That outdated bathroom with the cramped shower and worn fixtures isn’t going to fix itself. You’ve been putting it off, but every morning reminds you why it needs updating.
A properly renovated bathroom changes your daily routine. Better lighting that makes mornings easier. A shower with real water pressure and space to move. Storage solutions that make sense for how you actually use the space. Finishes that handle Bellevue’s humidity without growing mold or showing water stains.
Homes in West Bellevue and Somerset built in the 1970s and 1980s often need updated plumbing behind those walls. We handle that properly, along with the ventilation upgrades that prevent moisture problems common in Pacific Northwest bathrooms.
You get a space designed for how you live, not just what looked good forty years ago. No more making excuses about that dated tile or dealing with fixtures that barely function.
Sea Renovation handles bathroom renovations, kitchen remodels, and decking projects throughout the Bellevue area. We started this business in 2023 to do reliable work for homeowners who want it done right the first time.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because that’s what serious contractors do. We handle City of Bellevue permit requirements and King County inspections so you don’t have to figure out local building codes on your own. Last month alone we completed three bathroom renovations in neighborhoods between I-405 and Lake Washington.
We offer military and first responder discounts and back our work with comprehensive warranties. You’re not getting the cheapest bid from us. You’re getting contractors who show up when we say we will, communicate throughout the project, and take responsibility for the work we do. No disappearing acts, no surprise costs, no cutting corners on permits or waterproofing.
We start by looking at your current bathroom and discussing what you want to change. We measure everything, talk through your timeline and budget, and give you a detailed estimate that breaks down labor, materials, and permit costs. No vague numbers or hidden fees.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the City of Bellevue permit applications and order materials. We protect the rest of your home with plastic sheeting, then start with demolition. If we discover outdated plumbing or water damage behind the walls—common in older Bellevue homes—we discuss it with you before proceeding with any additional work.
Then comes the rebuild: proper waterproofing systems, new shower or tub installation, tile work, vanity and fixture installation, and upgraded ventilation to handle Pacific Northwest humidity. Everything gets inspected at the required stages. We clean up completely when we’re done, and you get a bathroom that works better and looks exactly like what we discussed at the beginning.

Your bathroom renovation covers everything from demolition to final cleanup:
Homes along Bellevue Way and in neighborhoods near Bridle Trails often have plumbing that needs updating to meet current code. We handle those upgrades properly, along with permit coordination through the City of Bellevue Development Services.
You’re not managing multiple contractors or wondering if something got missed. We handle the complete renovation with one point of contact and one company responsible for the entire job. Every project includes our warranty on workmanship, and we provide all documentation you need for insurance and resale purposes.
Bathroom renovation costs in Bellevue typically range from $15,000 for a basic refresh to $35,000 or more for a complete high-end remodel. The biggest cost factors are bathroom size, material quality, and whether you’re moving plumbing or electrical.
Bellevue’s labor costs run 20-30% above national averages due to the local market. Small powder rooms usually cost $8,400-$25,000, while master bathrooms range from $20,000-$85,000 depending on finishes. Older homes in Eastgate and Somerset often need additional plumbing updates once we open the walls, which we discuss with you before proceeding.
We provide detailed estimates breaking down labor, materials, and permit costs so you know exactly where your money goes. We recommend budgeting 10-15% contingency for older homes.
Most bathroom renovations take 2-3 weeks from start to finish, depending on scope. A simple refresh with new fixtures and tile might be done in 10-14 days, while a complete master bathroom renovation with plumbing changes typically takes 3-4 weeks.
The timeline includes permit approval through the City of Bellevue, which takes 1-8 weeks depending on project complexity. We handle all permit applications and inspection scheduling so your project stays on track. Key factors affecting timeline are whether we’re moving plumbing, bathroom size, and any hidden water damage we discover during demolition.
We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. We don’t rush the job just to hit an unrealistic deadline.
Yes, most bathroom remodels in Bellevue require permits, especially when you’re doing electrical work, moving plumbing, or making structural changes. King County and the City of Bellevue require building permits for demolition and structural work, plumbing permits for drain line changes and fixture relocations, and electrical permits for new circuits.
Permit costs typically run $300-$800 depending on scope. Code requires 2-inch drain lines, and many older Bellevue homes have outdated 1.5-inch drains that need upgrading. Exhaust fans must be properly vented to exterior, not just recirculating.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections at the required stages. Skipping permits creates problems when you sell your house and can result in daily fines if discovered.
Late winter to early spring (February-April) is ideal for booking bathroom renovations in Bellevue. You avoid the peak season rush and can complete the project before summer. Fall (September-October) is also good for securing contractors before the holiday season.
Bathroom renovations are indoor projects that can proceed year-round, unlike exterior work affected by Bellevue’s rainy season. However, material delivery may be delayed during winter weather. Spring and summer (April-September) are high-demand periods when contractors book up quickly and prices may be higher.
The advantage of booking during slower periods is better availability and potentially more flexible scheduling. We work year-round and can accommodate your timeline regardless of season.
Start by verifying the contractor is licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington state. Check their license status on the Department of Labor & Industries website. Ask about their experience with City of Bellevue permit requirements and King County building codes.
Request references from recent Bellevue projects and review their portfolio of completed bathrooms. Get detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and permit costs—not just a single lump sum. Ask how they handle hidden issues like water damage or outdated plumbing discovered during demolition.
Red flags include contractors who suggest skipping permits, require large upfront deposits, can’t provide proof of insurance, or pressure you to decide immediately. With over 1,000 remodelers in the Bellevue area, take time to evaluate quality differences beyond just price.
Bellevue homeowners are investing in luxury finishes that match the area’s upscale market. Popular upgrades include frameless glass showers, floating vanities, heated floors for Pacific Northwest winters, and high-end tile like large-format porcelain and marble. Smart home integration with digital shower controls and heated mirrors is increasingly common.
Functionality matters as much as aesthetics. Homeowners want better storage solutions, improved lighting, and proper ventilation systems that prevent mold in our humid climate. Walk-in showers are replacing tub-shower combinations, and double vanities are standard in master bathrooms.
The key is balancing current style with timeless appeal, especially for homes in Bellevue’s competitive real estate market. We help you make design decisions that enhance both daily enjoyment and resale value.
