Renton Bathroom Remodel: Vanity Upgrade
Project Transformation: Before & After
Project Overview
The homeowners of this Renton residence approached Grand Building Construction with a clear goal: to transform their dated and inefficient guest bathroom into a modern and functional oasis. The existing double sink vanity felt bulky and lacked the contemporary aesthetic they desired. Their primary objective was to upgrade the vanity to create a more open feel, improve storage, and introduce a touch of luxury with high-quality materials. The challenge was to achieve a significant visual impact within the existing footprint, without undertaking a full-scale, costly renovation.
Our team worked closely with the clients to select materials that would bring their vision to life. The choice of a new double vanity with a stunning Calacatta quartz countertop immediately brightened the space. By replacing the old fixtures with sleek, contrasting hardware—matte black for the cabinet pulls and brushed nickel for the faucets—we introduced a clean, sophisticated look. The transformation was completed with a matching 4-inch quartz backsplash, seamlessly integrating the new vanity into the bathroom’s design. The result is a beautifully updated bathroom that not only meets the homeowners’ functional needs but also serves as a stylish and serene retreat.

Our Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Design
We started with an in-depth consultation to understand the homeowners’ goals, style preferences, and budget. Our design team presented several vanity and countertop options, helping them select the perfect combination of Calacatta quartz and a navy blue vanity to create the desired contrast and modern look.
Step 2: Demolition and Preparation
Our crew carefully removed the old vanity, countertop, and sinks, ensuring the surrounding walls and flooring were protected. We then prepared the plumbing and wall surfaces for the new installation, ensuring a clean and ready workspace.
Step 3: Installation
The new 60-inch vanity was professionally installed and secured. Our certified fabricators then precisely cut and installed the Calacatta quartz countertop and matching 4-inch backsplash, ensuring a perfect fit. The undermount sinks and new brushed nickel faucets were then installed and connected to the existing plumbing.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
The final details were added to complete the transformation. This included attaching the elegant matte black hardware to the vanity doors and drawers and ensuring all plumbing connections were secure and leak-free. We performed a thorough cleanup of the entire work area.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough
We conducted a final walkthrough with the homeowners to present the completed project. We ensured every detail met their expectations and provided them with care and maintenance instructions for their new quartz countertop. See more of our work in our before & after gallery.

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Renton, WA?
Permits are typically required when a remodel involves plumbing, electrical, or layout changes. Grand Building Construction coordinates the permitting process and required inspections as part of your project, so everything is built to code.
Can I use my bathroom during a remodel?
During a full bathroom remodel, that bathroom is out of service while work is underway. If your home has a second bathroom, most homeowners stay in the home comfortably; we plan the sequence with you so you know what to expect at each stage.
What affects the cost of a bathroom remodel?
The biggest factors are the size of the bathroom, whether fixtures move or the layout changes, tile and fixture selections, and the condition of the plumbing behind the walls. A free in-home estimate is the most accurate way to price your specific project.
Do you help choose tile, fixtures, and finishes?
Yes. Material selection and planning are part of our process — we help you choose tile, vanities, fixtures, and finishes that fit your home and budget before construction begins.
