Your bathroom should make everyday routines easier, not leave you working around an outdated layout, limited storage, or a shower that no longer suits your needs. Grand Building Construction helps Burien homeowners transform bathrooms through thoughtful renovations, from focused shower and tub updates to complete remodels with new layouts, vanities, tile, lighting, storage, and finishes. We build around how you use the space so the finished bathroom feels comfortable, functional, and made for your home.

A Bathroom Remodel Designed for Burien Living
Your bathroom should support your daily routine while making better use of the space you already have. Grand Building Construction helps homeowners with bathroom remodeling in Burien, from targeted improvements to complete renovations. Projects can include updated showers, bathtub replacements, walk-in shower conversions, vanities, tile, flooring, lighting, storage, and modern fixtures.
The right renovation depends on what the existing bathroom needs and how you want it to function.

Whether you are refreshing an outdated guest bath or transforming a primary bathroom, thoughtful planning helps create a comfortable, practical space that works better for everyday life.
Bathroom Remodeling Services for Burien Homes
A well-planned bathroom renovation can do more than refresh outdated finishes it can make the room easier to use, improve storage, address an inefficient layout, and create a more comfortable space for everyday routines. Grand Building Construction works with Burien homeowners on bathroom projects ranging from focused upgrades to complete remodels involving showers, tubs, vanities, tile, flooring, lighting, and other essential details.
Every bathroom has different priorities. Some homeowners may want to replace an old tub with a walk-in shower, while others may need a more substantial renovation involving plumbing, layout changes, waterproofing, ventilation, or accessibility improvements. The scope can be tailored to the condition of the existing bathroom and the way you want the finished space to function.
From compact bathrooms that need smarter use of space to larger primary bathrooms ready for a complete transformation, the goal is to create a finished room that feels purposeful rather than simply new.
Shower Remodeling
A shower remodel can address outdated finishes, limited functionality, difficult access, or a layout that no longer works well. Depending on the project, improvements may include new tile, fixtures, drainage, waterproofing, storage niches, or a redesigned shower configuration.
Walk-In & Accessible Showers
A walk-in shower can improve everyday access and make the bathroom easier to use. Depending on the available space and the homeowner's needs, features may include a low or curbless entry, shower seating, handheld fixtures, slip-resistant flooring, and other practical accessibility considerations.
Small Bathroom Remodeling
A smaller bathroom often requires careful planning to improve functionality without making the space feel more crowded. Layout changes, compact fixtures, better storage, lighting, and shower design can all help make better use of the available square footage.
Primary & Guest Bathroom Remodeling
Different bathrooms serve different purposes, so the remodeling approach should reflect how each space is used. A primary bathroom may require more storage or a redesigned shower, while a guest or family bathroom may benefit from durable materials, practical fixtures, and an efficient layout.
Custom Bathroom Design & Finishes
Material and fixture choices should work together with the bathroom's layout and everyday use. Tile, flooring, vanities, lighting, countertops, and fixtures can be selected based on durability, maintenance requirements, functionality, and the overall design of the space.
Bathroom Waterproofing, Plumbing & Installation
What happens behind finished walls and surfaces is just as important as what is visible. Depending on the scope of the remodel, work may involve waterproofing, drainage, plumbing, electrical updates, ventilation, and the proper installation of new bathroom components before the finished surfaces are completed.
What Can You Expect to Spend on a Bathroom Remodel in Burien
Planning a bathroom renovation in Burien starts with understanding that there is no single price for every project. A focused upgrade, such as a tub-to-shower conversion or walk-in shower, can require a very different investment from a complete bathroom remodel involving new flooring, vanity, lighting, plumbing, and layout changes. Current local remodeling sources show that targeted projects may begin around $9,500, while premium upgrades can reach $12,500–$20,000+ and full renovations can start around $50,000, depending on scope.
The final bathroom remodeling cost in Burien is influenced by room size, material choices, demolition, plumbing or electrical changes, waterproofing, existing conditions, and permit requirements. Keeping the current layout can sometimes reduce complexity, while moving fixtures or uncovering hidden damage may increase the overall investment. A project-specific estimate is the best way to understand the actual cost for your bathroom.

