Bathroom Remodeling in Kirkland. Local pricing, permits through the Kirkland Development Services Center, and an honest number on paper before demo.

Why choose us
Why choose us for your Kirkland bathroom remodel
01
An honest number, before demo
We itemize your Kirkland bathroom, set real allowances, and lock the number before demo. That is why our projects do not balloon in change orders.
02
Waterproofed to last
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
Designed for the space you have
Bathrooms are tight and inches matter. We plan clearances, storage, and where a curbless entry makes sense, so a small room works harder.
04
We handle the Kirkland permit
Bathroom work that moves plumbing or electrical, or guts the room, needs a permit through the City of Kirkland Development Services Center. We prepare the submittal, pull the permit, and manage the inspections.

Local homes
What Kirkland homes mean for your bathroom remodel
Bathroom Remodeling projects come with Kirkland quirks. These are the local realities we plan around.
-
Older bathrooms and hidden damage
Decades-old bathrooms in Norkirk, Market, and Juanita often hide rot or old leaks behind the tile that show only once we open the wall. We plan and budget for what we find.
-
Small older bathrooms
Norkirk and Market cottages, Juanita ramblers, and Rose Hill split-levels often 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 Kirkland, for aging in place and resale. We build the pan and waterproofing to make curbless watertight.
-
Old plumbing behind the wall
Many older Kirkland homes still have galvanized supply or cast iron drains best updated while the bathroom is open. We check and tell you before it is a surprise.

FAQ
Kirkland bathroom remodel FAQs
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Kirkland?
If you move plumbing or electrical, or gut the room, yes, through the City of Kirkland Development Services Center. A like-for-like refresh often does not. We pull the permit and manage inspections.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Kirkland?
It depends on the level, from a refresh to a full curbless gut, and on your finishes. We price against your actual bathroom and lock the number before demo.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in or curbless shower?
Yes, and it is one of the most common Kirkland bathroom projects we do. A curbless 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.
Can you remodel a small bathroom?
Yes, and small bathrooms are most of what gets remodeled in Kirkland. Layout matters more there than anywhere, so we plan clearances, storage, and light to make a tight room work.
What Kirkland neighborhoods do you work in?
All of them, from Juanita and Finn Hill to Totem Lake, Rose Hill, Norkirk, Market, Houghton, and Moss Bay.
