Full Bathroom Renovation in Sacramento

Layout changes are the defining feature of this tier — moving a wall, relocating the toilet or vanity, or reworking the door swing to open up the space. Any plumbing fixture relocation involved is coordinated through our licensed plumbing partner, so rough-in work is handled correctly and up to code before we close up walls and floors.

For tub-to-shower conversions, this is where we do a true curbless, zero-threshold walk-in shower: removing the tub, reframing the subfloor to build in proper slope for drainage without a curb, and waterproofing the entire pan and walls before tile or a grout-free quartz shower wall system goes in. We also build in ADA-compliant and aging-in-place features at this level when homeowners want them — grab bars anchored into real blocking, built-in shower seating, and wider doorways for walker or wheelchair access, all designed to look intentional rather than institutional.

Finishes at this tier are typically a step up across the board: premium tile and stone, a larger custom vanity with a quartz or natural stone countertop, upgraded lighting, and heated flooring as an available comfort upgrade. Ventilation gets resized to match the new layout, and every wet area gets the same waterproofing rigor as our other tiers — there's just more of it, because more of the room is being rebuilt.

A Full Renovation typically runs six to eight weeks, and it starts with permitting — layout and plumbing changes require permits in Sacramento, and we handle that process for you before demo begins. Demo goes down to the studs and subfloor in the areas being reworked, followed by framing changes and plumbing rough-in through our licensed plumbing partner.

Waterproofing is the step that most affects your timeline, especially around a curbless shower pan, and the membrane needs proper cure time before tile goes over it — this isn't a place to rush regardless of schedule pressure. After that, tile setting, vanity and countertop installation, lighting, and fixtures fill out the remaining weeks, ending with a final walkthrough where we go over the finished space and warranty coverage together.

A Full Renovation is the right tier if your bathroom's actual layout is the problem — not just its finishes — or if a curbless walk-in shower conversion is the goal. It's also the right call if you're planning to age in place and want grab bars, seating, and wider clearances built in properly from the start rather than added later.

If your existing layout genuinely works and your shower or tub just needs to be replaced within its current footprint, you likely don't need to spend at this level — the Mid-Range Remodel covers a full shower and vanity replacement without the cost of moving walls or plumbing. And if your real complaint is just dated finishes on a bathroom that otherwise functions fine, the Refresh will get you there faster and for less.

Because this tier involves permitting, plumbing coordination, and structural changes, it's worth having a detailed conversation during your free estimate about what's actually driving the renovation — sometimes what feels like a layout problem can be solved within a Mid-Range budget, and it's better to know that before committing to the bigger project.
