Bathroom Remodeling in Bellevue, WA
Bathrooms designed and built for Bellevue homes, waterproofed to last. Local pricing, permits through Bellevue Development Services, and an honest number on paper before demo.
The promise
A Bellevue bathroom remodel, waterproofed to last and priced before demo
We are a kitchen and bath studio, not a general contractor who also does bathrooms. You get a fixed scope and a real number before demo, a shower waterproofed as a system, the permits handled through Bellevue Development Services, and one licensed team start to finish.
Why choose us
Why choose us for your Bellevue bathroom remodel
01
An honest number, before demo
We itemize your Bellevue bathroom, set real allowances on every selection, and lock the number before demo. That is the difference between an estimate and a guess you are asked to sign, and it is why our Bellevue projects do not balloon in change orders.
02
Waterproofed to last, not just to look good
The leak that ends up in the ceiling below is water finding a path someone did not seal. We build the shower as a waterproof system, a sloped pan and a sealed membrane, before a tile goes up. It is the part you never see, and the part that decides whether the bathroom holds up.
03
We handle the Bellevue permit
Bathroom work that moves plumbing or electrical, or guts the room, needs a permit through the City of Bellevue Development Services Department. We prepare the submittal, pull the permit, and manage the inspections.
04
One licensed contractor, one contract
Design, permits, and the build under one contract with a licensed, insured Washington contractor (WA registration TKTK). You call one number, and the person who answers knows your bathroom.

Permits
Bathroom remodeling permits in Bellevue
Most Bellevue bathroom remodels that go beyond cosmetic need a permit. Here is how it works and how we handle it.
-
When a Bellevue bathroom needs a permit
Moving plumbing or electrical, or gutting the room, triggers a permit. A like-for-like refresh often does not. We tell you which you are up front.
-
Through Bellevue Development Services
Bathroom permits run through the City of Bellevue Development Services Department. We prepare the submittal and manage plan review and inspections so you do not have to. TKTK confirm current process and portal.
-
Permit timelines in Bellevue
Review times vary with scope and the city queue. We build the permit window into your bathroom schedule and flag it early. TKTK typical review windows.
Local homes
Bathroom remodeling for Bellevue homes
Bellevue bathrooms come with Bellevue quirks. These are the local realities we plan around.
-
Older Eastside bathrooms and hidden damage
Decades-old bathrooms in Bridle Trails, Somerset, and Woodridge often hide rot or old leaks behind the tile that only show once we open the wall. We plan and budget for what we tend to find.
-
Small mid-century bathrooms
Split-level homes in Lake Hills and Woodridge come with tight bathrooms where layout matters more than finishes. We plan clearances, storage, and light to make a small room work harder.
-
Curbless and aging in place
Zero-threshold showers and grab-bar blocking are popular in Bellevue, both for aging in place and for resale. We build the pan and waterproofing to make curbless watertight.
-
Old plumbing behind the wall
Many Eastside homes still have galvanized supply or cast iron drains that are best updated while the bathroom is open. We check and tell you before it becomes a surprise.

FAQ
Bellevue bathroom remodeling FAQs
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Bellevue?
If you move plumbing or electrical, or gut the room, yes, through the City of Bellevue Development Services Department. A like-for-like refresh often does not. We pull the permit on anything that needs one and manage the inspections.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Bellevue?
It depends on the level, from a refresh to a full curbless gut, and on your finishes. Rather than quote a Bellevue average, we price against your actual bathroom and lock the number before demo. Send the form for a free written estimate. TKTK local cost ranges.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in or curbless shower?
Yes, and it is one of the most common Bellevue bathroom projects we do. A curbless, zero-threshold entry is very doable with the right pan and waterproofing. We will tell you what your floor and drain allow.
How do you make sure the shower will not leak?
We build the shower as a waterproof system, a sloped pan and a sealed membrane behind the tile, and we do not skip the steps that do not show. Leaks come from shortcuts behind the wall, so that is exactly where we do not take them.
Can you remodel a small mid-century bathroom?
Yes, and small bathrooms are most of what gets remodeled in Bellevue split-levels. Layout matters more there than anywhere, so we plan clearances, storage, and light to make a tight room feel and function bigger.
What Bellevue neighborhoods do you work in?
All of them, from Bridle Trails and Somerset to Woodridge, Lake Hills, Crossroads, and West Bellevue. TKTK confirm the full service area.
