Bathroom Remodeling
A well-done bathroom remodel is one of the best investments you can make in your home — and one of the easiest to get wrong if you hire the wrong crew. We've seen the results of rushed tile work and sloppy waterproofing, and it's not pretty. At Heritage Construction, when you hire us to remodel your bathroom, you're getting tradespeople who take the behind-the-walls work as seriously as the stuff you can see.
From a practical hall bath update in Bothell to a full spa-style master suite in Kirkland, we'll help you make smart decisions that fit your lifestyle and your budget. No upselling you on things you don't need. No disappearing after demo. Just a clean job, done right, with a team you can actually reach.
Frequently Asked Questions - Bathroom Remodel
What does a bathroom remodel typically cost in the Seattle area?
→
It varies a lot depending on scope, but here's an honest breakdown: a basic hall bathroom refresh (new tub surround, toilet, vanity, flooring) usually runs between $8,000 and $15,000. A mid-range full remodel with tile shower, custom vanity, and updated fixtures comes in around $18,000 to $35,000. High-end master bath remodels with radiant heat floors, custom tile work, and freestanding soaking tubs can run $40,000 and up. Material costs in the Puget Sound market have shifted in recent years, so we'll give you current, accurate numbers during your consultation.
How do you handle waterproofing in Seattle's wet climate?
→
Very carefully. Moisture management is everything in a Pacific Northwest bathroom, and we don't cut corners on it. We use industry-standard waterproof membranes behind all tile work and in shower pans, and we pay close attention to transitions, corners, and penetrations where water tends to find its way in. A lot of the bathroom damage we see in older homes comes from shortcuts taken years ago. Heritage Construction does it right the first time.
Can you convert a tub to a walk-in shower?
→
Yes, and we do it often — it's a popular upgrade throughout the communities we serve, especially as families age and accessibility becomes a priority. We handle the full conversion: removing the existing tub, reconfiguring the drain, building the shower base, tiling, and installing glass. We can also add grab bars, low-threshold entries, or benches if you need a more accessible design.
Do you work on small bathrooms? Ours is pretty tight.
→
Small bathrooms are actually where good design and skilled craftsmanship matter most. We work on powder rooms and compact full baths all the time — in older craftsman homes in Ballard and Queen Anne, newer construction in Redmond and Mill Creek, and everything in between. Limited square footage just means we get creative with layout and storage. We've seen some impressive transformations in very tight spaces.
