Bothell's bathroom remodel market reflects its housing range — from 1980s and 90s tract homes in North Bothell and Canyon Park to craftsman-style properties in Norway Hill to newer townhomes near downtown and UW Bothell. The bathroom profiles across these neighborhoods are different: older tract homes have original cultured marble surrounds and builder-grade fixtures that have never been upgraded; newer construction has recent but generic finishes; downtown condos have small footprints that require every decision to be efficient. Armada Design & Build has been remodeling bathrooms in Bothell since 2011 across all of these housing types.

Local Context

Bothell's Bathroom Remodel Landscape

The 1980s and 90s homes in North Bothell and Shelton View that make up a large portion of the city's residential stock have bathrooms that were built to a production standard: cultured marble tub surrounds that crack over time, vanity lighting that consists of a single Hollywood-style bar, laminate vanity cabinets with swollen bases from years of minor water exposure, and vinyl sheet flooring that's discolored and lifting at the edges. These bathrooms are functional and have never been seriously upgraded — which means the transformation when you finally do is significant.

The Canyon Park and Norway Hill neighborhoods tend to have larger homes from the late 1990s and early 2000s with more bathroom square footage and slightly better original finishes — but still builder-grade, still dated, and still lacking the storage and lighting that make bathrooms work well for families. These are the bathrooms where an island vanity, a walk-in shower conversion, and a proper tile job make the biggest visible difference.

Bothell's downtown and UW corridor condos and townhomes are a different challenge: compact footprints where spatial efficiency matters more than anything. In a 45 sq ft condo bathroom, every inch of storage is designed, not assumed. We approach these projects with fixture selection and layout thinking that's specific to small-bathroom design.

Bathroom Types We Remodel

Every Kind of Bathroom, Done Right

Master Bathrooms

Walk-in shower conversions from tub/shower combos that never get used as baths, double vanities with storage, heated floors for Bothell's wet winters, and frameless glass enclosures that open up the visual space.

Family Bathrooms

Durable materials that hold up to daily family use, smarter storage solutions than the original builder provided, and upgraded vanity lighting that actually works as task lighting rather than ambiance lighting.

Condo & Townhome Bathrooms

Space-efficient design for Bothell's downtown and UW corridor housing — recessed niches, floating vanities, large-format tile that reads as larger than the room is, and fixture selections scaled for compact footprints.

Powder Rooms

High-impact per square foot. A well-considered powder room — statement vanity, interesting tile, proper lighting — is one of the most memorable and cost-effective upgrades in a Bothell home.

What We Do

Bathroom Remodeling Services in Bothell

Full Gut Renovations

Demo to studs, new waterproofing, tile backer, and completely rebuilt. The right approach for Bothell's 1980s and 90s bathrooms with original cultured marble and vinyl flooring.

Shower & Tub Work

Tub-to-shower conversions, frameless glass enclosures, custom tile surrounds, walk-in shower expansions, and freestanding tub installations for master bathrooms with the square footage.

Custom and semi-custom vanity cabinets, floating or wall-mounted options for compact bathrooms, recessed medicine cabinets, and built-in niches that add storage without adding visual bulk.

Tile & Flooring

Large-format floor tile, wall tile to ceiling height, mosaic accents, and heated floor systems. We handle tile in-house with our own setters rather than subcontracting it separately.

Fixtures & Plumbing

Toilets, faucets, shower systems, and tub fillers selected as a cohesive package. We coordinate plumbing rough-in and finish trim under one contract — no handoff between contractors.

Permitting

Bathroom remodels with plumbing changes or layout modifications permit through the City of Bothell. We prepare and submit the package — typically 3–5 weeks for review on bathroom scope.

One Team Handles Everything — No Subcontractor Handoffs

Bathroom remodeling involves more trades in a small space than almost any other project: demo, framing, plumbing rough-in, electrical, waterproofing, tile, drywall, painting, and finish trim — all in a room that's often smaller than a walk-in closet. When different contractors handle different pieces, coordination gaps create problems: plumbing that gets tiled over before it's inspected, electrical that conflicts with the tile layout, timelines that slip because no one is managing the sequence. We handle all of this under one contract, with one project manager who owns the schedule from start to finish.
