We structure bathrooms into three scope tiers. Actual pricing depends on size, selections, and site conditions; we’ll share transparent local ranges early, then refine as selections are made.
- Refresh (Cosmetic Update): New vanity/top, faucet, toilet, lighting, paint, mirror, minor tile work; keep layout as is.
- Pull-and-Replace: New tile floor and shower/tub surround, upgraded vanity/storage, lighting plan, ventilation, plumbing trims in the same locations.
- Reconfigure / Spa Conversion: Layout changes (e.g., tub-to-curbless-shower), possible plumbing/electrical moves, glass enclosure, heated floors, statement tile, custom storage, and upgraded ventilation.
Timeline: Most bathroom builds run 4–8 weeks once construction begins (after design, selections, and ordering). We manage permits/inspections end-to-end.
The 8 Biggest Cost Drivers (and How to Control Them)
- Layout Moves & Framing — Moving drains or walls adds labor and inspection steps; keeping the same “wet wall” locations lowers cost.
- Waterproofing System — Premium membranes, proper slopes, sealed penetrations, and flood-tested pans protect finishes and subfloor. Non-negotiable for longevity.
- Tile Selection & Patterns — Large-format porcelain is efficient; mosaics, stacked niches, benches, or complex layouts add time. Current trends favor artisanal/texture and mixed patterns.
- Glass Enclosures — Frameless, low-iron glass with custom sizes is a premium upgrade.
- Heating & Comfort — In-floor heat and higher-CFM, quiet fans add comfort and protect surfaces.
- Vanity & Storage — Custom/special widths, tower storage, and organizers improve function and resale.
- Plumbing Fixtures — Valve quality, multi-head systems, and finishes (brass/black/mixed metals) influence cost and lead time. Trends show growing demand for mixed metals.
- Lighting Plan — Layered lighting (ambient + mirror + accents) elevates daily use and is worth the small electrical premium.
Where to Invest vs. Where to Save
Invest in:
- Waterproofing & Ventilation (it’s what makes “built to last” true).
- Shower System & Glass (used daily; quality shows).
- Lighting & Outlets (mirror lighting + GFCI/controls = everyday wins).
Save with:
- Keep Plumbing Locations when possible.
- Right-size Tile Complexity (one “statement” surface; simplify the rest).
- Semi-Custom Vanities with upgraded tops/hardware for luxury without custom lead times.
Our Waterproofing & Ventilation Standards (What “Built to Last” Means)
Every wet zone gets: premium membranes, proper slopes, sealed seams/penetrations, flood-tested pans, and quiet, right-sized exhaust to move moisture out fast. This protects grout, stone, paint, and the structure—long after the project is done.
Design tip: Many Davis/Weber homeowners are upgrading to curbless walk-in showers, heated floors, and spa-style fixtures—comforts that continue to trend in 2024–2025.
