You don’t need to move to get the bathroom you actually want.

Why Holladay Homeowners Choose Us
Here’s the thing about bathroom remodeling in Holladay. You need someone who understands that many homes here sit closer to the foothills, which means dealing with older plumbing systems and harder water than other parts of the valley. We’ve been doing this long enough to know what works and what doesn’t in your neighborhood.
We’re not the cheapest option out there. But we’re also not going to disappear halfway through your project or cut corners that’ll cost you thousands to fix later. You’re probably reading this because you’ve heard a horror story from a neighbor. We get it. That’s exactly why we do things differently.
What makes us different:
- We show up when we say we will
- You’ll get honest answers about what your bathroom actually needs (not what makes us the most money)
- Our team handles everything from design to the final caulk line
- Licensed, bonded, and insured in Utah
- We clean up every single day
What You Can Expect
Most bathroom remodels in Holladay take about two to three weeks from start to finish. That’s for a full renovation where we’re gutting everything and starting fresh. If you’re doing a smaller refresh, we’re usually done in about a week.
Your typical timeline looks like this:
- Days 1-2: Demolition and removal of old fixtures
- Days 3-5: Plumbing and electrical rough-in work
- Days 6-10: Tile installation, waterproofing, and prep work
- Days 11-14: Fixture installation, vanity, countertops
- Days 15-16: Final touches, paint, caulking, and cleanup
Yes, you’ll need to use another bathroom during this time. Most families use a guest bathroom or the kids’ bathroom. Some folks camp out in the basement. It’s inconvenient, but it’s temporary.
What You Can Expect
Look, nobody wants to talk about money first, but it’s probably your biggest question. In Holladay, most bathroom remodels run between $15,000 and $35,000. That’s for a complete renovation of a standard bathroom with quality materials.
Here’s what drives the cost:
- Size of your bathroom (obviously, bigger costs more)
- Material choices (marble costs way more than ceramic tile)
- Whether you’re moving plumbing or just replacing what’s there
- Custom features like heated floors or a steam shower
- The condition of what’s behind your walls (sometimes there are surprises)
A small powder room refresh might cost around $8,000 to $12,000. A luxurious master bathroom with all the upgrades can run $50,000 or more. Most of our Holladay clients land somewhere in the middle.
We’ll give you a detailed estimate before we start any work. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. If we find something unexpected during demolition, we’ll talk to you about it before adding a single dollar to your project.
Services We Offer
Master Bathroom Remodeling
Your master bathroom should feel like a retreat, not a chore. We help you create a spa-like space with walk-in showers, double vanities, and all the storage you need. If you’re dealing with that awkward layout from the 90s where the toilet is right next to the tub, we can fix that too.
Guest Bathroom & Powder Room Updates
These smaller spaces pack a big punch for resale value. We’ll help you make the most of every square inch while creating something your guests will actually remember.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Getting rid of that old tub and installing a walk-in shower is one of the most popular requests we get. Frameless glass, multiple shower heads, built-in benches. We can make it happen.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
If nobody in your house has taken a bath in five years, why keep that tub? Converting it to a shower opens up your bathroom and makes better use of the space.
Accessible Bathroom Remodeling
Planning for aging in place? We install grab bars, walk-in tubs, curbless showers, and comfort-height toilets that blend seamlessly with your design. You won’t sacrifice style for safety.
Complete Bathroom Renovations
Sometimes you need to start from scratch. We handle full gut jobs, layout changes, moving walls, and creating entirely new spaces that work better for your family.
The Design Process
We don’t just show up and start swinging hammers. Here’s how we actually work:
Free Consultation: We come to your home, look at your current bathroom, and talk about what you want to change. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just honest conversation about what’s possible.
Design Planning: We’ll help you pick out everything from tile to fixtures. If you’ve been saving Pinterest boards for three years, bring them. If you have no idea what you want, that’s fine too. We’ll guide you through it.
Detailed Estimate: You’ll get a written estimate that breaks down exactly what you’re paying for. Materials, labor, timeline. Everything.
Project Schedule: Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll schedule your project and keep you updated every step of the way.
Materials That Work in Utah
Living in Utah means dealing with hard water. Really hard water. If you don’t choose the right materials, you’ll spend half your life scrubbing water spots and calcium buildup.
We recommend:
- Porcelain or ceramic tile (easier to clean than natural stone)
- Frameless glass shower doors (fewer places for buildup)
- Water-resistant flooring like luxury vinyl plank
- Quality grout and sealant that stands up to moisture
- Fixtures with finishes that don’t show water spots as badly
For countertops, quartz holds up better than marble in our climate. It’s nonporous, which means no sealing and easier cleaning.
Common Holladay Bathroom Challenges
Older Home Plumbing
Many homes in Holladay were built in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Sometimes the plumbing behind your walls needs updating. We’ll let you know if we find anything during demolition, and we’ll handle the upgrades so everything’s up to current code.
Ventilation Issues
Utah’s dry climate means proper bathroom ventilation is critical. Without it, you’re looking at mold and mildew problems. We install quality exhaust fans sized correctly for your space.
Layout Problems
A lot of older Holladay bathrooms have weird layouts. Toilets in corners, showers you can barely turn around in, zero counter space. We can usually fix these issues without adding square footage.
Hard Water Buildup
This is huge in our area. We help you choose fixtures and finishes that minimize the appearance of water spots and make cleaning easier.
