Seattle bathrooms are rarely simple. Much of the city’s housing — Ballard bungalows, West Seattle craftsmans, Beacon Hill four-squares — was built between 1900 and 1950, which means small hall bathrooms, out-of-level floors and plumbing that has been patched many times over the decades. Remodeling here is less about picking pretty tile and more about rebuilding the room correctly from the studs out.
That is exactly the kind of work we specialize in. Our crew has completed over 100 bathrooms across the Seattle area — including full gut remodels of pre-war bathrooms where the framing, subfloor and supply lines all needed attention before a single tile went on the wall. One of our recent Seattle projects, a custom shower with vertical green zellige tile and brass fixtures, started as a 1940s bathroom with the original cast-iron drain.

What older Seattle homes need from a bathroom remodel
Galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains are still common in Seattle homes built before 1960. If yours has them, a remodel is the right moment to replace the runs inside the bathroom — opening walls twice costs far more than doing it once. We check pipe condition during the free on-site visit and price the replacement as its own line in the estimate, so you decide.
Seattle’s permit process (SDCI) is stricter than in most suburbs: plumbing and electrical changes require permits and inspections, and ventilation must meet current energy code. We prepare the paperwork and schedule the inspections — homeowners don’t have to deal with the city at all.

Bathroom remodeling in Seattle — FAQ
?Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Seattle?
If plumbing or electrical is moved or replaced — yes, a permit from Seattle DCI is required, and inspections are part of the job. We pull the permits and meet the inspectors ourselves; it is included in our scope.
?How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Seattle in 2026?
In Seattle proper expect $18,000–$35,000 for a full remodel of a standard bathroom and $35,000–$70,000+ for a master bathroom with a custom tile shower. Older homes can add cost if framing or plumbing needs correction — our itemized estimate shows exactly where every dollar goes.
?How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Most standard bathrooms take 2–4 weeks depending on tile work, material selections and layout changes. We agree on the schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
?Do you provide waterproofing?
Absolutely. We use code-approved waterproofing systems on walls, floors and shower areas — the single most important step for a bathroom that lasts in the wet Northwest climate.
?Do you offer a warranty?
Yes — a written 5-year workmanship warranty on the repairs we can service directly: cracked or loose grout, caulking and seals, re-setting individual tiles we installed, loose or misaligned fixtures and hardware, and shower/glass door adjustment. Everything beyond that is covered as provided by Washington State law.
