie
A step-in tub replaced with a curbless shower and grab bar blocking added behind new tile, sized for a walker without widening the doorway itself.
Powder room remodel
Catasauqua
A cramped half bath off the kitchen refitted with a corner vanity and a taller toilet, the only layout change the small footprint would allow.
A free measure, and the written scope signed before demolition.
One bathroom, two different quotes. Here is what actually moves the number once the room has been measured and opened up.
Every factor above gets confirmed once someone has seen the room, so the number quoted at the visit is the number kept. Get a free quote
A house stuck at one bathroom is one of the harder sells in an older Lehigh Valley neighborhood.
National renovation-return studies publish a bathroom figure every year, broken out by region, and it shifts enough between editions that quoting last year's number here would already be stale. What holds up better than a single percentage is what a home inspector and a buyer's agent both flag in an older Lehigh Valley house.
A house stuck at one bathroom sells slower than one with a second full or half bath in this market, so adding one where the layout allows it usually matters more than the finish chosen inside it. Where only the existing bathroom is redone, correct waterproofing, working ventilation, and neutral fixtures are what keep the room off an inspection report.
Two to three weeks door to door, and the noisy work is over well before the halfway point.

FAQs
Bathroom remodeling questions from Allentown homeowners
Yes. Plenty of calls are for one fixture rather than a full gut, and a vanity swap, a new toilet or a faucet replacement gets scheduled the same as any larger job. The visit and the measure cost nothing either way, and a small job on the only bathroom in the house still gets the schedule kept short.
Everything removed leaves on the truck the same day it comes out, hauled off rather than left in a driveway or a yard. If a fixture is still good and you want it kept for a donation or a second bathroom elsewhere in the house, say so at the visit and it gets set aside instead of scrapped.
It comes down to who uses the room and how often it needs to double as the house's only bathing option for a small child or a guest. A curbless shower is easier to get in and out of and reads better at resale in this area, but a house with young kids or only one bathroom often keeps at least one tub on purpose.
In most houses, yes, except for short stretches during rough-in and again on tile day. Where a house genuinely has only the one bathroom and the layout will not allow a temporary fixture, that closure window gets planned and confirmed with you before demolition starts, not discovered partway through.
It does. Hard water scales up fixtures and shortens the life of anything not rated for it, so faucets, shower valves and toilets get chosen with that in mind rather than on finish alone. Grout is sealed once cured for the same reason, since hard water spotting shows fastest on unsealed grout lines.
Personal items, medicine cabinet contents and anything on open shelving, yes. The crew handles removing the old fixtures, tile and any cabinetry themselves, and lays down protection through the halls and stairs the materials travel to reach the bathroom.
Call and somebody comes back to look at it, and the visit costs nothing. Allentown Bathroom Pros carries general liability and workers compensation insurance, and a callback on the actual work performed is handled under that rather than treated as a new job to be quoted separately.
Yes, and it is common across the rowhouse stock in this area. Tell us the notice the tenant is owed and the hours access actually works, and the schedule is built around that rather than around the crew's own preference for when to start.
Licensed plumbing and electrical trades are brought in and coordinated as part of the job rather than left for you to hire separately, and permits are pulled where the work requires one. One crew sees the job through, so nobody is chasing a second contractor to finish what the first one started.
If anybody in the house currently uses one, or is likely to within the life of this remodel, it gets discussed at the visit alongside grab bar blocking and a curbless shower pan. Widening a doorway is far cheaper done during a gut than added back in later.
Demolition and tile cutting are the loud, dusty stretches, contained with plastic sheeting at the doorway and, where the layout allows it, sealed off from the house's HVAC return so dust is not pulled through the ducts into other rooms.
Grout and caulk need a full cure before regular use, usually about a day for grout and closer to a week before the shower should get heavy daily use. The walkthrough at the end of the job covers exactly what is safe to use immediately and what should wait.