What’s Included in Your Remodel
When we say we handle everything, we mean everything:
- Complete demolition and debris removal
- All plumbing work (we’re licensed plumbers)
- Electrical upgrades and new lighting
- Tile installation (floors, walls, showers)
- Waterproofing and moisture barriers
- Custom shower pan installation
- Vanity and countertop installation
- Fixture installation (toilets, sinks, showers, tubs)
- Painting and finishing work
- Permit handling and inspections
- Daily cleanup (we don’t leave a mess)
Permits and Code Compliance
Yes, you need permits for most bathroom remodels in Holladay. If you’re moving plumbing, changing electrical, or making structural changes, permits are required.
Don’t worry. We handle all of that for you. We’ll pull the permits, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything meets current Utah building codes. It’s part of what you’re paying for.
Skipping permits might save a few hundred dollars now, but it’ll cost you thousands later when you try to sell your home and it comes up during inspection.
Choosing Your Materials
This is where things get fun. Or overwhelming. Depending on how you look at it.
Tile Selection You’ve got options. Ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, glass, large format, small mosaic. Each has pros and cons. Porcelain is our top recommendation for Utah bathrooms because it’s durable, water-resistant, and easier to maintain than natural stone.
Fixtures and Finishes Chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze. Whatever matches your style. Just know that matte finishes show water spots less than shiny chrome in our hard water areas.
Vanities and Storage We can do floating vanities, traditional cabinets, double sinks, single sinks. Think about how much storage you actually need. Most people underestimate this and regret it later.
Lighting Good lighting changes everything. We typically recommend a combination of overhead lighting, vanity lights, and maybe some recessed lighting for ambiance.
Countertops Quartz, granite, marble, or solid surface. Each has a different price point and maintenance level. We’ll walk you through your options based on your budget and how much upkeep you want to deal with.
Design Styles We Create
Modern Contemporary
Clean lines, minimal fuss, sleek fixtures. This works great in newer Holladay homes or if you want to modernize an older space.
Traditional Classic
Timeless design with elegant details. Marble countertops, classic subway tile, traditional vanities. Never goes out of style.
Spa-Like Retreat
Think luxury hotel bathroom. Rainfall showerheads, soaking tubs, heated floors, soft lighting. This is what most of our master bathroom clients are after.
Transitional Style
Blends traditional and modern elements. The most popular choice because it works with almost any home style and ages well.
Farmhouse
Shiplap, rustic vanities, vintage-inspired fixtures. Works beautifully in many Holladay homes with that cozy, lived-in feel.
Why Quality Materials Matter
We’ve fixed a lot of “cheap” bathroom remodels that failed after just a few years. Grout cracking, tiles popping off, fixtures breaking, leaks behind walls. It’s expensive to fix and incredibly frustrating.
Quality materials cost more upfront, but they last. You’re not redoing your bathroom every five years. You’re doing it once and enjoying it for decades.
We use:
- Manufacturer-certified products with solid warranties
- Professional-grade waterproofing systems
- Quality grout and adhesives that resist moisture
- Fixtures from trusted brands that last
- Materials rated for bathroom use (not all tile is created equal)
The Holladay Advantage
Living in Holladay means you’re close to great shopping, restaurants, and outdoor recreation. Your home should reflect that lifestyle. We help create bathrooms that fit how you actually live.
Whether you’re in Olympus Cove, near Walker Lane, around Holladay Village, or anywhere else in the area, we know your neighborhood. We understand the mix of older established homes and newer builds. We’ve worked on streets like yours and we get what you’re dealing with.
Working with Licensed Professionals
We’re Utah state-licensed contractors. That means we’ve met the education requirements, passed the exams, and maintain proper insurance and bonding. It matters more than most people realize.
Licensed contractors:
- Carry proper insurance (so you’re protected if something goes wrong)
- Pull permits correctly
- Know current building codes
- Have recourse if there’s a problem
- Can’t just disappear on you
If someone offers you a too-good-to-be-true price and “doesn’t bother with permits,” run. Fast. You’ll end up paying double to fix their mistakes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my bathroom remodel take?
Most full bathroom remodels take two to three weeks. Smaller updates might be done in a week. Extensive renovations with major layout changes can take four weeks or more. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
Can I still live in my house during the remodel?
Yes. Most families do. You'll just need to use a different bathroom while we work. We seal off the work area to minimize dust and mess in the rest of your home.
What if you find problems behind the walls?
Sometimes we do. Old pipes, mold, water damage, electrical issues. When that happens, we stop and talk to you about it before moving forward. We'll explain what needs to be fixed and what it'll cost. No surprises.
How much should I budget for unexpected costs?
Smart homeowners set aside 10-15% of their total budget for unexpected issues. Not every project needs it, but it's better to have it and not need it than the other way around.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes. We provide a workmanship warranty on our labor, and all the products we install come with manufacturer warranties. If something goes wrong, we fix it.
Will this remodel increase my home value?
Bathroom remodels typically return about 60-70% of their cost in added home value. But honestly, most people do it because they're tired of their current bathroom and plan to enjoy the upgrade themselves. The resale value is a nice bonus.
How do I prepare for the remodel?
Remove everything from your bathroom before we start. Clear out cabinets, take down shower curtains, remove all toiletries. If you have special tile or fixtures you want to keep, let us know ahead of time. We'll protect your floors and other areas of your home.
