Bathroom Remodeling for Marlboro Homeowners
Marlboro is a township, not a town. There is no village hall and no city sewer under most of it. Homes sit on big lots along State Route 619 and State Route 44, the two roads that cross at the light by Marlboro Elementary. A fifth of the houses here were standing before 1940. Another two fifths went up between 1950 and 1979. Those are the bathrooms we get called about most.
The old ones have the original cast iron drain lines and a tub that has been there since the house was built. The ranches from the sixties and seventies have one full bath for the whole family, a fiberglass surround, and a floor that has been wet under the tile for longer than anyone knows. We open a lot of those up and find the subfloor needs to go. We plan for that before demo instead of finding it on day two and stopping to write a change order.
Joseph Evans runs every bathroom job himself. He is in Uniontown, one township over, so a Marlboro home is a short drive down 619 through Hartville. The first step is a fifteen to thirty minute phone call. You tell him about the room, he tells you the range, and only then does anyone drive out.

"I truly wish I could give this young man 100 stars. He is VERY dedicated to doing the job right. I could tell from day one that he treated this room in my home like it was in his own home. My husband and I have been do it ourself people for over twenty years. He is 100% disabled now but Joe took the time to listen and do exactly what I asked of him. My husband's smile when he saw the room finished was a true blessing. Thank you for the great job you did on this half bath that will now serve as bathroom and first floor laundry. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!!"

"Joe with Redeemed Contracting recently completed a remodel of our very outdated master bath. We were very impressed from the start - Joe met with us to hear our ideas, formulated a plan and presented a very reasonable quote. He was very responsive to any questions and ideas and had great communication throughout the project. We are thrilled with Joe's work and the end result, and will use Redeemed again. We highly recommend Joe and his team at Redeemed Contracting!"

What a Marlboro bathroom runs into
On a septic lot, and most of Marlboro is on septic, moving a toilet or adding a second bath means knowing where the tank and the leach field sit before we cut concrete. That is a five minute check that saves a ruined week. In the pre-war houses near the crossroads the bathroom was added after the house was built, so it is small, the drain runs the long way, and the floor is not level. We build a tile shower with a Schluter waterproofing system under it on those floors because a shower pan that moves is a shower that leaks. In the seventies ranches the question is usually whether to keep the tub. If it is the only full bath, keep it. If the master has a tub nobody has used since the kids left, that space is better as a bigger tile shower with a bench.
Common Questions
Bathroom Remodeling Questions from Marlboro Homeowners
Straightforward answers to what homeowners in the Marlboro area ask us most often.
What goes in the room decides it more than the room does. Tile instead of a surround, a heated floor, a glass door and the vanity are the four big movers. In Marlboro's older houses the drain line is the fifth, because a cast iron main that has to move is real money. Joe gives you a range on the phone before he drives out 619. The tiers are on our bathroom remodeling page.
We do. Marlboro has no village hall, so plumbing and electrical permits go to the Stark County Building Department at 7235 Whipple Avenue NW in North Canton, and we meet the county inspector at the house. Licensed tradesmen handle the plumbing, electrical and HVAC.
Moving plumbing, if the layout changes. On a pre-war Marlboro house that means cutting out cast iron and running new drain the short way instead of the long way it was run when the bath was added. If nothing moves, tile is the biggest line, and it is worth it, because a tiled shower outlasts a surround by decades.
If it is the only full bath, yes. A lot of the older houses out here have exactly one, and a tub matters at resale and with small kids. If you have added a second bath somewhere along the way and the original tub is now a shelf, that room becomes a bigger tile shower with a bench.
A fifth of the homes in the township were built before 1940 and another two fifths between 1950 and 1979. The old ones have the original drains and a bathroom that was squeezed in after the house was built. The ranches have a fiberglass surround over a floor that has been damp for years. We plan for both before demo so the change order never comes.
A tub-to-shower conversion is about a week. A full remodel is longer, and you get the schedule before we start. We do not leave a Marlboro job to go work somewhere else, and every material is in the house before the first tile comes off.
The phone call does not. It runs fifteen to thirty minutes and ends with a real range. If the range fits, we schedule a visit and tell you the consultation fee before it goes on the calendar. On a Marlboro call the one extra thing we ask is whether you are on septic, because it changes where new plumbing can go.
A bathroom is often the first room a Marlboro homeowner calls about and not the last. We also do kitchen remodeling in Marlboro, basement finishing in Marlboro, and home additions in Marlboro.
