Bathroom Services We Offer
Whether you want a simple refresh or a complete bathroom remodel from the studs out, our team handles every detail. We work with you to design a bathroom that fits your style, your budget, and your daily life.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Step into a custom walk-in shower built to last. We handle framing, waterproofing, tile work, glass doors, and fixtures. Whether you want a curbless design or a classic tiled base, we build it right for your Des Moines area home.
Bathtub Replacement
Replace your old, worn-out tub with a modern soaking tub, freestanding tub, or alcove insert. We handle the plumbing, surround, and finish work so your new tub looks and works like it should for years to come.
Tile & Flooring
Tile makes or breaks a bathroom remodel. We install porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and luxury vinyl in showers, on floors, and on walls. Every cut is precise, every grout line is clean, and every surface is sealed properly.
Vanity & Cabinetry
A new vanity changes the entire feel of a bathroom. We install single and double vanities, custom cabinetry, countertops, and mirrors. We help you pick the right fit for your space and make sure everything is level and solid.
Plumbing Updates
Old pipes and outdated fixtures slow down any bathroom remodel. We replace supply lines, drains, faucets, showerheads, and toilets. If your plumbing needs brought up to code, we handle that too — no subcontractor runaround.

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs — Answered by Our Team
Got questions about your bathroom remodel? Here are the answers to the ones we hear most from Des Moines and Central Iowa homeowners.
Most bathroom remodels in Des Moines and Central Iowa cost between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on the size of the bathroom, materials you choose, and how much of the layout changes. A basic refresh with new tile and vanity runs on the lower end, while a full gut renovation with custom tile showers and new plumbing falls on the higher end. We provide free estimates with a detailed written quote so you know your exact cost before we start.
Most bathroom remodels in Central Iowa take 2 to 4 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. A simple vanity and floor swap can be done faster, while a full bathroom renovation with plumbing changes and custom tile work takes closer to 4 weeks. We give you a clear timeline before we start so you can plan around it.
Waterproofing is one of the most important parts of any bathroom remodel. We use a combination of cement board backer, liquid waterproof membranes, and proper drain connections to make sure your shower and tub areas stay leak-free for decades. Cutting corners on waterproofing leads to mold and structural damage, so we never skip this step.
Yes, tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most popular bathroom remodel requests. We remove the old tub, update the plumbing, install proper waterproofing, and build a custom tile walk-in shower in its place. This upgrade opens up the bathroom and adds a modern look that most homebuyers prefer.
It depends on the scope of work. Simple cosmetic updates like new paint and a vanity swap usually do not require a permit. However, if we are moving plumbing, adding electrical outlets, or making structural changes, permits are required. We handle the permit process for you so everything is done by code.
A mid-range bathroom remodel typically returns 60 to 70 percent of the investment at resale, according to national remodeling data. Beyond the numbers, an updated bathroom makes your home easier to sell and more enjoyable to live in every single day. It is one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
