Full bathroom remodel: old tile out, waterproofed shower in.
A bathroom that looks new can be rotting behind the tile
Most of the bathrooms we tear out in Seattle failed for the same few reasons. None of them show up until it is expensive.
Tile set over drywall or a bad shower pan
Without a real waterproof membrane, water reaches studs and subfloor. Mold and rot follow within a few years.
Tile laid on a flexing subfloor
Old joists and thin subfloor flex under tile. Grout cracks, then tiles pop loose.
No working exhaust fan
Seattle’s damp climate makes ventilation critical. An undersized or unvented fan leaves moisture in the walls.
Unlevel tile and leaking valves
Lippage, crooked grout lines and loose valves show up on budget jobs done without proper prep.
Opened up, repaired and waterproofed before a single tile goes down
- Down to the studs when needed. We open walls and floors, fix rot and level the subfloor before rebuilding.
- Full waterproofing system. Membrane on walls and pan, sealed seams and niches, and a flood test before tile.
- Tile installed with leveling systems. Flat floors, straight lines and clean cuts around niches and fixtures.
- Ventilation brought up to code. Properly sized exhaust fan ducted outside, permitted where required.

What Seattle-area homeowners say after the job
Very professional, excellent work ethic, clean job site, great staff, and nothing changed on the agreement on price. The quality of the work was perfect.
Roof vents, meeting code for crawl space, painting deck and a bunch of other work. Responsive and demonstrate huge ownership of their work. Hard to find such contractors.
Project was completed quickly and on budget. They refaced a dated fireplace and installed two picture windows. Really high quality job in record time.
I was especially impressed by how thoroughly they protected the floors before getting started. Once the job was complete, they left the place spotless.

What homeowners ask before booking
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Seattle?
A full bathroom remodel in Seattle typically costs $25,000–$60,000. A smaller refresh can be $10,000–$20,000, a tub-to-shower conversion $10,000–$25,000, and a large primary bathroom renovation $60,000–$120,000 or more. We give you a fixed, itemized price after a free walkthrough.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Most full bathroom remodels take 3–6 weeks of construction. A tub-to-shower conversion or refresh usually takes 1–2 weeks. You get a written schedule before demolition.
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Seattle?
A permit is usually required when you move plumbing, add electrical circuits, change walls or add an exhaust fan duct. Replacing fixtures in place often does not need one. We check your scope and pull permits when required.
Can you convert my bathtub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. We remove the tub, rebuild and waterproof the shower base, tile the walls and install a low curb or curbless entry with glass.
How do you prevent leaks and mold in a new shower?
We use a full waterproofing membrane on walls and the shower pan, seal every seam and niche, flood test before tile and install a properly vented exhaust fan.
Can I use my only bathroom during the remodel?
During the main construction the bathroom is not usable. We plan the schedule to keep that period as short as possible and can phase work when you have only one bathroom.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. The walkthrough and written estimate are free and yours to keep.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Inreal Construction is registered as INREAL INC with Washington State L&I, contractor registration #INREAI*784MG, with a $30,000 contractor bond and $1M/$2M general liability insurance.
