step1
Permits
We start by confirming scope, drawings, and permit requirements with local jurisdictions. Permit approval is not paperwork for show: it protects your investment and resale value.
Bathroom Remodeling in Las Vegas, NV
Bathroom remodeling in Las Vegas requires a different level of planning than many other markets. Homes across Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, Spring Valley, Enterprise, and wider Clark County can vary significantly in plumbing layout, slab conditions, framing tolerances, and previous renovation history. In older neighborhoods, we regularly uncover improvised drain connections, failed pan liners, and shower walls that were never properly waterproofed.
In newer master-planned communities, finish expectations are high, but permit requirements, HOA constraints, and inspection sequencing still need disciplined coordination before demolition begins. Big Horn Remodeling approaches each project with field verification first: we check plumbing location and venting strategy, confirm substrate condition, map tile layout, and align scope with code and inspection requirements. That upfront work matters in a slab-on-grade city where slope, drainage, and waterproofing details determine whether a bathroom performs well for years or fails early. From walk-in shower conversions to full primary bath rebuilds, we focus on durable assemblies, clean installation standards, and transparent communication so your project stays controlled from planning through final walkthrough. We also coordinate around jurisdiction-specific review paths that affect timeline and scope, including City of Las Vegas and county-level expectations. By treating plumbing, waterproofing, and finish quality as one connected system instead of separate trades, we reduce inspection issues, protect adjacent rooms from moisture risk, and keep craftsmanship consistent across every phase. The objective is simple: deliver a bathroom that feels custom, functions properly every day, and is built to hold up in Nevada homes.
step2
Waterproofing
We install manufacturer-approved waterproofing systems and detail transitions at curbs, niches, and corners to create a continuous moisture barrier behind tile.
step3
Water Testing
Flood testing reveals leaks or weak points before finish materials are installed, ensuring reliable drainage and long-term performance instead of hidden future damage.
step4
Precision
Precise tile layout, slope control, and fixture placement deliver a code-ready professional finish that looks clean and performs reliably every day.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Process: Steps to a Successful, Long Lasting Shower
These are the steps to a bathroom that performs for the long term. We regularly repair failed showers where one or more of these controls were skipped, costing homeowners thousands in avoidable rework. Don't become another example: choose us for a process that gets it right.

This Is Why We're The Trusted Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
Bathroom remodeling projects in Las Vegas require more than good design choices. The work needs a contractor who can coordinate permits, inspection timing, plumbing scope, and waterproofing standards without losing control of budget and schedule. Big Horn Remodeling manages that process end-to-end, from pre-construction planning through final walkthrough, with clear communication at each phase. We document scope, verify hidden conditions early, and align field execution with local code so your finished bathroom is both visually consistent and technically sound.

Trusted remodeling service
Permitted, Inspected, Documented
We pull a Clark County permit on every bathroom remodel. Bathrooms hide plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing behind tile and drywall - work you cannot inspect after the fact. The permit requires a licensed third-party inspector to verify the rough plumbing and final tie-ins before anything gets closed up, so a slow leak in the wall is not your problem to discover two years later.
Bonded Waterproofing Membrane
Every tile shower we build uses a fully bonded waterproofing system (Schluter Kerdi or equivalent) behind the tile, with a proper pre-sloped pan and waterproofed curb. Done right, the membrane - not the tile and grout - is what keeps water out of your framing.
New Valves, New Supply Lines, Code-Compliant
When the wall is open, we replace the supply lines, shutoffs, and shower valve - including pressure-balanced or thermostatic mixing valves that prevent scalding (required by current Nevada code). We do not trust 30-year-old galvanized stub-outs to last another decade behind brand new tile.
Full Tear-Out, Subfloor & Framing Inspected
After demo, we inspect the subfloor, framing, and existing stub-outs for rot and damage before any new work begins. In Las Vegas homes built before the 2000s, slow leaks from old toilets, tub overflows, and failed shower pans regularly destroy the subfloor underneath - damage only visible once the old tile is up. We document it, remediate it, and give you the photos as part of the project.
Nevada-Licensed Trades for Trade Work
Plumbing and electrical work in Nevada legally requires C-1 (plumbing) and C-2 (electrical) licensed contractors. Every Big Horn bathroom remodel uses Nevada-licensed, insured plumbers and electricians - not handymen - for the work that gets sealed inside your walls. The license number goes on the permit and on your file.
Documented Progress and Photo Records
We provide documented progress checkpoints and field photos at key stages, including rough-in verification, waterproofing completion, and pre-finish review. That record keeps decisions transparent and gives homeowners a clear reference of what is behind the finished tile and drywall.
Competitors
Inferior remodeling service
Unpermitted Bathroom Work
Most Las Vegas bathroom remodels are done without a permit to save a few hundred dollars and a few days of inspection scheduling. The catch: bathroom remodels with plumbing changes are legally required to be permitted in Clark County, and skipping the rough plumbing inspection means code violations and concealed leaks do not surface until they show up on the ceiling below - or kill an appraisal when you sell.
Tile Over Cement Board, No Membrane
The most common bathroom remodel failure in Las Vegas is not a burst pipe - it is water wicking through grout, soaking the framing, and rotting the wall over 2 to 3 years until drywall starts to sag or mold smells appear. Tile over bare cement board with no membrane fails this way every time.
New Fixtures Bolted to Old Corroded Pipes
Many Las Vegas homes built before the late 1990s have galvanized supply lines that are already corroding from the inside. Connecting new chrome fixtures to rotting steel pipe buys a few years before a pinhole leak forces the same wall to come apart again - and the homeowner pays twice.
New Tile Over Rotted Subfloor & Framing
Most contractors are paid to install a new bathroom, not to find problems that blow up their bid. Old tile comes up, new tile goes down, and rotted plywood or warped framing underneath gets buried under your remodel. When that rot finally fails, the new tile cracks, the floor feels spongy, and the bathroom that should have lasted 20 years has to be torn out in a second full renovation.
Handymen Running Licensed Trade Work
Many remodelers cut costs by having an unlicensed lead carpenter run new water lines, set shower valves, or wire bath fans and recessed lighting. It saves the contractor money. It can also void your homeowners insurance if a future leak or fire is traced to unlicensed work, and it is a direct violation of Nevada State Contractors Board rules.

