Bathroom Remodeling in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Bathroom remodels range from a cosmetic refresh (vanity, fixtures, paint) to a tub-to-shower conversion to a full gut down to the studs. The scope decides who you need: a general contractor coordinates carpentry, tile, plumbing and electrical, and the plumbing and electrical must be done by licensed trades.
Older Metro Detroit homes bring surprises behind the walls: galvanized or cast iron drain lines, plaster over lath, rotted subfloor around the toilet and tub, and no exhaust fan. Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint, and older tile adhesive or flooring may contain asbestos, so testing before demolition is smart.
The parts you never see matter most: a waterproofed shower, a properly sloped floor, a vented fan that exhausts outside, and GFCI-protected outlets.
What a proper job includes
- A written scope listing fixtures, tile and finishes
- Protection and dust control for the rest of the house
- Shower waterproofing and a sloped pan or tray
- Plumbing by a licensed plumber under a plumbing permit
- Exhaust fan ducted to the outside and GFCI outlets
- Subfloor repair where water damage is found
- Final cleanup and a punch list walkthrough
What drives the price
- Scope: cosmetic refresh, tub-to-shower conversion or full gut
- Moving the toilet, shower or vanity drain lines
- Tile size, pattern and square footage
- Hidden damage: rotted subfloor, old drain lines, plaster walls
- Fixture, vanity and glass enclosure choices
- Lead-safe work practices or asbestos testing in older homes
- Heated floors, niches and lighting upgrades

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Plumbing changes need a plumbing permit and new circuits need an electrical permit, each pulled by the licensed trade. Moving walls or altering framing adds a building permit. In Detroit, permits and inspections go through BSEED; elsewhere, the city or township building department (or the county or state, where they enforce) issues them.
Michigan licenses residential builders and maintenance and alteration contractors through LARA under Article 24 of the Occupational Code. A license is required for paid residential work above a threshold set by state law. Paid work that disturbs paint in a pre-1978 home must follow EPA lead-safe rules by a certified firm.

How to compare quotes
- Get quotes on the same fixture and tile list so they compare fairly.
- Ask how the shower will be waterproofed and what the tile warranty covers.
- Confirm the plumber and electrician are licensed and who pulls each permit.
- Verify the contractor on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
- Use a written contract with change orders signed before extra work starts.
