South Boston Bathroom Remodel

A Fresh Start for a Newlywed Couple


Bathroom remodeling in South Boston is all about blending historic charm with modern comfort, and this Southie project for a newlywed couple did exactly that.

South Boston Bathroom Remodel

South Boston bathroom makeover

For this primary bathroom, the homeowners were dreaming of a bright, calming retreat that actually worked for their day-to-day life. The existing jacuzzi tub had stopped functioning, so as luxurious as it once seemed, it was first on the chopping block along with the tired color palette.


Smart layout, better details

The original layout was already the most functional use of the space, so instead of moving walls or plumbing, the focus stayed on finishes and carpentry details. Keeping a bathroom layout the same is a common strategy in bathroom remodeling in South Boston because it helps control costs and timelines while still delivering a dramatic visual upgrade.

Custom vanity and new tub

A custom vanity brought in storage tailored to the couple’s needs and gave the room a high-end, built-in look that suits South Boston’s compact homes. A beautiful new tub and updated fixtures throughout completed the spa-like feel that many Boston-area homeowners are now seeking in their bathroom remodels.

A four-week transformation

From demolition to final punch list, this South Boston bathroom remodeling project wrapped in just four weeks, minimizing disruption for the newlyweds. Months later, they are still just as in love with their refreshed Southie retreat as the day it was completed, proving the impact thoughtful design and finish carpentry can have on everyday living.

At A-Z Finish Carpentry, we love helping homeowners fall in love with their homes all over again — one project at a time.
