A bathroom renovation is more than choosing new tile and fixtures. The existing space has to be carefully removed, prepared and rebuilt before the final finishes are installed.
This bathroom was transformed from an outdated tub configuration into a cleaner, more modern space with a walk-in shower, updated tile, glass enclosure and coordinated finishes.

A Beautiful Bathroom Starts Behind the Tile
The tile, vanity and fixtures are what you see when a bathroom is finished. But the preparation underneath those finishes is what helps the bathroom perform properly over time.
The photo here is one of our own Arlington projects mid-build, with the Schluter KERDI waterproofing system installed and inspected before a single tile went on the wall.
Substrate Preparation
Walls and floors need a solid, properly prepared surface before tile and finish materials are installed. Existing damage or unsuitable surfaces are addressed before they are covered.
Shower Waterproofing
Wet areas require a properly installed waterproofing system before tile installation, with particular attention to corners, penetrations, transitions and niches.
Drainage & Shower Preparation
The shower base, drain slope and surrounding surfaces must work together to direct water where it belongs.
Tile Layout
Good tile installation starts before the first tile is set. Layout, cuts, grout joints, niches and transitions are planned to create a clean finished appearance.
Ventilation
Proper bathroom ventilation helps manage the moisture generated by showers and daily bathroom use, protecting the finishes and the rooms around them.
Finish Details
Caulking, trim, drywall, paint, fixture placement and final adjustments are small details that have a major effect on the finished room.
Bathroom Renovation for Arlington Homes
Bathrooms in Arlington can vary significantly from one property to another. Older single-family homes may have compact layouts, older wall assemblies, plaster or aging drywall and uneven existing surfaces, while townhomes, condos and newer properties can present different space and project requirements.
That is why we evaluate the existing bathroom before recommending the final scope. During the site visit, we look at the existing layout, fixtures, shower or tub configuration, flooring, ventilation and visible conditions that may affect the renovation.
Keeping plumbing fixtures in their existing locations can sometimes simplify a bathroom remodel, while changing the layout may create more design possibilities but can also require additional plumbing, electrical or permit considerations.
Our goal is to develop a bathroom renovation that makes sense for the home, not force the same solution into every space.

Bathroom Remodeling Permits in Arlington County
Do bathroom remodels require permits in Arlington? It depends on the work being performed.
Some replacement work may not require a permit when fixtures and certain components are being replaced with the same type in the same location and no associated piping, wiring or other regulated work is being relocated.
More extensive bathroom renovations may require permits when the project includes new or relocated plumbing fixtures, electrical work, structural alterations or other changes covered by Arlington County requirements.
Because every bathroom remodel is different, permit requirements are determined from the actual project scope before applicable work begins.

Permit requirements are determined by Arlington County and may change. Homeowners should refer to Arlington County's current requirements for their specific property and project.
What Local Homeowners Are Saying
Good remodeling is about more than the finished room. Communication, respect for the home, clean work and attention to detail all matter throughout the project.
We were referred to Jose by a friend and were extremely pleased with all the work he did around our house. Jose and his colleague were extremely professional, moving and covering all of our furniture during each job and always cleaning up meticulously. He was very efficient and completed each of our three jobs within a few days of signing the contract. We highly recommend him.
I am thankful to have found Jose and his team. He is precise, thoughtful, transparent, and fair, all of the things you would want in a contractor. He has done extensive work throughout our home, all of which produced top notch results. He takes great pride in his work and truly cares about the long-term well being of your home.
I just wanted to say how incredibly pleased we have been with Jose's team and the flooring work they completed in our home last fall. From start to finish, the process was smooth and professional. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and his consistent performance. Thank you!!!
They are not only professional at what they do, but also reliable and dependable. As far as workmanship they just cannot be beat.
Very punctual, clean and thorough job. We arrived on time and completed the job as set forth by their quote.
Bathroom Remodeling Questions, Answered
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Arlington, VA?
Bathroom remodeling costs depend on the size of the bathroom, existing conditions, project scope, tile and fixture selections, plumbing or electrical changes, shower configuration and other finish materials. We provide a detailed written estimate after reviewing the bathroom and planned scope.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
The schedule depends on the scope of work, material availability, inspections when required and the condition of the existing bathroom. A focused renovation may require less time than a complete bathroom rebuild involving plumbing, electrical, waterproofing and extensive tile work. We discuss the expected project sequence before construction begins.
Do bathroom remodels require a permit in Arlington?
Not every bathroom project requires the same permits. Arlington County provides exemptions for certain like-for-like replacement work, while new or relocated plumbing fixtures, electrical work and more extensive alterations may require permits. The requirements should be evaluated based on the specific scope of the project.
Can you convert a bathtub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions can include removal of the existing bathtub, shower preparation, waterproofing, tile, plumbing fixtures, niches and other shower features depending on the project.
Do you install bathroom tile?
Yes. Bathroom remodeling projects can include shower wall tile, bathroom floor tile, niches and other tiled surfaces.
How do you waterproof a tile shower?
The specific waterproofing system depends on the shower design and materials being used. Proper installation includes preparing the substrate and treating wet-area surfaces, corners, penetrations and transitions before tile is installed.
Can I purchase my own tile, vanity and bathroom fixtures?
Customer-supplied materials can be incorporated into a project when agreed upon in advance. Product dimensions, compatibility, quantities, availability and delivery timing should be confirmed before installation. Manufacturer defects, missing components and warranties for customer-purchased products remain the responsibility of the purchaser unless otherwise stated in the written agreement.
Can you remodel a small bathroom?
Yes. Small bathroom remodeling often focuses on making better use of the existing space through the shower or tub configuration, vanity size, storage, lighting, tile and finish selections.
Can we keep the existing plumbing layout?
Yes, when the existing configuration works for the new design. Keeping fixtures in their current locations can sometimes reduce the amount of plumbing modification required. We evaluate this during the site consultation.
Do you remodel bathrooms in Arlington condos and townhomes?
Yes, depending on the property and project requirements. Condo projects may also involve building or association requirements in addition to applicable Arlington County requirements, so those should be reviewed before construction begins.
Can I stay in my home during a bathroom remodel?
In many cases, yes. The answer depends on the extent of the project, whether another bathroom is available and the amount of construction taking place in the home. We discuss access and project logistics before work begins.
