Our bathroom remodel process
- Design consultation: we assess the layout, plumbing, and moisture history, and plan the new bathroom.
- Fixed-scope estimate: itemized and honest, with the waterproofing spelled out, not buried.
- Permitting: we pull county permits where the work requires them, using the Simple Bathroom Affidavit where it applies.
- Build: demolition, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finishes, with one project lead on your job.
- Final walkthrough: a leak-tested, inspected bathroom you sign off on before we call it done.
What a bathroom remodel costs in Clackamas County
Bathroom remodels in the area typically run $30,000–$65,000, or about $250–$600+ per square foot depending on size and finishes. Smaller bathrooms cost more per square foot (a 40–60 sq ft hall bath can land at $350–$600 per square foot) because the fixed costs of plumbing, tile, and fixtures are packed into less space.
A shower-only update sits at the low end; a full gut that moves plumbing and adds custom tile sits at the top. As with any remodel here, labor is roughly 40–50% of the total.

Permits for a bathroom remodel in Clackamas County
Cosmetic updates (a new vanity, tile, paint, or fixtures in their existing spots) generally don't need a permit. Moving plumbing, adding a fixture, or converting unconditioned space does.
Clackamas County offers a Simple Bathroom Affidavit that lets a licensed contractor fast-track interior-only bathroom permits in the conditioned space of a primary residence, it can't be used for garages or unconditioned basements. We use it where it applies to keep your project moving and pull full permits where it doesn't. You can reach county Building Codes at 503-742-4240 to verify anything.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does a bathroom remodel take?
- A tub-to-shower conversion can finish in just a few days. A full gut with new tile, plumbing, and a changed layout typically runs 3–5 weeks, plus design and permitting up front.
- We only have one bathroom. Can you still remodel it?
- Yes. We sequence single-bath projects to compress the days it's out of service and can talk through temporary options so your household isn't left without a bathroom for long.
- How do you prevent mold and water damage?
- It comes down to what's behind the tile: a properly sloped shower pan, a bonded waterproofing membrane, cement backer board, and correctly sized ventilation. In a climate that sees 40+ inches of rain a year, that hidden work is the whole game, and it's where we don't cut corners.
- Do I need a permit for my bathroom remodel?
- Finish-only updates usually don't. Moving or adding plumbing does. Where the work qualifies, the county's Simple Bathroom Affidavit lets us fast-track the permit; where it doesn't, we pull a standard permit and coordinate inspections.
