The main bathroom of a re-planned Capitol Hill second floor: a walk-in shower in patterned porcelain over a black slate floor, a frameless glass panel, and an oak double vanity with a black quartz top.
A retired couple on Capitol Hill wanted their second floor to work for the next twenty years without leaving the house. The old plan had small bathrooms in the wrong places, so Evercrest re-planned the floor — moving and re-framing walls — and gave the main bathroom the room for a real walk-in shower and a vanity for two.
Everything in it is new: plumbing and electrical for the new layout, a waterproofed walk-in shower with a niche, a black slate floor and an oak double vanity, finished in black and oak to match the rest of the floor.
One wall of patterned porcelain carries the room; the other shower walls are a quiet gray, so the pattern reads as art rather than noise. A black slate floor, a frameless glass panel with a black towel bar, a matte-black rain head and handheld, and a tiled niche finish it.
Opposite the shower: an oak double vanity with a black quartz top and two undermount sinks, two black-framed mirrors and matte-black sconces. Drawers and doors under the top give the room its storage — no separate cabinet needed.
Walls moved and re-framed for the new floor plan, with structural checks and inspection.
New plumbing and electrical for a walk-in shower and a double vanity, inspected before the walls close.
Cement board and a waterproofing membrane on every wet wall and on the shower floor.
Patterned porcelain feature wall, gray field tile, black slate floor and the recessed niche.

Final inspection with the whole floor — covered by the 5-year workmanship warranty.
This bathroom came to $36,940 of the $283,000 second-floor contract; the other two baths on the floor were $27,580 (the fish-scale tub bath) and $31,760 (the marble shower room). Here is where the $36,940 went.
This bath was built as part of a whole second-floor remodel: load-bearing walls moved, a new walnut kitchen, three new bathrooms, new closets, doors and one run of oak floor — 1,300 sq ft in 16 weeks on one fixed price of $283,000.

Yes. On this floor we moved and re-framed load-bearing walls with structural checks and inspection, so the main bath could hold a walk-in shower and a double vanity.
This bath took five weeks of work within a 16-week project; the trades move room to room so the bathrooms, kitchen and floors finish together.
Yes. Natural slate has a textured surface that grips underfoot and hides water spots; it is sealed after installation like any natural stone.
Yes — Evercrest works across Seattle, from Capitol Hill to View Ridge and Sand Point, and on the Eastside.
