Bathroom Remodeling in Kenmore, NY

Kenmore's historic architecture (median build year 1938) features Victorian, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival details worth preserving. In bathrooms, we salvage and refinish original pedestal sinks and cast iron tubs, preserve or replicate original tile patterns and wainscoting, restore leaded or stained glass windows, maintain original hardwood floors where possible, use period-appropriate fixtures and hardware, and preserve architectural details like crown molding and beadboard. This sensitivity to history is why Kenmore was named one of America's 'Top 10 Great Neighborhoods' - we protect what makes it special.

Pre-WWII Kenmore homes (median 1938) often have knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized steel plumbing, lath-and-plaster walls, and cast iron drain systems - all 80+ years old. In bathrooms, we find corroded supply pipes restricting water flow, cast iron drains with cracks and bellied sections, outdated connections incompatible with modern fixtures, inadequate venting, and lead concerns. We replace these systems completely with modern copper or PEX plumbing, PVC drains, code-compliant venting, and water-saving fixtures - ensuring safety and reliability for decades in Buffalo's First Suburb.

Yes. With 30% of Kenmore homes being two-family structures and American Foursquares, bathroom configurations are often challenging. We can add separate bathrooms for each unit, reconfigure shared bathrooms into private ones, convert bedrooms or closets into full or half baths, and finish attic or basement spaces for additional bathrooms. This improves functionality for multi-generational families, increases rental income potential, and adds significant value. We handle all permits and ensure compliance with Kenmore's dense urban setting (11,437 people per square mile).
