Bathroom Remodeling in Bay Village, OH
Bay Village’s charm comes with quirks: smaller bathrooms, tight hallways, and plumbing that’s often been tweaked over decades. Many primary and hall baths still reflect earlier eras—narrow tubs, tiny vanities, low light, and limited storage.
Moffie Build Group remodels Bay Village bathrooms to feel brighter, more comfortable, and easier to use every day. We focus on smart layouts, efficient storage, and materials that suit older homes near the lake without demanding fussy maintenance.

Design Notes for Bay Village Bathrooms
Bay Village bathrooms are often compact. We use wall-hung vanities where appropriate, pocket doors, and carefully planned storage to make smaller rooms feel more open and functional.
We typically increase light through better fixtures and sometimes lighter surfaces, then add warmth with wood, brass/nickel tones, and softer paint colors so the room doesn’t feel cold or clinical.
We pay attention to trim, door style, and tile choices so the bathroom feels like it belongs with the rest of your Bay home, not like it was transplanted from a completely different style.
We prioritize proper waterproofing, well-sized exhaust fans, and good ventilation details—especially important in smaller baths and older homes that were not originally designed for today’s shower habits.
Planning Notes for Bay Village Bathrooms
Clarify Who the Bathroom Serves
Is this a small but important primary bath, a kids’ hall bath, or a guest space that sees occasional use? We’ll prioritize storage, shower size, and finishes differently depending on the main user.
Tub vs. Shower in Smaller Rooms
In tight Bay bathrooms, a standard tub can dominate the room. If you don’t truly need a tub, converting to a walk-in shower can make the space much more comfortable and accessible.
Storage Without Overwhelming the Room
We focus on vanity storage, recessed niches, and well-placed tall cabinets rather than filling every wall with cabinetry that makes the room feel cramped.
Ventilation & Humidity
We’ll evaluate your current fan (if there is one) and upgrade sizing and ducting as needed. In older, tighter spaces near the lake, good ventilation is crucial for preventing peeling paint and mildew.
Align With Long-Term Plans
If you expect to stay in your Bay Village home for many years, we’ll talk about subtle aging-in-place details that don’t make the room feel “institutional” but will matter later.

We remodel bathrooms throughout Bay Village, including:

We’re familiar with the quirks of older framing and plumbing in Bay homes and where it makes sense to rework layouts versus simply updating within the existing footprint.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Process
We start by walking your Bay Village home, seeing how the bathroom works today, and understanding what must change vs. what can stay.
We discuss possibilities: staying within the current footprint vs. modest layout changes, storage goals, and finish levels, then provide a budget range.
We finalize layout, tile, fixtures, vanity, lighting, and ventilation—making sure the design feels right with the rest of your home.
We handle permits with the City of Bay Village and coordinate plumbing, electrical, and any structural work required.
We protect adjacent areas, complete demo, rough-ins, waterproofing, tile, and finishes, keeping you updated with clear timelines and expectations.
We walk the finished bath with you, address any remaining details, and ensure everything functions and looks the way it should.
Typical Bay Village Bathroom Investment
Budgets vary by size, condition, and finish level, but many Bay Village bathroom projects fall into these ranges:
- Hall / kids’ baths: approx. $25,000–$45,000+
- Primary baths: approx. $40,000–$75,000+
- Powder rooms: approx. $15,000–$30,000+
We’ll prioritize what changes your daily experience the most—whether that’s a better shower, more storage, or simply bringing everything out of a previous era.

Bay Village Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
Can you improve our Bay bathroom without moving walls?
Often, yes. Better storage planning, improved lighting, updated fixtures, and a more efficient shower or tub can dramatically improve a small bathroom—especially in Bay’s older homes—even if the walls stay put.
Is it worth converting our only tub to a shower?
If it’s your only tub in the house, we’ll have an honest conversation about current and future needs (kids, grandkids, resale). In some cases, we recommend keeping at least one tub. In others, the safety and usability of a walk-in shower outweighs having a tub.
How long does a Bay Village bathroom remodel usually take?
Most hall baths run about 3–5 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Primary baths often take 5–8 weeks, depending on complexity and tile work. We’ll provide a project-specific schedule before we start.
Can you address old plumbing issues while you remodel?
Yes. In older Bay homes, bathroom remodels are often the right time to update aging supply and drain lines in the walls and floors. We’ll expose what needs to be exposed, inspect conditions, and handle necessary upgrades as part of the scope.
Will a new bathroom feel out of place in our older home?
It doesn’t have to. We choose tile, fixtures, and details that feel current but still respect the age and character of your house—so the bathroom feels like a thoughtful update, not something dropped in from a totally different style of home.
Do you help with design decisions?
Yes. We’ll guide you through layout and material choices, or collaborate with your designer if you have one. For more involved styling, we can recommend designers familiar with Bay Village homes.
