What is included

Your bathroom remodel, start to finish, under one roof

One company from the first sketch to the final walkthrough: design, materials, permits, construction and warranty.

3D design on the showroom screen

Your designer builds your bathroom in 3D. Walk through it and change it until it is yours, then pick every material in person.

Free in-home consultation

We measure your bathroom and listen first: how you use it, what bothers you today, what you want it to feel like.

Tub or shower

A new tub with a tiled surround, or a tiled walk-in shower with a niche. Or we convert your tub to a walk-in shower.

Tile floor and walls

Daltile, Porcelanosa, Atlas, Conestoga and Best Tile, installed over proper waterproofing.

Vanity, top, sink and toilet

Vanities from the cabinet lines we sell, a vanity top, a new sink and faucet, and a new toilet.

Fixtures and finishing

Kohler, TOTO, Moen, Delta and more, plus the vanity light, mirror, paint and accessories.

Permits and inspections

We handle the whole permit process: the building permit, the trade permits, the scope, the county fees and every inspection. You never deal with the county.

Materials first

Every material is in our own warehouse before demolition. No waiting with a torn-out bathroom.

Two-year labor warranty

Every project includes a two-year labor warranty. Most remodelers offer one year.

Extras like a new exhaust fan are listed as their own lines. Your proposal lists allowances for tile and fixtures: choose something above an allowance and it is a change order; choose something below and you get a credit.

Bathroom remodeling cost

Bathroom remodels from about $12,500

A starting point from our sold jobs. Your design and selections set the final price, and every proposal is calculated for your home.

Hall bath refresh

From about $12,500

Same layout, keep the tub: new tub and tiled surround, tile floor, vanity and top, sink, faucet, toilet, light, mirror and paint. Small hall and guest baths start at about $12,500 when only the tub or shower is redone, and usually run about $22,000 to $45,000 for a full refresh.

Tub-to-shower conversion

Priced from your design

Your old tub out, a tiled walk-in shower with a niche and custom glass in.

Primary bathroom

Priced from your design

Double vanity, larger walk-in shower, frameless glass, a freestanding tub or heated floor.

Most of our bathrooms fall between $20,000 and $60,000+. Sena tells you where yours lands on the first call, and your proposal is calculated line by line for your home.

Shower glass

Custom shower glass, drawn and approved before it is cut

Made by our partner Always Glass & Mirror for your shower, not taken off a shelf.

Measured for your shower

Your glass is made for your shower opening. We share the drawings with you for approval before anything is cut, and the glass goes in near the end of the job.

Keeping your tub?

Bathrooms that keep a tub get a shower rod, unless you choose a glass panel or door in your design.

Bathroom remodel timeline

How long a bathroom remodel takes: 3 to 8 weeks of construction

Design and planning usually take 2 to 6 weeks before that, and permits add time. Construction starts once your design is final, every material is in our warehouse and the permits are in hand.

Standard bathroom: 3 to 4 weeks

Same layout: new tub or shower, vanity, toilet, floor, tile and fixtures.
  • Week 1: Demolition and rough-ins: old fixtures and tile out, minor framing and repairs, rough plumbing and electrical, rough-in inspections where needed.
  • Week 2: Waterproofing and tile: backer board and waterproofing for the tub or shower, wall and floor tile, grout.
  • Week 3: Fixtures and finishing: drywall repairs and paint, vanity and top, toilet, faucets, shower fixtures, lighting, mirrors and accessories.
  • Week 4: Final details: shower glass if your design has it, final plumbing and electrical connections, caulking, touch-ups, final inspections and walkthrough.

Primary bathroom: 4 to 8 weeks

Larger or more custom: expanded showers, freestanding tubs, custom vanities, specialty tile, moved plumbing.
  • Weeks 1–2: Demolition, framing for the new layout, niches and benches, plumbing and electrical moves, rough-in inspections.
  • Weeks 2–3: Shower pan and waterproofing, backer board, drywall repairs and surface preparation.
  • Weeks 3–5: Shower and floor tile, niches, benches and details, heated floors where planned, grout, first paint.
  • Weeks 5–6: Vanities and cabinetry, countertop templating and install, tub, toilet, faucets, shower fixtures, lighting and mirrors.
  • Weeks 6–8: Custom shower glass, trim and hardware, final connections and testing, final paint, inspections, walkthrough and punch list.

Some phases overlap, and inspections, material choices and what we find behind the walls can change the schedule. These are typical times from our jobs, not a promise; your designer gives you your own schedule.

Questions

Bathroom remodeling FAQ: cost, timing and permits

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Northern Virginia?

In our sold jobs, most bathroom remodels fall between $20,000 and $60,000+. A hall bath refresh sits at the low end; a primary suite with a curbless shower and frameless glass sits at the high end. Your design and selections set the final price, and every proposal is calculated for your home.

How much does a small bathroom remodel cost?

A small hall or guest bathroom in our sold jobs starts at about $12,500 when only the tub or shower is redone, and usually runs about $22,000 to $45,000 for a full refresh, depending on tile, the vanity, the tub or shower and whether plumbing moves.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

A standard bathroom remodel that keeps the same layout (new tub or shower, vanity, toilet, floor, tile and fixtures) takes 3 to 4 weeks of construction. A larger primary bathroom with layout changes, a bigger shower, a freestanding tub or custom tile takes 4 to 8 weeks. Before that, design and planning usually take 2 to 6 weeks, and permits, where needed, add time. Construction starts only when every material is in our warehouse and the permits are in hand, so the work doesn't stop for a backordered part. These are typical times from our jobs, not a promise; your designer gives you your own schedule.

Can you convert my tub to a shower?

Yes. We take out the tub and build a tiled walk-in shower with a niche and custom glass, in the same space, planned, permitted and built like every other remodel.

Do you install custom shower glass?

Yes. Our partner Always Glass & Mirror makes custom shower glass for our bathrooms, and we share its drawings with you for approval before anything is cut. Bathrooms that keep a tub get a shower rod unless you choose glass.

What is an allowance in a bathroom proposal?

An allowance is the budget in your proposal for something you have not picked yet, like tile or a faucet. If you choose something that costs more, the difference is a change order. If you choose something that costs less, you get a credit.

Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen or bathroom?

Kitchen and bathroom remodels that change plumbing, electrical or walls usually need a permit, and the rules differ by county and city. We handle the whole permit process, from the building and trade permits to the county fees and every inspection, so you never deal with the county.

Can I see my new bathroom before you build it?

Yes. Your designer builds it in 3D and presents it on the showroom screen. Walk through it and change it until it is yours, then pick every material in person.

Do you remodel bathrooms in Maryland and Washington, DC?

Yes. We are licensed in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC, and fully insured, including workers' compensation. Our Bethesda showroom serves Montgomery County and DC.
