Bathroom Remodeling

A bathroom remodel can be a cosmetic refresh (vanity swap, new mirror, fresh paint, faucet upgrade), a standard re-tile-and-replace (new tile, new vanity, new fixtures in the same layout), or a full gut with layout changes (move plumbing for a tub-to-shower conversion, expand into a closet, add a double vanity). Earth Saving Solutions designs and builds Denver-metro bathrooms under one contract, with the waterproofing system specified up front because it is the single largest predictor of how the bathroom holds up over the next 20 years.

Office Building Restroom Renovation

DOWNTOWN OFFICE BUILDING RESTROOM RENOVATION

Earth Saving Solutions completed a comprehensive renovation of multiple restrooms across five floors of a downtown Denver office building. The project included complete demolition and reconstruction of outdated facilities, transforming them into modern, water-efficient, and ADA-compliant restrooms.

The project featured commercial-grade fixtures, durable tile installations, touchless operations, and energy-efficient lighting and ventilation systems, resulting in facilities that enhance tenant satisfaction while reducing maintenance and operational costs.

This large-scale project involved renovating 120 bathrooms across a 60-unit apartment complex as part of a property-wide upgrade initiative.

The renovations included new tub/shower surrounds, modern vanities, water-efficient toilets, updated lighting, and fresh tile flooring. Our systematic approach and careful scheduling minimized tenant disruption while transforming outdated bathrooms into modern, attractive spaces that contributed to significant increases in rental rates and decreased vacancy for the property owner.

What affects the cost of a bathroom remodel?

  • Square footage and whether the existing layout stays put or changes
  • Tile scope and material — floor only, full shower surround, full wall-tile, or feature-wall accent; ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, glass mosaic
  • Waterproofing system — traditional cement-board with liquid membrane, sheet membrane (Schluter Kerdi, Wedi), or fully-bonded foam systems
  • Plumbing scope — staying in place (cosmetic) vs. moving the toilet, sink, or shower drain (each move is a slab cut or below-floor access)
  • Vanity selection — stock single vs. semi-custom vs. custom double vanity, plus the countertop material
  • Shower system — basic single-head, multi-head with body sprays, rain-head with hand-held, niches, benches, frameless glass enclosure
  • Accessibility additions — curbless threshold, comfort-height toilet, grab bars, walk-in tub, wider doorway
  • Heated floors, in-line ventilation upgrade, and other comfort additions added during the build window

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

Most projects finish in 7–60 days. A cosmetic refresh (paint, vanity swap, mirror, faucets) runs 1 to 2 weeks. A standard re-tile-and-replace remodel in the same layout (new tile, new vanity, new fixtures) runs 3 to 6 weeks. A full gut with layout changes (moving plumbing, tub-to-shower conversion, expanding into a closet) runs 6 to 10 weeks. Custom finishes, imported tile, or specialty glass enclosures can push to 12 weeks.

What should I have decided before starting a bathroom remodel?

  1. Decide tub vs. shower vs. both — a tub-to-shower conversion changes the layout, the plumbing, the resale picture, and the construction scope all at once
  2. Pick the waterproofing system before tile — sheet-membrane (Schluter Kerdi, Wedi) costs more up front but lasts 20+ years; traditional cement-board can fail at penetrations within 7 to 10 years
  3. Consider future accessibility now — curbless threshold, 36-inch doorway, blocking in the walls for future grab bars cost almost nothing during the build and a lot to retrofit later
  4. Plan the bathroom-out-of-commission window — 1 to 3 weeks for a real remodel; if it is the only bathroom, arrange a temporary shower setup or shower at a friend's place
  5. Pull permits early and confirm any HOA or strata approval — even single-bathroom interior remodels need a permit when plumbing or electrical changes

How does a tub-to-shower conversion compare to keeping the tub?

AspectKeep the tub (or tub-shower combo)Convert to walk-in shower
Layout impactStays the same — easiest construction scopeDrain moves, plumbing reroutes, sometimes wall framing changes for a wider shower opening
CostLower — no plumbing move, no glass enclosure, no curbless threshold engineeringHigher — plumbing relocation, custom glass enclosure, sloped curbless pan
Resale considerationsAt least one full bathtub in the home is a common buyer expectation, especially for families with young childrenAcceptable if the home has another tub elsewhere; can hurt resale in single-bathroom homes or family neighborhoods
AccessibilityTubs are the leading source of in-home falls — stepping over a tub wall is a known risk for older adultsCurbless walk-in shower is the gold standard for aging-in-place and ADA-adjacent design
Daily useTub-shower combo works for both bathing and quick showers; full soaking tub is a luxuryLarger usable shower footprint, multiple shower heads possible, easier to clean than a tub
Best fitFamily with young children, single-bathroom home, homeowner who actually uses the tubEmpty nesters, master bath in a multi-bath home, accessibility-focused remodel, walk-in shower is the daily-use preference

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my bathroom be unusable during the remodel?

