Few rooms in your home work as hard as your bathroom — and few have the power to transform your daily routine the way a thoughtfully renovated one can. Ready to see what’s truly possible? Browse our before-and-after gallery, where dated, cramped, and worn-out spaces across New Jersey have been rebuilt from the studs into bright, functional, and genuinely beautiful retreats.
As a team that focuses exclusively on bathrooms, we bring a depth of craftsmanship that general remodelers simply can’t match. Every project in this gallery — from full demolition gut-renovations to tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in showers, aging-in-place upgrades, and custom design-build makeovers — reflects the same commitment to quality, durability, and detail. You’ll see original cast-iron radiators lovingly restored, waterproofed tile surrounds built to last decades, custom niches, spa-style fixtures, and layouts reimagined to make even compact spaces feel open and luxurious.
What you won’t see in these photos is the work behind the walls: proper Hardi-cement board with waterproof membrane, leveled subfloors, code-compliant electrical and ventilation, and EPA Lead-Safe certified processes that protect your family during construction. That hidden craftsmanship is exactly why our clients trust us — and why our results stand the test of time.
Each of these homeowners started right where you might be now: living with a bathroom that no longer fit their needs. Whether you’re dreaming of a serene master retreat, a family-friendly bath that handles daily chaos with ease, or a safe, accessible space to age comfortably at home, our team is ready to bring that vision to life.

Step into a complete reimagining of this three-piece full bathroom in Union, Union County, NJ — taken down to the studs and rebuilt with precision by our team at The Powder Room Guys.

Bloomfield, New Jersey

Project Description
Step into a striking modern transformation in Bloomfield, Essex County, NJ — a three-piece full bathroom taken down to the studs and completely reimagined by our team at The Powder Room Guys. What began as a dated space drowning in dark brown arabesque mosaic tile and avocado-yellow fixtures is now a bright, timeless black-and-white retreat with serious designer appeal.
The centerpiece is a classic white subway-tile tub surround set off by bold black grout and a custom recessed niche — paired with a sleek matte-black rainfall-and-handheld shower system for a clean, contemporary contrast. Underfoot, white hexagon mosaic flooring with dark grout ties the palette together beautifully. A floating natural-oak vanity with an open metal-frame base, quartz top, round black-framed mirror, and matte-black faucet bring warmth and a modern-industrial edge, while a high-efficiency one-piece toilet completes the look.
Beneath the beauty lies the craftsmanship that lasts: full plaster, wire-mesh, and lathe demolition down to the studs, framing padded and leveled, new Hardi-cement board with RedGuard waterproofing, leveled subflooring, fresh insulation, and a quiet Panasonic WhisperFit exhaust fan.

Luxury Master Bathroom Renovation in Montclair, NJ
Location
Montclair, New Jersey
Project Description
When the homeowners on Greenview Way in Montclair, NJ were ready to retire their dated primary bath — a builder-grade drop-in jacuzzi, tired tan wall tile, and brass fixtures from another era — they turned to The Powder Room Guys. As New Jersey’s bathroom-only renovation specialists, our entire team focuses on one thing: building bathrooms that last as beautifully as they look.
This was a full five-piece gut renovation. We reworked the layout into a true spa retreat — a freestanding soaking tub set beneath the window, an oversized frameless glass walk-in shower with a built-in bench and recessed niche, and a custom double vanity topped with stone and finished with backlit LED mirrors. Comfort was layered in with a heated towel warmer and a smart bidet toilet.
Behind the finishes is the craftsmanship that protects your investment. Every wet wall was built on cement board and sealed with Schluter and RedGuard waterproofing systems, the subfloor was prepped with self-leveling underlayment, and large-format porcelain tile was set with factory-recommended materials for a flawless, durable result.
Backed by our BBB A+ rating, EPA Lead-Safe certification, 55+ five-star reviews, and a three-year workmanship warranty, this Montclair transformation shows exactly why homeowners across Essex County trust us with their most personal space.
