Most bathroom remodels go wrong the same way

It’s almost always one of these three:

  • The estimate that creeps the moment the walls come open.
  • The crew that vanishes for two weeks at a stretch.
  • The finger-pointing when the designer and the plumber stop talking.

The fear of landing there is the real reason a lot of dated bathrooms stay dated for years — and it’s a reasonable one. It’s the thing we built this company to put to rest.

Devon bathrooms run higher-finish than almost anywhere else we work. The pre-1940 estate homes carry larger primary baths than the regional median — sometimes 150–250 square feet — and clients here specify at the top of the spec curve: custom millwork integrated into the room, premium plumbing fixtures, and specialty stone, on top of the replumbing a pre-1940 home almost always needs. So before you commit, you want straight answers — what it really costs, how long it really takes, and what it’s like to live through. That’s what the rest of this page is for.

We’ve rebuilt Devon bathrooms since 1989 on fixed-price contracts, with one point of contact who answers your calls — so the number is real before you sign, and you’re never the one chasing us.

What a Devon bathroom remodel actually involves

Most Devon bath work is one of three jobs, depending on the house:

Estate-home primary suites — the common one. 1900–1940 traditional center-halls, baths often already 100+ sq ft. Typical scope:

  • Frameless walk-in shower, tile to the ceiling — often body sprays, bench seating
  • Freestanding cast-iron or stone-resin tub as a focal point
  • Double vanity with custom millwork; recessed niches and integrated linen towers
  • Heated tile floor — almost universal at this level
  • Premium fixtures (Waterworks, Lefroy Brooks, Newport Brass, Brizo) and specialty lighting
  • Replumbing — almost always required pre-1940

Mid-century traditional & ranch baths — 1950s–1970s, smaller 60–90 sq ft footprints:

  • Layout reconfiguration to support a real walk-in shower
  • Full gut and replumb
  • High-finish materials, usually with less custom millwork than the estate tier

Post-2000 contemporary suites — newer construction with builder-grade tile and oversized jetted tubs; refresh-tier work to current materials.

The same crew, start to finish

The people in your home are our own carpenters — not subcontracted labor that shows up one day and disappears the next. It’s why the work holds up, and why homeowners keep telling us our crews are the most respectful, communicative people they’ve had in their house.

Cost ranges for Devon bathrooms

Bids for a project like this land all over the map — and the lowest one is usually the one that climbs the most once the walls come down. We’d rather hand you the honest range up front.

Devon bath projects tend toward the upper tiers, especially for primary suites.

TierRangeTypical Devon project
Bath Refresh$25,000 – $40,000Powder room or basic hall bath refresh
Full Bath Remodel$35,000 – $65,000Mid-century hall bath full gut
Primary / Master Bath$50,000 – $90,000+Standard Devon estate-home primary suite

Two dials set the price: scope and finish — and they move independently. Scope is how much work and how big the project is — a bath refresh updates surfaces and fixtures in place; a full bath remodel rebuilds within the room, often converting a tub to a walk-in shower; a primary suite is the biggest by nature, expanding the footprint and replumbing. Some of that is locked in — a primary bath is always the largest room — but finish is the separate dial: a refresh can still get Brizo or Waterworks fixtures, while a full primary suite can stay measured with Delta fixtures and a Tribeca vanity. Every shower, at any tier, is built on a fully-bonded Schluter KERDI, Wedi, or RedGard system. We’ll install whatever you spec — the brands below are simply the lines we reach for most.

Devon estate-home primary baths typically land at the upper end of the published range because of the custom millwork, premium fixtures, and larger footprints. The Primary Bath tier doesn’t carry a hard ceiling — fully custom Devon primary suites with integrated millwork and premium fixtures regularly exceed $90K.

The biggest budget drivers: custom millwork integrated into the room, premium plumbing fixtures, and specialty stone tile. A Devon primary bath with custom-built vanities, hidden medicine cabinets, recessed niches, and Waterworks fixtures runs $30K–$60K above the same square footage with semi-custom vanities and standard fixtures.

