Bathroom Remodel in Pittsburgh, PA

Types of bathroom remodels we build

• Primary bathroom suites — Walk-in showers, double vanities, freestanding tubs, and heated floors. Usually our largest and most design-forward bathroom projects.
• Hall & guest bathrooms — Full tear-outs that update tile, fixtures, vanity, and lighting while staying within a reasonable budget.
• Powder rooms — Half-baths where every surface matters because there's nowhere to hide. We treat these like jewelry boxes.
• Aging-in-place & accessibility — Curbless showers, grab bars, comfort-height fixtures, and wider doorways for clients staying in their homes long-term.
• Basement & additional baths — Adding a new bathroom where one didn't exist before, including all rough plumbing and proper venting.

What does a bathroom remodel cost in Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh bathroom remodel costs in 2026 generally fall into these tiers:

• Powder room refresh: $5,000 - $12,000
• Standard hall bath full remodel: $18,000 - $35,000
• Mid-range primary bathroom: $35,000 - $65,000
• High-end / luxury primary suite: $70,000 - $150,000+
• Adding a new bathroom from scratch: $25,000 - $60,000+ depending on plumbing accessibility

The biggest drivers of cost are: tile selection and quantity, whether you're moving plumbing, whether the existing subfloor and framing are sound, and the level of waterproofing system (Schluter, Wedi, hot-mopped) you specify.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

Most Pittsburgh bathroom remodels take 3 to 6 weeks of active construction. The bottleneck is usually tile work and the time required for waterproofing membranes to cure properly. We don't skip that cure time — that's where the leaks ten years from now come from.

The details that separate a good bathroom from a great one

Most Pittsburgh bathroom remodels we see from other contractors get the visible stuff right and the invisible stuff wrong. Here's what we don't compromise on:

1. Proper waterproofing membrane. Schluter Kerdi or equivalent on every wet wall and shower pan — not just a thicker coat of paint and hope.
2. Backer board behind tile, never drywall in wet zones. Sounds obvious. Constantly violated.
3. A real exhaust fan, vented outside. CFM matched to the room size, ducted through the roof or sidewall — not just dumped into the attic.
4. GFCI protection on every receptacle and code-compliant lighting fixtures within shower zones.
5. Pre-slope the shower pan correctly. The drain shouldn't be the lowest point only because you got lucky with the mud bed.
6. Real plumbing valves. Pressure-balanced, mounted at the right height, with access for future service.
