A full bathroom renovation means gutting the room down to the studs and subfloor and rebuilding it: new plumbing lines and shutoffs, updated electrical for vanity lighting and exhaust fans, waterproofing behind tile, a new tub or shower pan, vanity, toilet, flooring, and finish work. It's different from a cosmetic refresh (new paint, a swapped faucet, a re-caulked tub) because walls open up and code items like GFCI outlets, proper venting, and shower valve anti-scald protection often need to be addressed along the way. We list 48 businesses in Stamford that handle this scope, from small design-build shops to larger crews that run multiple jobs at once.
What to look for before you sign a contract
Check that the company pulls its own permits (Stamford requires them for plumbing and electrical work), carries current liability insurance, and gives you a written scope with an allowance schedule for tile, fixtures, and vanity. Ask who does the actual tile and plumbing work: some outfits subcontract everything, others keep trades in-house.
