Lebanon families are finally remodeling the bathroom that came with the house.
You chose Lebanon for the historic charm, the schools, the sense of place a real downtown gives. Smart decision.
But the bathroom you walk into every morning is still the one that came with the house. Original tile from 1968, a fiberglass tub installed before you owned the home, galvanized supply lines, lighting that was never right for getting ready. You've updated the kitchen. You've finished the basement. The bathroom is the room that's been waiting.
A bathroom renovation is the upgrade Lebanon homeowners delay the longest and regret delaying the most. Master bath, guest bath, powder room, or kids' bath. Each one is the most used room of its kind, and the room that finally makes the home feel like it caught up with the life you've built inside it.
The challenge isn't whether to remodel. It's finding the contractor who knows what's behind the walls in a Lebanon home from 1962 and prices the plumbing replacement into the quote upfront instead of after demo.
Most Lebanon families tell us the same thing after we finish their bathroom: "I cannot believe we waited this long."
Here's what changes (click to explore):
You updated the kitchen ten years ago. You finished the basement. You replaced the windows. The master bath is the one room still stuck in the era the house was built. We bring it in line with everything else you have done.
Two sinks, real counter between them, and enough space that you and your spouse can both actually get ready at the same time. No more taking turns at the mirror. No more elbows in the back. The bathroom finally fits the people who use it.
A real walk in shower instead of the original tub-shower combo. Frameless glass. A bench. Real water pressure. Tile that does not look like it was picked by someone in 1972. The twenty minutes that start every day stop feeling like a chore.
Every guest uses the powder room. In a Lebanon historic home or older neighborhood house, it is often the room people remember. The renovation turns it from "I am sorry about the bathroom" into a small statement about the rest of the home.
Towels, products, styling tools, the things you have accumulated over twenty years in this home. Custom storage designed around what your family actually uses, not what fit in the stock vanity the previous owner installed.
Old bathroom lighting was designed for one bulb over the medicine cabinet. New lighting is layered. Task lights at the vanity, ambient overhead, accent in the niches, all on dimmers. You can finally see what you're doing. The mirror stops being a guess.
That's what a custom bathroom renovation gives you. Not just nicer tile. A daily experience that finally matches the home you have been making yours.
Lebanon homes deserve bathrooms beyond what came installed when the house was new. Whether the project is a clean update of an original 1980s master bath or a full historic home renovation, we build the kinds of spaces that turn the daily routine into something you look forward to.
From spacious walk in showers with frameless glass to multi function steam showers with body sprays. The shower designed around how you actually shower, not what fits a stock kit.
Radiant floor heating under tile or stone. Warmth from the moment you step in on a winter morning. One of the few upgrades almost no one removes once installed.
From a clean refresh of an existing alcove tub with new fixtures to a cast iron or copper freestanding tub as the centerpiece. Both work, depending on the space and the look you want.
Subway, herringbone, hand laid mosaic, large format porcelain, natural stone. Pattern and material chosen to match the rest of the home, not pulled from a catalog.
Task lighting at the vanity, ambient overhead, accent niches, dimmer integration, and proper exhaust. The combination that turns a dated bathroom into one that finally feels right.
Quartz or stone tops, dovetailed drawers, integrated lighting, soft close hardware. Designed around your actual products and tools, not stock cabinet dimensions.
Whatever the scope, the goal is the same. A bathroom designed around how your family actually lives, not a templated finish.
Not all bathroom contractors understand Lebanon's older housing stock, historic district requirements, or the city's split permitting process between City Planning and Warren County. Here's what to ask before hiring anyone:
Bathrooms are the most water exposed room in any home. Ask how the contractor waterproofs behind tile, what membrane systems they use, and how they warranty against future leaks and water damage.
Lebanon's permitting is unusual: the City of Lebanon Planning & Development Department at 50 South Broadway handles zoning approvals, but Warren County handles building inspections. Most contractors get this wrong. Your contractor should know exactly which authority signs off on what, prepare both submissions, and shield you from coordinating between two different offices.
