Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
Seattle, Washington
Vasa Construction LLC is a bathroom remodeling contractor in Seattle, Washington, rebuilding bathrooms in homes throughout the Puget Sound region. Bathrooms are the wettest rooms in a house and the least forgiving of shortcuts taken behind the tile, so we build from the substrate outward rather than from the finish inward. Demolition, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, ventilation, and the plumbing and electrical underneath all fall inside one written scope with clear allowances. That discipline comes from 25+ years of demolishing other people's shortcuts in a climate where indoor humidity never really drops. Get your free bathroom remodeling estimate today!

Failures in this room are almost always moisture failures, which is why we do not skip membrane systems, sloped pans, or correctly sized exhaust. You see the framing and subfloor once the old enclosure is out, and any rot gets priced and approved before we build over it.
Shower and Tub Replacement
Old units hide the damage happening around them. Removing the enclosure exposes the framing and subfloor, letting us correct rot and rebuild the pan before anything new goes into the space.
Waterproofing and Tile Installation
Membrane systems, backer board, and correctly sloped bases do the actual work. Tile then goes over a substrate designed to keep water out, rather than serving as the waterproofing layer itself.
Vanity, Sink, and Fixture Installation
Height, depth, and clearance shape daily use more than finish does. Cabinets, faucets, toilets, and hardware get selected and set so a small footprint still feels workable for two people.
Bathroom Plumbing and Electrical
Original supply lines, drains, and circuits in older homes rarely meet current requirements. Updating them while walls are open covers ground-fault protection, proper venting, and shut-off valves that actually turn.
Ventilation and Moisture Control
An undersized fan guarantees future problems. Correct capacity for the room volume, ducting routed fully outside, and timer or humidity sensing controls keep steam from settling into drywall and framing.
Accessible and Walk-In Conversions
Curbless entries, blocking for grab bars, wider doorways, and bench seating make a bathroom usable across decades of life changes without requiring the whole room to be rebuilt again later.

Bathroom Surfaces and Fixtures
We work in porcelain, natural stone, acrylic, and glass. In a room this small every surface gets touched daily and soaked weekly, so durability and cleaning effort matter more than they would anywhere else in the house.
Porcelain and Ceramic Tile
The workhorse of any wet room. Porcelain absorbs almost no water, handles thermal shock, and comes in formats from mosaic to large-format panels that cut the grout lines where dirt collects.
Natural Stone
Marble, slate, and limestone bring depth that no printed tile quite matches. They need sealing on a regular schedule and dislike acidic cleaners, so they suit owners willing to maintain them properly.
Acrylic and Composite Shower Pans
Factory-formed bases seal reliably and install in a fraction of the time a mortared pan takes. They clean easily and suit busy households and rental properties where grout maintenance is unrealistic.
Glass Enclosures
Frameless panels make a small bathroom read much larger than framed doors and curtains do. Tempered safety glass with a factory-applied coating resists the mineral spotting our water leaves behind.

Refresh Your Bathroom With Comfort and Style
Nobody gives guests a tour of the bathroom, and yet it absorbs more use per square foot than anywhere else in the house. It also fails more expensively than anywhere else when the layers behind the tile are rushed, because water reaches the joists long before it reaches your attention. Building it correctly is unglamorous work, membranes and slopes and fan ducting, and it is the whole difference between 20 quiet years and a callback in 3. Vasa Construction LLC does that work throughout Seattle, Washington. Reach us through our contact page for a free estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A standard hall bathroom typically takes 3 to 4 weeks, and a primary suite 5 to 7. Tile curing, inspection scheduling, and custom fixture lead times account for much of that.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Seattle?
Swapping fixtures in place usually does not require one. Moving plumbing, altering framing, or adding circuits does. Vasa Construction LLC confirms requirements for Seattle, Washington projects before demolition starts.
What should go behind shower tile?
A waterproof membrane over cement backer board, with sealed corners, seams, and penetrations. Standard drywall or unsealed backer alone will eventually fail, regardless of how well the tile itself was installed.
Is a tub or a walk-in shower better for resale?
Keep at least one tub in the house, ideally in a secondary bathroom. A large walk-in shower in the primary suite generally appeals more to buyers than a rarely used soaking tub.
How large should the exhaust fan be?
Roughly 1 cubic foot per minute per square foot of floor area, with more for enclosed showers or high ceilings. Ducting must terminate outdoors, never into an attic or soffit cavity.
Can a bathroom be relocated to a different part of the house?
Yes, though drain routing and venting drive both feasibility and cost. Locations near existing stacks are straightforward; positions far from them may require opening floors or building a new vent path.
What causes mold to keep returning in a bathroom?
Humidity that never leaves. Undersized or unducted fans, fans switched off too early, and moisture behind failed grout all keep surfaces damp. Vasa Construction LLC corrects both causes across Seattle, Washington.
Should I choose tile or a solid surface shower base?
Tile allows any shape and matches the walls, but grout needs maintenance. Solid acrylic or composite pans install faster, seal reliably, and clean easily, which suits busy households and rental properties well.