Design and Installation
We build your bathroom plan around layout efficiency, fixture placement, and long-term maintenance. Our team guides finish and material selections, then installs each component to match approved plans and code requirements.
Plumbing
Our licensed plumbing scope covers drains, valves, supply lines, and fixture connections for showers, tubs, toilets, and vanities. We verify alignment, flow, and leak protection before walls and tile are closed.
Tile Installation
Our tile crews install ceramic, porcelain, and stone with controlled layout lines, consistent spacing, and proper slope transitions in wet areas. The result is finish work that looks sharp and performs reliably under daily use.
Bathroom Permits and Code Compliance Showers
In bathroom remodeling, visual design should never come at the expense of performance. A properly built shower depends on correct slope, accurate drain placement, and full waterproof continuity behind tile. We target the drainage standards inspectors look for, including controlled pitch to move water efficiently toward the drain and away from framing.
Permit and inspection checkpoints matter because they verify the hidden work behind the finishes: membrane continuity, plumbing rough-in quality, and safe fixture positioning.
From backer selection through membrane detailing and flood testing, we build each wet area to meet documented waterproofing standards used across Las Vegas and Clark County projects. This meticulous approach prevents water pooling, mitigates mold formation in vulnerable assemblies, and guarantees an overall comfortable shower experience.

Your Las Vegas Bathroom Remodeling Contractor Team of Specialists
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
We manage bathroom remodeling with a field-first mindset: confirm conditions, set clear production standards, and assign the right trade sequence before work begins. This reduces delays and protects finish quality across demolition, rough-in, waterproofing, tile, and fixture installation.
We are committed to
clear communication
and accountable execution.
You always know who is responsible for scope, timeline, and final quality review, so decisions are documented and project expectations stay aligned from start to finish.
Elevating Tile Alignment From Scope to Standard
Tile accuracy is one of the clearest indicators of whether a bathroom was built correctly. Uneven lines, inconsistent joints, or poor slope transitions are not only visual defects; they can signal deeper waterproofing and drainage problems. Our crews set control lines early, check substrate flatness, and verify slope where required before finish tile is installed. That process supports cleaner inspection outcomes, better drainage behavior, and a bathroom that still looks sharp years after completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Las Vegas?
Bathroom remodel pricing in Las Vegas depends on the bathroom size, existing layout, shower scope, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, tile, glass, vanity, finish selections, and permit requirements. A straightforward hall bathroom usually costs less than a primary bathroom with a custom tile shower, double vanity, freestanding tub, or layout changes.

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Clark County?
Yes - any plumbing or electrical work, structural changes, or moving fixtures requires a permit through Clark County Department of Building & Fire Prevention or the City of Las Vegas, depending on jurisdiction. Cosmetic-only changes (paint, vanity swap with no plumbing change) do not. Most contractors skip bathroom permits because the homeowner does not ask. We pull every permit because the inspector validates the plumbing rough-in before the tile goes on the wall - and that inspection is exactly what protects you from a $15,000 leak in five years. For permit timelines and after-the-fact scenarios, see our retroactive permits page.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Walk-in shower remodels take 2-4 weeks, guest baths 3-5 weeks, and master baths 4-8 weeks. Permit approval through Clark County or the City of Las Vegas adds 1-2 weeks before demo can start, and special-order tile or fixtures can add another 1-3 weeks of lead time. We schedule the entire job from demo through final walkthrough on day one, so you know exactly when each milestone - rough-in, inspection, tile, trim, final - hits.
What waterproofing system do you use behind shower walls?
We use Schluter Kerdi or equivalent ANSI A118.10 sheet-membrane systems, installed with thin-set per manufacturer spec on every wet wall, curb, and bench. We do not use cement board alone behind tile in wet areas. Cement board is water-resistant but not water-proof, and tile and grout are not waterproof either - the membrane is what keeps water out of your wall cavity for the next 30 years. Every shower we build comes with a written waterproofing warranty.
Are you licensed and insured to remodel bathrooms in Nevada, and where do you work?
Yes. Big Horn Remodeling LLC is NV State Contractors Board license #0091383 (B-2 General Building) with an $800,000 bid limit, general liability, workers' compensation, and a contractor's bond on file. Our license is verifiable at nscb.nv.gov. We serve Las Vegas,Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Centennial Hills, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Paradise, Sunrise Manor, and Boulder City - anywhere in Clark County. All plumbing rough-in is performed by an NV-licensed C-1 plumber and all electrical by a C-2 electrician. If you are planning a combined renovation, review our kitchen remodeling service.
Do you offer financing for bathroom remodels?
We accept cash, check, and credit card. Many homeowners use home-equity financing through their lender.
