Bathroom remodeling in Denver, Colorado

Full bathroom remodels guest baths to primary suites

From compact 5×8 guest baths to sprawling primary suites, we handle the full scope: layout, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, vanities, and fixtures. Reworking a cramped layout relocating a toilet, widening a shower, adding a double vanity is one of the bigger cost and value levers, so we plan it up front, with the plumbing changes priced rather than discovered mid-project.

Tub-to-shower conversions and walk-in showers

Swapping an unused tub for a large walk-in shower is the single most popular bathroom project in Denver right now. We build custom, fully waterproofed showers a properly sloped pan, waterproof membrane, built-in niches, large-format porcelain or natural stone, and frameless glass not a drop-in kit. If you have young children or expect to sell to families, we’ll talk through keeping at least one tub in the home.

Aging-in-place and accessible bathrooms

For homeowners planning to stay long-term, we build in accessibility without making the bathroom look clinical: curbless, zero-threshold showers, comfort-height toilets, handheld and rain shower heads, bench seating, and critically blocking in the walls for grab bars now, even if the bars go in later. Adding the blocking during the remodel costs almost nothing; adding it afterward means opening finished walls.

Vanities, tile, and finishes

This is where the room gets its character. Denver baths in 2026 lean mountain-modern and spa-inspired: large-format porcelain for fewer grout lines, quartz vanity tops, floating or furniture-style vanities, matte fixtures, and often heated tile floors a real comfort upgrade for a Front Range February. Tile is usually the most variable line in the budget, so material and pattern choices are where we help you steer cost.

Building it right behind the tile waterproofing, ventilation, and code

A bathroom is a wet room, and most bathroom failures start where you can’t see them. We build the parts that don’t show as carefully as the ones that do:

• Waterproofing cement board and a waterproof membrane behind every wet wall, plus a properly sloped and water-tested shower pan, so moisture never reaches the framing or subfloor.
• Ventilation an exhaust fan correctly sized and ducted to the exterior (never dumped into the attic), which matters even in Denver’s dry climate, because moisture with nowhere to go becomes mold.
• Electrical safety GFCI-protected receptacles and code-compliant lighting anywhere near water.

These aren’t upgrades they’re code, and they’re the difference between a bathroom that lasts fifteen years and one that rots out a subfloor in five.

Our bathroom remodeling process from design to final walkthrough

We run a design-build process, which means one team owns the project from first sketch to final walkthrough. You get a fixed-scope proposal up front and a single point of accountability the whole way through not a designer pointing at a builder pointing back.

Consultation and design

We start at your home, measure the space, assess the existing plumbing and ventilation, and talk through goals and budget honestly before any numbers get thrown around. From there we move into design and material selections, then deliver a fixed-scope proposal that spells out exactly what’s included with clear allowances, so you’re comparing real numbers, not guesses.

Permitting and inspections

Bathroom remodels almost always require permits in Denver especially once plumbing, electrical, or layout changes are involved and permitted, inspected work protects your resale paperwork. We pull the building, plumbing, and electrical permits and schedule inspections with the correct authority for your address: the City and County of Denver’s Community Planning and Development department, through the city’s e-permits system, or the local municipal building department in the surrounding cities for example, the City of Lakewood’s Public Works Building and Construction Permits division. Colorado doesn’t issue a statewide general contractor license, so requirements are set locally, and the plumbers and electricians we coordinate are licensed through Colorado’s state boards.

Build and project management

A bathroom runs in a clear sequence: demolition and haul-off; plumbing and electrical rough-in; waterproofing and shower pan; inspection; tile; then vanity, fixtures, glass, and finish. We sequence and manage it so the trades don’t collide and your bathroom is out of service for as short a window as possible. You get a schedule and a project lead who answers the phone.

Final walkthrough and warranty

We don’t call a project done until you do. Every remodel ends with a walkthrough against the original scope and a written warranty on our workmanship.

What a bathroom remodel costs in the Denver metro

Bathrooms are the most expensive room per square foot in the house, because nearly every inch involves plumbing, waterproofing, tile, or electrical. In the Denver market that runs roughly $150 to $450 per square foot, and the wet area the tub and shower zone typically accounts for about 70% of the budget. Here are the tiers most Denver homeowners land in for 2026:

The biggest swing factor is whether you move plumbing: keeping the toilet, shower, and vanity in place saves thousands, while relocating them adds labor and inspection steps. A mid-range bathroom typically recoups around 60–70% at resale, and primary-bath remodels return more than secondary baths so it’s worth matching scope to your home’s tier rather than over-building.