Bathroom remodels in Ohio require licensed plumbers and electricians to pull their own permits and perform code regulated work. That is true for every contractor in Lebanon, including us. The real question is how actively your general contractor manages those trades. Schedule delays start when GCs leave subs to coordinate themselves. We work with the same trusted plumbing and electrical partners on every project, lock in their schedules during design, and stay as your single point of contact from first visit to final walkthrough.
Industry standard is 1-year workmanship warranty. Better contractors offer 5+ years. Ask what's covered: workmanship and installation quality. Note that materials carry separate manufacturer warranties.
Get detailed quotes from at least three contractors. Compare not just price, but warranty terms, timeline, and who's actually doing the work.
We've been renovating bathrooms in Lebanon and surrounding Warren County since 2021. We understand the unique characteristics of older Lebanon homes, mid century plumbing layouts, and the historic district considerations that newer subdivisions don't face.
Every Lebanon bathroom we renovate starts with your home. Its era, its character, your lifestyle, the way you actually want to use the space. A 1960s ranch master bath does not need the same approach as a downtown Federal style historic home. No templated layouts. No generic solutions.
We collaborate with you on materials, tile, fixtures, layout. Every decision intentional. The result: a bathroom that looks like it was always meant to be part of your home.
We visit your home, measure your space, discuss your vision, and provide a detailed quote. No obligation.
We create 3D renderings, provide design guidance, and handle all permits. You'll know exactly what to expect.
Most projects complete in 2 to 3 weeks. Daily cleanup, progress updates, and respect for your home.

Most of Lebanon's housing stock is from before 1990. That means galvanized supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, original electrical not always to current GFCI code, and decades of layered renovations behind the walls. We know what to expect, price it into the original quote, and replace it properly so the new bathroom lasts as long as the next renovation cycle.
Lebanon is the only Warren County city where the City handles zoning approvals (City of Lebanon Planning & Development at 50 South Broadway) but Warren County handles building inspections. We prepare both submissions, coordinate both authorities, and shield you from running between two different offices. Most contractors get this wrong.
Your bathroom isn't a template, and a 1962 Lebanon ranch is not a 1985 colonial is not a downtown historic Federal. We design every project around your home's era, your family's actual routine, and the materials and finishes that match the rest of the home. No two of our Lebanon bathrooms look alike, because no two homes do.
Serving Lebanon and Warren County since 2021. We understand Lebanon homes inside and out, from the the pre 1940 historic downtown to the 1960s mid century ranches on Drake Road to the newer subdivisions like Stonebridge and Hidden Forest. We know what is behind the walls in each era and how to turn an original bathroom into the room your family actually wanted.
Most master bath renovations in Lebanon range from $30,000 to $65,000. The cost runs slightly higher than newer construction areas because most Lebanon homes need plumbing replacement (galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains) and electrical updates to current GFCI code as part of the renovation. Powder rooms typically run $12,000 to $22,000. Full master suites with premium features (frameless shower, heated floors, freestanding tub, custom tile) run $65,000 to $130,000+. We price the plumbing and electrical replacement into the original quote so there are no surprises after demo.
Yes, in most cases. Lebanon's permitting is split: the City of Lebanon Planning & Development Department at 50 South Broadway handles zoning approvals, and Warren County handles building inspections for plumbing, electrical, and structural work. We coordinate both authorities, prepare both submissions, and handle inspections. You do not deal with either office.
If your home is in downtown Lebanon or the immediately surrounding blocks, it may fall within the National Register listed historic district. Interior bathroom work does not typically require historic review, but if your renovation involves replacing original exterior windows or vents that are visible from the street, additional submissions may apply. We confirm this during consultation and handle any required preservation reviews.
Most Lebanon bathrooms finish in 2 to 3 weeks once permits are approved. Older homes that need full plumbing and electrical replacement may take 3 to 4 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during consultation and price the additional work into the original quote.
In a Lebanon home built before 1990, we expect to. Galvanized supply lines, partially failed cast iron drains, original electrical without GFCI protection, sometimes asbestos in mid century tile mastic. We price the standard replacements into the original quote based on the home's era. If we open a wall and find something unexpected beyond that scope, we discuss it with you and get approval before proceeding. No surprise bills.
Yes. We offer financing through QuickBooks and Affirm with terms from 6 to 60 months.
