Bathroom Remodel
Sioux City & Siouxland
Complete bathroom transformations for Siouxland homeowners — from hall baths to full primary suites. Fixed-price proposals. No surprises.
How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Sioux City?
Most full bathroom remodels in the Siouxland area range from $15,000 to $45,000+, depending on the size of the space, scope of work, and finish selections. A basic hall bath gut remodel starts around $15,000–$22,000. A primary bathroom with a custom tile shower, double vanity, and quality fixtures typically runs $22,000–$35,000. High-end primary suites with freestanding tubs, heated floors, or custom built-ins can push past $40,000.
The biggest cost variables in a bathroom remodel are tile work (both the material and the labor to install it), shower configuration, plumbing fixture quality, and whether any layout changes are involved. Moving a toilet or shower drain requires opening the floor, which adds cost. Older Sioux City homes frequently have galvanized supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, and subfloor issues around the tub — we account for these realities in our site visit before you commit to anything.
We don’t publish a single price because every bathroom is different. What we do commit to: an honest ballpark range at the site consultation, and a locked-in fixed price before you sign the contract.
Full demo and rebuild of a standard 5×8 or 5×9 bathroom. New tub/shower surround, vanity, toilet, flooring, and fixtures. Layout retained.
Larger footprint with custom tile shower, double vanity, quality plumbing fixtures, and upgraded finishes. Most Siouxland primary bath remodels fall here.
Freestanding tub, custom floor-to-ceiling tile, heated floors, frameless glass enclosure, premium fixtures, and built-in storage or niche work.
Ranges reflect typical Siouxland projects. Final cost depends on your specific scope, selections, and existing conditions. Contact us for an honest ballpark for your home.
What We Cover in a Full Bathroom Remodel
Standard Project Scope
What’s Typically Not Included
Heated floor systems (available as an add-on), exhaust fan/HVAC modifications, window replacement, and significant structural work outside the original scope are handled via allowance or change order. We’re transparent about these line items upfront.
Why Waterproofing Matters
The most common bathroom remodel failure we see in Sioux City homes is water intrusion behind tile from inadequate waterproofing. We use cement board and membrane systems on every wet area — not just drywall with a layer of tile. It costs a little more to do right. It saves a complete gut job in 5 years.

Common Bathroom Remodel Questions
Straight answers before you make a major investment in your home.
Most full bathroom remodels in the Siouxland area range from $15,000 to $45,000+. A basic hall bath gut remodel starts around $15,000–$22,000. A primary bathroom with a custom tile shower, double vanity, and quality fixtures typically runs $22,000–$35,000. High-end primary suites with freestanding tubs, heated floors, or custom tile work can exceed $40,000.
The biggest cost variables: the amount of tile work involved, shower configuration, plumbing fixture quality, and whether any layout changes are needed. Older Sioux City homes often have galvanized supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, and subfloor damage around failing tub surrounds — we account for all of this in the ballpark conversation before you commit.
Most full bathroom remodels take 2–4 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Primary bathrooms with extensive custom tile work or layout changes typically take 3–5 weeks. We include a project timeline in every proposal so you know exactly when each phase starts and finishes.
One important note: all tile and materials need to be on-site before demo begins. Material delays mid-project are the most common reason bathroom remodels run long. We eliminate that risk by confirming all selections upfront.
Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most common requests we handle in Siouxland. The process involves demo of the existing tub and surround, proper waterproofing of the substrate, custom tile or prefab shower installation, and new plumbing trim.
Key things we verify at the site visit: your existing drain location and whether it can be used as-is, the framing condition around the tub area, and whether the floor is level enough for a proper shower slope. If there’s subfloor damage from a leaking tub (very common), we address it during the same project.
This is more common than most homeowners realize — especially in Siouxland homes where original tub surrounds and shower pans have had years of grout failure. We see mold and water damage on a regular basis during demo.
When we find it, we stop work, document what we found with photos, and issue a change order with the remediation cost before proceeding. We never keep going and hand you a surprise invoice at the end. Remediation gets done properly before any new materials go in.
Yes. We work on primary suites, hall bathrooms, and guest baths. The scope and investment are quite different — a hall bath remodel is a more contained project, while a primary suite often involves more square footage, a larger or custom shower, double vanity, and higher-end selections.
We price each project based on what’s actually involved in your specific bathroom, not a one-size-fits-all rate. If you’re doing both bathrooms at the same time, we can scope them together and often identify efficiencies.
Yes. Bathroom remodels involving plumbing or electrical work require permits through the City of Sioux City Building Services. We pull the permits, schedule inspections, and manage that process as part of your project.
Iowa requires licensed plumbing and electrical contractors for their respective scopes. When work requires licensed subs, we coordinate trusted trade partners in the Siouxland area who we’ve worked with consistently.
Yes, with one firm requirement: all materials must be on-site and confirmed before demo starts. Our proposals include material allowances — a budgeted amount for tile, fixtures, and vanity. If you source your own materials, we adjust the allowance and reflect the difference in the contract.
The reason for the upfront requirement: if we demo your bathroom and then wait two weeks for a backordered tile, you’re without a functioning bathroom for longer than planned and we have to reschedule around a gap in the project. We prevent that by confirming everything before the first hammer swings.
