Joel Braun Construction remodels bathrooms for homeowners across New Jersey, from single-room updates to complete renovations. Whether you are replacing a dated tub and vanity, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, or rebuilding a primary bathroom back to the studs, every project is planned in detail before work begins and carried out by people who specialize in the trade they are doing.
A full renovation covers everything from demolition through final finish work: reconfiguring the layout where the plan allows it, replacing surfaces and fixtures, and rebuilding the room around how you actually use it. This is the right approach when the existing bathroom is dated throughout, when the layout no longer works, or when hidden problems are discovered once the old finishes come out.
Shower and tub work ranges from replacing an existing unit in place to building a fully tiled shower with a glass enclosure, a bench, and a recessed niche. Freestanding tubs, soaking tubs and combined tub-and-shower layouts are all common requests. The right choice usually comes down to how much space the room has and how the bathroom is used day to day.
Tile and flooring set the character of a finished bathroom, and they are where careful installation shows most: level floors, consistent grout lines, and clean transitions at walls and thresholds. We install floor and wall tile, shower surrounds, vanities, countertops, mirrors and storage. You can see more of our tile and flooring work across other rooms as well.
Most bathroom remodels involve more than surfaces. Moving a vanity, adding a shower niche, or improving lighting brings electrical and plumbing work into the project. Rather than treating those as afterthoughts, they are scheduled into the plan from the start and handled by tradespeople who specialize in that work, so the sequence runs in the right order.
Replacing a rarely used tub with a walk-in shower is one of the most common bathroom projects we take on. It usually makes a small bathroom feel considerably larger, and it suits households where nobody uses the tub any more.
A conversion typically involves removing the tub, rebuilding and waterproofing the shower base and walls, tiling the new enclosure, and fitting glass, valves and fixtures. Depending on the room, that can mean a curbed shower with a standard door, a larger walk-in opening, or a curbless entry with no threshold to step over.
Some homeowners remodel a bathroom with the next twenty years in mind rather than the next two. That usually means a curbless or low-threshold shower, blocking installed inside the walls so grab bars can be added wherever they are needed, a wider doorway, better lighting, lever handles, and a layout with room to move.
None of it has to look clinical. Done properly, these are ordinary design decisions that happen to make the room easier to live with. We do this work throughout Monmouth and Middlesex County, including the 55+ communities in Monroe Township: Stonebridge, Regency at Monroe, Greenbriar at Whittingham and Rossmoor.
No two bathrooms cost the same to remodel, and an honest number can only come from looking at the actual room. These are the factors that move the figure most:
Every project starts with a detailed proposal setting out the full scope, so you can see what is included before anything begins. Request a free estimate and we will price your actual bathroom.
How long a bathroom takes depends on the same things that drive the cost: the size of the room, whether plumbing or walls move, how much tile is involved, and how quickly materials arrive. Custom glass, specialty tile and made-to-order vanities often have the longest lead times, which is why selections are made early rather than mid-project.
Before work starts you receive a project schedule mapping out each stage, and the trades are booked against it so the job keeps moving instead of stalling between steps.

Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and strong project management is what sets the experience apart.
Rather than relying on one person to do everything, we coordinate a team of skilled professionals who specialize in each trade involved in the renovation. No single tradesperson is the best choice for demolition, tiling, plumbing, electrical and finish carpentry alike, so each part of the project is completed by someone with the right expertise. Careful scheduling and clear communication keep the work moving efficiently while minimizing disruption to your home.
Only a minimal deposit is required to get started.
Our dedication to craftsmanship, integrity, and client relationships is at the heart of every project we take on. Rather than accepting every job that comes our way, we focus on projects where we know we can deliver exceptional results and build a strong relationship with the homeowner. Our founder remains personally involved in every renovation to maintain those standards and make sure each project is completed properly the first time.
The trust our clients place in us speaks for itself. Many homeowners are comfortable giving us access to their homes while they are away, confident the project is being handled with care, and we frequently send photo and video updates so they can follow progress. Some return from being out of town to find the bathroom finished. We work with local homeowners and with clients living out of state, and we are licensed in New Jersey under #13VH066227600.

Answers to the questions homeowners ask us most often.
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most frequent bathroom projects. We remove the existing tub, rebuild and waterproof the shower base and walls, tile the enclosure and fit the glass and fixtures. Whether the result is a curbed shower, a wider walk-in opening or a curbless entry depends on the room and how it is framed.
Mainly the size of the room, whether the layout and plumbing change, how much tile is involved, the level of fixtures and finishes you choose, and what is found behind the walls once demolition starts. Because those vary so much between homes, we price each bathroom individually and set the full scope out in a written proposal.
That depends on the scope of the work and on material lead times, particularly for custom glass, specialty tile and made-to-order vanities. You receive a project schedule before work begins that maps out each stage, and we make selections early so the job is not waiting on deliveries partway through.
Yes, that work is part of the project and is planned into the schedule from the start. Rather than one person handling every trade, we coordinate specialists so the plumbing, electrical and tile work are each done by someone who does that work regularly.
Only a minimal deposit is required to begin. The full scope of work and the payment structure are set out in your written proposal before anything starts, so there are no surprises once the project is underway.
