Master Bathroom Renovation Transforms Your Primary Suite

A master bathroom renovation is a full renovation of your primary suite bathroom, from layout to fixtures, tile, vanity and more. It’s a complete overhaul of your primary bathroom, from start to finish, including permits. This is the service most homeowners think of when they think of a bathroom remodel. It’s often the service that adds the most value to your home.

In older Denver homes, particularly in Park Hill, the original primary bathroom may be very small and the home’s original layout doesn’t allow for the expansion. A master bathroom renovation is the best way to improve the layout of the primary bathroom and make it usable again. Often, people think a cosmetic refresh would be enough, but once the demolition starts, the work involved will increase quickly. It’s better to plan for this from the start than to discover mid-project that the work is much more extensive than originally thought.

Guest Bathroom Remodeling differs from a Master Bathroom Renovation because the latter covers the entire primary bathroom, not just a guest bathroom. The primary bathroom is typically larger and requires higher-end finishes and fixtures, including a double vanity. If you’re looking to completely transform your primary bathroom, this is the service to start with.

Walk-In Shower Installation Replaces Tubs With Open Showers

If you’re considering removing your bathtub and replacing it with an open shower, then you’ll need to look into walk-in shower installation. Walk-in shower installation involves removing the bathtub, waterproofing the shower area, moving the drain to a new location if necessary, and installing a glass enclosure that fits the space. This is a popular upgrade that opens up the bathroom both visually and practically. Some of the work involved in a walk-in shower installation includes:

  • Removing the old tub and surround
  • Waterproofing the shower pan and walls
  • Adjusting or moving drain lines as needed
  • Installing a custom glass enclosure

A walk-in shower is a style and layout option, whereas Barrier Free Showers are designed for accessibility. A walk-in shower offers a clean, modern look, but isn’t specifically designed for ease of access. Choose this service if you want a new aesthetic and more room to maneuver. If accessibility is a concern, read on.

Bathtub Replacement Removes an Old or Damaged Tub

If you have a cracked, stained, or outdated tub, and you’d like a new one installed in the same location, you’ll need a bathtub replacement. We’ll remove the old tub, evaluate any existing plumbing as we do so, and replace it with a new tub and surround.

Many homes in Denver were built between the 1920s and 1950s, and while the bathroom may appear relatively modern on the surface, original cast iron tubs are often hidden underneath. Once the tub is removed, we sometimes discover aging plumbing that’s reached the end of its useful life. Because it isn’t always visible until the tub is gone, we include plumbing evaluation as part of the bathtub replacement process.

Unlike Bathtub Installation, the bathtub replacement service always begins with removal of an existing tub. It’s strictly a direct swap of tubs, and doesn’t involve any layout changes. If you have an aging or damaged tub, and want it removed and replaced, this is the service you’ll need. If you’re installing a new tub where there wasn’t one before, or you’re making any other structural changes, you’ll want to select Bathtub Installation instead, see below.

Bathroom Tile Installation Replaces Floors, Walls, and Backsplash

When you want new tile throughout the entire bathroom, not just around the shower, you’ll need a bathroom tile installation. This service includes installation of floor tile, wall tile, and backsplash, with options for material and layout based on the needs of your space.

This service is frequently included as part of a full bathroom remodel. Since tile work really establishes the overall look and feel of the room, it’s common for homeowners to ask us about their options. Denver’s water supply has moderate hardness, which is something to consider when selecting your finishes, some materials will accumulate mineral deposits faster than others over time, so it’s worth discussing these options with your contractor before you make your final selection.

Unlike the Custom Tile Shower service, bathroom tile installation covers all tile in the bathroom, floors, walls, and backsplash, not just the shower. If you want to update the look of your entire bathroom, this is the service to choose. If you’re focused primarily on the shower, continue reading.

Custom Tile Shower Design Creates a Standout Focal Point

Sometimes you want your shower to be the focal point of the bathroom, not just a functional space. That’s what a custom tile shower project does: layout planning, tile pattern selection, waterproofing, and a glass enclosure built to your specifications. This is a design-focused service. You’ll choose the pattern, tile niches, and any other built-in elements, and we’ll do the rest. We start by planning the layout, then move on to waterproofing and tile installation according to the pattern and finish you’ve selected.