Permits and Preparation for a Bathroom Remodel
efore starting a bathroom remodeling project in Burien, it is important to determine which parts of the work require permits. The City of Burien requires permits for many alterations involving building work as well as regulated plumbing, electrical, mechanical, or other systems. Simple finish work such as painting, tiling, cabinets, and countertops may be exempt when existing accessible features are not altered.
For projects that involve plumbing changes, electrical updates, layout modifications, or other permitted work, applications are submitted through MyBuildingPermit. The City also provides project checklists and inspection guidance to help homeowners understand the process. Contractors must have the required state license and City of Burien endorsement before a permit can be issued. Homeowners can review the latest requirements through the official City of Burien Permit Application Information before construction begins.
Bathroom Problems a Remodel Can Address in Burien
Bathroom remodeling in Burien can be a practical way to fix problems that affect comfort, accessibility, storage, and everyday use. Local remodeling projects commonly involve outdated bathrooms, inefficient layouts, old tubs or showers, and spaces that no longer suit the household.
An Outdated or Inefficient Layout
A bathroom layout may become frustrating when fixtures take up too much space, storage is poorly positioned, or the room does not work well for the people using it. Remodeling can improve how the space functions by reconsidering fixture placement, storage, circulation, or the overall arrangement of the room. Before changing the layout, it is important to evaluate the existing plumbing, structural conditions, and available space.
Not Enough Storage
Limited storage can make even a well-sized bathroom feel cluttered. A remodel may create better storage through a redesigned vanity, built-in cabinetry, recessed niches, or other solutions that use available space more effectively. The best approach depends on what needs to be stored and how much room is available without making the bathroom feel crowded.
A Small or Cramped Bathroom
When a bathroom feels too small, the issue is not always its actual square footage. Oversized fixtures, poor storage, limited lighting, or an inefficient layout can make the space feel more cramped than it needs to. Compact fixtures, improved lighting, better storage, and changes to the shower or vanity can sometimes improve usability, although structural and plumbing limitations should be considered before major changes are planned.
An Old Shower or Bathtub
An aging shower or bathtub may have outdated finishes, difficult access, limited functionality, or maintenance concerns. Depending on the condition of the existing space, a remodel may involve replacing fixtures, updating tile, improving storage, or changing the shower or bathtub configuration. Waterproofing, drainage, and the condition behind finished surfaces should be evaluated before new materials are installed.
Poor Lighting
Bathrooms need lighting that works for everyday tasks as well as the overall space. Poorly placed or insufficient lighting can make grooming more difficult and leave parts of the room feeling dark. A remodel can provide an opportunity to improve vanity lighting, general illumination, and other electrical features, depending on the existing setup and project scope.
Moisture and Ventilation Concerns
Bathrooms are regularly exposed to moisture, and persistent humidity can contribute to problems with finishes and surrounding materials. Improving ventilation may be part of a remodeling project, particularly when the existing system is not adequately managing moisture. Any signs of ongoing leaks, water damage, or other underlying issues should be evaluated before cosmetic improvements are completed.
Accessibility Challenges
A bathroom that is difficult to enter or use may benefit from changes designed around the homeowner’s current or future needs. Depending on the space, possible improvements can include a more accessible shower entry, additional clearance, slip-resistant flooring, improved lighting, or other safety-focused features. The right solution should be based on the individual user and the existing bathroom rather than applying the same accessibility upgrades to every home.

Had a nasty looking tub and surround. Got an acrylic wider tub and surround installed, they did the job in about 1.5 days, got a great price on the job. Left the area good and clean, no damage to anything. I would use them again.Posted on Google![]()

We hired a contractor in May to remodel our kitchen. He promised the project would be completed in three weeks. Unfortunately, after a month, less than 40% of the work had been completed. He disappeared several times without notice, and our calls and messages often went unanswered. Eventually, we decided to hire another contractor to finish the job. We are incredibly grateful that we found Grand Building Construction. Joshua and his team, Wei and Ken, completed the remaining 60% of our kitchen remodel in just five days. They ordered and installed the countertops and backsplash, corrected the mistakes left by the previous contractor, installed the flooring, completed the painting, and finished the lighting installation. Joshua, Wei, and Ken were hardworking, detail-oriented, professional, and communicative throughout the entire process. They kept us informed every step of the way, and their craftsmanship and dedication exceeded our expectations. They turned what had become a stressful and frustrating experience into a beautiful, finished kitchen that we absolutely love. We truly appreciate everything Joshua and his team did for us. Thanks to Grand Building Construction, we finally have our dream kitchen. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, honest, and trustworthy contractor.Posted on Google![]()

I recently had my master bathroom remodeled by Grand Building Construction, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They helped us transform a dated, inefficient space with a bulky corner tub into a modern, spa-like walk-in shower. I came into this project with a very clear, specific vision of what I wanted, and the team was incredible to work with. They were remarkably flexible and genuinely amenable to my ideas, working closely with me to ensure every detail aligned with the final look I had in mind. Beyond their design flexibility, I was truly impressed by their technical expertise—particularly the care they took with the plumbing rerouting and the advanced waterproofing systems. They kept the project moving efficiently, finishing everything on schedule in just one week. The quality of the finished space—from the precise large-format tile work to the installation of the matte black fixtures—is outstanding. If you’re looking for a professional, collaborative team in the Renton area that listens to your vision and executes it to a high standard, I highly recommend Grand Building Construction.Posted on Google![]()

