Shower Remodeling

The shower is the one fixture in your house that puts water against a wall every single day, which is why a shower that was built wrong shows up as a framing bill. Serden Group rebuilds them from the studs out: sloped bed, bonded waterproofing membrane, flood test, then tile. Tub-to-shower conversions, curbless walk-ins and full custom tile showers across Clark County and the Portland metro.

A shower you will not be
rebuilding in six years.

Almost every failed shower we tear out failed in the same three places: an unsealed corner, a drain flange that was never bonded to the pan, and a curb that was tiled over bare wood. None of them are visible once the tile is on, and none of them show up in a low bid. We build the waterproofing as one continuous assembly, hold water in the pan overnight to prove it, and only then start setting tile — so the finish you are paying for is sitting on something that will outlast it.

Every Shower Type. One Crew.

Conversions, curbless walk-ins, custom tile, glass and valve upgrades. Demolition, framing repair, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, tile and enclosure — sequenced by one project manager, inspected under one license.

Everything a shower takes —
under one contract

A shower is a waterproofing assembly with tile on it. Here is the full scope Serden Group coordinates — our own crew on demolition, waterproofing, tile and finish, plus licensed, vetted trade partners for plumbing and electrical.

Demolition to bare studs

Tub, surround, old tile and any soft backer board come out completely. Nothing new gets built on a substrate that has already been wet.

Framing and subfloor repair

Rot at the sill plate, a spongy subfloor or a wall that is out of plumb gets corrected first — tile telegraphs every flaw underneath it.

Drain and valve rough-in

Relocated drains, new mixing valves and pressure-balanced or thermostatic trim, roughed in and inspected before the walls close.

Waterproofing assembly

A bonded sheet or liquid membrane over a properly sloped bed, with the corners, curb and drain flange sealed as one continuous system.

Flood test before tile

The pan gets plugged and held with water so a failure shows up while it is still a plumbing fix instead of a demolition.

Benches, niches and curbs

Framed and waterproofed as part of the shower assembly — not siliconed on after the fact, which is where most leaks start.

Tile layout and setting

Layout planned off the drain and the door sightline, full-coverage mortar behind every piece, and joints that line up wall to floor.

Glass and enclosure

Measured after the tile is set and cured, then templated so the reveal at the wall is even and the door swings clear of the vanity.

Ventilation and permits

An exhaust fan sized to the room and ducted outside, plus the plumbing permit and inspections whenever a drain or wall moves.

How a shower remodel works —
from demo to final inspection.

How It Works
1
Feasibility

Before you pay for design, we measure your lot against your zone's setbacks, lot coverage and height limits, and check whether your foundation and roof can carry what you want to build. You get an honest yes, a build-up-instead recommendation, or a no — plus a realistic budget range.

2
Design & Permit

Floor plans, elevations and stamped structural drawings, then submittal and plan-review management with Clark County, Vancouver, Camas or Portland Permitting & Development. Every selection and every line of the schedule is approved before material is ordered.

Build & Tie-In

Footings, framing, roof tie-in, mechanicals, then finishes — with your kitchen and bathrooms kept in service and the work zone sealed and dust-controlled. One project manager, one number to call, and a punch-list walkthrough before final inspection.

Primary bathroom remodel

We recently hired Serden Group LLC for a major master bathroom remodel, and we’re extremely happy with the results. Our original space had a large soaker tub and a small 36" x 36" fiberglass shower. After receiving multiple quotes, we chose Serden Group because they offered a clear plan, a thoughtful design approach, and confidence in handling a full transformation. Our project included several significant changes: removing the soaker tub, building a large, fully tiled walk-in shower, relocating the toilet, installing LVP flooring, and even expanding our master closet by moving a wall. They were consistently flexible and willing to work with every new idea or adjustment we brought up. They took the time to explain options, talk through structural considerations, and make sure each decision supported the overall design. One thing we appreciated was that they provided an initial timeline and projected completion date — and they met it. Even when we experienced a family emergency, they were incredibly accommodating and adjusted their schedule to make things easier for us without slowing the project down. The craftsmanship throughout the remodel is excellent. The tile work is beautiful, the closet expansion looks seamless, and the new layout is far more functional and visually appealing. The finished space feels like a true upgrade to our home. We’re very pleased with the entire experience and highly recommend Serden Group LLC to anyone considering a bathroom remodel. They delivered quality work, stayed true to their timeline, and were genuinely supportive when we needed flexibility.

Bathroom remodel

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. The few times we ever had any concerns, everyone on the team took action immediately and rectified the situation swiftly. 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!

Bathroom remodel

Dennis and his team an absolutely incredible job on our bathroom remodel. They transformed our upstairs bathroom by installing a new bathtub, toilet, double sink vanity, and lightning. For this project, they performed all of the plumbing, electrical, and tile work. Dennis was easy to work and the team showed up every day until the job was finished. We could not be happier with the job they did, and we look forward to hiring them again when we remodel our downstairs bathroom.

