Two permit paths, a wet season that never lets a bathroom dry out, and a housing stock full of 1990s mortar-bed pans that are now at the end of their life. Serden Group rebuilds Vancouver showers from the studs out — sloped bed, bonded membrane, flood test, then tile — and pulls the permit through the right jurisdiction for your address. One licensed team, one project manager. Locally trusted since 2015.
Nearly every shower we demolish in Clark County failed the same way: a PVC pan liner that was never bonded to the wall membrane, corners sealed with caulk instead of fabric, and an exhaust fan too small to dry the room between showers. Eight months of Pacific Northwest humidity finds all three. We fix the assembly, not the symptom — continuous waterproofing across pan, curb and walls, a flood test before tile, and a fan sized to the room and ducted all the way outside.
Tub-to-shower conversions, curbless walk-ins, custom tile and glass — for homes inside Vancouver city limits and across unincorporated Clark County. Demolition, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, tile and enclosure under one contract.
An unused alcove tub comes out and the full width becomes a walk-in shower — new drain, new valve, new waterproofing.
Zero-threshold entries with a recessed pan and linear drain, so the floor runs flat from the door to the shower head.
Bonded membrane over a sloped bed, sealed corners and flange, water-tested before a single tile is set.
Templated frameless and semi-frameless enclosures, thermostatic valves, rain heads, hand showers and body sprays.
We confirm whether your address is inside Vancouver city limits or unincorporated Clark County — the two have different applications and different review — then measure your lot against your zone’s setbacks, lot coverage and height limits. You get an honest go, a build-up-instead recommendation, or a no, plus a realistic budget range before you pay for design.
Floor plans, elevations and stamped structural drawings, then submittal and plan-review management with the City of Vancouver or the Clark County Permit Center. We handle correction responses, the stormwater plan when a project crosses the impervious-area threshold, and the system development charges tied to added square footage.
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, daily progress, and a punch-list walkthrough before we call for final inspection.
Vancouver, WA homeowners choose Serden Group for expert guidance and a stress-free home addition — from design to final walkthrough.
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!
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!
I had a very pleasant experience with SERDEN GROUP company. They remodeled my bathroom, and I am completely satisfied with the result. Fast and high-quality work. Denis answered all of my questions, suggested great solutions for the renovation, and delivered everything he promised. I 100% recommend them.
Had the pleasure to work with this team on a project for one of their clients. They followed through with every request from start to finish and we can proudly say that, they really put their best foot forward with all their work. Our team would love to continue to work together for future jobs!
Before the tile question, four local facts decide your scope, your permit path and your timeline. We work through all four on the first visit so nothing surfaces after you have signed.
A Vancouver mailing address does not mean a Vancouver permit. Salmon Creek, Felida, Hazel Dell and Orchards permit through Clark County; addresses inside the city go through City of Vancouver Community Development. Different fees, different inspection queues. We confirm which one you are in from the parcel, not the mailing address.
Relocating a drain, adding a valve, moving a wall, or converting a tub to a shower all require a plumbing permit and a rough-in inspection before the walls close. A like-for-like replacement in the same footprint generally does not. We pull the permit and pass the inspection under our license so the work is on record at resale.
Homes built here through the 1980s and 1990s used a mortar bed over a PVC liner with no bonded wall membrane — a system with a 20-to-25-year service life that is now expiring across Cascade Park, Hazel Dell and Northwest Neighborhood. If your grout is spreading at the corners or the floor sounds hollow, the failure is behind the tile, not on it.
Clark County averages roughly 40 inches of rain a year, and a bathroom with an undersized fan or a duct that dumps into the attic never dries between showers. We size the fan to the room, run the duct to an exterior termination, and put both in the quote — because a perfect waterproofing assembly still grows mold on the surface if the room stays wet.
Permit requirements, fees and system charges change. Verify current requirements with the City of Vancouver or Clark County for your parcel — we handle submittal and inspections either way, and we will tell you which agency has jurisdiction before you commit to a scope.
From Salmon Creek and Felida to Cascade Park, Hazel Dell and Fisher’s Landing — Serden Group has built additions throughout Vancouver and Clark County. We know which addresses fall under the city and which under the county, what the Permit Center wants to see on a site plan, and how long review actually takes.

Ranges below reflect finished Vancouver projects including demolition, framing repair, waterproofing, tile labor, glass, permit fees and cleanup. Washington sales tax applies to labor as well as materials.
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.
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.
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.
