Bathroom remodeling in Renton.
A lot of Renton’s post-war homes were built with one small bathroom — and seventy years later, plenty still have it, original tile and all. Go Far Construction delivers full bathroom remodels across Renton: hall baths rebuilt from the studs, true walk-in showers with real waterproofing, tub-to-shower conversions, and second bathrooms added where the house never had one, from a family-owned, licensed Washington general contractor with 12+ years on homes across King and Snohomish counties.
The housing stock sets the work. In the post-war homes of the Highlands and Renton Hill, the bathroom is often original to the house — mud-set tile, a cast-iron tub, galvanized supply lines, and a fan that never quite worked. The remodel that matters here rebuilds the room from the studs: proper waterproofing, modern plumbing and ventilation, and a tub-to-shower conversion where nobody has drawn a bath in years. In the ’80s and ’90s plats of Benson Hill, the project is usually the primary bath — the garden tub traded for a true walk-in shower with custom tile. Both get the full-remodel standard on our bathroom remodeling service page.
On budget: most full bathroom remodels in the Renton area land between about $20,000 and $60,000 — our Seattle-area cost guide and small bathroom cost guide show where the money goes. In a one-bath post-war home, the bigger win is often the second bathroom — Kennydale’s daylight basements take one naturally, and our bathroom addition guide covers the real numbers. Long-time owners staying put often fold in aging-in-place details — curbless showers, blocking for future grab bars, better lighting — while the walls are already open.
Permits for plumbing, electrical, and structural changes run through the City of Renton; we prepare the application, carry fees in an itemized written estimate, and meet every inspection, as on all our Renton projects. Many owners pair the bath with the kitchen while the trades are mobilized — see our Renton kitchen remodeling page.

Renton bathroom remodeling questions
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Renton?
Most full bathroom remodels in the Renton area land between about $20,000 and $60,000 depending on scope and finish level — a hall bath refresh sits at the lower end, a full primary bath with a true walk-in shower and custom tile at the upper end. Every project gets an itemized written estimate before any demolition.
Can you add a second bathroom to a one-bath Renton home?
Yes — and it’s often the highest-value project in the house. Daylight basements in Kennydale and on Renton’s slopes usually have the space and drain access to take a full bathroom, and a primary-bedroom corner can often fit a three-quarter bath. Our bathroom addition guide covers layouts and real costs.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Renton?
A full bathroom remodel typically runs three to five weeks of construction once materials are on hand. Tile, glass, and vanity lead times drive the schedule, so we order everything before demolition starts. Rebuilding an original post-war bath from the studs sits at the longer end of that range.
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Renton?
If plumbing moves, circuits are added, or walls change — yes. Like-for-like fixture swaps usually don’t need one. We handle the City of Renton application, include the fees in your estimate, and meet every inspector on site.
