Bathroom Remodeling
Baths built like hotel suites.
Designed, waterproofed and built by one team.
The smallest room, the highest tolerance for craft.
A bathroom hides its quality behind the tile. We waterproof to manufacturer spec, flood-test before setting a single sheet, and laser-level every plane so the lines land where they should.
You approve a photo-real 3D rendering and a detailed proposal before demolition, then one project manager and one crew see it through to completion.

Where we build
Bathroom Remodeling across Montgomery County and Washington, DC.
Gaithersburg
Hall baths in Washingtonian Woods and Quince Orchard tend to be tub-only with a single small window. We take them to the studs, waterproof the full wet wall to manufacturer spec, and rebuild with slab-look porcelain, a recessed niche and layered lighting so a five-by-eight room stops feeling like a closet.

Primary baths in mid-century Rockville homes are often two small original rooms and a hallway closet. Combining them gives room for a double vanity, a low-threshold shower with frameless glass and a private water closet, with old supply lines and undersized circuits replaced while the walls are open.

Primary suites in Kenwood and Glen Echo Heights usually mean borrowing space from a hallway or an under-used bedroom. We draw it in 3D first, then build with certified waterproofing, laser-leveled large-format tile and lighting detailed the way a hotel suite is, including historic review where the district requires it.

Carving a primary bath out of small original rooms is the most common request in Martin's Additions and Rollingwood. Along with the visible work, aging supply lines, limited circuits and missing insulation get addressed while the walls are open, so the finished room is comfortable as well as beautiful.

Avenel and River Falls primary suites typically run to a spa bath, two closets and a sitting area drawn as one scope. Steam showers, freestanding tubs and heated floors are common here, and every wet area is waterproofed as a full system before tile is set.

Four Corners and Forest Glen baths are small and dated rather than badly built. Taken to the studs, they support a larger shower with minimal grout lines, painted maple cabinetry sized to the room, and lighting planned in layers instead of a single fixture over the mirror.

The standard Germantown primary bath gives an oversized corner tub nobody uses and a shower too small to enjoy. Swapping that for a large tiled shower and a vanity with real storage is the most common change we make, plumbing and waterproofing included.

Primary baths in the Willows of Potomac usually pair a corner tub with a cramped shower. Rebuilt, the same footprint holds a larger shower with frameless glass, a double vanity and a linen wall, with waterproofing installed as a complete system.

Converting a first-floor room into a primary suite is a frequent Olney request, and it works within the existing footprint more often than owners expect. Each one starts with a feasibility review of structure and plumbing before the design goes far.

Bathrooms in Cleveland Park, Tenleytown and AU Park often sit above original plumbing stacks with no easy access. We plan the rough-in around what the house allows, permit through DOB, and coordinate HPRB review where the property sits inside a historic district.

Bathroom questions, answered.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Active construction typically runs three to six weeks, depending on scope. A full gut renovation with plumbing or layout changes takes longer. We provide a detailed schedule before construction begins so you know each phase in advance.
Do I need permits for a bathroom remodel?
Most full bathroom remodels require building and electrical permits through Maryland and Washington DC, and any plumbing changes go through WSSC. We manage the entire permitting process, applications, scheduling, and inspections as part of our service.
Can we use the bathroom during construction?
If you have more than one bathroom, most homeowners keep using the others with no issue. For single-bathroom homes, we work with you to plan around the disruption and keep the timeline as tight as possible. We use dust control and daily cleanup to protect the rest of your home throughout.
Does AC Remodeling take on partial bathroom projects?
No, we focus exclusively on full-scope design-build bathroom transformations, not minor cosmetic updates like vanity swaps or shower fixes. Handling the entire process ensures total quality control and a fully, 100% waterproof build.