Walk-In Shower Bathroom Renovation in Westfield, NJ
Location
Westfield, New Jersey
Project Description
On Cedar Terrace in Westfield, NJ, a cramped, century-old bathroom — pedestal sink, exposed steam radiator, dark wood-plank ceiling, and dated beadboard — was holding a beautiful older home back. The owners came to The Powder Room Guys, New Jersey’s bathroom-only renovation specialists, for a true design-build transformation.
Because we focus exclusively on bathrooms, we reworked the entire footprint. Working from a custom design plan, our team took the space down to the studs, reframed a new floor plan, relocated the steam radiator, and repositioned the toilet to open the room up. The result is a serene, coastal-inspired retreat: a spacious doorless walk-in shower with a knee-wall divider, crisp white subway tile accented by a hand-set mosaic band, a shiplap shower ceiling, a recessed niche, and a corner bench. A white shaker vanity with a marble top and open display shelf, an LED backlit medicine cabinet, and warm wood-look porcelain flooring complete the look.
Behind the finishes is the craftsmanship that protects it: a Schluter shower pan and waterproofing system, RedGuard membrane on wet walls over cement board, and self-leveling underlayment for a flawless tile floor.
Backed by our BBB A+ rating, EPA Lead-Safe certification, 55+ five-star reviews, and a three-year workmanship warranty, this Westfield transformation shows why Union County homeowners trust us with the spaces that matter most.
Walk-In Shower Bathroom Renovation in Montclair, NJ
Location
Montclair, New Jersey
Project Description
Tucked inside an older home on Bruce Road in Montclair, NJ, this compact full bath had plenty of vintage character but very little function. Dated black-and-white tile, a cramped tub enclosure, and a tired layout left the homeowner working around the room instead of enjoying it. The brief for The Powder Room Guys was simple: make a small footprint feel open, current, and effortless.
As a team that renovates bathrooms and nothing else, we knew exactly how to win back space. We stripped the room to the studs, cleared the old poured-cement floor from between the joists — a common find in Montclair’s early-1900s housing stock — and rebuilt around a doorless walk-in shower wrapped in classic white subway tile. A gently curved knee wall keeps the shower open while quietly defining it, and a recessed niche adds storage without interrupting the clean lines.
The palette does the rest: bright subway walls, a deep navy vanity, charcoal slate-look floor tile, and a cluster of blue glass pendants that hand the room its personality. Beneath every finish sits a Schluter shower pan and full waterproofing system over cement board — engineered to keep this bathroom watertight for decades.
It’s the kind of result — backed by our BBB A+ rating, EPA Lead-Safe certification, 55+ five-star reviews, and three-year workmanship warranty — that proves a small bathroom can still make a big statement.
Curbless Walk-In Shower Bathroom Renovation in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
Location
Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey
Project Description
Step into this Hasbrouck Heights, NJ bathroom today and the first thing you notice is the stone — sweeping blue-grey slab walls threaded with amber veining, wrapping the room like the inside of a geode. It’s a long way from where this project started: a dated four-piece bath in tan stone-look tile, a bulky jacuzzi tub, a pedestal sink, and an ornate gold mirror that belonged to another decade.
The homeowners on Boulevard wanted something dramatic and barrier-free, and The Powder Room Guys — a crew that builds bathrooms exclusively — delivered exactly that. We gutted the room to the studs and re-engineered the floor itself: cutting into the joists, lowering the subfloor, and waterproofing the entire base with a Schluter membrane to create a true curbless walk-in shower. A tileable linear drain keeps the entry seamless, so the floor flows uninterrupted from the vanity straight into the shower.
The finishes carry that drama forward — full-height stone-look slab tile, a glittering blue hexagon mosaic floor, a clean white double vanity, and twin round mirrors beneath a softly arched ceiling. A new pocket door reclaims the last few inches of usable space.
