Bathroom Remodeling in Puyallup, WA, Built Right Behind the Walls

5.0 from 21 Google reviews

Brad Zemke is a third-generation carpenter and Air Force veteran. His own crew handles demo, plumbing, waterproofing and tile, and you get a fixed price before work starts.

The work behind the walls matters

Pacific Remodeling has offered bathroom remodeling in Puyallup, WA since Brad Zemke started the company in 2018, after five years as a B-52 crew chief in the Air Force. His grandfather and father were carpenters too.

Brad says he has renovated hundreds of bathrooms across Pierce County, from 40-square-foot guest baths to 120-square-foot master suites.

What sets his bathrooms apart is the part you never see. Every shower gets a full waterproofing membrane, Schluter KERDI or equivalent, floor to ceiling, and it is inspected before tile goes on.

His team does the demolition, plumbing, electrical, tile and finish work in-house, so no stranger subcontractors show up at your door.

Full Bathroom Remodels

Master suites with dual vanities, soaking tubs and heated floors, plus hall baths and powder rooms. Brad publishes real ranges: about $16,000 to $35,000 and 2 to 3 weeks for a hall bath, and $33,000 to $72,000 and 4 to 6 weeks for a mid-range master bath.

Tub-to-Shower Conversions

The most requested job: about 7 in 10 of Brad's bathroom remodels include one. The old tub comes out, the drain moves, and a custom tile walk-in shower goes in with niches and frameless glass. A standard conversion runs $10,000 to $24,000 and takes 1 to 2 weeks.

Kitchen Remodeling

Open layouts, real-wood cabinetry, quartz counters and new flooring. Brad prefers maple for painted cabinets because it resists warping in the damp Pacific Northwest. Cabinetry for a typical Puyallup kitchen with 25 to 35 linear feet runs about $20,000 to $56,000.

Waterproofing is not optional

Every shower gets a Schluter KERDI or RedGard membrane on every wall, floor, curb and niche. Brad has torn out five-year-old showers that leaked because someone skipped this step.

Puyallup bathroom remodel FAQs

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Puyallup?

Brad's published ranges are $6,500 to $16,000 for a powder room, $10,000 to $29,000 for a tub-to-shower conversion, $16,000 to $35,000 for a full hall bath and $33,000 to $72,000 for a mid-range master bath. These include materials, labor, plumbing, electrical and finish work. Permits are extra when required.

How many weeks will we be without that bathroom?

A powder room update takes about 1 to 2 weeks and a tub-to-shower conversion 1 to 2 weeks. A guest or hall bath runs 2 to 3 weeks, and master baths take 4 to 8 weeks depending on whether the layout changes. Your proposal includes a timeline for your specific project.

Do I need a permit?

Layout, plumbing and electrical changes usually do. Brad pulls permits from the City of Puyallup and schedules the inspections. Permit fees typically run $250 to $800 and are added to the project price when required. Rough-in work and waterproofing are inspected before any walls are closed or tile is set.

Can Brad build a curbless shower for a parent or for later years?

Yes. Brad builds curbless, zero-threshold showers with a linear drain by recessing the shower pan into the subfloor, though some older homes need a slight ramp instead. He also adds solid wood blocking behind the drywall so grab bars can be mounted securely now or years later.

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. Brad comes to your home, measures, and talks through materials and budget at no cost and with no obligation. Within about a week you receive a written fixed-price proposal. Call (253) 392-9266, Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 6 PM, to set a time.
