Owner-operated bathroom remodels for Kent homeowners — from quick refreshes to full gut renovations across East Hill, West Hill, Panther Lake, and downtown Kent. Licensed, insured, and 0 minutes — we are based in Kent.
Kent's housing stock is what shapes every remodel decision here. Kent's housing stock is a real mix. Older mid-century homes in West Hill and Panther Lake were built between the 1950s and 1970s — that often means original galvanized supply lines, 60-amp panels, and load-bearing walls in awkward places. Newer subdivisions on East Hill (built mostly 1990s–2000s) come with engineered trusses and modern wiring, where the bigger upside is finally replacing the builder-grade finishes.
We're based right here in Kent — our team works in this market every week, and we know the neighborhoods, the inspectors, and the housing stock as well as anyone in town. That proximity matters — when materials show up damaged or an inspector needs a same-day correction, we are not driving in from Seattle.
Talk to Us About Your ProjectWhat's Included
Bathrooms are unforgiving — water, ventilation, and tight clearances all have to work together. Below is what's typically included in a Kent bathroom project; we tailor every estimate to your home.
Floor tile, large-format wall tile, custom shower niches, slab walls, and proper substrate (Schluter, cement board) under everything.
Stock, semi-custom, and custom vanities. Wall-mounted, single-sink, and dual-vanity layouts with soft-close hardware.
Toilet, sink, shower valve, and tub installation. Relocating drains, replacing old galvanized supply lines, and rough-in for new fixtures.
Faucets, showerheads, body sprays, handheld wands, tub fillers, towel bars, and hardware — coordinated with your aesthetic.
Vanity sconces, recessed lighting, decorative pendants, and dimmer-friendly switching. Always to code, always GFCI-protected.
Schluter Kerdi, Wedi, or hot-mopped pans. Proper waterproofing under tile is the difference between a 5-year and 30-year bathroom.
Exhaust fans sized for the room, vented to the exterior (not the attic), with humidity-sensing controls when requested.
Frameless shower glass, custom hinged or sliding panels, and barn-door hardware. Measured and templated after the tile is set.
We pull City of Kent permits when plumbing or electrical work is involved, and we schedule the rough-in and final inspections.
Kent Permits & Considerations
The City of Kent requires a building permit any time a bathroom remodel involves plumbing relocation, electrical changes, or structural alterations. A like-for-like fixture swap (same toilet location, same vanity footprint) often doesn't require a permit — but moving a shower drain, adding a circuit, or changing the layout always does.
We pull every required permit through the Kent Permit Center, coordinate the rough-in and final inspections, and keep documentation in your project file. Bathroom permits matter especially at resale, since inspectors and appraisers flag undocumented work.
Honest Pricing
Kent sits in the mid-range of the Puget Sound bathroom market. Below are the typical ranges we see — actual numbers depend on shower size, tile selection, vanity choice, and whether plumbing moves.
New vanity, toilet, fixtures, tile floor and lighting. Original layout, no plumbing relocation.
Custom shower with tile, new vanity and counters, full plumbing fixtures, ventilation, waterproofing, and lighting. Most common project here.
Layout changes, large walk-in shower, frameless glass, dual vanities, premium tile, heated floors, and designer fixtures.
Ranges are typical Kent bathroom project costs and don't include unforeseen issues (rot under old tile, galvanized supply line replacement) — we flag those in writing the moment we find them.