For a real remodel (new tile, new vanity, new fixtures), expect 2 to 4 weeks of an unusable bathroom — start of demolition through tile cure, fixture install, and final inspection. Cosmetic refreshes (paint, vanity swap, faucets) run 3 to 7 days. Full gut remodels with layout changes run 4 to 8 weeks. If it is the only bathroom in the home, arrange a temporary shower setup (a friend or family member's place, a gym membership) for the days when the shower is offline; toilet-only access can usually be staged within the construction sequence.

Should I convert my tub to a walk-in shower or keep the tub?

Convert if the home has another tub elsewhere, the bathroom is a master bath in a multi-bath home, or accessibility is a real long-term priority. Keep the tub if it is the only bathroom in the home, the home is in a family neighborhood where buyers expect at least one full tub, or you genuinely use the tub for soaking. We walk both options on the first design visit and tell you up front how each affects the resale value with a Denver-area realtor lens, not just the construction cost.

What is the difference between Schluter Kerdi and traditional cement-board waterproofing?

Traditional waterproofing layers cement-board (Durock, HardieBacker) over framing, then a liquid waterproofing membrane (RedGard or similar) painted over the cement-board, then thinset and tile. Schluter Kerdi (and Wedi, USG Durock with foam) is a sheet-membrane system applied directly over the substrate that creates a fully bonded waterproof envelope behind the tile. Sheet-membrane systems cost more up front (15 to 25 percent more on the wet-area portion) and last 20+ years; traditional systems can fail at penetrations (shower valve, niche corners) within 7 to 10 years if installed less than perfectly. We default to sheet-membrane for shower walls and floors and tell you when traditional is acceptable.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel?

Almost always yes. Any work involving plumbing (moving fixtures, replacing a shower valve, swapping a tub), electrical (new GFCI outlets, in-line fans, heated floor mats), or structural (moving a wall, adding a window) requires a building permit and inspections in every Denver-metro jurisdiction. Cosmetic-only changes (paint, mirror swap, towel bars) sometimes don't, but a vanity swap that includes new shutoff valves usually does. We pull the permit, post it on site, and coordinate the rough and final inspections.

How do I make my new bathroom accessible without it looking institutional?

Five low-cost, high-impact moves at design time: a curbless walk-in shower with a linear drain (looks contemporary, zero step-over), wall-blocking behind the drywall everywhere a future grab bar might land (free during the build, expensive to retrofit), a 36-inch doorway (no narrower than 32 inches), a comfort-height toilet (universal — more comfortable for everyone), and lever-handle faucets and door handles instead of knobs. None of these read as institutional in finished form, all of them serve any future occupant of the home.

Should I get heated floors?

Yes if the existing floor is being demolished anyway and you're staying in the home for at least 5 years. Electric mat heating is added under the tile during install, controlled by a programmable thermostat, and is one of the most-loved comfort upgrades in Colorado bathrooms (cold tile floors in winter is the universal complaint). Hydronic (warm-water) floor heating is more expensive and only worth it on full-floor master remodels. The cost is moderate during the install, prohibitive to retrofit later.

What is the right ventilation for a Denver bathroom?

Denver's dry climate forgives a lot of ventilation sins, but a properly ventilated bathroom keeps the mirror clear after a shower and prevents mold growth in the wall cavity behind the shower. The standard upgrade is a humidity-sensor exhaust fan rated at 80 to 110 CFM for a typical full bath, ducted to the exterior (not into the attic) with insulated duct and a backdraft damper. Steam showers need a separate dedicated exhaust at the steam head. The fan is a $200 to $400 upgrade during construction that pays back over the entire life of the bathroom.

How do I keep a bathroom remodel on budget?

Three rules from kitchen remodels apply here too: set the budget envelope before the wish list, lock the design and tile selection before demolition starts, and build in a 10 to 15 percent contingency for surprises (rotted subfloor under the toilet, knob-and-tube wiring, a vent stack that does not actually meet code). Bathroom-specific surprises usually live in the wet area — pulling the existing shower can reveal mold in framing, missing waterproofing, or a drain that does not match current code. We open the wet area on day one and call you with the findings before ordering the rest of the materials.
