Seattle Bathroom Remodeling Services

Seattle homes range from turn-of-the-century Craftsmans with one shared bathroom to modern builds with ensuites for every bedroom. Whatever your home and whatever your needs, we design and build bathrooms that make your morning routine better.

Many older homes in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Ballard, and West Seattle have bathrooms that have not been updated in decades. Original tile might be charming, but poor ventilation, limited storage, and cramped layouts make daily life harder than it needs to be. We fix that.

  • Custom tile work including floors, shower walls, accent features, and heated floors
  • Walk-in showers with frameless glass, bench seating, and multiple shower heads
  • Soaking tubs and freestanding tubs for primary bathrooms

Types of Bathroom Renovations

Different bathrooms have different needs. Here are the most common projects we handle.

Primary Bathroom

The full treatment: walk-in shower, soaking tub, double vanity, heated floors, and proper lighting. Your personal retreat.

Hall Bathroom

Shared family bathrooms need durability and storage. We maximize function in standard footprints.

Powder Room

Small space, big impact. A half bath refresh with new vanity, toilet, lighting, and finishes.

Accessible Bathroom

Curbless showers, grab bars, and accessible fixtures. Designed for safety without sacrificing style.

Most Requested Bathroom Features

Seattle homeowners tell us what they want most in their new bathrooms:

Walk-In Showers

Frameless glass enclosures, rain shower heads, body sprays, and built-in benches. Many homeowners are removing tubs entirely in favor of larger showers.

Heated Tile Floors

Electric radiant heat under tile makes cold Seattle mornings more comfortable. We install Schluter DITRA-HEAT and similar systems.

Double Vanities

Two sinks, more counter space, and better storage. Essential for couples sharing a primary bathroom.

Better Lighting

Layered lighting with vanity sconces, overhead lights, and dimmer switches. Good lighting makes grooming easier and the space feel larger.

Waterproofing Matters

The Pacific Northwest gets rain. A lot of it. Moisture problems in bathrooms lead to mold, rot, and expensive repairs.

We use Schluter KERDI and other proven waterproofing systems in every shower and wet area. Proper waterproofing costs more upfront but prevents thousands in water damage repairs down the road. We have seen too many DIY and cut-rate bathroom jobs fail within a few years because corners were cut on waterproofing.

Bathroom Renovation FAQs

Bathroom remodel costs depend on the size of the space, scope of work, and your choice of materials. A powder room refresh costs less than a primary bathroom renovation with walk-in shower and premium finishes. Every project is different, and we provide detailed estimates after measuring your space and understanding your goals.

Most bathroom renovations take 3-6 weeks. A powder room can be completed in 2-3 weeks. A full hall bathroom takes 3-4 weeks. Primary bathroom renovations with custom tile work and multiple fixtures typically require 4-6 weeks. Tile work and custom vanity lead times can affect the schedule, so we recommend starting the design process 6-8 weeks before your desired start date.

It depends on your household and your home. If you rarely use your tub, a larger walk-in shower can be a great upgrade. However, we recommend keeping at least one bathtub in your home for resale value and for bathing children. If you have multiple bathrooms, converting one tub to a shower is usually fine. We can help you think through what makes sense for your situation.

Yes, if you have another bathroom in your home, you can use it throughout the project. We work with homeowners who have only one bathroom too. In those cases, we stage the work to minimize time without a functioning toilet and can arrange for temporary facilities if needed for longer projects.

Porcelain tile is the most popular choice for bathroom floors. It is durable, water-resistant, and available in countless styles including wood-look planks. Ceramic tile is a budget-friendly option. Natural stone like marble and travertine looks beautiful but requires sealing and more maintenance. We recommend porcelain for most Seattle bathrooms because it handles moisture well and is easy to clean.
