Nampa, ID · Showers, tile, primary suites
Nampa Bathroom Remodeling Co. takes tired bathrooms down to the studs and rebuilds them as calm, bright rooms: walk-in showers in real tile, freestanding tubs, floating vanities and lighting that flatters the mirror. We plan each one around how you use it, then build it with our own crew.
01·Finished bathrooms
Seven kinds of bathrooms we design and build. Each one started as a measured floor plan and a box of tile samples on a kitchen table.
02·Tile
Tile decides most of how a bathroom feels. These are the three we set most often, and each one suits a different kind of room.
Shower wallsGlazed clay tile with uneven edges and color that shifts from piece to piece. It catches light like water does. Each tile sits a little differently, so it takes a patient setter. We think the slightly uneven wall is the reason to choose it.
Fewer grout linesBig slabs of stone-look porcelain, often 24 by 48 inches, so a shower wall has only a few joints to clean. Porcelain absorbs very little water. Large tiles need a very flat wall and floor, so prep takes longer than the setting.
FloorsMarble or porcelain planks laid in a zigzag. It makes a small floor look deliberate and a long one look longer. Every edge tile gets cut by hand, so a herringbone floor costs more labor than a straight lay.
03·The remodel
Most of the work you never see happens behind the tile. The process page walks through each stage in more detail.
01We measure the room, find the drain, the supply lines and the vent, and ask how the room gets used: who showers, who wants a bath, what never has a place to go.
02A floor plan, tile and fixture samples you can hold in your own light, and a written price that lists every line before anything comes out.
03Down to the studs, then new valves, drains and wiring where the plan needs them. Plumbing and electrical go through licensed trades and city inspection.
04Every wet wall and the shower floor get a continuous waterproofing membrane, sloped to the drain. Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own.
05Layout lines first, so cut tiles land where nobody looks and grout lines run straight from floor to ceiling.
06Grout, sealer, then the glass is measured to the finished tile. Vanity, mirror, lights and trim go in last.
These are typical ranges, not promises. Primary suites, custom vanities and special-order tile stretch the schedule. Your dates go in writing once the plan is approved.
04·Finishes
Fixtures and finishes look different on a phone screen than in a north-facing bathroom at 7 a.m. We bring real samples.
Tile, stone and handle samples before anything is orderedThe finish choice people go back and forth on most is the metal.
Brushed nickel hides water spots and fingerprints better than polished chrome, which matters in a valley where the tap water is moderately hard. It reads warm next to oak and soft gray-green tile.
Matte black gives a crisp outline against pale tile and white oak. It shows dried water drops more than brushed finishes do, so it suits a bathroom where someone wipes down the fixtures.
Wood vanities in white oak or walnut bring warmth to a room that is otherwise tile and glass. A floating vanity leaves the floor visible underneath, which makes a small room feel larger.
Then there's the light at the mirror. A sconce on each side lights a face evenly, while a single bar above it casts shadows under the eyes.
05·What to look for
We are a new listing and have no reviews to show you yet. What you can judge on any bathroom contractor's bid, including ours, is what goes behind the tile.
Clear answers to those tell you more about a contractor than a photo gallery does, and that includes ours.
06·What we remodel
Primary suites and walk-in showers are most of what we do. Each of the other rooms has its own page with what it involves and what it costs.
01 Full gut-and-rebuild of the main suite: tub, shower, vanity, tile, lighting and ventilation, planned as one room.
See the service 02 Curbless and low-curb tiled showers with a sloped pan, linear or center drain, niches and fixed or hinged glass.
See the service 03 The old tub and surround come out, and a tiled walk-in shower goes into the same footprint, often with a bench.
See the service 04 Hall baths, kids' baths and powder rooms: new vanity, tile, toilet and lighting, usually without moving the plumbing.