This review is far overdue. We worked with Emil to renovate our two bathrooms, kitchen, relevel a sunken living room floor, create a pantry, and a few other things for my house Kirkland. Emil and his team provided quality work. Grand Building I has a lot of experience and guided us new homeowners through our extensive renovation. The team was punctual and extremely professional. They always cleaned up at the end of the workday. We would work with them again in the future.Posted on Google![]()

I recently hired Grand Building Construction for a kitchen remodeling and I couldn’t be happier. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding, and the team showed great integrity by staying honest about timelines and costs. Communication was clear and frequent, so I always knew what was happening. They arrived on time every day (often working 6 or 7 days a week) and finished the project within the budget, which made the price feel very fair. I especially appreciated how they respected my home and kept the work area clean. Josh and the team were open and communicated frequently throughout, always finding a way to incorporate our design choices. I would definitely work with GBC again and am recommending them to anyone i know looking to do a renovation.Posted on Google![]()

I recently decided to remodel my master bathroom because it was seriously outdated, since the 70s! Working with Emil so far has been a pleasure. We got creative together, figuring out solutions for things that mattered to me. His communication and attention to detail were what I really liked. From the beginning of the project, Emil made sure I was in the loop and part of every decision making process. I really appreciated that, especially since I can be quite picky about what I want. The bathroom is still in progress but so far I absolutely love the transformation! Thank you guys! I must say the work has been on time, super clean, the crew is very respectful and I appreciate their hard work. We're still in the process right now and so far this is my 5 star review.Posted on Google![]()

Josh helped us turn our old tub into a modern walk in shower, and it completely changed the feel of our bathroom. He suggested a tile pattern I never would have thought of, and it looks incredible with the lighting. Every evening before leaving, he cleaned up so well you could barely tell work was being done. The water pressure feels stronger now and the glass enclosure makes the whole room brighter. Couldn’t be happier with how it came out.Posted on Google![]()

I had them convert my tub into a walk-in shower, and it’s easily the best upgrade I’ve done. The tile work is stunning, and the glass enclosure makes the whole bathroom feel bigger. They even added a rainfall showerhead — total game changer.Posted on Google![]()

Grand Building Construction in Bellevue did our bathroom remodel after years of putting it off, and I wish we had done it sooner. The crew removed old flooring, updated the plumbing, and created a gorgeous walk-in shower with glass doors. They also added a double vanity that makes mornings so much easier. The project was seamless, and their communication made the whole process stress-free. Our new bathroom is both practical and stunning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom remodel cost ?
Bathroom remodeling costs vary based on the size of the space, the scope of work, layout changes, plumbing or electrical updates, and the materials selected. A project-specific estimate is the most reliable way to understand the expected investment because two bathrooms of a similar size can require very different levels of work.
How long does a bathroom remodel usually take?
The timeline depends on the scope and complexity of the project. A straightforward update may take less time than a complete remodel involving demolition, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tile, and custom installations. Material availability, permits, inspections, and unexpected conditions can also affect the schedule.
What is included in a complete bathroom remodel?
A complete bathroom remodel can include demolition, new plumbing or electrical work, waterproofing, flooring, tile, a shower or bathtub, vanity, lighting, ventilation, and fixtures. The exact scope depends on the existing bathroom and the improvements being planned.
Can I convert my bathtub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. A tub-to-shower conversion can be a practical option for homeowners who rarely use their bathtub and prefer easier access or a more open layout. The project may involve changes to plumbing, drainage, waterproofing, the shower pan, tile, and glass enclosure depending on the existing bathroom.
Can I change my bathroom layout?
Yes, changing the layout may be possible, including relocating fixtures such as the vanity, shower, or toilet. However, the feasibility and complexity depend on the existing plumbing, structural conditions, available space, and the amount of construction required.
Can you remodel a small bathroom?
Yes. Small bathrooms can often benefit significantly from thoughtful planning. The right vanity, storage, lighting, shower design, and layout can make a limited space feel more functional and open. Wall-mounted fixtures, recessed storage, larger mirrors, and carefully selected finishes can also help improve how the room looks and works.
Does a bathroom remodel include plumbing?
It can. Plumbing work may be needed when replacing or relocating a shower, bathtub, toilet, or vanity. In some projects, existing plumbing can remain in place, while others require updates to supply lines or drainage. The required work depends on the condition and layout of the existing bathroom.
