Our Bathroom Remodeling services

What's Included in Our Alpharetta Bathroom Remodels
Grand Home Designs handles your bathroom remodeling project from the initial design consultation through final inspection. You won’t have to worry about handoffs to unlicensed subcontractors or vague terms that increase your project cost. Expect a clearly defined project from start to finish.
Here's what a full bathroom remodel in Alpharetta typically covers:
Lighting & Electrical
Task lighting at the vanity, ambient overhead lighting, and accent options, plus any required circuit upgrades to meet Alpharetta building codes for wet area safety.
Tile Work
Floor tile, shower tile, and feature walls installed with the correct backer board, setting materials, and grout for long-term performance, not just a pretty finish on day one.
Shower & Tub Redesign
Custom tile showers, walk-in conversions, tub-to-shower changes, and freestanding tub installations, always built with proper membranes, pan slopes, and waterproofing from the substrate out.
Vanity & Storage
Custom or semi-custom vanities, double vanity upgrades, medicine cabinets, linen towers, and built-in storage that makes the room function as well as it looks.
Ventilation
Complete with properly sized exhaust fans that clear out moisture, protecting your tile, paint, and framing for the long term. We spec and install ventilation that meets or exceeds code minimums.
Plumbing Fixtures
Shower valves, faucets, and drains designed for reliability. We'll walk you through trade-offs so you're not replacing them again five years from now.
Permits & Inspections Included
As a licensed Georgia residential contractor, we handle all permit applications, required trade permits, and inspections for your Alpharetta bathroom remodel. We also confirm your permit jurisdiction early — some Alpharetta addresses fall under City of Milton or Fulton County rules rather than the City of Alpharetta, and getting that wrong at the start creates delays.
Why Waterproofing Is the Most Important Part of Any Bathroom Remodel
Most bathroom remodel failures, like tile cracking, grout molding, walls swelling, or floors delaminating, trace back to the same root cause: waterproofing done incorrectly. It's work that happens before any of the beautiful finishes go in, which leads to some contractors cut corners on it. At Grand Home Designs, waterproofing is given first priority to ensure longevity.
Every shower built in Alpharetta includes:
Shower pan membrane or linear drain system: sloped correctly to direct water to the drain, not into the subfloor
Waterproof backer board or cement board: the correct substrate for tile in wet areas, never regular drywall
Seam and corner waterproofing: the most common failure points, treated with membrane tape and sealant before tile goes on
Proper grout and caulk selection: we'll explain the difference, where each belongs, and what maintenance looks like over time
Ventilation sized for the room: because even perfect waterproofing can fail over time if moisture has nowhere to escape
Bathroom Remodeling in Alpharetta:
What Local Homeowners Should Know
Alpharetta has specific characteristics that affect how bathroom remodeling projects are planned and executed. A contractor who works across all of metro Atlanta without deep local knowledge can run into avoidable delays and complications that add cost and time to your project.
Confirm Your Permit Jurisdiction Before Design Begins
Not all Alpharetta addresses fall within the City of Alpharetta's limits. Properties near the northern boundary, particularly in communities close to Milton, along Bethany Road, or near the Forsyth County line, may fall under City of Milton or unincorporated Fulton County jurisdiction. This affects which office issues permits, which inspectors visit your site, and how long approvals take. We confirm jurisdiction during our initial consultation before any plans are drawn, so there are no permitting surprises mid-project.
Planning for Single-Bathroom Homes
Many Alpharetta homes, like townhomes near Avalon and older single-family homes in the North Point area, have only one full bathroom. If that's your situation, the construction sequence matters as much as the design. We plan carefully around keeping the home functional during renovation, coordinating inspections to minimize downtime, and communicating clearly about any periods when the bathroom will be fully out of service.
HOA & ARC Requirements in Alpharetta Communities
Alpharetta's established neighborhoods, particularly in communities around Windward, Webb Bridge Road, North Point, and the Avalon corridor, often have active HOAs with architectural review committees that can affect even interior remodeling projects. Dumpster placement, delivery hours, parking logistics, and job site appearance during construction may all require advance coordination. We've worked in these neighborhoods and know how to plan around their requirements without slowing down your project.
