Remodel Your Bathroom to Function Better

Full bathroom remodeling in the greater Harrisburg area for homeowners dealing with outdated fixtures, poor layouts, or moisture problems.

If your bathroom in Carlisle, Camp Hill, Hershey or the surrounding areas has tiles that are cracked or stained, a vanity that wobbles when you lean on it, a shower with inconsistent water pressure, or a layout that makes the space feel cramped, a full remodel gives you a bathroom that works the way it should. Many older homes in Central Pennsylvania have bathrooms with small footprints, poor ventilation, and plumbing that no longer meets code. Dickerson Basements & More handles everything from minor upgrades to complete rebuilds, including moving walls, replacing plumbing and electrical, and installing new fixtures that fit the space properly.


This service includes removing old tile, vanities, tubs, and toilets, updating plumbing and electrical to current standards, installing moisture-resistant materials on walls and floors, adding ventilation to control humidity, and finishing with fixtures and finishes that match your style. Whether you are working on a hall bathroom, a primary suite, or a guest bathroom, the project is planned around comfort, safety, and moisture control. The result is a bathroom built for daily use and long-term durability.

What Happens When the Bathroom Is Rebuilt

Once the old materials are removed, the real work begins. In the greater Harrisburg area, the remodeling process includes replacing any damaged subfloor, running new plumbing lines if fixtures are being relocated, installing backer board and waterproof membranes before tile goes up, and adding exhaust fans that actually vent outside. Tile is laid with proper spacing and grout, vanities are leveled and secured, and plumbing fixtures are installed without leaks or drips.


When the project is finished, you will step into a bathroom with level flooring, walls that do not flex when you touch them, a shower or tub that drains properly, and lighting that reaches the mirror and vanity without casting shadows. The fixtures will operate smoothly, the ventilation will clear steam quickly, and the finishes will resist moisture without peeling or warping over time.


This type of remodel works well in both historic homes with small bathrooms and newer developments where the original builder used low-grade materials. The scope of work is adjusted based on what needs fixing and what you want to change. Plumbing and electrical upgrades are handled with proper permits, and all work follows local building codes to avoid problems during inspections or resale.