Aging-in-place additions are increasingly common in Devon primary baths. Curbless showers, grab bars (designed to integrate with traditional millwork), comfort-height fixtures. Adds $3K–$8K at any tier.

Selections

The vanities, fixtures, and waterproofing we install

We build from lines that hold up in a wet room — not whatever’s on promotion. Here’s what we typically spec, and we don’t take supplier kickbacks on any of it:

  • Vanities & cabinetry: Tribeca, Aspect, Century, Shiloh, Eclipse, and Great Northern — accessible to fully custom, plywood boxes, soft-close
  • Countertops: Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone, and Emerston quartz; marble and quartzite slabs from Imperial Marble & Granite
  • Plumbing fixtures: Kohler, Delta, Brizo, Hansgrohe, Rohl, and Waterworks — specified through Ferguson and Weinstein Supply
  • Waterproofing: every shower on a fully-bonded system — Schluter KERDI, Wedi, or RedGard — with DITRA-HEAT under heated tile floors

Our Design-Build Process

Expanded primary bathroom with frameless walk-in tile shower by Fedor Fabrication

Most remodels go sideways for the same reason: design and construction don’t talk to each other. The designer draws something the builder can’t actually build for the price quoted, and you’re stuck in the middle.

We use a design-build model — the team that designs your Devon bath is the team that builds it. By the time you get a contract, every line is priced, every spec is confirmed, and the estate-home problems other remodelers hit mid-job (corroded pre-1940 supply lines, an out-of-level subfloor under the old tub, the plaster ceiling below) are already solved. We sequence the work around Easttown Township’s inspection schedule and work cleanly into your interior designer’s finish plan if you have one.

The 8 steps, start to finish

  1. First Call — 15 minutes with Alex, the owner, to hear what you’re planning.
  2. In-Home Consultation — we walk the space and listen.
  3. Design + Initial Estimate — a concept and a real budget range.
  4. Selections & Refinement — every finish chosen before we build.
  5. Fixed-Price Proposal — every line priced; the number is real before you sign.
  6. Pre-Construction — permits, ordering, scheduling, staging.
  7. Construction — carpenter-led crews, one point of contact, weekly updates.
  8. Walkthrough + Warranty — closeout, backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty.

On schedule — and you’re never chasing us

“Nobody showed up for two weeks” doesn’t happen here. We block dedicated crew time and hold to it, with one point of contact who answers your calls and a live portal showing exactly where your project stands.

Reading reviews is the single best way to know what working with a contractor is actually like. We’d rather you read what our Main Line clients say in their own words than read marketing copy from us.

We used Fedor Fabrication to remodel our hall bathroom. They did a wonderful job. We were impressed by their design specialist who listened to our ideas and helped make them work within our budget. Their workers were great — always polite, efficient and very tidy. A friend recommended Fedor and we are so glad we had them do this job — we highly recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Devon?

Devon bathroom remodels run $25,000 to $90,000+ depending on scope. A powder room or basic hall-bath refresh starts around $25K–$40K; a mid-century hall bath full gut runs $35K–$65K; a standard Devon estate-home primary suite runs $50K–$90K+, and fully custom suites with integrated millwork and premium fixtures go beyond that. Devon projects tend to land at the upper end of each tier because custom millwork, premium fixtures, and specialty stone dominate here. The free cost guide above breaks every tier down line by line.

How long does a Devon estate-home primary bath remodel take?

Most Devon primary-bath remodels run 5–7 weeks of active construction once tile and fixtures are on site. The full timeline from first call to final walkthrough is typically 2.5–4 months, because a Devon estate-home project adds steps a newer home doesn’t — selective demo, replumbing pre-1940 supply lines, custom-millwork lead times, premium-fixture lead times, and Easttown Township inspections between phases. We give you a hard date at proposal and update it weekly in the JobTread portal so you’re never guessing where the project stands.

