Step 1: Define Your Goals and Budget

Start by asking yourself:

  • Do I want more storage?

  • Is better lighting or ventilation a priority?

  • Am I going for a timeless luxury look or a bold modern style?

Setting clear goals will help guide your decisions throughout the process. Establish a realistic budget that includes a cushion for unexpected expenses—especially in older homes common in Bergen County.

Step 2: Choose the Right Layout and Features

Think about functionality before finishes:

  • Walk-in showers are ideal for space-saving and accessibility.

  • Double vanities are great for shared bathrooms.

  • Consider built-in niches or shelving for streamlined storage.

Tip: Stick to your home’s existing plumbing lines to save on cost unless a layout change is essential.

Step 3: Select Durable, Stylish Materials

Bathrooms face high humidity and frequent use, so your materials need to be both attractive and durable:

  • Porcelain or ceramic tiles for floors and walls

  • Quartz or marble for countertops

  • Moisture-resistant paint and sealed grout to reduce mold

At Modern Heritage Remodelers, we help you choose materials that balance luxury, longevity, and budget.

Step 4: Hire Trusted Local Professionals

A successful bathroom renovation requires licensed pros who understand the unique building codes and home styles of Bergen County.

Bonus Tips from the Pros at Modern Heritage Remodelers
