Bathroom remodeling, one crew start to finish.
Worried the job will drag on while everyone waits on the plumber? That won't happen here. The plumber, the electrician, and the tile setter all work for us. We hold the plumbing license ourselves, so the wiring and the pipes go in the same day. Your bathroom keeps moving instead of stalling between trades.
A powder room or the whole master suite
A guest powder room (1-2 weeks, no structural work) gets the same care as a full master suite (4-8 weeks, walk-in shower, double vanity, top-tier fixtures). In between sit hall full baths (3-4 weeks) and standalone tub-to-shower or walk-in shower jobs (1-3 weeks). Whatever the size, it's the same crew, the same written contract, and the same standard.
Licensed plumbing in-house - no second contractor
A bathroom packs more plumbing into a small footprint than any other room - drain, vent, supply, and every fixture all have to line up. Because we hold the Virginia plumbing license ourselves, you don't have a second contractor in the mix and your schedule never hangs on a sub's calendar. Electrical and plumbing rough in on the same day, by the same crew.
The part you never see, done right
Every shower and wet area gets the Schluter Kerdi membrane system behind the tile. You'll never see it once the job is done, but it's what decides whether your bathroom holds up for 20 years or rots out in 5. We don't shortcut it - the waterproofing is the difference between tile that lasts and tile that fails.
Which bathroom are you remodeling?
A small powder room or the whole master suite gets the same care from us. The only real difference is how much there is to do. Pick the one that sounds like yours. You'll see what's involved, what it tends to cost, and what the work looks like day to day.
Full Bathroom Remodel
Layout changes, new plumbing, new electrical, new fixtures, new tile, new vanity, new everything. Typical scope: 3-6 weeks, $15K-$30K mid-range, $35K+ upper-tier. Most NoVA full bathroom remodels include relocating the toilet or vanity, upgrading to a walk-in shower, adding a GFCI receptacle near the vanity, and upgrading the exhaust fan.
Master Bathroom Remodel
Master suite bathrooms with both shower AND tub (or freestanding tub + walk-in shower configuration). Typical scope: 4-8 weeks, $25K-$50K mid-range, $60K+ upper-tier. Adds: double vanity, top-tier fixtures (Kohler / Hansgrohe / Toto), often radiant heated floors, sometimes heated towel bars. Plumbing scope larger than a standard full bath.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting an existing tub footprint to a walk-in shower. Typical scope: 1-2 weeks, $6K-$15K. Standalone scope - no layout changes elsewhere in the bath. Common request for aging-in-place and for homeowners who never use the tub. May require subfloor work for curbless drain placement.
Walk-In Shower Installation
New walk-in shower installs - curbless (aging-in-place, requires lowered subfloor for drainage) or traditional curbed (lower-cost, standard install). Typical scope: 1-3 weeks. Includes Schluter Kerdi waterproofing, tile floor + walls, glass enclosure coordination, drain placement, and plumbing trim.
Powder Room Remodel
Half-bath / powder room remodels - typically just plumbing + vanity + finishes, no structural changes. Typical scope: 1-2 weeks, $5K-$12K. The fastest, lowest-disruption Remodeling project we do. Often paired with a kitchen refresh or basement finish to share construction overhead.
Bathroom projects across Northern Virginia
What your bathroom remodel actually looks like
It's the same four steps as every Anson job. A bathroom just packs in more plumbing, and the waterproofing has to be right, so we keep a close eye on the order of things. One crew runs the wiring and the pipes, often roughing both in the same day. One project manager stays with you from the first walk-through to the last fix on the list, so you always know who to call.
Free consultation (60-90 minutes)
We walk the space, talk through what you want, and discuss layout changes (toilet relocation, vanity wall move, walk-in shower conversion), fixture preferences, and tile budget tier. No high-pressure design pitches.

Questions homeowners ask about bathroom remodels
The things people most want to know before they start - how long it takes, what it runs, and who's actually doing the work. Here are straight answers.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Full bathroom remodel: 3-6 weeks from demo to walkthrough. Master bathroom: 4-8 weeks (larger scope, more tile). Powder room: 1-2 weeks (no structural changes). Tub-to-shower conversion: 1-2 weeks. Walk-in shower install: 1-3 weeks depending on curbless vs. curbed. Permit lead times can add 1-4 weeks before work starts.
