How we run bathroom remodels.
Waterproofing, tile discipline, glass timing, fixture coordination — the service page covers the full approach.
Bathroom RemodelingEdina bathrooms reward layout discipline and the hidden work behind the tile more than they reward big-name fixtures. The bathrooms we do well here are the ones where waterproofing, framing correction, ventilation, and selection coherence all get planned together — and the room ages with the rest of the house instead of dating it.
The Edina bathroom project
Most Edina bathroom remodels we’re asked to look at are primary baths. The original bath is functional but undersized or dated relative to the rest of the house, the plumbing geometry is locked in, and the homeowner wants the room to feel like it belongs to the rest of the home. The within-footprint rebuild is the most common scope. The structural expansion — borrowing from a closet, a hallway, or an adjacent bedroom — is the second.
Both can produce strong bathrooms. The difference is honesty about the footprint. A within-footprint rebuild that doesn’t pretend the room is larger than it is — that prioritizes the right shower, the right vanity proportions, and real storage rather than cramming in a freestanding tub the room doesn’t support — usually outperforms an expansion that tried too hard.
The work behind the tile is where Edina bathrooms earn their quality. Plaster removal, framing correction, old plumbing reroutes, ventilation, waterproofing, and glass layout all matter more than the finish photo. A small bath done right beats a larger bath that fights the house. We use full membrane systems on every wet wall, tested pre-slope at every shower pan, and substrate that’s rated for the application — because the alternative is a rebuild in three years.
Investment ranges
Primary baths in Edina commonly run $40,000 to $140,000. Hall and kids’ baths usually land $25,000 to $65,000. The wide range reflects how much variation exists in scope: a within-footprint rebuild with quality but restrained selections is very different from a primary suite expansion with custom tile, steam shower, heated floors, and structural framing changes.
Higher-tier Edina primary baths — Country Club, Rolling Green, Indian Hills, parts of the Highlands — often push toward $140,000 and beyond when the finish standard matches the house. Custom tile, frameless glass, layered lighting, heated floors, custom vanity work, integrated storage, and specialty fixtures all add real cost. None of those are exotic in this market.
The bathrooms that age best aren’t the most expensive ones. They’re the ones where the layout decisions were made first, the hidden work was done right, and the finish selections were coherent with the rest of the house.

Cost guideEdina bathroom questions we hear often
Primary baths in Edina commonly run $40,000 to $140,000. Hall and kids’ baths typically land $25,000 to $65,000. Custom tile, glass, lighting scenes, heated floors, and structural moves can push the primary number higher, especially in homes where the rest of the finish standard is already higher-tier.
A tile-over-cement-board bath will fail. Sometimes in a year, sometimes in five. We use full membrane systems on every wet wall and tested pre-slope at every shower pan. The cost difference is small relative to the rebuild that follows a leak — especially in an older Edina home where damage can spread through framing into the floor below.
Often yes, by borrowing from a closet, hallway, or adjacent bedroom. Both within-footprint rebuilds and structural expansions can work — the right answer depends on the house, the plumbing geometry, and what the rest of the floor needs to keep functioning.
We coordinate it. Tile-setting and shower-glass fabrication are done by trade partners we’ve worked with for years. The on-site discipline — substrate, membrane, layout, glass measurement timing — is ours, and that’s where the bathroom either ages well or doesn’t.
Next step
Start with the layout conversation before the selection conversation. We can pressure-test the footprint, the structural questions, and the finish standard against the rest of the house.
