Bathroom Remodeling in Seattle

For an average bathroom of approximately 60 sq ft, pricing typically starts around $27,000. The average bathroom remodel cost in Seattle runs 15−20% above national averages. For a master bathroom (~100 sq ft), pricing starts at $32,000. These estimates are based on basic materials. High-end finishes, upgrades, or additional electrical/plumbing work will increase the overall cost. Seattle remodeling costs run 15−20% higher than the national average due to labor rates, permitting requirements, and the age of most homes.

A typical bathroom renovation takes 3 to 6 weeks for construction, depending on size, complexity, and whether plumbing or layout changes are involved. Add 2−4 weeks for Seattle SDCI permit review if structural, plumbing, or electrical work is required.
