Your bathroom is one of the most used spaces in your home, but it’s often the last to get the attention it deserves. Maybe your tiles are outdated, the shower feels cramped, or you’re just tired of that leaky faucet you keep promising to fix next weekend.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. More and more homeowners are taking the leap and investing in a bathroom renovation in Delaware, and for a good reason. Let’s explore in this blog how All Angles Home Remodeling is contributing a critical role in this transition.
What’s Included in Our Bathroom Renovation Service
- Demolition
It is a common and often a necessary part of any bathroom renovation in Delaware, ranging from selective removal of parts to complete demolition and reconstruction, depending on the project needs and scope.
Doing demolition the right way helps avoid problems like mold or unsafe wiring later on. We make sure demolition is done safely and quickly.
- Plumbing
While the complete bathroom remodel almost always involves plumbing, even smaller updates that involve replacing fixtures or making minor changes to the plumbing system will still necessitate plumbing work.
Bathroom renovation in Delaware requires compliance with strict rules for plumbing, and we make sure all work follows those rules to prevent future problems.
- Electrical
Electrical work is typically not required on minor renovations; however, if the bathroom is significantly altered, it can necessitate electrical work to accommodate new wiring or outlets.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), “about 34,000 home fires are caused per year due to electrical malfunctions or failures, resulting in about 440 deaths and $1.3 billion in direct property damage.” (source)
We always use licensed electricians that ensure your home electrical system, including the bathroom, is safe and as per the current requirements.
- Fixtures
While some renovations might be more focused on cosmetic changes (like new paint or flooring), a complete bathroom renovation in Delaware almost always involves fixture replacement or addition.
Over time, fixtures can become worn, damaged, or outdated, making replacement necessary. Fixtures like sinks, faucets, toilets, and showers often need to be updated for improved functionality, water efficiency, or to align with the desired style of the bathroom.
We help you pick and install fixtures that look great and last long.
- Tiling and Flooring
Modern bathroom tiling in the USA is moving towards a combination of classic neutrals and warmer, earthy tones with an emphasis on texture, geometric patterns, and natural materials.
Slip-resistant flooring materials like vinyl, porcelain tiles, and sheet vinyl are getting popular, offering both practicality and style for high-moisture environments.
You can count on us for flooring solutions that combine style, durability, and compliance with safety regulations.
- Painting
Using mold- and mildew-resistant paints in bathrooms can significantly reduce their growth. These paints contain antimicrobial agents that inhibit mold growth, but they don’t kill existing mold or prevent new growth.
We apply premium finishes suited for high-moisture environments during bathroom renovation in Delaware, enhancing both durability and aesthetics.
- Vanity & Storage
According to Instagram, “over 55% of homeowners struggle with bathroom clutter. The SONAS Big Bathroom Survey revealed this statistic, highlighting that many homeowners find it a challenge to maintain a clutter-free bathroom.”
We can help you with high-quality vanities and cabinetry solutions that can keep your bathroom neat and organized.
- Lighting
In recent years, LED lighting adoption has significantly increased, with a substantial rise in sales and market share.
“Globally, residential LED lighting sales have grown from around 5% of the market in 2013 to 50% in 2022. The IEA—International Energy Agency—also states that half of the global residential lighting market now uses LED technology.”
We install lighting systems tailored to client preferences, ensuring energy efficiency and comfort.
Navigate the Hustle of Permits Easily!
Permits for bathroom renovation in Delaware are primarily issued by local municipalities and county governments. Each municipality within the state, including cities like Delaware City, Lewes, and Newark, and counties like New Castle and Sussex, is responsible for enforcing building codes and issuing permits within their jurisdiction.

Common Mistakes Made During Renovations and Our Assistance!
- Skipping Permits and Local Code Compliance
Even a basic bathroom renovation in Delaware may require a permit, especially for electrical or plumbing changes. Many homeowners don’t realize that unpermitted work can delay sales, void insurance, or result in fines.
We handle all permit applications and code checks for you. Our team stays up-to-date with every county’s requirements, so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork or unexpected violations.
- Poor Ventilation Planning
With Delaware coastal humidity, ventilation isn’t optional. Improper venting can lead to mold, peeling paint, or even structural rot – issues we often see during demolition phases in older homes.
We assess each bathroom’s size and climate exposure, then install exhaust systems with the right CFM rating to prevent moisture damage and meet EPA guidelines.
- Using Wrong Materials
We often find DIY bathroom renovations in Delaware using drywall or laminate in places where waterproofing should’ve been a priority. Wrong materials in a wet environment can reduce a bathroom’s lifespan significantly.
We only use industry-recommended materials like cement board, porcelain tile, and mold-resistant paint. We also offer waterproofing systems that meet modern code and climate standards.
- Underestimating Lighting Needs
Poor lighting affects not just function but also safety. We recommend layered lighting – ambient, task, and accent – especially for bathrooms used daily.
We design a complete lighting plan tailored to your habits. From vanity lights that eliminate shadows to smart LED systems, we make your space both beautiful and functional.
- Overconfidence With DIY
Bathroom renovation involves plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, structural integrity, and real risk. Most of the DIY bathroom renovations in Delaware require professional corrections later, often doubling the original cost.
Our licensed experts do it right the first time. With more than 27 years of experience, there is no room for error. Let us handle the technical work while you focus on the fun part – like choosing tile and finishes.
