Bathrooms we build in Tosa
Much of Wauwatosa was built in the first half of the 20th century: bungalows and Tudor and Colonial Revival homes in the older neighborhoods, Washington Highlands among them, with postwar ranches and Cape Cods farther west. Original bathrooms in these houses tend to be tight, with a tub-shower combination and tile that has outlived its grout.
Because Generations has its office at 2222 N Mayfair Rd, a Tosa bathroom is close to home for our crew. Our bathroom remodeling page explains the service for the rest of the region.
Bathrooms in Wauwatosa
Your Tosa bathroom scope lists only the work you choose. These are the parts of a bathroom job we handle.
Curbed or low-threshold showers with tiled walls, built-in niches and a bench if the room allows.
A new tub and surround in the same alcove, for families who still want a bath.
Tile set flat and evenly spaced, with clean cuts at the tub, toilet and doorway.
Furniture-style or built-in vanities, mirrors and cabinets sized to your room.
Moving fixtures to make a cramped bath easier to use, with the plumbing changes that requires.
A properly vented exhaust fan that protects paint, grout and the framing behind them.
Vanity lighting, recessed lights and GFCI outlets placed where you actually need them.
Grab bars, slip-resistant tile and lower thresholds for anyone planning to stay in their home long term.
We talk through how each finish looks, cleans and wears before you decide.
Fewer grout lines on the shower walls, which means less scrubbing.
The look of veined stone without the upkeep of real marble.
A strip of mosaic tile at eye level that adds detail, as in the showers in our photos.
Hard-wearing vanity tops that wipe clean and do not need sealing.
Faucet, shower trim and accessories in one finish, such as the dark bronze on our tub project.
Recessed niches keep bottles off the tub ledge and out of the way.
In Wauwatosa's older homes, the price of a bathroom often depends on what sits behind the old tile as much as on the new finishes. Plaster walls, original drain lines and how far fixtures move all play a part.
Plaster and old walls Removing plaster takes longer than drywall, and walls may need new backing before tile goes up.
Fixture moves Leaving the toilet and drain in place keeps cost down. Moving them adds plumbing and floor work.
Shower or tub A tiled walk-in shower with niches takes more labor than a new tub and surround.
Finish level Tile size and pattern, vanity style and fixture finish each change material and labor.

Get my Tosa bathroom quoteAs a Wisconsin-licensed contractor headquartered in Tosa, we apply for your bathroom permits with the city and are there for each inspection.
Permits for Wauwatosa homes come from the City of Wauwatosa, not from Milwaukee County. City inspectors check plumbing, electrical and framing work before the walls are closed up.
Retiling in place or swapping a vanity typically needs no permit, while relocated plumbing or new circuits usually do. We apply for the permits and meet the inspectors. For the general rules, see bathroom remodel permits in Wisconsin.
