Kirkland Classic Bathroom Remodel
This full bathroom remodel in Kirkland’s Norkirk neighborhood turned a dated, closed-in bath into a bright and functional retreat. We kept the footprint, took the room down to the studs, and rebuilt it with a freestanding soaking tub, an aged brass shower system, a custom green vanity, and handmade-look tile. The result is a modern space that still respects the character of the original home.
Modern Comfort That Respects Old Kirkland Character
Norkirk is full of established homes where owners want updated function without losing the character that drew them there. This remodel delivers both.
- Warmth Through Materials: A hunter green shaker vanity, aged brass fixtures, and walnut floating shelves layer warmth over a clean white and greige backdrop.
- A Spa-Style Soak: A freestanding soaking tub paired with a ceiling-mounted shower rail brings a spa feel to the room while still fitting the compact footprint of an older home.
- Handmade-Look Tile: Textured wall tile runs floor to ceiling to add depth and quiet movement without overpowering a smaller space.

Considered Details, Careful Execution
Layered Lighting:
Fluted brass sconces flank the arched mirror and work with natural light from the existing window, so the room stays bright from morning to evening.
Function in a Compact Space:
Floating walnut shelves and a full-storage vanity add everyday function without crowding the floor, which keeps a smaller bath feeling open.
The Design-Build Advantage:
As a family run design-build team, we manage the full project in house, from layout and permits to plumbing, tile, and final trim. One accountable team keeps the quality consistent from demolition to the last detail.

Client Reviews
Bathroom Remodeling in Kirkland: Common Questions
How long does a full bathroom remodel take?
A full gut and rebuild at this level usually runs four to seven weeks on site. Custom materials with longer lead times, like specialty tile or fixtures, can extend that, which is why we confirm the schedule before demolition begins.
What does a bathroom remodel like this cost in Kirkland?
A full custom bathroom remodel on the Eastside typically starts in the mid five figures and rises with the size of the room and the level of finishes. We provide a fixed scope and price after an on-site consultation, so the numbers do not move once work starts.
Do you work on older Kirkland homes?
Yes. Much of our work is in established neighborhoods like Norkirk, Market, and Houghton, where older framing and plumbing need extra care. We plan for those conditions up front so surprises behind the walls do not derail the budget or timeline.
Can you match the character of a classic home?
Yes. We blend period-friendly choices like handmade-look tile and warm metals with modern function, so the finished room fits the home instead of fighting it.
