Bathroom Remodeling Contractors South Jersey Loves
The remodeling process was really seamless. The first thing they did when they came into my home was lay down protective covers on all of my floors. They swept up after themselves.
Any tools that needed to be stored in my house were stored in a small area and stored neatly. Very respectful of my house, very respectful of me and they all did a fantastic job — I couldn’t be happier.
-Sue, Homeowner
“We had 2 bathrooms that needed to be remodeled while we were on vacation. Ayars did amazing work in a 10-day window of time. The staff, especially Eric and Chuck, were extremely helpful throughout and the work that was done by the carpenters is first class! Thanks again, Ayars!”
The entire Ayars crew from start to finish were wonderful! From Sharon, the assistant, to Ethan, Eric, Tom, and everyone in between, especially Josh. The process was so smooth and easy. It went so fast and I’m so grateful for the finished product! My bathroom is absolutely my favorite place to sit and relax. Thank you!!
What Is Your Bathroom Remodeling Goal?
A More Spacious Shower
Ditch your dark and dingy shower with a custom shower enclosure. We’ll open things up by removing old soffits and installing frameless glass shower doors, refreshing tiling and fixtures, and improving lighting and ventilation. Adjustable shower heads and handhelds with advanced volume and temperature controls allow for a totally personalized shower experience.
Getting More Use Out of the Tub
For many homeowners, filling a tub means draining their whole water hot tank — and a whole lot of time. Furthermore, getting into an awkwardly placed corner garden tub might require more maneuvering than you’re in the mood for. Bath people, we got your back — with properly sized plumbing lines, on-demand hot water heaters, and sensible bathroom layouts.
Bathroom Storage & Organization
Clutter is the worst enemy of cleanliness — and we often find that bathroom vanities are ground zero. Comfort-height double vanities are a standard of our South Jersey master bathroom remodels, with extra outlets at each end (no more wires dangling over sinks!) and plenty of storage and specialty drawers for all of your hair dryers, curling irons, brushes, and cosmetics.
A Bathroom Built to Last
Between heavy usage and the ravages of moisture and condensation, bathrooms take a beating. That’s why durability is a priority of every bathroom remodel we undertake, with special attention paid to ventilation and waterproofing . Robe hooks, towel bars, and wall shelving units are reinforced with solid wood blocking to hold up to the abuse of daily use.
Create a Master Bathroom Oasis
Give your home the spa treatment with the master bathroom you’ve always dreamt of, with distinct zones for bathing, showering, toileting, and pampering — big enough to share, special enough to keep all to yourself.
Overhaul Your Hall Bathrooms
A bathroom need not be big to be beautiful. Through clever design and craftsmanship, our South Jersey bathroom remodelers can vastly expand the functionalities and features of smaller and standard-sized hall bathrooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bathroom FAQs
It depends. A permit is required in New Jersey if the bathroom remodel involves moving water supply & drains, new electrical work, and structural changes, which may include adding windows or moving a bearing wall. Ayars pulls all permits required for each project as part of the standard scope.
Typical large master bathrooms are typically 100-120 square feet or larger. A functional South Jersey master bathroom accommodates a walk-in shower, a comfort-height double vanity, a comfort-height elongated toilet, and dedicated storage. A more generous master bathroom includes separate zones for bathing (ideally a freestanding tub), showering, toileting, grooming, and linen/laundry storage.
Pressure issues typically stem from the size of the supply lines feeding the bathroom. Sometimes old showerheads with hard water or calcium build-up may be the culprit. On occasion, something as simple as a new showerhead combined with an upgraded transfer valve increases both pressure and flow volume. Pairing these with a handheld wand and drop ell creates a fully customized shower. Precision temperature control and steam settings are additional upgrades homeowners often add during a remodel.
Prevent shower mold with three measures: vent exhaust fans to the exterior (never to the attic), run the fan for 60 minutes after every shower (timer switches automate this), and quality grout & silicone at all joints. A growing trend has been minimizing grout lines with larger-format tile. Heated floors that include the shower floor offer tremendous benefits in aiding the drying process, with some showers now being equipped with air drying systems to air-dry the shower in minutes. Moisture in a bathroom is inevitable; damage from moisture is preventable.
Capitalize on vertical space. Floating wall-mounted shelves, recessed built-in shelves, over-the-toilet cabinets, and full-height linen cabinets add storage without encroaching on floor space. A vanity with drawers and pullouts (rather than open-door cabinets with single shelves) roughly doubles usable storage in the same footprint.
Yes, but basement bathrooms require specific considerations that above-grade bathrooms do not — most notably, how waste exits the home. If the main sewer line sits above the basement floor, a macerating toilet or sewage ejector pump is required. Waterproofing, ventilation, and moisture control are also more demanding below grade. Ayars handles the full scope, including permits, plumbing, and finish work.
Yes, optional add-on bidet seats have become extremely popular. Fully integrated toilets with washlets from Kohler and Toto can offer an even more elevated experience with seamless integrations. Preset user settings, air dryers, and warm water are all common feature sets. Having an outlet (often dedicated) behind the toilet is a requirement.
We include specialty coatings on our shower glass. From standard glass kits to custom frameless showers, we always recommend these specialty coatings to help prevent the build-up of hardwater stains. Using a squeegee to wipe down the glass always helps, and we provide a specialty cleaner available at all major stores as a complimentary parting gift.
