Seattle Bathroom Remodel

This cozy bathroom remodel in Seattle completely transformed a 1940s space into a modern,
elegant retreat. We replaced the old bathtub with a walk-in shower finished in marble-look tile
and black hexagon flooring, added a convenient shampoo niche, and installed sleek glass doors. The remodel also included a new wood vanity with a quartz countertop, fresh tile flooring, new lighting and fixtures, drywall touch-ups, and a complete paint refresh — turning a dated bathroom into a timeless, comfortable space.

What we did

1. Bathroom Demolition and Garbage Disposal

We removed the old bathtub, surround walls, flooring, vanity, toilet, and medicine cabinet,
ensuring the space was fully cleared for the new layout and design. We disposed all the garbage related to the project.

Benefits:

Eliminated all outdated materials and potential water damage, allowing a clean foundation for
the new shower and fixtures while ensuring a smoother installation process.

2. Drywall Installation and Texturing

We installed new drywall where needed, repaired damaged areas, and applied smooth, consistent
texture to both walls and ceilings.

Benefits:

Created clean, flawless surfaces for painting and cabinetry, improved insulation, and provided a modern finished look.

3. Plumbing Installation and Upgrades

We installed new plumbing lines for the walk-in shower, toilet, and vanity, ensuring proper
water pressure and alignment for all new fixtures.

Benefits:

Improved water flow, reduced risk of future leaks, and ensured long-term reliability — a crucial step for any high-quality bathroom remodel.

4. Tile Prep and Waterproofing

We prepped the shower walls with HydroBoard, waterproofed with a professional-grade sealant,
and built the shower pan bedding using a sand mix sealed with Schluter Kerdi membrane. The bathroom floor was prepped with ¼” Fiberock board for added stability.

Benefits:

Provided superior moisture protection, increased tile adhesion, and created a solid, durable base for long-lasting tile performance.

5. Tile Installation

We installed 12×24 marble-look ceramic tiles on the shower walls, curb, and bathroom floor, complemented by matte black hexagon tiles on the shower pan and shampoo niche. Everything was grouted with Delorean Gray Prism grout and sealed with matching 100% silicone.

Benefits:

Delivers a luxurious, cohesive design that’s both easy to maintain and visually stunning. The contrast between marble and black tile gives this bathroom a timeless, high-end look.

6. Finish Work and Vanity Installation

We installed PVC baseboards, an Ariel American Oak solid wood vanity, and topped it with a 1.5-inch Edge Carrara White Quartz countertop.

Benefits:

Combines durability with style, adds storage and warmth through natural wood elements, and enhances the overall elegance of the space.

7. Painting and Finishing Touches

We completed the bathroom transformation with a full interior paint refresh. This included prepping and painting all walls, the ceiling, and baseboards using high-quality moisture-resistant paint designed specifically for bathrooms. Every surface was properly sanded, primed, and finished to achieve smooth, even coverage.

Benefits:

Creates a clean, polished look that enhances the brightness of the space, protects surfaces from humidity and everyday wear, and adds the final touch to complete this elegant bathroom remodel.

8. Fixtures and Lighting Installation

We installed a modern light fixture, LED medicine cabinet, towel warmer, and Delta shower and vanity trims — all selected for quality and modern design.

Benefits:

Improves everyday convenience, enhances lighting and comfort, and ties the entire bathroom together with matching finishes and functionality.

Our clients satisfied with their remodels

The best measure of success is what our clients say. Our customers love their remodels, and their voices share the proof.

We are very pleased with the work done by the team at Golden Remodel and Construction.

Communication with the team throughout the rebuild was great. We had a group chat so we could always bring any questions to Alex and Bohdan. Reall…

Hire this team! We ended up getting 4 estimates for our deck project. Golden remodel gave us a very reasonable estimate but more than that, there wasn’t a lot of back and forth on different charges for different things – it was very cut and dry. Very grateful for this. We wanted lights in our caps, not solar powered and while we ended up doing an easy plug in solution by ourselves, using…

We are extremely happy with the work done in our home. I especially appreciate the attention to detail on our tile work–I didn’t choose the easiest tiles to install. However, you would never know that after seeing the end result. They did such a great job we recommended them to our neighbors, where they were also very pleased with their results. I will only go to Golden Remodel & Construction for futur…

Couldn’t be happier with Golden Remodel & Construction. They tiled a complete master bathroom floor and walk in shower that had to be redone from a prior contractor. They also tiled our hallway bathroom floor and shower surround above the tub in addition to the backsplashes for both bathroom vanities. Alex was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable while we were discussin…

“Alex and his crew were excellent! Flexible, communicative, great value. I had tenants scratch up a large deck all over. Alex was able to put in a very competitive estimate and finish the work in less than a week! Newly refinished deck looks spectacular–exceeded expectations. Done early and no surprises on price. Highly recommend, and I don’t say that…

“We hired these guys to work on our project in Bellevue WA. These guys were incredible to work with. The attention to detail and ideas they had were key to the success of our project. They were also very respectful with doing what we thought was best; which is hard to find. These guys have no ego which makes working with them an absolute pleasure. Very happy with there work and I feel ve…

“This group of people are awesome to work with. Their prices are fair and the work they do is impeccable. I had them tile a master bath and the work is nothing short of perfect. You find a lot of flakes out there, these folks are not that. They arrive on time, they are clean, and they are honest. No cutting corners. I’ll post some photos in the near future once I finish the final fit on the bathroom“
