Owner-operated bathroom remodels for Renton homeowners — from quick refreshes to full gut renovations across the Highlands, Kennydale, Talbot Hill, and downtown Renton. Licensed, insured, and 15–20 minutes north on Highway 167.
Renton's housing stock is what shapes every remodel decision here. Renton has some of the oldest housing stock in South King County. The Renton Highlands and Earlington areas are full of original Craftsman bungalows and 1940s–50s post-war homes — beautiful bones but often with knob-and-tube wiring still hiding behind walls, cast-iron drain stacks, and lath-and-plaster surfaces that need careful demo. Kennydale and Talbot Hill mix mid-century homes with newer infill construction.
Our Kent base is about a 15–20 minute drive north on Highway 167, putting Renton site visits and material runs squarely in our daily route. 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 Renton 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 Renton permits when plumbing or electrical work is involved, and we schedule the rough-in and final inspections.
Renton Permits & Considerations
The City of Renton 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 Renton 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
Renton sits in the upper-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, and lighting. Same footprint.
Custom tile shower, new vanity, full fixture replacement, exhaust upgrade, and waterproofing. Most common tier.
Wall removal, expanded shower, frameless glass, dual vanities, heated floors, premium tile, designer fixtures.
Ranges are typical Renton 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.