This is different from Bathroom Tile Installation, as this project only focuses on the shower enclosure, not the entire bathroom. If you’re replacing the tile in your whole bathroom, see Bathroom Tile Installation above. If you want a shower that looks custom-designed, and not like every other shower in the neighborhood, this is the right project for

Guest Bathroom Remodeling Refreshes Secondary Baths

Not all bathrooms require a master-level makeover. Guest bathroom remodeling includes all fixture, tile, and vanity upgrades, sized for a smaller space. These projects tend to be less expensive and take less time to complete than a master bathroom remodel, since the room itself is typically smaller. This doesn’t mean the quality is any lower; it simply means the project is tailored to the way the space is used. Guest bathrooms don’t experience as much wear and tear as master bathrooms, so you may opt for different finishes and layouts.

This differs from Master Bathroom Renovation in that it is designed for a smaller space and finishes that reflect the secondary nature of the room. If the bathroom you are remodeling isn’t the one you use every day, then Guest Bathroom Remodeling is probably the right service for you.

Accessible Bathroom Remodeling Supports Aging in Place

Are you planning ahead for mobility changes? Accessible bathroom remodeling includes the entire room, grab bars, wider doorways, comfort-height fixtures, so your bathroom works well for years to come, not just for one particular item. This service is distinct from standard remodeling in that it begins with a plan designed around how the user navigates the space, rather than focusing solely on aesthetics. Consider:

  • Doorway width and floor clearance
  • Grab bar placement and comfort-height toilets
  • Fixture placement for easier, safer movement
  • Flooring that won’t become slippery when wet

Unlike Barrier Free Showers, which is only one feature in the service of Bathroom Remodeling. A barrier free shower is just one feature of an accessible bathroom remodel, not the entire project itself. If you are looking at the entire bathroom as an aging-in-place solution, Bathroom Remodeling is a great place to start.

Bathtub Installation Installs A New Tub In Your Bathroom

A bathtub installation isn’t necessarily about replacing an old bathtub, but is instead the bathtub selection and plumbing hookup, plus the surrounding work to add a tub in the context of a larger bathroom renovation or in a new bathroom where there wasn’t a tub at all to begin with.

The bathtub installation service is more common when doing a complete bathroom renovation, since the layout of the bathroom might change and a tub might be placed in a different location than before. Bathtub installation is also the right fit when adding a new bathroom in a new basement, since there wouldn’t be an existing bathtub to remove.

Unlike Bathtub Replacement, which is a like-for-like swap, a bathtub installation is the right fit when the layout changes or a tub is added to a space, and the scope of work requires it. If you are simply looking to replace your existing bathtub with another one, then Bathtub Replacement above is probably the better option for you.

Barrier Free Showers Eliminate Steps and Curbs for Easy Access

A barrier free shower has a zero-entry threshold designed for someone using a wheelchair or walker to enter the shower and exit without stepping over a curb. The service includes the sloped floor drain, flush threshold and slip-resistant flooring necessary for safe, easy entry.

These showers have the drain installed with the floor sloping in a manner that will keep the water in the shower enclosure without requiring a raised curb at the entrance. Careful waterproofing must be performed during installation, since there is no curb to assist in controlling where the water goes.

Unlike Walk-In Shower Installation, which can be any size shower, this service is intended specifically to accommodate accessibility requirements. If you’re simply looking for a stylish, walk-in shower look, then Walk-In Shower Installation above may be all you need. If a family member needs a step-free shower for safety reasons, then Barrier Free Showers is the service you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle bathroom remodels outside of Denver proper?

Yes, we serve Denver and nearby communities including Thornton, Arvada, and Aurora. Wherever you’re located in the metro area, one contractor handles your whole project, from permits to final finishes. If you’re not sure whether your address falls in our service area, just reach out and we’ll let you know.

Older Denver homes, especially in areas like Washington Park and Park Hill, often hide original cast iron tubs and aging plumbing behind a normal-looking bathroom. Once we open things up, we sometimes find plumbing that needs attention too. We check this as a standard part of the job, so you’re not blindsided mid-project.

It depends on how much of the room needs to change. If your layout feels cramped or dated throughout, a master renovation addresses the whole space at once. If the bones of your bathroom work fine and you just want a style refresh, a vanity swap is a smaller, faster upgrade with less disruption.

A walk-in shower is a style choice built for an open, modern look with a low or no curb. A barrier-free shower is built specifically for accessibility, with no curb at all and space designed for easier entry. If looks and openness matter most, choose walk-in. If accessibility is your priority, barrier-free is the better fit.

Replace your tub if you have one already and just want it swapped out for a newer version in the same location. If you’re adding a tub where none exists, or changing your bathroom’s layout, that’s a bathtub installation project instead. The difference comes down to whether you’re removing something or building something new.
