Our approach to bathroom remodeling in Denver

The bathroom is the smallest room in a house and the one with the least margin for error. Waterproofing, airflow, floor slope and tile layout all have to be right, since mistakes stay buried behind finished walls until something leaks. At MKN Construction & Remodeling we treat the hidden layers as the most important part of the work.

We remodel hall baths, primary suites, basement baths and powder rooms across Denver, from small bungalow baths near Washington Park to roomy primary suites in Stapleton. Common requests include swapping a tub for a curbless shower, adding a double vanity, fixing poor ventilation, or turning a dated room into somewhere calm and finished.

You approve the design in 3D first, receive an itemized written estimate, and follow a dated schedule refreshed every week so you always know which trade arrives next.

Pricing

What to expect to pay in Denver (2026)

In 2026, bathroom remodeling in Denver generally runs $14,000 – $55,000+, depending on scope, materials and site conditions. Each job is priced as a fixed, itemized written estimate, so every figure ties to a line you can read before signing.

LevelTypical Denver cost (2026)What it covers
Cosmetic update$14,000 – $26,000A new vanity, fixtures, tile, lighting and paint, with the plumbing staying where it is.
Full mid-range remodel$26,000 – $50,000Taken down to the studs, with a waterproofed shower or tub surround, tile floors, vanity, lighting and ventilation.
Primary suite / structural$50,000+Reworked layouts, curbless showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors and relocated plumbing.

What shifts the price the most

  • Shower size and waterproofing method: sheet or liquid membranes over a properly sloped pan.
  • Tile choice: large-format slabs and mosaics change both the material and the labor bill.
  • Drain relocation: moving a shower or toilet drain in a slab means cutting out and repouring concrete.
  • Basement baths: below-grade plumbing may call for an ejector pump and radon-conscious detailing.

These ranges are general guidance for the Denver metro, and your estimate reflects your own home and selections.

Our Process

How a bathroom project unfolds

Free home consultation

We come to your house, take measurements, learn how you use the space, and talk plainly about what your budget can accomplish.

3D design review

You look over the layout, materials and finishes in 3D, with two or three options when the space allows.

Itemized fixed-price estimate

Each cost is written out. You approve a firm number rather than a range, and any change order is priced in writing before work begins.

Permitting

We prepare and file building and trade permits with the proper city or county and book every inspection.

Ordering and scheduling

Long-lead items are ordered, and you get a dated written schedule before demolition starts.

Demolition and rough-in

Framing, plumbing, electrical and any structural work are completed and inspected one stage at a time.

Finish work

Our crew installs cabinetry, stone, tile, paint, lighting and hardware.

Punch list and final walkthrough

We tour the finished space with you and resolve every open item before calling the job complete.

Materials

Materials chosen for Colorado conditions

ItemOur go-to optionsWhy it suits Colorado
Shower waterproofingSheet or liquid-applied membrane over a pre-sloped panMost shower failures trace back to waterproofing, not tile. It is the unseen layer that sets how long the shower lasts.
TilePorcelain and natural stone in large-format and mosaic stylesPorcelain is dense, easy to maintain and handles everyday wear.
VentilationQuiet, correctly sized fans ducted to the outdoorsColorado's dry air helps, yet steam still feeds mold in a closed room. A properly vented fan protects every finish.
FixturesBrushed-nickel, matte-black and brass finishes with solid-brass valvesQuality finishes and valves keep faucets and showers working smoothly for years.

FAQ

Bathroom Remodeling: questions Denver homeowners ask

What does a bathroom remodel run in Denver?

Simple updates cost roughly $14,000 to $26,000. A full mid-range hall or primary bath lands between $26,000 and $50,000, and large or structural projects start near $50,000. Moving a drain in a slab is typically the biggest single cost.

How long will I be without my bathroom?

Most remodels need 3 to 6 weeks on site. When it is your only bathroom, we map out the sequence and discuss temporary arrangements before we start.

Can you swap my tub for a walk-in shower?

Yes, and it is among the most frequent jobs we do. We check the drain position, floor framing and available space, then design a shower with correct slope and a full waterproofing system.

Do you take care of permits and inspections?

We do. Plumbing, electrical and structural changes need permits, and we file them under our contract and book each inspection.

Is it possible to add a bathroom to my basement?

In many homes it is. A basement bath involves below-grade drain planning, a possible ejector pump and radon considerations, all of which we work through at the design visit.

Which tile is best for a shower?

Porcelain is the practical pick for most homeowners. What sits beneath the tile matters even more, so we start with the membrane, slope and drain details.
