Our Process
- Initial Consultation & Design: We started with a thorough consultation to understand the homeowners’ needs, style preferences, and budget. Our design team then created a 3D rendering of the proposed layout, allowing the clients to visualize the final space before construction began.
- Demolition & Framing: Once the design was approved, our team carefully demolished the existing bathroom, taking care to minimize dust and disruption to the rest of the home. We then framed the new, expanded shower and prepared the space for the new plumbing and electrical.
- Plumbing & Electrical Rough-in: Our licensed plumbers and electricians then completed the rough-in for the new double vanity, shower fixtures, and lighting, ensuring everything was up to code and ready for inspection.
- Installation & Finishes: After the rough-in inspections were passed, we proceeded with the installation of the new tile, vanity, countertops, and fixtures. Our skilled craftsmen paid close attention to every detail, ensuring a high-quality finish.
- Final Walkthrough & Handover: Upon completion, we conducted a final walkthrough with the homeowners to ensure their complete satisfaction. We then handed over their beautiful new bathroom, ready for them to enjoy.

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Seattle, 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.
