Bathroom remodeling in Allentown
Our Bathroom Remodeling Process in Allentown
Everything is chosen and delivered before demolition starts, so the room is opened once and closed again without a week of waiting on a missing part.
Why nothing is opened up until the parts are here
Every fixture and tile is chosen, ordered and in the building before the first tile comes off.
Allentown Bathroom Pros remodels bathrooms across Allentown and the Lehigh Valley. The six steps run in the same order every time, and the order itself is the point. A room opened before the materials have landed is a room your family cannot use while everybody waits on a delivery.
Six steps, always in this sequence. Somebody comes and measures the same day you call. Design and selections take a few days, and then the materials are ordered and given about a week to arrive. Only once they are here does demolition start, with rough-in following inside a day or two. Waterproofing and tile is the long stage at one to two weeks, and the finish and walkthrough close it out in another day or two.
A tub swapped for a shower inside the existing footprint is about two weeks on site. Moving the toilet, taking out a wall or turning a half bath into a full one runs three to four, most of the difference sitting in the tiling. Your dates come off your room.
Nothing comes off the wall before every box is in the building and you have signed off on what is in them. Call (610) 555-0133 and we will measure it and start the selections this week.
Six steps, and where the weeks actually go
The same order on every bathroom. The long stage is waterproofing and tile, and everything in front of it exists so that stage is never interrupted.
-
Free visit and measure
Same day
Someone comes to the house, measures the room and checks what is behind the walls. Most Allentown homes have only the one bathroom, so the visit covers how the work fits around that too.
-
Design and selections
A few days
Layout, tile, vanity and fixtures get chosen together, with the shower or tub decision made first, since that choice drives the plumbing and waterproofing underneath everything else.
-
Materials ordered
About a week
Tile, the vanity and every fixture get ordered and confirmed before a wall comes down, so the one bathroom in the house is not opened up and left waiting on a delivery.
-
Demo and rough-in
One to two days
Old fixtures and tile come out and the plumbing opens up, which is where a cast iron stack or a floor joist never sized for tile gets found and dealt with.
-
Waterproofing and tile
One to two weeks
A waterproofing membrane goes on before a single tile does, then the floor and walls are set and grouted around it.
-
Finish and walkthrough
One to two days
Vanity, fixtures, lighting and ventilation go in, the room gets cleaned, and someone walks it with you before the job is called done.

Six reasons the room is only opened once
The difference between a two week bathroom and a six week one is almost never the tiling. It is how many times the job stops to wait for something that should have been ordered weeks earlier. Everything below is arranged around not stopping.
- 1. Nothing is demolished on a promise
- Demolition waits until every fixture, tile and trim piece is in the building and checked off against the order. A room opened around a back ordered vanity is a room out of use for a month.
- 2. Selections made with you, early
- The few days after the measure are for choosing, not for us picking on your behalf and hoping. It is also when a tile that turns out to have a ten week lead time gets found and swapped.
- 3. Waterproofing you can inspect
- The membrane goes on before any tile and you are welcome to come and look at it. It is the one part of a bathroom that decides whether the room lasts, and the only part nobody can see afterwards.
- 4. One trade does not wait on another
- Plumbing and electrical rough-in are scheduled into the same day or two rather than a week apart. Most of the dead time in a bathroom is one trade waiting on a different company to turn up.
- 5. The house keeps a working bathroom
- Where there is a second one we plan around it, and where there is not we say so before you commit rather than on the first morning. It is the question people forget to ask and then regret.
- 6. A walkthrough before we invoice
- We go round the finished room with you and list anything needing adjustment before the final bill goes out. A snag found after we have been paid is a much harder thing to get put right.
