How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Camas, WA?

Camas bathroom remodels generally run $10,000 to $60,000+. A guest or hall bath refresh — new vanity, fixtures, tile floor and a tub surround — usually lands in the teens. The primary suites in Prune Hill, Grass Valley and Camas Meadows homes are the bigger jobs: converting the standard 1990s garden-tub-plus-corner-shower layout into one large walk-in shower typically runs $28,000 to $50,000 depending on tile, glass and whether the tub stays. You get an itemized written estimate after the free consultation.

How long does a bathroom remodel take in Camas, WA?

Most Camas bathrooms take 3–8 weeks on site. Tile and waterproofing are the pacing items: a mortar-bed shower pan and a sheet or liquid waterproofing membrane both need cure and flood-test time that cannot be compressed. Plan review adds time if your scope needs plans, and the City of Camas notes residential review turnaround depends on the volume of plans in the queue. You get the full schedule in writing before demolition.

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Camas?

Almost always. Anything that moves or adds plumbing, alters mechanical systems like exhaust ventilation, or changes structure requires a permit — and interior remodels need plan review depending on scope. A like-for-like vanity and fixture swap with no plumbing relocation generally does not. Electrical permits come from Washington L&I rather than the city. Homes outside Camas city limits permit through Clark County instead. We identify the right jurisdiction, submit, and carry the inspections as your licensed contractor (L&I # SERDEGL826PD).

Can you build a curbless walk-in shower in a Camas home?

Usually yes, and it is the most requested upgrade we do in Camas. A curbless entry needs the shower pan recessed into the floor structure, which is straightforward on a slab or over a crawlspace but requires sistering or notching joists on a second-floor primary bath — the standard situation in the two-story Prune Hill and Camas Meadows plans. We check the framing direction and depth during the consultation and tell you honestly whether curbless, a low-profile half-inch threshold, or a standard curb is the right call for your house.

How do you keep a Pacific Northwest bathroom from growing mold?

Two things, done properly. First, real waterproofing behind the tile — a bonded sheet or liquid-applied membrane with sealed corners and a flood-tested pan, not just cement board and thinset. Second, ventilation that actually moves air: Washington code sets a minimum exhaust capacity for bathrooms, and we size the fan for the room, duct it in insulated rigid pipe to the outside rather than into the attic, and put it on a humidity-sensing or timer switch. In a climate with wet months from October through May, this is what separates a bathroom that lasts twenty years from one that fails in five.

Which Camas neighborhoods do you work in?

All of Camas and the surrounding area — Prune Hill, Grass Valley, Lacamas Shores, Lacamas Lake and the North Shore, Camas Meadows, Green Mountain, Fern Prairie, Forest Home and downtown Camas, plus neighboring Washougal. Camas is a short drive east of our Vancouver base, so a walkthrough or an inspection does not become a scheduling problem.

Can I stay in the house during the remodel?

Yes, if you have a second bathroom. We contain the work area with plastic and a negative-air setup, keep the dust out of the rest of the house, and stay inside Camas construction hours — 7am to 7pm weekdays, 7am to 5pm Saturday, and nothing on Sundays or major holidays. If the bathroom being remodeled is your only one, we sequence the plumbing so the toilet is out of service for the shortest possible window and tell you which days those are up front.

Local Knowledge

What a Camas bathroom remodel actually involves

The scope depends almost entirely on when your house was built and where the bathroom sits in it. These are the four situations we run into again and again in Camas.

The 1990s and 2000s primary suite — Prune Hill, Grass Valley, Camas Meadows

Nearly every hillside home of this era got the same primary bath: a corner garden tub under a window, a small separate shower with a curb and a framed glass door, a long low double vanity, and an oversized soffit above it.

Removing the garden tub and turning the whole wet wall into one large walk-in shower
Curbless or low-threshold entry, which means dropping the pan into the floor framing
Dropping the soffit, raising the vanity to comfort height, adding a taller mirror
Large-format porcelain or slab wall panels in place of 4-inch tile with grout lines everywhere

Hall and guest baths — the compact remodel

Usually a 5-foot tub alcove, a single vanity and a vinyl floor. The footprint rarely changes, so the value is all in materials and detailing.

Tub-to-shower conversion, or a new tub with a full-height tile surround
Heated tile floor — a genuinely worthwhile upgrade in a Camas winter
Recessed niches and a bench instead of a hanging caddy
Right-sized exhaust fan, ducted outside in insulated rigid pipe

Downtown Camas & Forest Home — the older houses

Often a single bathroom, sometimes the only one in the house, with decades of layered work behind the walls. Sequencing matters more than anything else here.

Cast-iron waste and galvanized supply worth replacing while the wall is open
Joist direction that limits how far a toilet flange or shower drain can move
No existing exhaust fan, or one vented into the attic instead of outside
We plan the days the only toilet is offline and tell you in advance

Built for a wet climate — the part you never see

Camas gets its rain from October to May, and a bathroom is where that humidity concentrates. Most shower failures we are called to repair are waterproofing and ventilation failures, not tile failures.

Bonded sheet or liquid-applied membrane with sealed corners, not just cement board
A flood-tested pan before a single tile goes on
Exhaust sized for the room, on a humidity sensor or timer, ducted to the exterior
Washington code sets a minimum exhaust capacity for bathrooms — we size above it, not to it

Permits: City of Camas or Clark County?

Bathrooms trigger permits more often than any other room, because almost every meaningful change touches plumbing or mechanical systems. Homes inside Camas city limits are permitted by the City of Camas Building Division. Addresses in unincorporated Clark County go through the county's electronic plan review, which no longer accepts paper submittals. We confirm which one covers your address before design starts.

A like-for-like vanity and fixture swap usually needs nothing. Moving a drain, adding a shower, changing the ventilation, or altering framing does. Electrical is a separate permit and does not come from the city.

Great experience working with this company. They were professional, responsive, and the quality of their work was solid. They even took the time to treat me to lunch and go over the project details, which I appreciated. Would recommend.

The SERDEN Group did a complete remodel of our two upstairs bathrooms. Every step of the way Dennis, and his team, were communicative, kind, timely, and productive. They worked diligently, caring about the impact of having workers in your home. Everyone was friendly and attended to our creative ideas for the bathrooms. In the end we have two amazing new bathrooms. Our family is grateful for SERDEN and are wonderfully reminded daily of their excellent work. Thank you!
