Frequently Asked Questions

Bathroom remodeling is our main focus. We also handle tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in shower remodeling, bathroom tile installation, kitchen remodeling, basement remodeling and finishing, residential home renovations, custom carpentry and trim, flooring installation and drywall installation and repair. Because we do this range of work in-house, one contractor can handle a bathroom, the hallway trim outside it and the flooring that ties the rooms together. You can see every service on our services page.

It depends on the scope. A refresh that keeps the existing layout and replaces the vanity, toilet, tile and fixtures usually moves faster than a full remodel that relocates plumbing, changes the shower size or adds a new window or wall. Material lead times for custom glass, special-order tile or vanities can also affect the schedule. During your consultation we walk through the work room by room and give you a realistic time frame for your specific project, and we keep you updated if anything changes once we open the walls.

Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most requested projects in South Jersey, especially in hall bathrooms and for homeowners who want an easier step-in shower. We remove the tub, check the subfloor and framing, adjust the drain and valve as needed, install a proper waterproofing system and build a tiled shower with options like a niche, bench, grab-bar blocking and glass. Learn more on our tub-to-shower conversions page.

Absolutely. Small bathrooms often benefit the most from a careful remodel. In compact rooms, choices like a wall-hung or narrow-depth vanity, a glass shower door instead of a curtain, subway tile wainscoting, recessed storage and good lighting can make the space feel larger and work better day to day. We plan small bathrooms with the same attention to detail as a large primary bath, because every inch matters.

We install ceramic, porcelain, large-format porcelain, marble-look and natural-look tile on bathroom floors, shower walls, tub surrounds, backsplashes and accent walls. We also build shower niches and tiled benches. Good tile work depends on what is behind it, so we focus on flat, properly prepared surfaces, the right waterproofing and careful layout before the first tile goes up. See our bathroom tile installation page for more detail.

Yes. Along with bathrooms, we remodel kitchens and finish basements throughout South Jersey. Kitchen projects can include cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, layout changes and new flooring. Basement projects can include framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, trim and a lower-level bathroom. Many homeowners start with one room and come back to us for the next one. Visit our kitchen remodeling and basement finishing pages to learn more.

Yes. Fresh Renovations LLC is a licensed and insured home improvement contractor in New Jersey. Hiring a licensed and insured contractor protects you as the homeowner if something unexpected happens during the project. If you would like to see our credentials before work begins, just ask during your consultation and we will be glad to share them.

We have more than 10 years of hands-on remodeling experience. Over that time we have worked on everything from small hall baths to full primary bathroom remodels, kitchens, finished basements and whole-room renovations in homes of every age across Camden, Gloucester and Burlington counties. That experience helps us anticipate common issues in South Jersey homes, such as hidden water damage behind old tile or uneven floors in older houses.

We are based in Blackwood, NJ, and serve homeowners across South Jersey. Our priority areas are Cherry Hill, Mullica Hill, Berlin and Washington Township. We also work in Blackwood, Voorhees, Sewell, Turnersville, Marlton, Moorestown, Haddonfield, Mount Laurel, Deptford, Glassboro, Williamstown, Medford, Gibbsboro, Mantua, Harrison Township and Hammonton. See the full list on our Areas We Serve page.

Yes. Flooring installation is one of our core services, so we can replace the floor in the room we are remodeling or carry the same floor into nearby hallways and rooms. Luxury vinyl plank is a popular choice in South Jersey homes because it holds up well to moisture and daily wear, especially in basements and busy family spaces. For bathrooms we also install tile floors. Learn more on our flooring installation page.

Fill out the form on our contact page and tell us a little about your home and what you want to change. We will set up an in-home consultation to see the space, take measurements and talk through your goals and budget. After that visit, we put together a written proposal based on the scope and materials we discussed, so you know what is included before you decide.

Every remodel is different. The size of the room, the condition of what is behind the walls, the layout you want and the materials you choose all affect the cost. A price posted online would not reflect your actual project and could be misleading. Instead, we visit your home, listen to what you want and give you a proposal built around your space and budget. We are glad to suggest options that help you get the most from the budget you have in mind.

We accept debit and credit cards, PayPal, cash, check, Zelle, Venmo and Cash App. We will go over the payment schedule for your project in the written proposal before any work begins, so there are no surprises along the way.

Every project follows the same five steps:

1. Consultation: we meet at your home for an in-depth conversation about your goals.
2. Options: we go over layouts, materials and fixtures that fit your space.
3. Plan: we build a plan that suits your taste, budget and needs.
4. Construction: we show up on time and work to finish within the agreed time frame, keeping you informed along the way.
5. Final walk-through: we review the finished work with you to confirm everything is to your liking.

Yes. Straightforward communication is one of the things we care about most. You will know what we are working on, what comes next and whether any decisions are needed from you. If we find something unexpected, such as water damage under an old tub or framing that needs repair, we explain what we found, show you if you want to see it and talk through options before moving forward.

In most cases, yes. Most homeowners stay home during a bathroom or kitchen remodel. We set up dust protection around the work area, keep the job site as tidy as practical and talk with you ahead of time about water shut-offs or noisy demolition days. If you only have one bathroom, let us know during the consultation so we can plan the work around your household as much as possible.

Yes. Remodeling that fits your home is part of how we work. We listen to your ideas, look at how you use the space and suggest layouts, tile, vanities, fixtures and finishes that suit your style and budget. Some homeowners arrive with a clear vision and others want guidance; either way, we help you make choices that look good and hold up to daily use. You can browse our project gallery for ideas.

Many New Jersey towns require construction permits for plumbing, electrical or structural work through the local construction office. Requirements vary by town and by project. We help homeowners understand what may apply to their project during the planning stage so the work can move forward properly. If you have questions about your specific town, ask us during your consultation.

South Jersey basements often deal with humidity and, in some neighborhoods, a high water table. Before finishing a basement, we look at the space for signs of moisture and talk with you about what we see. We recommend materials that hold up better below grade, such as luxury vinyl plank flooring and appropriate wall assemblies. If there is an active water problem, it should be addressed before finishing so your new space lasts.
