Bathroom Remodeling & Design
A Thoughtful Approach to Bathroom Remodeling
A good bathroom should feel comfortable, work the way you need it to, and be a space you actually enjoy using every day. From a beautifully detailed tile shower to the right fixtures and finishes, the design is what bridges everyday routine and a sense of real quality.
At David Hecht Custom Kitchens and Baths, we offer comprehensive bathroom remodeling and design services, guiding homeowners through the entire process with a single, experienced team of designers and highly vetted independent contractors. As a third-generation, family-owned business serving Connecticut and Rhode Island since 1957, we bring decades of experience and a steady, design-forward approach to every project.
Mindfully Designed Bathrooms
Bathrooms are smaller spaces, but the details carry just as much weight. Layout, lighting, how the room feels at six in the morning and ten at night. It all matters.
We plan materials, layout, and construction details together from the start, so each decision supports the next. Once the design is locked in, our trusted contractor partners take it from there, making your dream come alive right in front of you.
The whole process is built to keep things moving without surprises along the way.
Remodeling Existing Bathrooms & New Construction
Most of our work involves updating bathrooms that don’t reflect how homeowners actually live anymore. Awkward layouts, not enough storage, aging finishes, a room that just doesn’t feel right. These are the everyday problems we solve.
It’s more than swapping out finishes. We rethink the whole space, improving how it works day to day while elevating how it looks and feels. Layout changes, shower and tub configurations, tile,
vanities, fixtures — every piece is part of one cohesive design.
We also design bathrooms for new construction, working closely with homeowners and builders to plan the space right from the start. Whether it’s a remodel or a brand new build, the goal is the same: a bathroom that feels intentional and works the way you need it to.
A Collaborative Design Process
Every bathroom remodel starts with a conversation about how you use the space and what
matters most to you.
From there, we guide you through decisions on layout, tile, fixtures, vanities, lighting, storage, and finishes, balancing how it looks with how it functions and what it takes to maintain. Every design choice is made with the build in mind, so the project moves forward efficiently and with fewer unknowns down the line.
Our job is to make the process simple, give you clear guidance, and deliver a design that supports both daily life and long-term value.
Quality Materials & Attention to Detail
Bathrooms take careful planning and thoughtful product selection. Waterproofing, ventilation, and proper installation all play a role in how the space holds up over time, which is why we account for them in the design from the start.
From custom tile showers and vanities to lighting and fixtures, we pay close attention to how everything comes together. Each choice is made with both daily use and visual cohesion in mind, so the finished bathroom feels comfortable and well planned.
Our long-standing supplier relationships mean we can help you pick materials and finishes that fit your design without making the selection process a headache.

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
The questions we hear most often from homeowners across Connecticut – answered honestly.
How long does a bathroom remodeling prokect take?
Bathroom remodeling timelines can vary depending on the scope of work. Many of our projects involve a complete renovation down to the studs, including layout changes, plumbing updates, and custom finishes. Most bathroom remodels take approximately two months to complete, though custom glass enclosures and specialty materials can occasionally extend the timeline.
What is included in a full bathroom remodel?
A full bathroom remodel includes much more than updating fixtures. We guide clients through material selections and design spaces that are both functional and visually cohesive. We coordinate the remodeling process and work closely with trusted contractors, including plumbers, electricians, finish carpenters, tile installers, and flooring specialists. From initial design through final installation, we help ensure a smooth, well-organized remodeling experience.
Do you help with tile, vanity, and fixture selection?
Yes. We help clients select tile, vanities, fixtures, cabinetry, lighting, and other finishes that complement both the design and functionality of the space. Our goal is to create bathrooms that feel cohesive, practical, and tailored to each homeowner’s style.
Can I use my bathroom during the remodel?
In most cases, the bathroom being remodeled will be unavailable during construction. We work to keep the jobsite clean and organized throughout the process and help homeowners understand what to expect at each stage of the renovation.
Do you offer custom bathroom design services?
Yes. We work closely with homeowners to design bathrooms that improve both functionality and aesthetics. Whether the goal is better storage, a more open layout, a custom shower, or upgraded finishes, each bathroom is tailored to the client’s space and lifestyle.
Can you reconfigure the layout of a bathroom?
Yes. Many bathroom remodeling projects involve reconfiguring the layout to improve functionality, storage, lighting, or overall flow. We can help redesign the space to better fit the homeowner’s needs while coordinating any necessary plumbing, electrical, or construction work.
Do you build custom showers and glass enclosures?
Yes. We design and coordinate custom showers, including tile surrounds, built-in niches, benches, and frameless glass enclosures. Each shower is designed to complement the overall bathroom while maximizing comfort, durability, and functionality.

Options & Furnishings
Flooring
The foundation of any bathroom or kitchen update begins with flooring. From exotic hardwoods like Brazilian Walnut to luxurious marble, your flooring affects the overall aesthetic of a room.
Countertops
Both style and function is taken into consideration with your choice of countertops. Selections of natural stone, quartz, concrete, and butcher block are great options for an upscale look that sets the tone for your space.
Cabinetry
Fully custom cabinets allow you to really make your space personalized. Go warm and rustic or light and contemporary – we can create whatever you envision.
Sinks & Faucets
As arguably the most used feature in any kitchen or bath, stylish sinks with coordinated faucets exude your unique taste. Explore modern and traditional designs along with smart touches to enhance functionality.
Lighting
Light fixtures really set the ambience of a room and tie everything together elegantly. From recessed lighting to gorgeous overhead pendants, your space will feel both inviting and exclusive.
Hardware
The aesthetic of cabinets and drawers is enhanced by distinctive hardware that’s uniquely yours. Choose from oversized handles or opt for discreet integrated pulls to set the right tone – whether modern, traditional, or somewhere in between.
