Master Bathroom Remodel in Kennesaw, GA

What a master bathroom remodel can include

The right scope depends on what bothers you about the room today and how much you want to change. In addition, a master bath remodel can be as focused as new finishes in the existing layout or as ambitious as relocating fixtures and reclaiming space from a closet.

• Layout changes. Moving or removing a tub deck, reworking a vanity wall, enlarging a shower or separating a water closet from the main area.
• Shower and tub. A custom-tiled walk-in shower, a freestanding tub or both, replacing an old corner tub and cramped stall.
• Vanity. Dual vanities, a makeup area, deeper drawers and better storage.
• Flooring and tile. Porcelain or stone tile, with heated-floor options that make a big difference on winter mornings.
• Lighting and electrical. Layered lighting, dimmers, outlets where you need them and moisture-rated fixtures.
• Ventilation. A quiet, properly ducted exhaust fan that controls moisture.
• Comfort and accessibility. Comfort-height toilets, a curbless shower, seating and grab-bar blocking.

We start by understanding how you use the room: who uses it, at what time of day, what frustrates you and what you want to keep. Moreover, those answers guide the design more than any trend.

What a master bath remodel costs

Published 2026 bathroom cost data (Block Renovation) places a mid-range primary bath of 75 to 100 square feet at roughly $25,000 to $50,000 and a high-end primary suite of 100 square feet or more at about $50,000 to $120,000 or more. Furthermore, the same source lists per-square-foot ranges of about $80 to $120 for a cosmetic refresh, $150 to $250 for mid-range remodels, $250 to $400 for high-end work and $400 to $600 or more for luxury primary suites.

These are ranges, not quotes. Also, moving plumbing, upgrading to custom glass, choosing natural stone and adding heated floors or specialty fixtures all push a project higher, while keeping fixtures where they are keeps costs down. In addition, we provide a written price after a free consultation.

Layout decisions that matter most

The largest quality-of-life improvements in a master bath usually come from layout rather than finishes. Moreover, replacing a rarely used tub with a larger walk-in shower can open the room. Furthermore, a separate water closet gives privacy when two people share the bathroom. Also, dual vanities with enough clearance reduce morning congestion. In addition, a pocket door or barn-style door can free space where a swinging door collides with a vanity or toilet. If the bathroom connects to a closet, borrowing a few square feet can create room for a bench or a larger shower without changing the footprint of the house.

We measure clearances carefully: 30 inches between vanity and wall, adequate space in front of the toilet and a comfortable path from the door to the shower. Moreover, good layouts feel generous even in a modest room.

The process from design to walkthrough

1. Free consultation, installation approved. We walk the bathroom, discuss goals and a budget range and identify constraints such as plumbing stacks and load-bearing walls.
2. Design and selections. Layout, tile, vanity, fixtures and lighting are chosen and confirmed in writing.
3. Permits. Permits are pulled when plumbing, electrical or structural work requires them.
4. Demolition and rough-in. The room is taken down to the studs. Plumbing, electrical and ventilation are updated.
5. Waterproofing and tile. Showers and floors are waterproofed, sloped and tiled.
6. Fixtures and finish. Vanity, countertop, toilet, glass, mirrors, lighting and paint are installed.
7. Final walkthrough. We review every detail with you and leave the space clean.

Many master bath remodels take about three to six weeks on site, depending on size and complexity, plus lead time for custom glass, vanities and specialty tile. Furthermore, we schedule orders early so the project does not stall.

Living at home during the project

Primary bathrooms are the rooms people miss most when they are out of service. If you have a second bathroom, we plan access so you can use it. If you do not, we discuss options in advance, such as temporary arrangements, phasing the work or choosing a schedule that suits your family. Also, we protect floors and hallways, seal the work area with dust barriers and clean daily. In addition, short on-site days and clear communication help keep the disruption manageable.

Choosing materials for a primary bathroom

Material choices set both the look and the maintenance of the room. Moreover, porcelain tile is durable and water resistant, and large-format versions reduce grout lines. Furthermore, natural stone adds character but requires sealing. Also, quartz countertops resist stains and do not need sealing, while marble is elegant but marks easily. In addition, for vanities, solid wood or plywood construction with soft-close doors and full-extension drawers lasts longer than particleboard. Moreover, fixtures in brushed nickel, matte black or brushed brass each have their own look, and the key is to choose one family of finishes and use it consistently on faucets, shower trim, lighting and hardware.

We also recommend thinking about daily routines. If two people get ready at the same time, dual sinks and separate mirrors matter more than a decorative feature. When you shave or apply makeup, high-quality lighting at face height is more valuable than a statement chandelier. If you have limited storage, built-in niches, a tall linen cabinet or a recessed medicine cabinet may be worth more than another inch of countertop.

Budgeting and phasing a master bath

A realistic budget includes a contingency for hidden conditions. Furthermore, behind old tubs and showers, we occasionally find rot, outdated plumbing or electrical issues that must be corrected before new work goes in. Also, setting aside a modest allowance for surprises keeps the project from stalling. If your total budget is limited, we can phase work, for example completing the shower and flooring now and the vanity and lighting later, as long as the phases are designed together. In addition, we also help you decide where to splurge and where to save, putting money into waterproofing, ventilation and fixtures you touch every day before decorative extras.

Moisture, ventilation and the details that last

The best-looking bathroom fails if moisture is not controlled. Moreover, we install a continuous waterproofing system in showers, correct slope to drains, moisture-resistant backing in wet areas and an exhaust fan sized for the room and vented to the outside. Georgia humidity makes mildew a constant risk, and a properly vented bathroom protects your paint, cabinetry and tile. Furthermore, details such as sealed grout, proper caulk joints, GFCI protection and moisture-rated lighting add up to a bathroom that looks the same in ten years as it does on day one.

Permits, HOAs and neighborhoods

Master bathroom remodels commonly involve permits for plumbing and electrical work. Also, we confirm the requirements for your address, whether in the City of Kennesaw or unincorporated Cobb County, and coordinate inspections. In addition, HOA communities rarely regulate interior bathroom projects, but we check. Moreover, we remodel master bathrooms across Kennesaw, including areas near Barrett Parkway, Cobb Parkway, Bells Ferry Road and Big Shanty, in ZIP codes 30144 and 30152, and in nearby Marietta, Acworth, Woodstock and Smyrna.
