Boston's historic homes deserve bathrooms that honor their architectural heritage. Our restoration specialists carefully preserve original clawfoot tubs, hex tile floors, and period-appropriate fixtures while discreetly integrating modern conveniences.
We source reproduction fittings from local foundries and custom-match historic glazes for tile repairs. For Back Bay brownstones and Cambridge Victorians, we design layouts that work within existing footprints while meeting contemporary needs. Every restoration includes climate-appropriate upgrades like heated floors to combat chilly winters and moisture-resistant finishes for humid summers.
