Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Northern Michigan

Q: How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Northern Michigan?

Bathroom remodeling costs vary based on the size of the space and the scope of the project. Entry-level 3-piece bathroom remodels start with fiberglass tub and shower replacements. Luxury primary bathroom remodels with custom tile showers, soaking tubs, and premium fixtures represent the higher end of the range. Contact us for a detailed estimate based on your specific project.

Q: Can you manage a bathroom remodel if I am not on-site?

Yes. We work with vacation homeowners regularly, and our entire process is built around it. Our design approval phase ensures every detail is confirmed before construction begins. Our fixed-price agreement means no surprise costs mid-build. And your single point of contact keeps you informed throughout without requiring you to be present.

Q: What does a full bathroom remodel include?

A full bathroom remodel with Custom Built covers design and planning, demolition, plumbing, electrical, tile work, flooring, vanity and cabinet installation, fixture installation, glass enclosures, and cleanup. You do not coordinate separate vendors. We handle all of it.

Q: How long does a bathroom remodel take?

Most bathroom remodels run 3 to 8 weeks of construction, depending on the scope. For vacation homeowners with a seasonal deadline, we work backward from your target arrival date to build a realistic project schedule. Starting the planning process during the off-season gives you the most flexibility.

Q: What is the difference between a 3-piece and a primary bathroom remodel?

A 3-piece bathroom contains a toilet, sink, and either a shower or a tub. A primary bathroom is a full master bath that typically includes a larger footprint, double vanity, separate tub and shower, and a more extensive design scope. Pricing and timeline differ significantly between the two.

Q: Does Custom Built offer a warranty on bathroom remodeling work?

Every project is backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee. If something we built fails due to workmanship, we fix it permanently. Our material and fixture partners also carry manufacturer warranties that layer on top of ours.

Q: Do you pull permits for bathroom remodels in Northern Michigan?

Yes. We pull all required permits through your local municipality as part of our process, whether your property is in Charlevoix, Petoskey, Boyne City, Boyne Falls, Harbor Springs, East Jordan, or anywhere else across the Northern Michigan communities we serve.

Serving homeowners and vacation property owners across Charlevoix, Petoskey, Torch Lake, Walloon Lake, and the surrounding Northern Michigan communities with full-scope design-build bathroom remodels.

A bathroom in a Northern Michigan property is not just a functional space. It is where you start your morning before a day on the water, where guests get their first impression of how well the home is cared for, and where the details of a well-designed property either come together or fall short.

At Custom Built, we have been remodeling bathrooms for homeowners across Northern Michigan from our Boyne City location. As a design-build firm, we handle everything under one roof so you never coordinate a separate vendor. Our bathroom design process develops your complete vision from layout and fixture placement through full 3D renderings before construction begins. Our walk-in shower installation service builds custom tile showers with glass enclosures and premium fixtures. We handle vanity and cabinet installation, bathroom tile work, and flooring installation suited to your design and Northern Michigan's seasonal conditions. If your tub is the problem but the rest of the bathroom is not, our tub to shower conversion delivers a dramatic upgrade without the investment of a full remodel.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Northern Michigan

We are not here to replace a faucet and move on. We are here to build the bathroom your Northern Michigan property deserves. As a design-build firm, every service below is part of one coordinated process managed by one team from start to finish.

Bathroom Design

Our in-house design team develops your complete bathroom plan, including layout, fixture placement, tile selection, vanity configuration, lighting, and full 3D renderings. For vacation homeowners who are not always on-site, this phase is critical. You approve every detail before construction begins, so there are no surprises when you arrive.

Walk-In Shower Installation

A walk-in shower is one of the most requested and highest-impact upgrades in any bathroom remodel. We design and build custom tile showers with glass enclosures, built-in seating, and premium fixtures that fit the aesthetic of your Northern Michigan property from the ground up.

Tub to Shower Conversion

Many vacation homeowners want the space and functionality of a walk-in shower in a room that was originally designed around a tub. We handle the full conversion, including plumbing reconfiguration, waterproofing, tile work, and glass installation as part of the complete remodel.

Vanity and Cabinet Installation

The vanity anchors the design of your entire bathroom. We source and install custom and semi-custom vanity systems with countertops, sinks, and storage configurations built around how you use the space and the level of finish your property calls for.

Bathroom Tile Installation

Tile defines the character of a bathroom more than almost any other element. We handle floor tile, shower tile, accent walls, and full wet area installations with material selections that complement your design direction and hold up through Northern Michigan's seasonal conditions.

Bathroom Flooring Installation

The right bathroom floor balances beauty, durability, and comfort. We install porcelain tile, ceramic tile, and luxury vinyl plank in bathrooms across the Northern Michigan area, helping you choose the material that works for your property's specific use and design.

Master Bathroom Remodeling

A master bathroom in a Torch Lake or Walloon Lake property should feel like a retreat. We build complete master bath transformations with custom tile showers, freestanding soaking tubs, double vanities, heated floors, and premium fixtures that match the character of the home and the setting it sits in.

Accessible Bathroom Remodeling

For homeowners thinking about long-term use of their Northern Michigan property, accessible design makes the space work for every stage of life. We incorporate walk-in showers with zero-threshold entries, grab bars, comfort height fixtures, and thoughtful layouts that prioritize both safety and style.
