Project · Herndon, VA
We remodeled two bathrooms in one Herndon home under one contract. In the primary bath, the old tub platform gave way to a heated whirlpool tub set in white quartz under the corner windows, the walk-in shower got bigger, and a white double vanity, a makeup vanity and linen towers went in. The guest bath got a new tub, tile to the ceiling and a gray double vanity.
The budget is what this past project cost. A price for your home comes from your own design and selections.
The homeowner first reached out to us years earlier and came back when it was time to redo both bathrooms. In the primary bath they wanted to keep a jetted tub, now built in under the windows, and to get a bigger walk-in shower, a double vanity, a place to sit for makeup and real linen storage. The guest bath would keep its tub in the same spot, with fresh tile, a double vanity and better light.
We measured both rooms, and our design team drew the primary bath in 3D. The plan reworked the cabinets into a double vanity with drawer stacks, a makeup vanity with a knee drawer, and two linen towers at a reduced depth with crown. The old tub platform gave way to a new built-in frame for the tub under the corner windows, and the shower grew, with a new half wall and a custom glass enclosure.
Both bathrooms were remodeled under one contract, which also included separate kitchen countertop work. The budget shown on this page covers only the two bathrooms.
A few design changes were made along the way: the guest vanity switched to Tribeca's Hudson door in Hearthstone gray; a sconce between the guest mirrors and a recessed light over the guest tub were added; the primary vanity tops and the tub surround were set in Emerstone Celestia quartz; the primary cabinet layout and floor tile were settled; and the heated tub got its own dedicated circuit.
After demolition, the soffit over the old vanity came down, the old tub platform was removed and the medicine cabinet was closed in. The drains for the tub, the shower and both vanity sinks moved to their new places, the switches were relocated, and the old lights gave way to five 6-inch recessed lights, three sconces around the vanity mirrors and a new fan. The entrance was narrowed for a new 36-inch solid door, and the toilet room got a new pocket door. The primary bath work was permitted, and our permit department handled its inspections; it passed them all.
The shower was enlarged, with its drain and valve moved, a new half wall and a curb. Its pan was tested before the walls closed, and the walls went up in cement board with a waterproofing membrane. The walls are Elon Opal Snow, a polished white 3 by 12-inch tile laid horizontally in a half offset; the niche is MSI's Bianco Dolomite Geometrica; and the floor is a Lustre Carrara 2 by 3-inch hexagon mosaic from Best Tile, grouted in Arctic White. A custom glass enclosure closes it in.
The homeowners chose a drop-in whirlpool tub with a heater. It sits in a new frame under the corner windows, and the same Emerstone Celestia quartz as the vanity tops forms its deck and runs up the walls as a backsplash to the window frames. Before the quartz went on, the frame was built up with plywood, cement board and waterproofing so the tub sat perfectly flush, and the filler holes were marked with the homeowners so the stone could be drilled in the right spot. The front and sides are paneled to match the cabinets, with an access panel held by magnets.
A deck-mounted tub filler with cross handles and a hand shower stands at the end of the tub, in polished chrome like the faucets and the shower fixtures. The tub's heater has its own dedicated circuit, apart from the one for the jets.
The cabinets are ProCraft Liberty Shaker in white. The double vanity has drawer stacks between its sink bases and a linen tower at its end; a makeup vanity with a knee drawer sits beside the tub, with a second linen tower next to it. Both towers are built at a reduced depth and topped with crown. The vanity tops are the same Celestia quartz as the tub deck, with rectangular undermount sinks, and the floor is Best Tile's Horizon Gris, a large gray ceramic hexagon, grouted in Driftwood.
The entrance from the bedroom was narrowed for a new 36-inch solid door, and the toilet room got a new pocket door. Along the way the homeowners asked us to replace two closet doors and a French door with solid doors in the same style, so the doors all match.
The guest bath kept its tub where it was, with the shower fixtures in the same place. After demolition, the tub came out and a new one went in, the medicine cabinet was closed in, and new wiring brought a recessed light over the tub, a sconce between the mirrors and a new fan.
The tub walls are Elon Opal White, a polished 3 by 12-inch tile with a gentle wave, laid horizontally to the ceiling. A niche on the back wall is lined with MSI's Azula Hatchwork. The floor is Best Tile's Roxbury White, a glazed porcelain hexagon with a marble look, and Laticrete Frosty grout runs on the floor and the walls. A curtain rod keeps the tub open.
Two 30-inch Tribeca vanity bases in the Hudson door and Hearthstone gray make one double vanity, with a filler at the wall. The quartz top has slightly rounded corners, two rectangular undermount sinks and a backsplash, and a white two-light sconce sits between the two arched mirrors.
Every job sets its own schedule, and your contract gives you a written estimate for yours. How our process works →
Who built it: our design team planned both bathrooms with the homeowners, project manager Ege ran the job on site with our crew, our operations team ordered and received the materials, and our permit department handled the primary bath's permits and inspections. The quartz tops and the shower glass were made by our fabrication partners, under our supervision.
Budget: about $70K–$80K for both bathrooms: the primary bath and the guest bath.

Yes. In this Herndon primary bath, a drop-in whirlpool tub with a heater sits in a new frame under the corner windows, and the same quartz as the vanity tops forms its deck and the backsplash around it. The frame was built up so the tub sat flush before the quartz went on, the filler holes were marked with the homeowners first, and the paneled front has an access panel held by magnets.
Yes. This Herndon home had its primary bath and its guest bath remodeled on one contract, with one project manager and one crew: the primary bath went first and the guest bath followed. The tile for both rooms arrived together, and both baths were designed and their materials chosen before demolition. Every job sets its own schedule, and your contract gives you a written estimate for yours.
Design came first: the measure, the 3D design and the contract for both rooms, then a few design changes. Tile and cabinets were ordered, and the primary bath work was permitted. On site the primary bath came first: demolition, the new tub frame and the bigger shower, the plumbing and wiring, its rough inspections, cement board and waterproofing, paint, tile, the vanities, the quartz tops and the tub deck. The guest bath followed: demolition, the new tub, tile to the ceiling and its vanity. Then came the glass, the fixtures, the doors and the finishing details. Every job sets its own schedule, and your contract gives you a written estimate for yours.
A lower counter with a knee space where you can sit, usually with drawers beside it. In this Herndon primary bath it sits next to the tub, in the same white shaker cabinets and the same quartz as the double vanity, with a round mirror and a sconce above it and a linen tower beside it.
