Bathroom Remodeling in Lafayette, CO
Serving Lafayette homeowners from Old Town to Indian Peaks with remodels, additions, and decks built to last.
Your trusted bathroom remodeling contractor in Lafayette
A bathroom remodel packs more trades into fewer square feet than any other project — tile, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, and ventilation all have to come together perfectly. We manage the whole remodel with the clear communication and careful craftsmanship Prana is known for.
From the character homes around Old Town Lafayette to the newer neighborhoods near Indian Peaks, we deliver craftsmanship and clear communication to every Lafayette project.
Bathrooms are where Lafayette's housing stock shows its age fastest. The Old Town cottages often have a single bathroom that was squeezed in long after the house was built, with a tub under a sloped ceiling, galvanized supply lines, and an exhaust fan that vents into the attic. The 1970s and '80s homes in Centaur Village and along South Boulder Road typically have a cramped primary bath with a fiberglass tub-shower, a cultured-marble vanity, and no real ventilation. In Indian Peaks, Anna's Farm, Silver Creek, and Beacon Hill, the baths are bigger and newer but were finished quickly — builder tile, a prefab surround, and lighting that makes everyone look tired.
A bathroom renovation in Lafayette is usually about two things: making the room work better and making it last. That means a walk-in shower with a properly sloped, membraned pan instead of a leaking surround; a vanity sized for two people; an exhaust fan that actually moves air outside; and, where the layout allows, borrowing space from a closet or hallway so the bathroom stops feeling like an afterthought. We also use the open walls to replace the plumbing and wiring that older Lafayette homes hide — far cheaper to do now than after the tile is on.
Bathroom remodels in Lafayette that move or add plumbing, change electrical, or alter walls need a City of Lafayette building permit with inspections, and we handle both. Interior bathroom work almost never needs HOA approval in the covenant-controlled neighborhoods, but if the remodel adds a window, a skylight, or a new vent on the exterior, your covenants may have a say — we'll check before the design is final.

Questions & answers
Bathroom Remodeling in Lafayette: questions we hear most
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Lafayette?
If the remodel moves or adds plumbing, changes electrical, or alters walls — which covers most bathroom remodels beyond a cosmetic refresh — the City of Lafayette requires a building permit with inspections along the way. We prepare the application and meet the inspectors as part of the job, so the work is done to code and documented for resale.
Can you convert a tub to a walk-in shower in my Lafayette home?
Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most requested bathroom projects we do. We rework the plumbing, build a properly sloped and waterproofed shower pan, and finish it with the tile, glass, and fixtures you choose. If you'd like to keep one tub in the house, we'll help you decide which bathroom should have it.
What does a full bathroom renovation include?
Typically demolition down to the framing, any plumbing and electrical changes, new waterproofing and tile, a vanity and countertop, fixtures, lighting, ventilation, and paint. We also use the opportunity to fix what the old bathroom hid — soft subfloor, undersized exhaust fans, or wiring that isn't up to current code.
How do you keep a remodeled shower from leaking?
Waterproofing is the part of a bathroom you never see, and it's where most bathroom failures start. We slope the pan correctly, run a continuous waterproof membrane up the walls and over the curb, flash the niches and bench, and test before a single tile goes on — all backed by our two-year workmanship warranty.
Can you enlarge a small bathroom or add a second one?
Often, yes. Many Lafayette homes have a cramped bathroom next to a closet, hallway, or underused bedroom that can give up a few feet, and a basement or addition can hold an entirely new bath. We look at where the plumbing stacks and drains run before we propose a layout, so the plan is realistic from the start.
Can a bathroom remodel make the room safer as we get older?
Absolutely. A curbless shower, grab bars anchored into solid blocking, a comfort-height toilet, a handheld sprayer, better lighting, and slip-resistant tile make a bathroom dramatically safer without making it look clinical. We design those details around how you — or a parent — actually use the space.