05 Curbless entries, blocking for grab bars, seats, handheld showers and wider clear space, designed to look calm, not clinical.
See the service07·Water and glass
Treasure Valley tap water carries minerals that show up on shower glass and fixtures. You can plan for that when you choose finishes.
The City of Nampa's 2025 water quality report puts city water hardness anywhere from none to 7.08 grains per gallon, depending on the source. On the scale printed in that same report, 3.5 to 7.0 counts as moderately hard and 7.0 to 10.5 as hard.
The city's report notes that hard water can leave residue on glassware and plumbing fixtures, though it is not a health hazard, and that vinegar or store-bought mineral removers prevent and remove the buildup. On a glass shower panel that residue shows up as spots and a dull film.
Clear glass shows everything, so we talk through the options before ordering it: a factory-applied glass coating, a squeegee kept on a hook inside the shower, brushed finishes instead of polished ones, and fewer glass panels when a half wall or a doorless layout works.
The dry climate helps in one way. The city's Quick Facts list average afternoon humidity at 44%, so a bathroom dries quickly once a properly ducted exhaust fan pulls the steam out. Homes on private wells outside city service can have very different water. A simple hardness test before you choose glass and fixtures is worth the few dollars.
08·Nampa homes
Nampa's housing is young, and that is exactly why so many bathrooms here are ready for a remodel now.
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020–2024 estimates) counts about 40,500 housing units in Nampa, with a median year built of 2000. About 7,200 were built in the 1990s and 11,300 in the 2000s, so roughly 46% of the city's homes date from those two decades. Another 10,500 or so were built before 1980, mostly in the older neighborhoods closer to downtown.
Bathrooms in those 1990s and 2000s houses tend to share a few things: a one-piece fiberglass tub and shower unit, a cultured marble vanity top with an integrated bowl, a light bar over a builder-grade mirror and a small, noisy fan. Twenty-five years on, the fiberglass is dull, the caulk has failed and the fan never moved enough air.
The good news is that the plumbing in those homes usually sits where it should, so many remodels keep the same layout and spend the money on tile, glass and fixtures instead of moving drains.

09·Rules that apply
Four things that decide who can do which part of a bathroom remodel in Nampa, and what has to be inspected.
The City of Nampa's residential FAQ says paint, floor coverings, cabinets, countertops and wall coverings don't need a permit. A permit is required when a project removes wall coverings to expose the framing, builds a wall, or relocates sinks, tubs, showers or toilets. Most full remodels fall on the permit side of that line.
Per the city's trade permit page, plumbing piping and drainage work needs a plumbing permit from the City of Nampa Building Department and has to be installed by a state-licensed journeyman plumber employed by an Idaho-licensed plumbing contractor. Electrical wiring works the same way: a city electrical permit, and a state-licensed journeyman electrician employed by a state-licensed electrical contractor.
Anyone taking on a construction job over $2,000 must register with the Idaho Contractors Board, part of the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, unless exempt. The same FAQ says a general contractor must give a homeowner a disclosure statement before signing a residential contract over $2,000. You can look up any registration online.
About a quarter of Nampa's homes were built before 1980. The EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule covers paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978, so tearing out a painted bathroom in an older house needs an EPA-certified firm and lead-safe work practices.

11·Service area
All of Nampa, then Caldwell along I-84 and Middleton and Star up on State Highway 44.
Inside Nampa we work everywhere from the older streets around downtown and the Downtown Historic District to the subdivisions built out toward Lake Lowell, Midland Boulevard and the I-84 corridor. Every visit happens at your house: we measure there, bring samples there and build there.
12·Getting a price
Call (208) 907-3830 or use the callback form. We'll ask which bathroom, roughly how big, whether you want a tub, a shower or both, and the year the house was built.
Then we come out to measure, look at the floor, the walls and the fan, and talk through layouts and tile. The written price lists demolition, plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile, glass, vanity, fixtures and permits as separate lines, plus anything we are leaving out.

Short answers. If your bathroom is the odd one out, call and describe it.
National cost guides put a professional bathroom remodel at about $6,651 to $17,660 (Angi), and HomeGuide lists $15,000 to $30,000 for a mid-grade primary bathroom of about 100 square feet. A suite with a tiled walk-in shower and a freestanding tub sits toward the top. We give a written price after measuring the room and narrowing down tile and fixtures.
Often, yes. The City of Nampa's residential FAQ says paint, flooring, cabinets and countertops don't need a permit, but one is required when walls are opened to the framing, a wall is built, or sinks, tubs, showers or toilets are moved. Plumbing and electrical work each need their own permit from the city.
The City of Nampa's 2025 water quality report puts hardness anywhere from none up to 7.08 grains per gallon, the top of the moderately hard range on the report's own scale. That is enough to leave spots on clear glass. A squeegee after each shower, a factory glass coating and brushed fixture finishes all help.
All of Nampa, plus Caldwell to the west on I-84 and Middleton and Star to the north along State Highway 44.
