Boulder bathroom remodeling
The hardest-working room in the house, done right
No room concentrates more skilled trades into fewer square feet than a bathroom — plumbing, electrical, tile, waterproofing, and ventilation all meeting within inches of each other. When it's done right, you get a bathroom that feels effortless every morning for decades. When it's done wrong, the problems hide behind the tile until they're expensive.
Prana Construction has been remodeling bathrooms for Boulder homeowners since 1995 — in the older homes around Goss Grove and Rose Hill, the established neighborhoods of Melody Heights, Palo Park, and Highland Park, and up the canyon in Pine Brook Hill. Whether it's a dated hall bath or the primary suite you've been putting off, we handle design, permits, and construction end to end. Planning a bigger project?

How a Prana bath remodel works
Our bathroom remodeling process
A clear path from first conversation to final walkthrough — sequenced so your bathroom is back in service as fast as possible.
Consultation & design
We look at your bathroom, learn what isn't working, and shape a plan around your priorities and your budget.
Transparent written estimate
A clear, itemized scope and price before any demo begins — no vague ballparks and no surprise change orders.
Materials & permits
Tile, vanities, fixtures, and glass are ordered before demo so the job never stalls, and we pull the City of Boulder permit.
Demolition & build
Careful demo, then plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, and tile — sequenced tightly so your bathroom is out of commission for as short a time as possible.
Walkthrough & warranty
We review every grout line and fixture with you and don't call it done until you're thrilled — backed by our two-year workmanship warranty.
Behind the tile
The quality you'll never see is the part that matters most
A beautiful bathroom is table stakes. What separates a remodel that lasts thirty years from one that fails in five is everything buried behind the finishes — and it's exactly where three decades of experience pay off:
- Sloped, membraned shower pans that can't leak into framing
- Cement board and waterproofing behind every tiled surface
- Proper ventilation sized to prevent mold and moisture damage
- Blocking in the walls for grab bars, now or down the road
- Updated shut-offs, supply lines, and drains while walls are open
- GFCI-protected circuits and lighting done to current code
Questions & answers
Boulder bathroom remodeling FAQs
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Boulder?
It depends on the size of the bathroom, whether the layout changes, and the finishes you choose. Moving plumbing costs more than keeping fixtures in place, and a custom tile shower is a different investment than a prefab surround. Rather than quote a vague range, we look at your bathroom, learn your priorities, and give you a clear, itemized written estimate — for free — so you know exactly where your budget stands.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A straightforward pull-and-replace remodel typically runs two to four weeks of on-site work; a full gut with layout changes or a custom tile shower can run longer. Material lead times — especially vanities, tile, and glass — drive the schedule, so we order everything before demo starts and give you a realistic timeline up front.
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Boulder?
If the remodel touches plumbing, electrical, or walls — which most do — the City of Boulder requires a permit. We handle the permitting and inspection process for you as part of the project, so the work is done to code and documented correctly for resale.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most common projects we do. We handle the plumbing changes, build a properly sloped and waterproofed pan, and finish it with the tile, glass, and fixtures you choose. If you want to keep one tub in the house for resale, we'll help you think through which bathroom it should be.
Can you make a bathroom safer for aging in place?
Absolutely. Curbless showers, grab bars anchored into blocking, comfort-height fixtures, better lighting, and non-slip tile can make a bathroom dramatically safer without making it feel clinical. We'll design the details around how you — or a parent — actually use the space.
Why does waterproofing matter so much?
Because it's the part you never see. A shower that isn't flashed, sloped, and membraned correctly can leak silently into framing for years before you find the rot. Waterproofing behind the tile is exactly where a licensed, experienced contractor earns their keep — and it's backed by our two-year workmanship warranty.