Design That Fits the Home
Alpharetta's housing stock ranges from traditional brick colonials in Windward to contemporary townhomes near Downtown Alpharetta to newer construction in the Halcyon area. The best bathroom remodels feel connected to the home's overall character. We design with your home's architecture, your existing finishes, and your household's daily patterns in mind.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Process in Alpharetta
Our process is built to eliminate the two most common complaints Alpharetta homeowners have about remodeling contractors: not knowing what's happening and unexpected costs. Here's how a bathroom remodel with Grand Home Design works:
-
We meet at your home to assess the space, understand your goals, and establish a realistic budget range. We ask about must-haves, lifestyle priorities, and whether there are any constraints like a single-bathroom home where the work sequence matters a lot.
-
We develop a full layout, tile selections, fixture specifications, and lighting plan, all presented in 3D so you can visualize the finished bathroom before anything is ordered. You approve every detail before we proceed.
-
You receive a written proposal with line-item pricing. You'll see what you're paying for tile, labor, fixtures, permits, and everything else. We check material lead times before setting your start date so there are no schedule surprises.
-
Demo, waterproofing, rough trades, tile, finish work, all managed in a logical sequence with dust barriers and daily cleanup. You receive weekly updates, and any changes require a written change order with cost and schedule impact before work proceeds.
-
We handle all required inspections and walk through the completed bathroom with you before closing out the project. Every detail (grout lines, caulk joints, fixture function, door clearances, etc.) gets reviewed. We don't consider a project done until you do.
How Much Does Bathroom Remodeling Cost in Alpharetta, GA?
Bathroom remodeling costs in Alpharetta typically range from $8,000 to $40,000+, depending on the size of the bathroom, scope of work, and material selections.
Here's a realistic breakdown to help you plan:
Cosmetic Refresh: $8,000–$15,000 (new vanity, fixtures, tile surround, lighting - no layout changes or structural work)
Mid-range full remodel: $15,000–$28,000 (custom tile shower, new vanity, updated plumbing fixtures, lighting, flooring, and ventilation)
Master Bath Remodel: $28,000–$45,000+ (walk-in shower with frameless glass, freestanding tub, double vanity, heated floors, full layout redesign)
High-end Master Bath: $45,000+ (custom cabinetry, premium tile, smart fixtures, steam shower, full structural or layout changes)
The most reliable way to understand what your specific bathroom will cost is a design consultation where we can assess your space, clarify your goals, and build a quote from a plan. We provide line-item pricing so every dollar is accounted for.
If your goals and your budget don't align perfectly, we'll let you know and offer new options. That might mean phasing the project, making different material selections, or adjusting the scope. We'd rather have that conversation early than have you feel surprised at the end.

We know your project is important, that’s why choosing the right contractor for the job is essential. We want you to be confident in working with us, so we hope to answer any questions or concerns upfront. If you have a question not answered below, feel free to reach out!
-
Most bathroom remodels take 3–6 weeks of active construction after design and material ordering. The full timeline from initial consultation through design, selections, permitting, and build typically runs 2–4 months. Custom tile, specialty fixtures, and frameless glass enclosures have the longest lead times, so we check these before locking in your schedule to make sure there are no mid-project delays.
-
Any work involving electrical, plumbing, or structural changes requires a permit in the City of Alpharetta and surrounding jurisdictions. Purely cosmetic work, like replacing a vanity top or light fixture, typically does not. Grand Home Designs handles all permit applications and required inspections as part of every project, and we confirm your specific jurisdiction early since some Alpharetta addresses fall under City of Milton or Fulton County rather than City of Alpharetta permit offices.
-
Yes, in most cases. We set up dust barriers, maintain a clean job site, and sequence work to minimize disruption. For single-bathroom homes, we pay particular attention to keeping you functional during construction. We'll discuss the specific plan during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect on the days when the bathroom is out of service.
-
Yes, tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most common bathroom remodeling requests we receive in Alpharetta. We handle the full scope: reconfiguring the drain, setting a new shower pan or linear drain, waterproofing, tile, and frameless glass or door installation. One thing to consider: if your home has only one tub, removing it can affect resale value for buyers with young children. We'll walk through that trade-off with you if it's relevant to your situation.
-
The terms are often used interchangeably, but a renovation typically refers to restoring or updating existing elements, like replacing fixtures or retiling, while a remodel can involve changing the layout, moving walls, or reconfiguring the plumbing. Grand Home Designs handles both, and many projects combine elements of each. We'll help you figure out what scope actually makes sense for your goals and budget during the consultation.
