As summer heats up, now is the perfect time to refresh your home’s interior—especially the bathroom, where comfort, utility, and beauty intersect daily. At Philly Kitchen & Bath LLC (PKB), we’re seeing a surge in seasonal requests across Roxborough and Northeast Philly for bathroom remodels that include not only new tile and cabinetry, but also water-saving solutions and efficient layouts.
This week, we highlight a recent bathroom remodel in Roxborough, where the homeowners sought a clean, modern look with long-lasting materials and thoughtful upgrades.
Before & After: Small Bath, Big Results
The original space had builder-grade tile, a bulky vanity, and dim lighting. After a full consultation and 3D rendering from our design team, we implemented a full remodel featuring:
🔹 Porcelain tile with a marble-look finish for timeless appeal
🔹 Floating vanity with under-lighting to maximize floor space
🔹 Curbless shower entry for a modern, accessible design
🔹 Matte black fixtures for a contemporary, cohesive look
🔹 High-efficiency toilet and faucet for reduced water usage
The client couldn’t believe the transformation—more light, better function, and a far more enjoyable morning routine. Our tile installers used a waterproof membrane system to protect behind the walls, ensuring this bathroom will stand up to Philly’s humid summers and freezing winters.
Why Tile Makes All the Difference
Tile is the foundation of a successful kitchen or bathroom remodel. At PKB, our tile installation team brings years of precision craftsmanship. We use laser-leveling systems, Schluter waterproofing technology, and grout sealants that prevent long-term staining.
Tile trends we’re seeing in Northern Liberties and Mount Airy right now include:
- Large-format tile to reduce grout lines and visual clutter
- Patterned ceramic for powder rooms with personality
- Matte hex tiles for high-contrast floors
- Textured subway tile for modern, tactile backsplashes
Sustainable & Stylish: Summer Bathroom Upgrades
Many homeowners don’t realize just how much water is wasted by outdated fixtures. According to the EPA, replacing a standard toilet with a WaterSense-certified model can save up to 13,000 gallons of water per year! That’s why every PKB remodel includes an eco-review: from low-flow faucets to LED lighting, we’ll recommend upgrades that reduce your bills and support long-term environmental goals.
