Arlington is about 18 minutes from our Newton office (437 Newtonville Ave., Suite B, Newton, MA 02460, USA), with Two-families and 1920s colonials along Mass. Ave. plus mid-century split-levels off Pleasant Street. We see the most calls from Arlington Heights, Arlington Center and East Arlington, where housing stock is fairly consistent across blocks and our crews know the inspectors by name.
Arlington bathrooms come to us most often as primary or guest baths in a 1900s to 1950s footprint where the original cast-iron stack and a single-pane window are both due to be retired. The first 30 minutes on site are spent measuring the rough-in, photographing the joist direction below the floor, and confirming whether we are keeping the existing layout or moving the toilet.
Every wet area is detailed with Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing — the membrane goes on the substrate before tile, the curb gets pre-formed Kerdi corners, and the niche is built from Kerdi board so the entire shower envelope is watertight before the first piece of tile lands. We flood-test before tile on every job.
Construction runs 40 to 45 business days on site once permits clear, including a 5 to 10 day rough-inspection waiting period. Glazing and mirrors are fabricated only after tile is set and arrive last; they will not delay bathroom use upon main construction completion.
