Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Selma
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Selma generally fall into two camps: those that quote from photos over the phone, and those that walk the room, open the wall, and give you a number that survives contact with reality. We’re the second kind. Selma’s older homes near the downtown corridor, especially the 1950s and 1960s builds, carry cast-iron drain lines and undersized 1.5-inch or 2-inch vent stacks. A reputable company accounts for that before quoting, not after demo day.
What the Work Actually Involves
A Selma bathroom remodel starts with demolition down to the studs, which almost always reveals what the original builder hid. From there we re-vent and re-pipe as needed, set the tub or shower pan, waterproof, tile, and finish with fixtures. The price range for a standard full remodel sits at $9,000 – $28,000.
When You Need More Than a Cosmetic Refresh
If your Selma bathroom has a lingering drain smell, slow tub or sink drainage, or tiles that have cracked along the floor, the issue is probably beneath the surface. That’s when a cosmetic refresh turns into a real renovation, and when having a company that pulls permits and schedules inspections for the rough-in saves you from opening walls twice.
Bathroom Renovation in Selma
Bathroom Renovation in Selma means something specific: you’re not just swapping finishes, you’re changing how the room functions. That could be converting a tub to a walk-in shower, moving a vanity to steal a foot of floor space, or fixing the plumbing mistakes a previous flip left behind. Selma homeowners call us when the room they have no longer matches how their household actually uses it.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions and Walk-In Showers
Selma’s ranch-style and bungalow homes often have a single hall bath with an original tub. Converting that tub to a walk-in shower runs $3,500 – $10,000 in Selma, and it’s one of the most frequent renovations we do. The job includes demolishing the tub, re-shaping the drain, waterproofing, and installing a shower valve to current code.
Vanity, Tile, and Fixture Work
When the footprint stays the same but everything on top of it changes, the work is faster and more budget-contained. Vanity installation runs $800 – $3,000, and full tile replacement falls under the small bathroom remodel range of $5,000 – $12,000. The key is written allowances on vanity, countertop, and fixture lines, so the number you approved is the number on the invoice.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
We stock and install fixtures and surfaces from brands Selma homeowners actually ask for. KraftMaid cabinetry, Kohler and Toto fixtures, and Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops. Our supply runs through the Fresno office, which means fewer delivery delays and a faster turnaround on the selections you’ve made. If you’ve been looking at a specific Silestone color or a Grohe shower system, we can source it and write it into the estimate before work starts.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Cast-iron drains that have rotted from the inside. They look fine until demolition starts, then you see the scaling and pinhole leaks hiding under the floor. On Selma’s older stock, we plan for replacement, not just repair.
- Undersized vent stacks that fail inspection. A 1.5-inch vent on a modern shower and toilet group won’t pass today’s code in Selma. Re-venting the fixture group has to happen before walls close, and it’s a permit line-item, not an afterthought.
- Tub surrounds with waterproofing that was never there. The 1960s and 1970s in Selma produced plenty of green board behind tile, which holds water like a sponge. By the time the grout cracks, the damage is already done behind the wall.
- Contractors bidding from photos and then writing change orders. The three big change orders in Selma remodels are rot repair, plumbing surprises, and upgrades to the finishes you actually wanted from the start. We write those allowances into the estimate up front.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Selma
Yes, if you’re touching plumbing, electrical, or structural elements. In Selma, even a same-layout remodel that involves replacing a shower valve or moving a drain requires a plumbing permit and a rough-in inspection before the walls close. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the sign-off. Skipping the permit to save a few hundred dollars can cost you thousands at resale when a buyer’s lender or the city requires walls to be opened again. Call (254) 272-5876 to talk through what your specific project triggers.
Because the bidder priced the job from a photo instead of opening the wall. Selma’s older homes hide cast-iron drain lines, undersized vent stacks, and rot beneath the tub. When that’s uncovered, the “change order” is the real cost correcting itself. We handle this by including written allowances for plumbing, rot repair, and finish selections before work starts, so the number that lands on your invoice is the number you already saw. The only legitimate variable is damage no one can see until the tub is out.
A full bathroom remodel in Selma runs three to five weeks from demo to final walkthrough, depending on scope. The permit and rough-in inspection sequence adds a day or two at the midway point, and material lead times on custom cabinetry or specialty tile can stretch the calendar further. We give you a written schedule with the estimate, and The Relay Visibility Guarantee includes photo updates so you can follow progress without calling to chase answers.
We write the countertop allowance, the vanity allowance, and the fixture allowance as separate, named line-items before work starts. If you want a Cambria top rather than a basic laminate, the difference is visible in writing before you sign, not discovered as a change order after demo. For Selma projects, a vanity install runs $800 – $3,000, and premium surfaces like Cambria or Silestone move the top end of that range. Pick your finish once, approve it, and the price stays fixed.
We use a structured draw schedule tied to job milestones, not a full payment upfront. Your contract spells out what percentage is due at signing, what’s due at rough-in, and what’s due at final walkthrough. The punch list is part of the same agreement: we walk the finished bathroom with you, list anything outstanding, and The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers it in writing for a full year. Call (254) 272-5876 to schedule a free estimate and see exactly how the numbers break down for your Selma bathroom.