The schedule variables that matter most: tile scope (large-format and herringbone patterns add days), fixture lead times (name-brand Kohler / Hansgrohe / Toto fixtures can run 4-8 weeks for delivery), and permit timing (Prince William and Fairfax typically move faster than Loudoun and Arlington). The actual on-site work runs about 3-6 weeks for a typical full bathroom. We give you a written schedule with milestones during the proposal phase. Master bathrooms run longer because the tile area is larger and the fixture count is higher.
What does a bathroom remodel cost in Northern Virginia?
Powder room: $5K-$12K. Hall full bathroom: $15K-$30K mid-range. Master bathroom: $25K-$50K mid-range, $60K-$100K+ upper-tier. Tub-to-shower conversion: $6K-$15K. Walk-in shower install: $8K-$20K. Costs scale with tile area + fixture tier + cabinet/vanity tier + structural changes (toilet/vanity relocation, walls). We give you a written proposal with schedule of values during consultation.
The variables: (1) tile area + tile tier (basic porcelain $5-10/sqft, upper-tier $15-30+/sqft), (2) vanity tier (off-the-shelf $500-$2K, custom $3K-$8K+), (3) fixture tier (Moen / Delta = $500-$2K total, Kohler / Hansgrohe / Toto = $2K-$8K+), (4) layout changes (moving plumbing locations adds significantly), (5) waterproofing system (we use Schluter Kerdi as standard - top-grade - included). Most NoVA homeowners are surprised by the total cost - bathrooms are deceptively expensive because the work is fixture-dense.
Do you do the plumbing yourselves or do you sub it out?
We do plumbing in-house as of 2026. Anson holds Master Electrician + Class B Builder + Virginia plumbing licenses - all three trades. Bathroom plumbing rough-in (drain + vent + supply + fixture placement) is our crew. Electrical scope (GFCI outlets, vanity lighting, exhaust fan, optional radiant heated floors) is our crew. No subbed plumber, no schedule risk from a sub's availability.
The plumbing license acquisition was driven specifically by the bathroom + kitchen coordination problem - these are the two Remodeling categories where waiting on a plumbing sub causes the most delays. Before 2026, our bathroom remodels relied on trusted NoVA plumbing subs (capable plumbers, but bound by their schedules). Now we sequence ourselves. Electrical and plumbing rough-in synchronized to the same day. This is the single most-common bathroom-remodel pain point - solved at the company level by holding the third license.
How do you handle waterproofing in showers and wet areas?
Schluter Kerdi membrane system is our standard for shower walls, shower floors, and tub surrounds. Schluter is the leading residential tile-substrate waterproofing system - designed for tile-direct application, lifetime-rated when properly installed. We don't use plastic sheeting or tar paper on substrate - both fail within 5-10 years and ruin tile work. Waterproofing is invisible after tile but determines whether your bathroom lasts 5 years or 25.
The full waterproofing scope on a typical bathroom: (1) Schluter Kerdi on shower walls and floor, (2) cement-board backing instead of green-board drywall in wet areas, (3) RedGard liquid waterproofing around tubs and behind toilets, (4) proper slope to drain on shower floors (1/4 inch per foot), (5) waterproof penetrations at every plumbing rough-in (Schluter Kerdi-Seal at every supply and drain through-wall). Some remodelers cut waterproofing to hit a budget number - we don't, because waterproofing failures show up as tile failure 3-5 years later when we're long gone. We treat it like it matters.
Can you do tub-to-shower conversions for aging-in-place?
Yes - tub-to-shower conversion is a common request from aging homeowners. Walk-in showers (especially curbless walk-in showers) are safer than tubs and accommodate eventual mobility aids. Typical scope: 1-2 weeks, $6K-$15K depending on whether the conversion is curbed (simpler, lower cost) or curbless (subfloor lowered for level entry, more complex install, aging-in-place gold standard).
Aging-in-place-adjacent considerations we cover: grab bar blocking in shower walls (reinforced framing during rough-in so grab bars can be installed later without finding studs), non-slip tile on shower floors, handheld shower head option, and bench seating integrated into shower walls if requested. We coordinate with the existing bathroom layout - sometimes the conversion is just the tub-footprint swap, sometimes it requires bumping out adjacent wall space. See our Specialty Spaces sub-hub for the dedicated Aging-in-Place spoke. Basement bathroom additions are covered under Basements.
What homeowners often roll in while we're there
If you've been putting off a kitchen, a basement bathroom, or a few aging-in-place changes, this is a good time to fold them in. One crew, one set of permits, and a lot less disruption than booking each job on its own.