EPA Lead-Safe certified, BBB A+ rated, and protected by our three-year workmanship warranty and 55+ five-star reviews, this Bergen County renovation is proof that a bold transformation is worth doing right.
Classic White Bathroom Renovation in Glen Ridge, NJ
Location
Glen Ridge, New Jersey
Project Description
High up on the third floor of a classic Glen Ridge, NJ home, this bathroom had good bones but a dated feel — a glass-doored tub-and-shower combo, busy sage tile, and a cramped single vanity that didn’t match the elegance of the house below it. The owners on Forest Avenue wanted something bright, timeless, and built for two.
The Powder Room Guys focus on one room and one room only, and that specialization shows in the details here. We removed the old tub and converted the wet wall into a generous walk-in shower — framed in glass and lined with crisp white subway tile, a corner bench, built-in shelves, and a recessed niche. Across the room, a white double vanity with a marble top and warm brass hardware anchors the space, paired with a large-format marble-look floor laid in a herringbone pattern that pulls the eye wall to wall.
Working in an older home meant working carefully: we relocated the steam radiator to suit the new floor height, reset the interior door, and ran a new dedicated circuit up to the third floor for the sconces and added outlet. Every wet surface was waterproofed and tiled to last.
With our BBB A+ rating, EPA Lead-Safe certification, 55+ five-star reviews, and a three-year workmanship warranty standing behind it, this Glen Ridge bathroom finally matches the timeless character of the home it sits in.
Floating Vanity Bathroom Renovation in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
Location
Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey
Project Description
When a homeowner asks you back for a second bathroom, you know the first one went right. Having already rebuilt the Bruntons’ larger bath in this Hasbrouck Heights, NJ home, The Powder Room Guys returned to reinvent a smaller, dated secondary bath — one still wrapped in tired tan tile, with a bulky pedestal sink and a cramped linen closet eating into the floor space.
This time the goal was clean, airy, and space-smart. We took the room down to the studs, removed the old pedestal and closet, and opened the footprint with a wall-mounted floating vanity that keeps the floor visible and the room feeling larger. A new pocket door replaced the swing door to win back space, and the window was finished with crisp picture-frame trim for a tailored look.
The showpiece is underfoot: a fully curbless shower with no lip to step over, where the tiled floor runs seamlessly into the wet area. Achieving that flush transition meant recessing the subfloor and sealing the entire base against water before a single tile went down. Warm neutral walls, a round wood-framed mirror, and a soft hexagon floor keep everything simple and timeless.
This second Brunton bathroom is backed by the same BBB A+ rating, EPA Lead-Safe certification, 55+ five-star reviews, and three-year warranty as the first — proof that good work earns the next job.
Modern Black & Gold Bathroom Renovation in Union, NJ
Location
Union, New Jersey
Project Description
Black, white, and warm gold — that’s the palette that turned this dated Union, NJ bathroom into something that feels custom. The original room was dark and closed-in, with heavy espresso cabinetry, taupe wall tile, and a busy speckled floor. The homeowner wanted the opposite: bright, modern, and a little bit glam.
Renovating bathrooms is the only thing our crew does, and a full-gut project like this is where that focus pays off. We stripped the old plaster, wire mesh, and lathe down to the studs — typical of Union’s older homes — and rebuilt the room from the framing out. To pull more daylight into the space, we even cut a brand-new window opening into the shower wall, closed up the original one, and re-sided the exterior to match.
From there the design took over: large-format white tile climbing the tub and shower walls, brushed-gold fixtures with a matching hand shower, a sleek black vanity topped with white quartz, a backlit LED mirror, and a herringbone-tiled niche for contrast. The wet walls were built on Hardi-cement board and Schluter waterproofing to handle years of daily use.
With our BBB A+ rating, EPA Lead-Safe certification, 55+ five-star reviews, and a three-year workmanship warranty behind every job, this Union renovation turned a tired, boxed-in bath into a bright, modern standout.