What’s included in your fixed-price quote?

Everything we can see at signing: design, all materials (tile, vanity, fixtures, hardware, custom millwork), all labor and trade partners (plumbing through our plumber, electrical through our electrician, tile, finish carpentry), permits, inspections, dumpster, project management, and the final walkthrough. The known estate-home work — replumbing, subfloor reinforcement, plaster ceiling repair — is priced in, not left as an allowance that balloons mid-project. The only thing that changes the number is scope you choose to add after signing, documented and approved by you in writing first.

What happens when you open a wall in a 1920s Devon estate home?

In a pre-1940 Devon center-hall we often find something — corroded original supply lines, an out-of-level or under-built subfloor under the old tub, knob-and-tube or early wiring, or old water damage. None of it surprises us; it’s why these projects take real expertise to run. We document whatever we find, photograph it, price the fix, and get your written approval before proceeding. No silent change orders.

Can you expand or reconfigure my primary bath footprint?

Often, yes. Estate-home primary baths are usually already 100+ sq ft, so the more common Devon move is reconfiguring the existing footprint for a real frameless walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and double vanity rather than expanding. On mid-century homes with tighter 60–90 sq ft baths, absorbing an adjacent closet or hall section is sometimes feasible; we bring in a Pennsylvania-registered structural engineer when a load path is involved, scoped and priced on the proposal rather than improvised mid-project.

Should I keep the old jetted tub, or convert to a walk-in shower?

Honestly, most Devon owners convert. The oversized jetted tubs installed in 80s and 90s estate renovations rarely get used, the motors fail, and they eat space a frameless walk-in shower would use far better. If you genuinely take baths, we’ll design in a freestanding cast-iron or stone-resin soaker instead — better than a jetted tub and much easier to clean. If you don’t, converting almost always improves daily use and resale. We give you our honest read for your specific room, not a default upsell.

Do you have to replumb a pre-1940 Devon estate home?

Almost always on the estate-home tier. On pre-1940 Devon homes the original supply lines and waste runs serving a second-floor primary bath are usually partially corroded. If we’re already opening the floor and walls for a frameless shower or freestanding tub, replacing them while access is open is far cheaper than coming back later. We scope and price the replumb before signing — never as a surprise change order.

Will the remodel damage the plaster ceiling in the room below?

Plan on some plaster ceiling restoration below — it’s nearly unavoidable when you replumb a second-floor estate-home bath. We include it in scope from the start rather than treating it as a surprise. Where the ceiling is original or has decorative plaster, we restore it properly rather than just drywalling over it, and we tell you up front which approach your specific room calls for and what it costs.

Can you do aging-in-place modifications without it looking institutional?

Yes — and that’s the case for doing it during the remodel instead of bolting it on later. A curbless walk-in shower, blocking in the walls for future grab bars, a comfort-height toilet, and a bench detail all integrate cleanly when planned from the start, and in a Devon estate bath we detail them to match the room’s custom millwork rather than the chrome hospital look. Built in at the framing stage it adds roughly $3K–$8K, and done right you’d never read it as “aging-in-place.”

What does Easttown Township permitting cost for a Devon bath project?

Permit fees through Easttown Township typically run 1–2% of contract value. On a $100,000 primary bath, expect roughly $1,000–$2,000. We pull every required permit, schedule the inspections around the production schedule, and show the permit cost as a transparent line item on the proposal — it’s never buried in markup or sprung on you mid-project.

Do I need to hire my own designer?

No separate designer needed — we’re design-build, so the team that designs your Devon bath is the team that builds it; nothing gets drawn that we can’t build for the price quoted (and we work cleanly into your interior designer’s finish plan if you already have one).

How will you communicate with me during construction?

During construction you get one point of contact who answers calls and texts, weekly progress updates, and a heads-up before anything becomes a problem, plus the live JobTread portal showing schedule, budget, and invoices. On a high-spec estate-home project, that communication is the difference between a manageable project and a stressful one.
