Standard Finishing Enhancements
A Surface Level Upgrade is the ideal option for Bellevue homeowners who want to refresh their bathroom’s appearance without altering its structure. This budget-friendly remodel focuses on upgrading finishes while keeping the current layout and plumbing in place. It’s perfect for those who want an updated look with new countertops, modern fixtures, stylish surfaces, and bathroom cabinets without the hassle of a full renovation.
Moderate Restroom Renovation
A Pull and Replace remodel is a step beyond cosmetic updates. This renovation removes everything down to the studs and installs brand-new fixtures, vanities, flooring, and tile work, all while keeping the original plumbing locations intact. This option is great for homeowners in Bellevue who like their bathroom’s current layout but want a fresh, modern update with high-quality materials and a refined finish.
Fully Custom Personalized Handcrafted Bathroom
For those seeking a one-of-a-kind, luxury bathroom remodel, a Signature Custom Build offers total flexibility in design, layout, and materials. This remodel allows for expanding the space, reconfiguring plumbing, and incorporating high-end features like heated floors, a steam shower, and premium stone finishes. Designed to fit your lifestyle, this option brings spa-like comfort and elegance to your Bellevue home.
The material and labor costs significantly impact your bathroom remodel cost. For example, LVP flooring is more budget-friendly than tile flooring, which requires more labor and materials. Similarly, opting for quartz countertops over natural stone or prefabricated vanities instead of custom-built cabinetry can save thousands while still achieving a stylish look.
Altering the bathroom layout increases the complexity and total cost of a bathroom remodel. Expanding the shower size, removing walls, or relocating plumbing fixtures requires additional construction, plumbing rerouting, and permitting. Keeping the existing layout intact helps control costs while still allowing for aesthetic upgrades.
Upgrading to high-end features can add a spa-like experience but also increases bathroom remodeling costs:
Older bathrooms may need plumbing and electrical system upgrades to meet current building codes. Adding new lighting fixtures, outlets, or a ventilation system increases the bathroom renovation cost. Similarly, moving plumbing lines for a relocated shower, tub, or vanity requires additional labor and materials, increasing expenses.
If your remodel involves structural modifications, electrical work, or major plumbing changes, you’ll need city permits and inspections. These costs vary but are essential for ensuring safety and compliance with local regulations. Skipping permits can lead to fines or difficulties when selling your home.

Please feel free to call. But here are some frequently asked questions we get.
A bathroom remodel cost typically ranges from $30,000 to $150,000+, depending on the size, materials, layout changes, and level of customization. A basic refresh with minimal updates will be on the lower end, while a full bathroom remodel with custom finishes, high-end fixtures, and major structural changes can significantly increase the cost.
Yes! Expanding your master bathroom can be done by moving walls, reconfiguring adjacent rooms, or even repurposing closet space. However, expanding may require additional plumbing, electrical work, and permits, which can impact your total bathroom remodel cost.
Absolutely! We can remove the existing bathtub, modify the plumbing, and install a custom tile shower pan and walls. This upgrade enhances accessibility and modernizes your bathroom while increasing home value.
Yes! We use custom glass shower doors that can be fabricated and cut to virtually any size. Whether you prefer frameless, sliding, or hinged shower doors, we tailor them to your space for a sleek and luxurious look.
Material selection significantly affects bathroom remodeling costs. High-end materials like marble, quartz, and custom cabinetry drive up expenses, while budget-friendly alternatives like ceramic tile, laminate countertops, and prefabricated vanities help control costs. Choosing durable, water-resistant materials is key to balancing quality and budget.
To reduce your bathroom renovation costs, consider:
1. Keeping the existing layout to avoid expensive plumbing or electrical modifications.
2. Choosing stock or semi-custom vanities instead of fully custom-built options.
3. Opting for cost-effective materials like ceramic tile instead of natural stone.
4. Refinishing or repainting cabinets instead of replacing them.
5. Shopping for fixtures during sales to save on faucets, lighting, and accessories.
Unforeseen costs can arise, so it's important to budget for unexpected expenses, including:
Water damage or mold remediation found during demolition.
Permit fees required for plumbing and electrical updates.
Structural repairs if walls or floors need reinforcement.
Older home complications, such as outdated wiring or asbestos removal.
Material price fluctuations, which can impact the final bathroom remodel price.
Labor costs typically make up 40% to 60% of the total bathroom remodel cost. The more complex the project, the higher the labor costs. Skilled tasks like plumbing, electrical work, and tile installation require specialized professionals, increasing expenses. For example, a $20,000 remodel may have labor costs between $8,000 and $12,000. Choosing high-end materials can also drive up costs due to the precision and expertise required for installation.
Bathroom size plays a major role in determining overall bathroom renovation cost. Larger bathrooms require more materials, labor, and time, leading to higher expenses. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect based on your bathroom’s size:
Small Bathroom Remodel (5x7 ft)
Estimated cost: $3,000 – $10,000
Typical upgrades: New fixtures, fresh paint, flooring replacement
Labor costs: $1,500 – $3,000
Medium Bathroom Remodel (10x10 ft)
Estimated cost: $10,000 – $25,000
Typical upgrades: New vanity, updated tiles, new tub or shower
Labor costs: $4,000 – $8,000
Plumbing and electrical modifications require licensed professionals and often involve permits, rewiring, and fixture relocation. Moving a toilet, reconfiguring the shower layout, or installing new lighting can significantly impact the cost to remodel a bathroom due to the labor and compliance requirements.
Your bathroom renovation cost depends on the upgrades you choose. From affordable bath remodels to high-end transformations, we offer tailored solutions for every budget. Get expert guidance and a detailed price estimate!
