A better beginning and end to every day
You may have bought a home with a bathroom you always intended to change. Perhaps sharing one sink has become less practical as your family grows, or a bathtub you rarely use occupies space you would rather give to a comfortable shower. Maybe getting ready under unflattering lighting while balancing toiletries on the edge of the sink has shifted from a familiar inconvenience to a daily frustration. Retirement can bring different priorities: warmer floors, easier movement, and time to enjoy the home you have spent years making your own. Whatever brings you to this point, a remodel can make your bathroom better suited to the way you live today.
Downy Home Remodeling plans and builds bathroom remodels in Boulder, Colorado and nearby communities. We improve cramped layouts, create useful storage, build custom showers, and bring together tile, cabinetry, lighting, and fixtures with the preparation needed to perform well over time.
Some bathrooms need a complete reconfiguration. Others already have a workable layout and would benefit most from updated finishes and a few carefully chosen improvements. We help you establish a scope that reflects what you want to change and what is worth keeping.
You can want a new bathroom even if the old one is fine
A bathroom does not have to leak or fall apart to deserve your attention. You might be tired of the dark vanity, the busy tile, or the feeling that the room belongs to someone else's house. Wanting a space that feels lighter, calmer, newer, or more like you is reason enough. Consider this your permission slip to stop waiting for something to break.
The before-and-after project below shows how different a bathroom can feel when its layout, materials, and details work together. Explore the services that follow to see what’s possible in your own bathroom.

3D Design Rendering
Finished Bathroom Remodel
Downy Home Remodeling offers bathroom design services as part of our remodeling process. Our team is trained in SketchUp and proficient in developing detailed floor plans that establish dimensions, clearances, fixture placement, storage, and movement through the bathroom. We help select materials, give design guidance and recommendations, then create lifelike 3D renderings to help you visualize the relationship between tile, cabinetry, glass, lighting, and other finishes before you commit to selections.
Kitchen remodels can be fully designed by our team, enabling the plans to remain closely connected to the scope, budget, and construction ahead. But if you prefer a more intensive, design-led process, we are equally happy to coordinate with the interior designer of your choice.

Three Boulder Bathrooms. Three Entirely Different Reasons to Remodel:
Creating Privacy and a More Thoughtful Use of Space
This Gunbarrel master bathroom shared a wide-open floorplan with the bedroom, while competing door swings and enclosed partitions crowded the space inside. We added a separating wall and doorway, relocated closet access to the bedroom, and turned the former closet entrance into recessed linen storage. Reorienting the shower kept its door out of the walking path. The new layout provides privacy, useful storage, and more room to move.

Finally Replacing the Bathroom She Put Up With for Years
After retiring, this Chautauqua homeowner was ready to update a functional but uninviting 1970s bathroom. The renovation introduced comfort upgrades like heated tile floors, an oversize, dimmable LED mirror, and seated shower with three separate showerheads. The new custom vanity and matching linen cabinet with floating shelves added storage while creating the illusion of extra space.

Adding Warmth and Ease to Mountain Mornings
In Pine Brook Hills, competing door swings, lack of light, and a cold floor had become persistent frustrations. Two pocket doors improved movement through the bathroom, while a tall storage cabinet and walk-in shower made better use of the available space. Heated floors added comfort, and a new window let in natural light and mountain views, while Alder trim kept the updated bathroom connected to the home's mountain character.

What Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Boulder?
Bathrooms are typically the smallest and easiest rooms in the house to remodel. But a small room does not automatically mean a small project. Within a few square feet, you may have plumbing, electrical, ventilation, cabinetry, tile, glass, and waterproofing that all need attention.
Our current bathroom remodeling prices begin at approximately $20,000 for a basic remodel. Your estimate will reflect your home’s conditions, the work involved, and your selections. Replacing fixtures within the existing layout involves a different scope than enlarging the room, moving a toilet, expanding a shower, or creating substantial changes. Custom cabinetry, intricate tile patterns, full-slab walls, premium fixtures, and water damage discovered behind old finishes increase cost.
Our pricing page explains typical Boulder bathroom remodeling cost ranges. Our Bathroom Remodeling Cost Calculator can give you initial insight into price variables and the investment required for your project.
These before & after photos of a budget bathroom remodel demonstrate what’s possible at our low-end pricing ($20,000). Click here to read more about this Budget Bathroom Remodel.
Boulder bathrooms come with their own history
Bathroom remodeling in Boulder’s established neighborhoods often means adapting an older home to needs its original layout never anticipated. In Mapleton Hill, that can mean replacing a decades-old tub and built-in cabinetry with a comfortable shower and more useful storage. In suburban neighborhoods like Lafayette, we may need to reconfigure awkward partitions, competing door swings, and poorly placed fixtures that make bathrooms feel smaller than they are. For mountain communities like Seven Hills, heated floors, improved lighting, and woodwork that complements the house can bring greater comfort while preserving its character. These priorities vary from house to house, even within the same neighborhood.
We provide bathroom remodeling in Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior, Gunbarrel, Niwot, and nearby Boulder County communities, shaping each renovation around the home’s existing construction and the people who use it.
Your experience with the remodel matters as much as the finished photos
Losing access to a bathroom changes the household routine. There are mornings to reorganize, belongings to move, and work happening close to your personal space. We discuss those realities before construction begins. We make a point of treating your home with care and ensuring your remodel goes as smooth as possible, including:
A plan for the daily disruption
We discuss bathroom access, anticipated utility interruptions, working hours, and household needs before demolition so you can prepare for the work ahead.
Communication that keeps you informed
You have access to our daily logs, know what is happening next, and hear about questions or unexpected conditions when they arise.
Protection beyond the bathroom door
Covered pathways and dust barriers help protect the surrounding rooms and prevent the spread of construction debris through your home.
A clean, orderly work area
Tools and materials stay in designated zones, and daily cleanup keeps the jobsite organized throughout construction.
Care that continues after completion
We inspect the finished work, leave no detail unfinished, and back our labor and workmanship with a 5-year guarantee.

“Overall, the work was excellent. Sometimes it’s the little things, like showing up on time, talking through any suggested changes that we may have had while the project was underway, as well as keeping a clean job site and committing to the budget provided.”
-Michael M.
“They kept me informed every step of the way, patiently answering my questions and making sure I was comfortable with each decision. Wayne is a fair, trustworthy, and genuinely kind person. I felt confident in his abilities and integrity throughout the project!”
-Jennefer S.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, though the bathroom being remodeled will be unavailable for the much of construction, plumbing work may require temporary water shutoffs, and in certain cases you may need to temporarily relocate due to safety reasons. If it is your only bathroom, we discuss alternative arrangements before work begins, including whether you will need to stay elsewhere.
-
Yes. Downy Home Remodeling holds a City of Boulder Class B General Contractor License and carries commercial general liability insurance. You can review our coverage limits, licensing information, and supporting documents on our License, Bonding & Insurance page.
-
A limited bathroom update may begin around $20,000, while a full remodel with upgraded finishes or layout changes frequently falls into a higher range, $65,000+. Structural alterations, relocated plumbing, custom vanities, existing conditions, and high-end material selections increase the final price. Our bathroom pricing page explains our current price ranges and what typically drives the difference. To read more about how we structure pricing, and to use our Bathroom Remodel Pricing Calculator, please visit our Bathroom Pricing page.
-
Our project construction timelines span approximately three to four weeks for a basic bathroom remodel, five to six weeks for a mid-range remodel, and six to eight weeks for a high-end remodel. More complex projects can take longer. Design, selections, ordering, and permitting happen before construction and add to the overall schedule. We provide a timeline based on your particular project.
-
We provide an anticipated schedule, but do not guarantee a completion date. Material availability, inspections, changes to the scope, and concealed conditions can affect timing. We plan ahead to reduce avoidable delays and communicate changes as they arise.
-
Yes. Depending on your needs and the space available, we can incorporate features such as a lower-threshold or curbless shower, bench seating, grab bars, handheld showerheads, improved lighting, and easier-to-reach storage. We discuss your priorities early so the layout and construction can support them.
-
We offer a 5-year warranty on all labor and workmanship for all remodels. We want you to have peace of mind knowing your investment will be protected, and our goal is to be your contractor for years to come. Any issues with workmanship arising up to five years after the completion of your project will be addressed promptly and professionally.
