A well-done bathroom is one of the few rooms in a house that you notice every day for thirty years. We build bathrooms that age well — finishes that don’t date, tile work that doesn’t crack, drainage and ventilation that actually work in Cape Cod’s humidity.
Custom Crafted Homes has been renovating bathrooms across Cape Cod for over 50 years. Primary suites, guest baths, powder rooms, and the kind of full-floor reconfigurations where the entire layout changes. Same crew that does our kitchen remodels and custom homes — held to the same standard. We work this way in Dennis, Yarmouth, Chatham, and across the Cape.
What we do
- Primary suite renovations — often combined with closet, dressing area, or bedroom reconfiguration
- Guest baths and powder rooms — full gut, tile, vanity, fixtures
- Custom showers — curbless, walk-in, steam, body-spray, glass enclosure work
- Tile work — large-format, mosaic, stone, hand-set patterns
- Vanities — custom local builds, integrated stone tops, paneled drawers
- Fixture and hardware — high-end and mid-tier — we’ll honestly tell you where to spend and where to save
- Heated floors — radiant under tile or stone, especially worth it in a winter Cape home
- Ventilation that actually works — most older Cape bathrooms are under-vented, leading to mildew and trim rot. We fix that on every project.
What makes our bathrooms last
Bathrooms fail for predictable reasons: bad waterproofing behind tile, undersized ventilation, plumbing rough-ins done sloppily. Every bathroom we build gets:
- Schluter-Kerdi or equivalent waterproofing system behind every shower
- Properly sized exhaust fans with humidity sensors, vented outside (not into the attic)
- Plumbing inspected and brought to code, even if we weren’t asked to touch it
- Substrate prepared so tile work lasts thirty years, not three
Typical scope
- Powder room refresh (3–4 weeks) — vanity, tile floor, lighting, paint
- Full guest bath (4–6 weeks) — full gut, new layout, tile shower, fixtures
- Primary suite (6–10 weeks) — bath + adjoining closet/dressing area, sometimes with structural changes — often pairs with a home addition
- Multi-bath project (variable) — often run in parallel with a kitchen or whole-home renovation
Aging Cape homes — what to expect
A lot of Cape Cod bathrooms are tucked into spaces that were never meant to be bathrooms. We’ve worked in 1840s farmhouses where the bath is an addition over a 4-foot crawl space. In post-WWII Cape Cod cottages with cast-iron drains that need full replacement. We plan for what we’ll find, communicate clearly when surprises come up, and never bill change orders we didn’t talk about first.

Process
- Site visit — measure, scope, look at fixtures and finishes you’ve picked (or talk through options)
- Design + selections — layout, tile, vanity, fixtures, lighting
- Final estimate — fully transparent, with line items
- Build — typically 4–10 weeks depending on scope
- Walk-through and punch list
You can also see our recent bathroom builds or pair this with basement work if you’re adding a lower-level bath.
