Everything New, Everything Behind It Correct

How much does a primary bathroom remodel cost in St. Paul?

A full custom primary bathroom remodel in St. Paul costs $35,000 to $60,000. That covers a custom walk-in shower on certified waterproofing, heated floors, stone or porcelain throughout, a new vanity and counters, frameless glass, and lighting. The number is firm in writing for the scoped work.

What the full rebuild includes

Everything you touch and see is new, and everything behind it is built to The Precision Standard. The shower goes in on a certified Schluter or Wedi system with frameless glass. Radiant heat goes under the floor while it is open, because that is the only time it costs almost nothing to add. Stone or large-format porcelain carries the room, the vanity and counters anchor it, and the lighting plan makes every material look the way it did when you chose it.

Designed for the way two people use one room

A primary bath usually serves a couple with different mornings, so the plan starts with how you both actually use the space. Double vanities with storage that holds what you own, a shower with 2 zones of spray, a makeup counter under true color lighting, a water closet that gives everyone privacy. The layout works first, and then the finishes make it beautiful. You choose every material with our guidance, and every choice fits the written number.

SVC. 02 / LOCATING YOUR NUMBER
The Question Every Homeowner Asks Second

What puts a primary bath at $35,000 versus $60,000?

Four things move a primary bath across the band: whether the layout and plumbing stay in place, whether the surfaces are porcelain or natural stone, whether the shower is a standard build or curbless with a bench and multiple heads, and whether the glass is a semi-frameless panel or full-height frameless.

Read the 4 below against your own bathroom and you will know which end of the band you are sitting in before anyone visits your home.

01

The layout

Leaving the toilet, tub, and drain where they sit is the single largest saving available in any bathroom. Moving a drain means opening the floor, rerouting waste lines, and coordinating a licensed plumber across extra days. Taking a wall out to steal closet space adds framing, drywall, and often electrical.

Keep the layout → near $35,000 · Move plumbing or walls → toward $60,000
02

The surfaces

Large-format porcelain delivers most of the beauty of natural stone, handles a wet room without complaint, and asks nothing of you afterward. Marble and quartzite bring color and movement porcelain still cannot match, and they carry higher material cost, slower cutting, and a sealing schedule we explain before you choose them.

Porcelain → near $35,000 · Natural stone → toward $60,000
03

The shower

A standard custom shower on a certified system with a niche and a curb sits at the lower end. A curbless entry means dropping the subfloor and engineering the slope from underneath. Add a full bench, a second head, and a linear drain running the wall, and the shower alone can carry $8,000 of the difference.

Curbed with a niche → near $35,000 · Curbless with a bench → toward $60,000
04

The glass

Glass is the finish people underestimate. A semi-frameless panel is straightforward and affordable. Full-height frameless glass is heavy, custom-templated after the tile is set, and it demands walls built plumb enough to accept it, which is exactly the kind of tolerance our layout work exists to deliver.

Semi-frameless → near $35,000 · Full-height frameless → toward $60,000
SVC. 03 / THE BUILD
15 Working Days On Site

How long does a primary bathroom remodel take?

The build takes 3 weeks, which is 15 working days on site. From signed proposal to final walkthrough, plan on 3 to 6 weeks total, covering design, selections, and material lead times. Your build dates are scheduled in writing before demolition begins.

WEEK 01 · DAYS 1–5

Demo and rough-in

The workspace gets sealed with zippered containment and your floors get protected from the front door in. Demolition, framing, and rough plumbing and electrical happen this week, with licensed contractors handling their own trades on scheduled days.

WEEK 02 · DAYS 6–10

Waterproofing and tile

The Schluter or Wedi system goes in and gets tested, then the tile gets set against a laser line planned before demo started. This is the week that decides whether your bathroom looks correct at hand-distance for the next 20 years.

WEEK 03 · DAYS 11–15

Finish and walkthrough

Glass, fixtures, vanity, lighting, and detail work land this week. We finish by inspecting every line together and handing you the 1-year workmanship warranty in writing. The same crew works all 15 days, and you get an update every afternoon.

Answered Straight

Primary bath questions, answered straight.

How much does a primary bathroom remodel cost in St. Paul?
A full custom primary bathroom remodel in St. Paul costs $35,000 to $60,000. That covers a custom walk-in shower on certified waterproofing, heated floors, stone or porcelain throughout, a new vanity and counters, frameless glass, and lighting. The number is firm in writing for the scoped work.
How much does a master bathroom remodel cost in Minnesota?
A master bathroom remodel in the Twin Cities metro runs $35,000 to $60,000 with a craftsman-direct builder. Design-build firms commonly quote comparable rooms from $60,000 to $85,000 and beyond, because their price carries a showroom, a design department, and a subcontracted tile crew. Every band is published in our 2026 cost guide.
What puts a primary bath at $35,000 versus $60,000?
Four things move a primary bath across the band: whether the layout and plumbing stay in place, whether the surfaces are porcelain or natural stone, whether the shower is a standard build or curbless with a bench and multiple heads, and whether the glass is a semi-frameless panel or full-height frameless. The 4 drivers above break each one down.
How long does a primary bathroom remodel take?
The build takes 3 weeks, which is 15 working days on site. From signed proposal to final walkthrough, plan on 3 to 6 weeks total, covering design, selections, and material lead times. Your build dates are scheduled in writing before demolition begins.
Can we live at home during the build?
Yes. We seal the workspace with zippered containment, protect floors from the door in, and reset the site every evening. Clients typically use a hall bath for 3 weeks and stop noticing the crew after day 2.
Can you change the layout or move plumbing?
Yes. Keeping fixtures near their current locations keeps the number down, and when a better layout calls for moves, we price them plainly in the proposal before you sign.
Do you help us choose materials?
Yes. We guide every selection against your budget band and tell you plainly what earns the money and what does not. Clients consistently call the guided-selection process their favorite part of working with us.
