Bathroom Remodeling for Kirkland homes
The 1960s–80s Kirkland stock came with small primary bathrooms and a hall bath doing most of the work. The two common projects are expanding the primary bath into adjacent closet or bedroom space, and — where the house has run out of room — adding a bathroom as part of a second-story or bump-out addition. Kirkland's lot sizes usually leave room for the second option, which is not true everywhere on the Eastside.
Either way the fundamentals decide the outcome: a properly built pan and waterproofing membrane, ventilation sized to the room, and glass measured only after the tile is set. Those are the details that make a bathroom last, and they are invisible the moment the job is finished — which is precisely why they get skipped by people who should not be building bathrooms.
Permits for Kirkland projects run through City of Kirkland Building Services, and we handle the filing and inspections as part of the job. For the full picture on how we approach this work, see our bathroom remodeling page — and for everything we build locally, our Kirkland contractor page.

Kirkland questions
- Can I add a bathroom to my Kirkland house?
- Often yes — either by borrowing space from adjacent rooms or as part of an addition. Kirkland's lot sizes and setbacks frequently leave room for a bump-out or second story, which we assess against your parcel at the estimate.
- What does a bathroom remodel cost in Kirkland?
- Hall baths typically run $25,000–$45,000 and primary suites $50,000–$100,000+. Adding a bathroom as part of an addition is priced with the addition, generally $250–$450 per square foot for ground-level work.
- How long will my bathroom be out of service?
- Two to three weeks of construction for a straightforward hall bath, four to six for a primary suite with custom tile. Custom glass adds two to three weeks after tile, because it can only be measured once tile is complete.