Primary & kids' bathrooms · Vancouver, WA

Working w David has been 10/10! I did my research and got several bids for our master bath.. they had competitive pricing and were able to execute my vision better than what I had even imagined!! I had a massive ugly dated jetted tub that took up way too much space and the overall old bathroom was just, not it. David & his AMAZING guys went above and beyond to make sure my dream bathroom was what I wanted. He also did my kids bathroom— and they are so happy with it! Such a nice guy. Def hire them to get your next project done!!

Bedroom-to-bathroom conversion

Super happy with the work Serden Group did to convert part of my primary bedroom to a bathroom. Their price was competitive and they came highly recommended by a friend. Dennis is a great communicator. His team was timely, courteous and professional. If I have other reno projects in the future, I will definitely use them again.

Primary bathroom remodel

Our experience with this company has been great. We got several bids, and decided to hire the Serden Group to demo and remodel our master bath and tear out a corner fireplace in our master bedroom. David, the project manager, was there on site checking in often, and making sure things were going smoothly. The contractors had great work ethic and did a great job. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Primary bathroom remodel

I used Serden Group to do a Master Bathroom remodel in Spring 2024. They were fabulous to work with from the start. Approachable, responsive and easy to get along with. I didn't know where to start with some things and they guided me through the process. The perfect amount of professionalism but casual at the same time. We received several quotes and they were also the most affordable. They are coming out for another bathroom remodel project soon and I'm looking forward to working with them again!

Bathroom remodel

We had Serden Group remodel our bathroom and are really happy with how it turned out. This was something we'd been putting off for a while, and now I wish we'd done it sooner. The crew was respectful of our home, answered our questions, and paid attention to the little details. The tile work looks great, and the whole bathroom feels so much more comfortable to use. We've already recommended them to friends

Kitchen & bathroom remodel

I recently hired Serden Group for a full kitchen and bathroom remodel, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and detail-oriented. The quality of their work is outstanding — everything from the tile installation to the cabinetry and finishes looks beautiful and well-crafted. They completed the project on time and within budget, which is rare to find these days. I highly recommend Serden Group to anyone looking for top-quality remodeling work. They truly exceeded my expectations!

Whole-home remodel

Fantastic experience! They renovated my entire home with new floors, a full kitchen remodel, and a bathroom upgrade. The kitchen looks amazing with new cabinets, countertop, and appliances, and the bathroom to shower conversion turned out beautifully. Great quality work, finished on time, easy to communicate with, and their pricing was very competitive. Highly recommend!

Kitchen & bathroom remodel

We hired Serden Group to remodel our kitchen and bathroom, and we're really happy with how both turned out. It was a big project for us, so we appreciated being able to ask questions and talk things through along the way. The kitchen is much more practical now, and the bathroom feels like a completely different space. We're glad we finally did it and would happily recommend them!

Bathroom remodel (rental)

These guys are a 100/10 stars. I have nothing but positive things to say for them. I had a bathroom at my rental property that needed a remodel. I called around a few places looking to obtain quotes. All the other competitors prices were just too much and I sense that their work was not quality. Finally a friend of mine recommended these guys and I was absolutely blown away by the price, professionalism, and quality work. The piece of mind is worth double what I paid. Thank you guys!!!!

Kitchen & bathroom remodel

I couldn't be happier with the work that was done! The designer came up with creative, beautiful ideas, and the team delivered! The whole process was extremely organized and very easy on my part. The kitchen and bathroom are stunning and they tackled all my smaller projects just as well. I'm extremely happy with the results. Thank You Serden Team!

Bedroom, bathrooms & kitchen cabinets

We have used Serden Team for 3 projects. They remodeled our master bedroom and bathroom, refaced kitchen cabinets and built a beautiful surround for my refrigerator so it looks built in and remodeled a secondary bathroom. Their work is fantastic. They are easy to work with and communication is the best. I can trust them to do a great job and do the work properly the first time. Wonderful company and will refer them gladly.

What a shower remodel costs in
Vancouver & Portland

Finished shower projects in this metro generally run $6,500 for a prefab conversion to $38,000 for a curbless, expanded tile shower. Here is the range we plan from before we have opened a wall.

Shower project Typical scope Planning range
Acrylic or solid-surface conversion Same footprint, prefab base and wall panels $6,500 – $11,000
Tile walk-in shower, same footprint Custom tile, new valve, semi-frameless glass $12,000 – $22,000
Curbless / zero-threshold shower Recessed pan, linear drain, frameless glass $18,000 – $32,000
Expanded shower (tub removed) New footprint, relocated drain, tile bench $22,000 – $38,000
Shower plus vanity and floor Shower rebuild with the rest of the room refreshed $28,000 – $48,000
Full bathroom around a new shower Everything down to the studs, relocated fixtures $45,000 – $75,000

What pushes the number up

Moving the drain, going curbless over a joist bay or a slab, mosaic and large-format tile, frameless glass, thermostatic valves with body sprays — and any rot we find the day the tub comes out.

