Remodeling a Bathroom in Bellevue, WA – What to Know

If you're planning a bathroom remodel in Bellevue, there’s a lot more to think about than just fixtures. Between permits, waterproofing, code requirements, and coordinating different trades, there’s plenty that can go wrong without the right contractor. At Renova, we manage everything — design, materials, permits, and the build — with one team.

Types of Bathroom Remodels We Handle

Master Bathrooms:
These tend to be larger and involve more detailed planning — double sinks, separate tubs, large showers, more electrical. That also means more trades and more inspections.

Guest Bathrooms:
Smaller, but still important. These often involve replacing tubs, vanities, and tile, and sometimes dealing with older plumbing.

Half Baths/Powder Rooms:
Simpler spaces — just a toilet and sink — but finishes matter more here. We often see tight layouts and limited access, which can make scheduling and prep more important than you'd think.

Where Contractors Often Mess Up

A lot of problems we fix come from past remodels that were rushed or done without permits. Some of the most common ones:

• No waterproofing behind tile. Without proper prep (like RedGard or membrane), moisture gets into walls and causes mold or leaks. You won’t know until it's too late.
• No permit pulled. Bellevue requires permits for plumbing, electrical, vent fans, and often even flooring if it’s part of a larger change. No permit = inspection failure = expensive correction later.
• Bad tile work. Tile lippage, uneven spacing, grout cracks — all common signs of cheap labor or bad planning.
• Budget drift. Clients tell us they got a low quote, then got hit with change orders every week. That’s not how we work.

How We Handle It at Renova

We start with a free design consult — measure the space, talk about layout, materials, and the real scope. Then we draw up a plan, pull permits, and build it to code. We work with licensed plumbers, electricians, HVAC — no handoffs to third parties.

Some code items we cover automatically:

• GFCI outlets for all wet areas
• Fan vented outdoors (not just into attic)
• Waterproofing behind all showers/tubs
• Correct plumbing slopes and cleanouts
• Minimum ceiling height and clearance at fixtures

We also handle all material sourcing. You can pick finishes yourself, or use our preferred suppliers. Either way, we pass our contractor pricing to you — no markup, no surprises.

What About Cost?

Projects vary, but most of our Bellevue bathrooms land between $20K–$60K depending on size and finish level. We’ve done powder rooms for under $15K, and full master suites up to $90K. We’ll tell you exactly what’s included, and keep it on schedule.

If you’re thinking about remodeling your bathroom — or fixing one that wasn’t done right — we can walk the space and give you a straight answer on what’s possible. No pressure. Just honest info and proper work.
