Seattle Bathroom Remodeling

Bathroom remodel costs in Seattle depend on the size of the bathroom, the scope of work, and the finishes you choose. A primary bathroom remodel typically ranges from $80,000 to $120,000, while smaller guest or hall bathroom updates may start around $60,000. Projects involving layout changes, custom tilework, or expanding the footprint will be on the higher end.

Our free Bathroom Pricing Guide (crddesignbuild.com/content-offer/bathroom-pricing-guide/) breaks down costs based on actual Seattle projects, so you can get a realistic sense of what to budget before your first meeting with us.

A bathroom remodel with CRD typically takes five to six months from design through construction completion. The design phase runs eight to ten weeks, during which you’ll work with your designer on layout, finishes, and selections. Construction usually takes 10 to twelve weeks depending on the complexity of the project.

If we’re remodeling multiple bathrooms, we can often stagger the work so you always have at least one functioning bathroom available.

In short: it depends. In the case of new surface materials, it may be that each trade partner will get a permit for their work (electrical, plumbing, etc.). For more extensive remodels, a building permit from the City of Seattle may be required. Even projects that seem straightforward—like moving a shower valve or adding a new light fixture—typically need permits.

Our team handles the entire permitting process, from initial applications through inspections, so you don’t have to navigate the city’s requirements on your own. We stay current on Seattle’s building codes and know what inspectors are looking for.

CRD warrants its work for 24 months starting from the time we sign the construction agreement. As the warranty comes to an end we always reach out to clients to let them know in advance in case any last minute fixes need to be made.

Design build is a full-service approach to home remodeling that includes both the design and construction. The design-build approach tends to offer homeowners better efficiency, accountability, communication, and convenience for their home remodeling project.

Our design process is divided into three steps: Schematic Design, Design Development and Construction Agreement.

Your design journey with CRD will begin with the Schematic Design phase in which we learn more about your goals, take measurements of your home, and gather ideas. During a series of meetings, your designer and architect will get your feedback on initial floor plans and design direction. As we develop an ideal scope of work, you will then have the opportunity to review preliminary pricing at the Schematic Estimate Meeting. Open and honest conversation about budget tracking is the foundation of CRD’s proven process and will give you the confidence and clarity to move forward.

This is followed by a series of Design Development meetings, where you will further refine your design. At the Letter of Intent Meeting, you will review updated pricing and make the decision to move forward with construction.

Finally, at the Construction Agreement meeting, you will have the opportunity to review your final pricing and construction documents before signing a fixed-price construction agreement. From there, construction begins, and soon you will be enjoying your remodeled space.

The design process timeline will differ depending on the size of the project.

Prices vary widely depending on the area of the house being remodeled, how old the house is, and if any major structural alterations need to be done to the existing home to achieve the design goal.

We always ensure there is a separation in your home between the areas being worked on and the living spaces when your project starts. We do our best to keep dust and debris out of the living areas by putting up temporary walls between spaces.

A bathroom remodel can be tricky to work around if its the only bathroom in the house. You may need to relocate for the duration of construction.

If you work from home during your project, we will try to accommodate your schedule. We always recommend having open and honest communication with your production team to mitigate any potential issues.
