Free ConsultationBathroom Remodel Colorado Springs: Costs, Timeline & What to Expect
A bathroom remodel in Colorado Springs is one of the most common projects homeowners call me about, and one of the most nerve-racking. It is a small room with a lot going on: plumbing, waterproofing, tile, electrical, and a budget you want to respect.
I'm Curtis Peyton, owner of I'm The Man Services. I started out in Denver and have spent more than 15 years in renovation and construction. This guide walks you through what a bathroom renovation in Colorado Springs really involves, in plain language, so you can plan with confidence.
What a Bathroom Remodel Really Costs in Colorado Springs
Let's start with the question everyone asks first. Our bathroom remodel projects start around $10,000 for bathrooms in the 50 to 175 square foot range. That covers the typical full remodel for a standard bathroom, and every project is priced to the specific home, because no two bathrooms are alike.
Where does the price move up from there? Usually in the upgrades people fall in love with along the way:
- Tile: Upgrading to larger-format tile, mosaic accents, or a full tile surround.
- Showers: Moving from a basic tub-shower to a custom walk-in shower.
- Heated floors: A small addition that makes a big difference on a cold Colorado morning.
- Hardware and fixtures: New faucets, pulls, towel bars, and lighting. A simple hardware swap can change the whole feel of the room.
I will walk the space with you, take measurements, and give you a written, line-by-line estimate so you can see where the money goes. A small bathroom remodel can often feel brand new with smart choices rather than a long list of extras.
I do not compete on being the lowest bid. My pricing reflects careful work and materials that last.
How Long Does a Bathroom Renovation Take, and Do You Need a Permit?
For most projects, a bathroom renovation in Colorado Springs takes about 10 days once work begins. Bigger layout changes or special-order materials can stretch that, and I will tell you up front if something has a long lead time.
Permits: the short version
- Structural work needs a permit. If we are moving walls, changing framing, or altering the layout in a way that affects the structure, a permit is required.
- Cosmetic upgrades do not. New tile, a new vanity, fresh fixtures, and paint generally do not need one.
In El Paso County, permitting and inspections run through the regional building department (PPRBD). For minor framing, plan on roughly one to two weeks; larger structural changes take longer.
I am working toward my Colorado general contractor license, and in the meantime I work with trusted licensed GCs who pull permits when a project calls for one. You will always know what is needed before we start.
Shower and Tub Upgrades That Hold Up in Colorado Homes
The shower is usually the heart of the project, so it is worth getting right. Here is what I recommend homeowners think about.
Walk-in showers. A shower remodel in Colorado Springs is often about swapping an old tub-shower or cramped stall for an open walk-in design. They are easy to step into and make a small room feel larger.
Tub-to-shower conversions. If nobody in your house takes baths, converting the tub to a shower frees up room for a bench or storage niches.
Porcelain tile. Porcelain is the tile I install most. It is durable, handles moisture well, and comes in many looks. I install ceramic, natural stone, and mosaic too.
Waterproofing. This is the part you never see, and the part that matters most. A beautiful shower with poor waterproofing will cause trouble later. Doing it correctly behind the tile is where craftsmanship shows.
Heated floors. Electric floor heat under the tile is easiest to add during a remodel and welcome on cold Colorado mornings.
My flooring background, including NWFA certification, taught me how much a good surface depends on proper prep. That mindset carries into every tile floor and shower I build.
How to Choose a Bathroom Remodeler in Colorado Springs
If you are comparing bathroom remodelers in Colorado Springs, here is what makes my approach different, and what I would look for in anyone you hire.
One point of contact. I am owner-operated. When you call, you reach me, not a call center. I work with one helper as needed and bring in trusted, licensed subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, and other specialty trades. You get a single person accountable for the whole job.
Licensed trades and real insurance. Plumbing and electrical should be done by licensed pros. I carry a $2 million general liability policy and can provide a certificate of insurance on request.
A written warranty. My work comes with a one-year workmanship warranty, plus manufacturer warranties on materials. Tile and flooring work carries a longer five-year warranty.
Three questions to ask any remodeler
- Who will actually be in my home each day, and who do I call when I have a question?
- Who handles the plumbing, electrical, and permits, and are they licensed and insured?
- What does your warranty cover, and can I get it in writing?
I serve homeowners across El Paso County, from Fountain to Monument, and within about 25 miles of Colorado Springs there is no travel fee.
