Bathroom remodeling with predictable cost and local code compliance

Seattle homes deserve bathrooms that balance function, durability and timeless design. Our work focuses on clear budgets, reliable scheduling, and licensed trades so the finished space performs for years.

What we do

We handle projects from initial planning through final inspection. That includes design coordination, materials procurement, licensed plumbing and electrical, tile and waterproofing, recessed lighting, and final finish carpentry. Every project has a single project manager who coordinates inspections and keeps the schedule on track.

Typical project scopes

Full bathroom gut and reconstruction
Shower-to-tub or tub-to-shower conversions
Accessible design upgrades (walk-in showers, grab bars, ADA-height fixtures)
Layout revisions to improve circulation and storage
Heated floors, ventilation upgrades, and LED lighting

How we price

We prepare itemized estimates that separate labor, materials and permit fees. The estimate explains which trades are licensed and which materials are sourced as part of the contract. Where possible we provide multiple finish options so you can choose the level of investment that fits your plan.

Permits and municipal inspections

Our team files required permits with the City of Seattle and coordinates inspections. We deliver the documentation you will need for resale or insurance purposes, including appliance and fixture specs and final inspection records.

Design collaboration

We work with your chosen designer or offer in-house layout reviews to verify clearances, ventilation needs and drainage slopes. The goal is a durable installation that meets code and minimizes callbacks.

Materials and finishes

We help compare durable tile options, low-maintenance grout systems, non-corrosive fixtures, and sealed cabinetry. If you prefer to select materials independently we will build the installation plan around your choices while making practical recommendations on long-term performance.

Project timeline

Typical full remodels run from several weeks to a few months depending on scope and permit timelines. Your project manager will provide a schedule that lists critical milestones like demolition, rough-in inspections, tile installation, and final punch list completion.

Why local matters

Local contractors understand Seattle building codes, weather impacts, and product availability. That reduces surprises and helps maintain a predictable timeline for permit approval and material delivery.

Client responsibilities

To keep work progressing, we ask clients to confirm finish selections and make timely payments according to the agreed milestone schedule. We also ask that pets and personal items be secured during demolition and wet work phases.

Frequently asked questions

Do you pull permits?

Yes. We handle permit submittal and coordinate all required inspections with the City of Seattle.

Can I stay in my home during a bathroom remodel?

Often, yes. Short-duration projects like fixture replacements rarely require relocation. Full gut remodels may make the adjacent areas difficult to use for a short period; we’ll provide a schedule and mitigation plan.

What warranties do you provide?

We stand behind our workmanship with a written warranty on labor and coordinate manufacturer warranties for fixtures and finishes.

How do you protect existing finishes?

We use protective coverings, dust containment measures, and negative-air setups where necessary to limit dust migration during demolition.

Preparing for a remodel — practical checklist

Confirm the fixtures and tile selections (brands and exact models).
Plan for alternate shower/bath access if the main bathroom will be unavailable.
Secure valuables and fragile items before demolition.
Arrange pet care or restricted zones where work is active.
Review the milestone payment schedule and signed contract.

Typical project cost ranges (Seattle area)

Below are ballpark figures to help you plan. Actual cost depends on scope, material selections, and permit requirements.

Minor updates (fixtures, paint, new vanity): $6,000–$12,000
Mid-range remodel (new tile, fixtures, modest layout change): $15,000–$30,000
Full gut remodel (layout revision, new plumbing, high-end finishes): $35,000 and up

Case study — mid-century bathroom update

One recent project converted a cramped bath into a larger shower-centered layout by moving a non-structural wall. The work required a plumbing rough-in, new electrical circuit for heating and lighting, and a full waterproofing system. The client chose durable porcelain tile and a frameless glass shower to maximize light. The project stayed on schedule because the critical fixtures were selected before demolition and the permit package was submitted early.

Maintenance and longevity

To protect your investment, schedule grout and sealant inspections annually, maintain proper ventilation to avoid moisture buildup, and address leaks promptly. Properly installed materials will perform well for many years; regular, small maintenance tasks prevent major repairs.

Accessibility and aging-in-place considerations

If you are planning for long-term use, consider curbless showers, lever handles, and non-slip tile surfaces. These modifications increase safety without making the bathroom feel medical or institutional.
