A bathroom is the one room where shortcuts show up years later as a stain on the ceiling below. I've been remodeling bathrooms in Monmouth County since 2004: hall baths, primary baths, and tub-to-shower conversions, with real waterproofing behind the tile, ventilation that goes outside, and permits pulled. Owner-led, no salespeople.

Hi, I'm Rob Crotzer. I've been remodeling homes in Monmouth County since 2004, and I'm the one who comes to look at your bathroom. On that first visit I'm checking the subfloor for soft spots and finding the vent stack and supply lines before we move a fixture. I'm also working out where the fan can actually vent outside instead of into the attic, and deciding how the waterproofing goes in before a single tile gets set.
Then I write the proposal myself, order the tile and fixtures myself, and run the job myself. There is no salesperson and no showroom between you and the person building it. That's how RSC Contracting has worked for twenty years. If the kitchen is next, it's the same me and the same crew.
Every bathroom I've been called in to fix failed behind the tile, not in front of it. So this is where I spend the effort, and where I won't cut corners to hit a price.
Most of these are decided before the first tile is set. They are cheap to fix on paper and expensive to fix in the wall.
Every job here is a Monmouth County house. Same standards underneath, different looks on top.
Same Hazlet hall bath, a few weeks apart. The waterproofing is the part you pay for and never see again, so here it is before the tile covered it.
I come out, measure, and listen. You get a written proposal that spells out the scope, the allowances for tile and fixtures, and the schedule. No "we'll figure it out as we go" line items.
Materials are ordered and on site before demo. Plumbing and electrical rough-in, inspection, waterproofing and flood test, tile, fixtures, glass. The work area is sealed and cleaned up every day.
Final inspection, a walkthrough with you, and a punch list we close together. You get the permit paperwork for your records, and my number for anything that comes up later.
Most bathroom remodels in Monmouth County run $18,000 to $90,000 or more. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $18,000 to $32,000. A full hall bath remodel, gutted to the studs on the same footprint, runs $25,000 to $45,000. A primary bath, often with a layout change, runs $45,000 to $90,000 or more.
These are working ranges for a full remodel done properly, with permits, by a registered contractor. Your number depends on the size of the room, whether plumbing moves, and what you pick out. If the plan also moves a wall or opens the bathroom into the next room, that becomes an interior renovation question and I price it together. I'll give you a firm written price after a site visit, not a guess over the phone.
| Project | Typical range | What moves the number |
|---|---|---|
| Hall bath, full remodelGut to studs, same layout, new tub or shower | $25,000 – $45,000 | Tile selection, tub versus tiled shower, glass, whether the subfloor needs work |
| Tub-to-shower conversionWalk-in shower in the tub's footprint | $18,000 – $32,000 | Curbless entry, custom glass, niche and bench, tile size |
| Primary bath, full remodelLarger room, often a layout change | $45,000 – $90,000+ | Moving plumbing, freestanding tub, double vanity, heated floor, stone |
A quote well under these ranges usually means no permit, no membrane, or a subcontractor you'll never meet. Ask what's behind the tile before you compare numbers. Buying a house with a bathroom like this? The pre-purchase estimate puts a number on it before you close.
"My bathroom remodel went smoother than I would have ever dreamed and they were done ahead of schedule. Now I have a gorgeous new bathroom to enjoy. They are trustworthy, reliable and super hard workers."

Victoria Z.Kitchen and bathroomThe shop is in Tinton Falls, so Colts Neck, Red Bank, Fair Haven, Little Silver, Shrewsbury, Oceanport, and Rumson are around the corner. The rest of the county — the shore towns, the bayshore, and the farms and developments to the west — is a short drive.
See every town we serve, by area →A hall bath is usually three to five weeks on site once materials are in hand. A primary bath with a layout change runs longer. The honest variable is lead time on tile, vanities, and glass, so I order everything before demo starts and give you a schedule you can plan around.
Yes. Plumbing and electrical work in a bathroom needs permits and inspections in every Monmouth County town, and I handle them. A contractor who skips permits is saving himself time, not saving you money.
Almost always. If it's your only bathroom we talk through it up front and plan the sequence so you're without a toilet for the shortest possible stretch, usually a day or two. The work area is sealed off and cleaned up daily.
Yes, and they're one of the most common jobs I do. A walk-in shower with a proper curb or a curbless entry, a glass panel or door, and a niche for the shampoo. Most take about three weeks.
Both. You bring the look you want and I bring what will actually work in the space: where the plumbing can move, what the layout allows, which materials hold up in a wet room. I'll tell you when a choice will cause a problem before you buy it. If the job needs a designer or stamped drawings, I bring in an independent interior designer or licensed architect I work with and coordinate them with the build.
My own crew builds your bathroom, the same people job after job. Licensed plumbers and electricians handle their trades. I plan the work and check it at each stage, and I'm the one who answers your calls.
