Bathrooms in Newark's 1950s to 1970s Homes
Newark incorporated in 1955 and grew from about 1,500 residents in 1950 to more than 27,000 by 1970, so much of its housing comes from those two decades. Original bathrooms in these homes typically get new plumbing, waterproofing, showers and vanities. Axiom Renovation (CA Lic. #1105006) handles the full remodel.
