Why American Standard for Your New Jersey Bathroom?

For over 145 years, American Standard has been America's trusted name in bathroom fixtures—and for good reason. As certified bathroom contractors serving Monmouth and Ocean Counties, we've installed thousands of American Standard bathrooms across the Jersey Shore. Their combination of proven reliability, exceptional value, and water-saving innovation makes them the smart choice for New Jersey homeowners.

Whether you're planning a master bathroom renovation with American Standard's luxurious Serin collection, a budget-friendly small bathroom remodel with the dependable Cadet line, or a walk-in shower conversion featuring Spectra+ rain showerheads, Custom Kitchens & Baths by Lopez brings 50+ years of expertise to every installation. Unlike big-box stores that just sell products, we provide complete bathroom remodeling services in NJ—from design consultation through professional installation, waterproofing, tile work, and final finishing.

American Standard fixtures are perfectly suited for New Jersey's challenging conditions: Shore humidity, hard water, freeze-thaw cycles, and septic systems. Their Champion toilet line delivers the most powerful flush in the industry (proven to move 70% more mass per flush than competitors), making it ideal for homes with septic systems common throughout Ocean County. WaterSense-certified faucets and showerheads cut water consumption by 20-30% without sacrificing performance—saving the average NJ family $380+ annually on water and sewer bills. Our 5-star rating from 45+ homeowners reflects our commitment to quality American Standard installations. Ready to transform your bathroom? Call 732.984.1043 for a free consultation.

Why American Standard Excels in New Jersey Bathrooms

American Standard fixtures are engineered to handle New Jersey's unique challenges

Shore Humidity & Salt Air

The Challenge:

Monmouth and Ocean County homes near the coast face constant humidity (often 70-85%) and salt air that corrodes fixtures and promotes mold.

American Standard Solution:

American Standard's EverClean surface inhibits mold and mildew growth. Chrome and brushed nickel finishes resist salt air corrosion better than competitors. Ceramic glaze is non-porous and doesn't absorb moisture. We pair fixtures with upgraded exhaust fans (110+ CFM) and proper waterproofing.

Hard Water & Mineral Buildup

The Challenge:

NJ has some of the hardest water in the nation (10-15 grains per gallon in many areas), causing mineral deposits, reduced water flow, and fixture damage.

American Standard Solution:

American Standard's Easy Clean nozzles on Spectra+ showerheads prevent clogging from mineral deposits. Toilets feature fully-glazed trapways that resist buildup. WaterSense aerators have removable screens for cleaning. We recommend water softeners for areas with very hard water and install fixtures with accessible shut-offs for easy maintenance.

Septic Systems

The Challenge:

Many Ocean County and western Monmouth County homes rely on septic systems that require powerful flushing to prevent clogs and system failures.

American Standard Solution:

American Standard Champion 4 delivers the industry's most powerful flush (1,000g MaP score vs. industry average of 600-800g), moving 70% more mass per flush. This prevents septic backups and reduces pump-out frequency. WaterSense 1.28 GPF models use less water per flush, protecting septic drain fields from overload while maintaining performance.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

The Challenge:

NJ winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles that can crack inferior fixtures, damage supply lines, and cause leaks in unheated spaces.

American Standard Solution:

American Standard's vitreous china construction is fired at 2,200°F, creating exceptionally durable ceramics that resist thermal stress. Brass valve bodies (not plastic) in faucets and showerheads withstand temperature extremes. We install frost-proof fixtures in unheated bathrooms and ensure proper insulation of supply lines in exterior walls.

High Water & Sewer Costs

The Challenge:

New Jersey has the highest combined water and sewer rates in the nation, averaging $115-150/month for families. Old fixtures waste thousands of gallons annually.

American Standard Solution:

American Standard WaterSense fixtures cut water consumption by 20-30% without sacrificing performance. Champion toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush vs. old 3.5-5 GPF toilets, saving 13,000+ gallons per year per toilet. Spectra+ showerheads reduce shower water use from 2.5 GPM to 1.75 GPM, saving $380+ annually on water/sewer bills for average NJ family.

Aging Population & Accessibility

The Challenge:

New Jersey has one of the nation's oldest populations. Many homeowners want to age in place rather than move to assisted living ($4,000-8,000/month in NJ).

American Standard Solution:

American Standard offers Right Height toilets (chair-height for easier sitting/standing), Champion 4 slow-close seats (prevent slamming), single-lever faucets (easier than knobs for arthritis), and grab-bar-ready installations. We design <Link href='/services/accessibility-remodeling-near-me' className='text-primary underline'>accessible bathrooms</Link> with curbless showers, comfort-height fixtures, and safety features that don't sacrifice style.

Timeline includes demolition, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, tile installation, fixture installation, and final finishing. We order American Standard products in advance to avoid delays.
Does American Standard work well in Shore homes with hard water?
Yes, American Standard fixtures perform excellently in NJ Shore environments with hard water, high humidity, and salt air. Their EverClean surface on toilets and sinks resists mineral buildup and mold. WaterSense-certified showerheads and faucets have anti-clog spray nozzles. Chrome and brushed nickel finishes resist corrosion better than competitors. We recommend pairing American Standard fixtures with water softeners in areas with very hard water (over 10 grains per gallon) to maximize lifespan and minimize maintenance.
What warranty does American Standard offer?
American Standard provides industry-leading warranties: Lifetime limited warranty on Champion and Cadet toilets (to original purchaser), Lifetime limited warranty on faucets and showerheads (mechanical and finish), 5-year warranty on electronic components, 1-year warranty on seats and accessories.

American Standard vs Kohler: Which is better for NJ bathrooms?
American Standard vs Kohler comparison: American Standard offers better value (20-30% lower cost), superior flushing performance (Champion 4 moves 70% more mass per flush), longer warranties on toilets (lifetime vs 1-year), and wider service network in NJ. Kohler offers more design variety, premium finishes, and better smart toilet options. For most NJ homeowners seeking reliable performance at a fair price, American Standard wins. For luxury design and premium aesthetics, Kohler edges ahead. We install both brands and help you choose based on your priorities.
Can you install American Standard fixtures in my existing bathroom?
Yes, we can retrofit American Standard fixtures into existing bathrooms without full renovation. Common upgrades include: replacing old toilets with Champion or Cadet (same rough-in, better performance), updating faucets and showerheads (WaterSense models cut water use 20-30%), installing new American Standard vanities, adding Spectra+ rain showerheads. We assess your current plumbing, ensure compatibility with new fixtures, and complete installation in 1-3 days depending on scope. This is a cost-effective way to modernize your bathroom without major construction.
Do you stock American Standard replacement parts?
We maintain relationships with American Standard distributors throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counties for rapid parts availability. Common parts (flappers, fill valves, cartridges, aerators) are typically available same-day or next-day. Specialty parts may take 3-5 business days. American Standard's widespread distribution network in New Jersey is a major advantage over boutique brands where parts can take weeks. We handle all warranty parts claims and service for fixtures we install.