What brings it down

Keeping the existing drain and valve locations, one tile size in a simple stack or offset layout, a semi-frameless enclosure, and doing the work while a wall is already open for something else.

What people forget to budget

The exhaust fan and its duct run to the exterior, door hardware, 15% extra tile for cuts and a future repair, and subfloor work nobody can see until demolition. We put an allowance for it in the contract.

Get a fixed price for your shower
Which one do you need

Shower replacement, conversion,
or the whole bathroom?

Three different projects get called "a shower remodel." They have different timelines, different permit exposure and very different budgets — so it is worth naming yours before you collect bids.

Shower replacement

Same footprint, same drain, same valve wall. The tile and pan are failing or dated and everything gets rebuilt in place.

Best when you need

  • — Grout is spreading, cracking or staining
  • — The pan flexes or the floor sounds hollow
  • — You like the layout and just want it new

Usually 2–3 weeks on site. Often no permit if nothing plumbed moves.

Tub-to-shower conversion

An alcove tub nobody has filled in years becomes a full-width walk-in shower, with the drain moved to the center or to a linear channel.

Best when you need

  • — You want a curbless or low-curb entry
  • — Aging in place, grab bars and a bench
  • — The tub is only used for storage

Plan on 3–4 weeks and a plumbing permit. Keep one tub somewhere in the house if this is your last one.

Full bathroom remodel

The shower is the biggest line item, but the vanity, floor, lighting and layout are all coming with it.

Best when you need

  • — Vanity, toilet or floor are also original
  • — You want the room reconfigured
  • — You would rather live through it once

Typically 5–8 weeks. See our full bathroom scope and pricing.

Shower Remodeling —
Common Questions

Most shower projects in this metro land between $12,000 and $32,000. A like-for-like acrylic or solid-surface conversion in the existing footprint runs $6,500–$11,000. A custom tile walk-in shower with new valve trim and semi-frameless glass is typically $12,000–$22,000. A curbless, zero-threshold shower with a recessed pan and linear drain runs $18,000–$32,000 because the floor structure has to be modified. Removing a tub and widening the footprint pushes it to $22,000–$38,000. Those ranges include demolition, framing repair, waterproofing, tile labor, glass and permit fees.
A same-footprint tile shower is normally 2–3 weeks on site. A tub-to-shower conversion is 3–4 weeks because the drain moves and a plumbing inspection has to be scheduled between rough-in and closing the walls. Curbless showers add a few days for structural work at the joists. Frameless glass is the long pole at the end — it is templated after the tile cures and takes 7–14 days to fabricate, so the shower is usually usable with a temporary curtain before the door arrives.
If the shower stays in the same footprint and the drain and valve do not move, a straight replacement is generally treated as maintenance and does not require a plumbing permit. The moment a drain is relocated, a valve is added, a wall moves, or a tub is converted to a shower, a permit is required in Vancouver, Camas and Portland alike. We pull it, schedule the inspections and pass them under our license so the work is on record when you sell.
It is one of the highest-satisfaction remodels we do, because most households have a tub they stopped using years ago and a shower they use twice a day. Converting frees up the full alcove width, makes the room easier to clean, and lets you build in a bench, a niche and blocking for grab bars while the wall is open. The one caution: keep at least one bathtub somewhere in the house. Buyers with small children screen for it, and a house with no tub at all narrows your resale pool.
A curbless or zero-threshold shower has no step at the entry — the bathroom floor runs flat into the shower and the water is carried by a slight slope to a linear drain. Whether yours can be curbless depends on the floor structure. Over a wood-framed floor we recess the pan between the joists, which requires access from below or sistering and blocking. On a concrete slab we either core and re-slope or build the entire bathroom floor up. We tell you which case you are in during the first site visit, before you have paid for design.
Tile and grout are not waterproof — the membrane behind them is, and that is the part nobody sees in a bid. We build a sloped mortar bed to the drain, then bond a sheet or liquid membrane continuously across the pan, curb, corners and up the walls, sealing to the drain flange and every penetration. Benches and niches are waterproofed as part of the same assembly. Then we flood-test the pan before tile goes on, so a defect shows up as a plumbing fix instead of a rebuild two years later.
Yes, and it is worth doing while the wall is already open even if nobody needs it yet. A zero-threshold entry, a 36-inch clear opening, a built-in bench, a hand shower on a slide bar, a thermostatic valve that will not spike when a toilet flushes, and solid blocking behind the tile for grab bars later — that package adds far less to the budget now than it costs to retrofit. Our team includes NAHB CAPS-certified aging-in-place planning.
Yes to both. We offer flexible financing on remodel projects, and every shower we build is backed by our written workmanship warranty in addition to the manufacturer coverage on the valve, glass and tile. Because the waterproofing is the part that matters, we document the assembly and the flood test so a warranty claim is never a debate about what is behind the wall.
