Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Kentfield
A full bathroom remodel in Kentfield typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the two variables that move that number most are the condition of what’s behind the walls and how the county permit process is scheduled. That is not a guess. It is what we see weekly in homes off Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, up in Kent Woodlands, and across the flats near Murray Creek. If you are planning a walk-in shower conversion or a full gut renovation, call (803) 680-2547 and we will walk you through what your specific house will actually need before any number goes in writing.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Kentfield’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Kentfield homeowners ask different questions than people in other Marin towns, because this is unincorporated county land. Permits come from Marin County Building & Safety, not a city desk. Inspections are scheduled on county timelines. Older homes near Crown Road and Wood Lane sit on septic systems or hillside drainage that flat-lot subdivisions never deal with. We know that before we walk in the door, and our written scopes reflect it.
Our crew arrives the way every Threshold Standard technician arrives: background-checked, identity-verified, in a clean marked uniform, with a photo ID badge at the door and a name-and-photo introduction sent before the visit. That matters when you are home alone with kids or when an older parent is the one letting someone in. No unannounced subs. No crew you have never seen before. You will know exactly who is in your house and why.
Mason Remodeling has handled bathroom work in Kentfield since 2004 under the Threshold Group family of companies. Every project gets a written price before work starts, a written guarantee with plain-language terms, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something is not right within a year of completion, we fix it at no cost to you.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower in Kentfield
A Walk In Shower in Kentfield means more than swapping a tub for a pan. In homes built mid-century near Magnolia Avenue or up against the hills south of Crown Road, the real work is often structural: floors that slope, joists that were cut for old plumbing, and subfloors that never would have supported a poured pan without reinforcement. We scope that first. In Kentfield, a walk-in shower installation typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on what framing, waterproofing, and glass enclosure work the space actually requires.
Frameless Glass and Waterproofing
Frameless glass enclosures need a plumb, reinforced opening, or the glass binds and water gets where it should not. We set every opening to spec and use Schluter waterproofing systems behind tile so the shower is watertight before a single tile is cut. Your Kohler, Moen, or Grohe fixtures get mounted once the membrane is tested, not before.
When the Floor Is the Problem
We have opened more than one Kentfield hall bath and found the subfloor notched for old copper or cast-iron drains. That cannot be tiled over. We sister the joists, lay a fresh subfloor, and write every bit of it into the scope so it is priced before the first change order conversation, not after.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Kentfield
Most Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Kentfield are not local to Marin, and they quote the job like it is somewhere else. They do not budget for county plan review. They do not know that many Kentfield homes predate modern drain sizing. We do, because this is where we work every week. A standard bathroom remodel in Kentfield runs $9,000 to $28,000, and our written quote tells you what is in that number and what is not.
Written Scope, County Permits, One Calendar
We pull Marin County permits ourselves, schedule the rough-in and final inspections ourselves, and put the inspection dates on the project calendar you get before demo starts. If a subfloor issue surfaces, it becomes a written change order with a line-item price and a revised schedule, not a surprise invoice at the end.
Who Shows Up at Your Door
Every technician is introduced by name and photo before the visit. At the door they show a photo ID badge and a clean uniform. The same crew stays on your job from demo to punch list. You will not meet a rotating cast of unnamed subcontractors in your Kentfield home.
Trusted Brands We Service in Kentfield
We install and service the fixtures Kentfield homeowners actually choose: Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe plumbing; KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry; Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone surfaces. We also keep solid relationships with specification-grade material partners like Sakrete and Abodu for when a Kentfield bath needs board-up work, a curbless pan, or tile-ready substrates. That means shorter lead times on the brands you want and fewer delays waiting on product that was never going to arrive on the county’s inspection schedule anyway.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Kentfield Homes
- Notched joists and undersized subfloors. Many Kentfield bathrooms built in the 1950s and 1960s have joists cut for old plumbing runs. Tile cracks, shower bases flex, and water finds a way through. We sister framing before any finish work begins.
- County permit scheduling surprises. Unincorporated Marin means plan review and inspections run through county staff. Contractors who do not plan for that end up blaming “permits” for a slipped calendar instead of owning the schedule.
- Septic and hillside drainage constraints. Homes off College Avenue or up near Crown Road often sit on older septic lines or sloped lots. Bathroom changes can trigger additional inspection steps flat-lot remodels never face.
- Unrealistic allowance numbers. Tile, fixture, and vanity allowances set low to win a bid mean you pay overages later. Our written scopes price your actual selections up front, so the final bill matches the conversation.

What moves a Kentfield bathroom remodel from the bottom to the top of that range is what you cannot see yet: hidden framing, drain condition, septic or drainage constraints, and the finish level you select. A guest bath in a 1970s rancher with original cast iron is a different job than a primary bath in a newer Kent Woodlands build. We price the actual job, in writing, before demo starts.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Kentfield
Yes. Kentfield is in unincorporated Marin County, so bathroom remodel permits are issued and inspected by Marin County Building & Safety, not a city building department. We pull the permits, coordinate every inspection, and your written scope includes the full permit cost. Call (803) 680-2547 and we will walk you through what your specific project requires.
Three things: hidden conditions behind the walls, county plan review and inspection timelines, and the finish selections you make. Hidden framing or old drains add line items. County scheduling affects calendar, not usually price. Your Kohler, Moen, or Cambria choices set the finish budget. We show you all three in the written quote. Call (803) 680-2547 to get your numbers.
Most full bathroom remodels in Kentfield run four to seven weeks from demo to final inspection, with county permit review adding one to three weeks before work begins. We put every inspection date on your project calendar so you know exactly when to expect county sign-off. Call (803) 680-2547 for a calendar specific to your job.
Every Kentfield bathroom remodel gets a written scope that lists the exact work, materials, line-item pricing, permit fees, and a draw schedule tied to completed milestones, not dates. You will know what is included, what is excluded, and what each dollar is paying for before any tool is unpacked. Call (803) 680-2547 to review a sample scope.
Only hidden conditions that could not be seen before demo: notched joists, undersized subfloor, abandoned drains, or structural issues. Those become written change orders with line-item pricing and your sign-off before we proceed. Nothing is billed on a verbal handshake. Call (803) 680-2547 for an exact quote on your Kentfield home, free.
