Free On-Site Estimate
We come to your home, assess the existing bathroom, identify any hidden moisture or structural issues, and give you a detailed written quote at no cost. No pressure, no guesswork.
Shower and Tub Conversion
Convert an outdated tub-only bathroom to a walk-in shower, or add a soaking tub where there was none — a popular upgrade in Seattle's bungalows and split-level homes that adds both function and resale value.
Tile Installation and Waterproofing
Precision tile work paired with industry-standard waterproofing systems that go beyond Seattle building code minimums, protecting your subfloor and wall framing from the moisture intrusion that ends so many Pacific Northwest bathroom remodels prematurely.
Pricing Factors
What Affects the Cost
Bathroom Size and Layout
A larger bathroom or one requiring a layout change — moving the toilet, relocating a shower drain, or adding square footage — requires significantly more labor and materials than a straight replacement remodel. The complexity of the existing plumbing and drain configuration also plays a role.
Hidden Damage in Older Homes
Seattle's older housing stock frequently conceals water-damaged subfloors, rotted framing, or deteriorated plumbing behind tile and drywall. The extent of this damage — which can only be confirmed once demo begins — directly affects how much remediation work is needed before new materials can go in.
Material and Fixture Selection
The range of tile, vanities, faucets, shower systems, and lighting available spans an enormous spectrum of quality and cost. Custom or imported tile, semi-custom cabinetry, and high-end plumbing fixtures will affect the overall project scope differently than builder-grade selections.
Plumbing and Electrical Upgrades
Homes with galvanized pipes, insufficient water pressure, or outdated electrical panels may require infrastructure upgrades as part of a remodel, particularly if you're adding a multi-head shower system or upgrading to a higher-amperage exhaust fan and lighting circuit.
Permit and Inspection Requirements
Projects involving plumbing relocation or electrical changes in Seattle require permits through SDCI, which adds both fees and timeline. The complexity of your specific project scope determines whether permits are required and what inspections will be needed before work can be closed out.
