Separate Tubs and Showers
In many existing bathrooms, there is not enough space for both a separate bathtub and a comfortable shower.
CKS Builders LLC can help evaluate whether a separate tub and shower are practical for the space.

Where It Starts
Remodel the Entire Bathroom, Not Just One Fixture
Many homeowners begin thinking about a bathroom remodel because of one specific problem.
The tub may no longer be useful.
The shower may be too small.
The vanity may lack storage.
The tile may be outdated, or the entire room may feel cramped and difficult to use.
Once the project is discussed in detail, it often becomes clear that replacing one fixture will not solve the larger problem.
Steven has found that many bathroom clients are looking for a complete tear-out rather than a simple vanity replacement. The shower, flooring, vanity, lighting, fixtures, and room layout all affect how the bathroom functions.
CKS Builders LLC helps homeowners look at the complete space and decide which changes will provide the greatest improvement.

Most Requested
Walk-In Showers and Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Walk-in showers are one of the most common requests Steven receives for bathroom remodeling.
Many older bathrooms were designed around a bathtub. Homeowners who rarely use the tub may prefer a larger shower that is easier to enter and more comfortable for daily use.
A tub-to-shower conversion may include:
- Removing the existing tub
- Adjusting plumbing
- Preparing the shower base
- Installing waterproofing
- Adding tile walls
- Installing tile flooring
- Adding a shower niche
- Installing a glass enclosure
- Updating the shower fixture
- Adding storage or seating where space allows
The design depends on the size and shape of the room.
Some bathrooms have enough space for a large walk-in shower with a glass enclosure. Others require a more compact layout that uses the available space carefully.
CKS Builders LLC helps homeowners consider entry location, glass placement, fixture position, storage, and how the shower will affect movement through the room.
However, a larger bathroom, custom home, primary suite, or bathroom addition may provide enough room for both.
A bathroom with a separate tub and shower may include:
A freestanding or built-in tub
A walk-in tile shower
A glass shower enclosure
Double vanities
Additional storage
Improved lighting
A private toilet area
This layout requires more square footage and careful planning. The fixtures should not make the room feel crowded or create narrow pathways.
Moving Walls
Bathroom Layout Changes
Some bathrooms can be improved by keeping the fixtures in their current locations and replacing the finishes.
Other bathrooms need a more significant layout change.
Depending on the structure, plumbing, and available space, a remodeling project may include:
- Relocating the vanity
- Changing the shower location
- Removing a bathtub
- Adding or removing walls
- Expanding the bathroom into nearby space
- Dividing a larger room into multiple rooms
- Adding a bathroom where one did not previously exist
- Relocating laundry equipment
- Converting a full bathroom into a half bathroom
As Built
Steven has experience with projects that involve major room reconfiguration.
Stripped Back
The Room That Replaced It
In one whole-home remodel, a large upstairs laundry room was redesigned to create two bathrooms and a bedroom.
Another upstairs bathroom was removed to create an open loft and living area.
The laundry room was moved downstairs into a bathroom where the shower had previously been located, and that room became a half bathroom and laundry area.
This type of work requires an understanding of how each change affects plumbing, structure, access, and the rest of the home.
The Working Wall
Vanities, Countertops, and Storage
The vanity is an important part of the bathroom because it affects storage, sink space, lighting, and movement through the room.
The right vanity size depends on the room.
A larger vanity may provide more storage, but it should not make the entrance, shower, or toilet area feel restricted. In a smaller bathroom, a well-planned single vanity may work better than forcing in two sinks.
A bathroom remodel may include:
A single vanity
A double vanity
Drawer storage
Cabinet storage
Quartz countertops
Updated sinks
New faucets
Wall-mounted mirrors
Improved lighting
CKS Builders LLC helps homeowners consider how much storage is needed and how the vanity will relate to the other fixtures.
Surfaces
Tile, Flooring, and Bathroom Style
Tile has a major influence on how a bathroom looks and feels.
It may be used for:
Shower walls
Shower floors
Bathroom flooring
Shower niches
Accent areas
Backsplashes
There is no single style that every homeowner wants.
Steven has worked with clients who prefer modern, minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired, and traditional designs. Recent projects have leaned toward cleaner lines, neutral tones, beige finishes, and less visual clutter.
However, CKS Builders LLC does not limit clients to one design direction. The bathroom should fit the homeowner's preferences and the character of the rest of the house.
Material selections should also be practical. Bathroom surfaces need to handle moisture, regular cleaning, and everyday use.
CKS Builders LLC helps clients organize selections and can recommend suppliers Steven has worked with throughout his construction career.
Existing Conditions
Bathroom Remodeling in Older Homes
Older homes throughout Port Angeles and nearby communities often contain small bathrooms with limited storage and outdated fixtures.
The visible finishes may not be the only issue.
CKS Builders LLC does not approach an older bathroom as though it were simply an empty room. The existing conditions need to be evaluated and handled as part of the project.
Once demolition begins, the project may reveal:
Old plumbing
Outdated electrical work
Water damage
Previous repairs
Uneven framing
Damaged subflooring
Insufficient ventilation
Unexpected wall construction
These conditions can affect the amount of work required.
20 Years in the Trades
Steven brings 20 years of experience in construction, remodeling, carpentry, and custom homebuilding. That experience helps him understand how the bathroom connects to the surrounding structure and what may need to be addressed before new finishes are installed.
A Room That Was Not There
Bathroom Additions
A homeowner may need a new bathroom rather than only an update to an existing one.
Bathroom additions may be considered when:
A home has too few bathrooms
A new bedroom or guest suite is being added
A primary suite needs a private bathroom
A large room can be divided
An upstairs layout is being reorganized
A home is being prepared for multigenerational living
More Than Fixtures
Adding a bathroom involves more than installing fixtures. Plumbing routes, ventilation, electrical work, structural conditions, room access, and available space all need to be considered.
CKS Builders LLC can evaluate how a new bathroom may fit within a larger remodeling or addition project.
Where to Start
You Do Not Need a Final Design
You do not need to know every tile, fixture, or layout detail before contacting CKS Builders LLC.
You may know that you want to replace the tub with a walk-in shower, add storage, improve lighting, or make the entire bathroom feel more open.
Steven can review the room and discuss:
What does not work in the existing layout
Whether fixtures can be relocated
How much shower space is available
Whether the room can be expanded
What type of vanity may fit
Which structural or plumbing conditions need further review
What level of materials you are considering
Clients who already have plans or a design can also contact CKS Builders LLC. Steven can review the proposed layout and discuss practical construction details before work begins.
Budget
Clear Bathroom Remodeling Budgets
The cost of bathroom remodeling depends on the scope, materials, and existing conditions.
Important factors include:
Bathroom size
Complete tear-out or partial update
Tub removal
Walk-in shower construction
Tile amount and selection
Glass shower enclosure
Vanity and countertop
Plumbing changes
Electrical work
Layout changes
Water damage or hidden conditions
Fixture selections
CKS Builders LLC begins with a conversation and site visit. Steven reviews the bathroom, discusses the desired changes, and evaluates visible conditions.
For many projects, CKS Builders LLC can provide a preliminary budget range. This allows the homeowner to determine whether the general scope fits the available investment.
Once the homeowner is interested in proceeding, CKS Builders LLC prepares a more detailed estimate. Steven uses spreadsheets to explain the different project costs and clearly identifies overhead and profit instead of hiding those amounts within subcontractor pricing.
If the original plan does not fit the budget, Steven may be able to discuss alternative materials, a simpler layout, or a different project scope.
Order of Work
Coordinating the Complete Project
Bathroom remodeling requires several parts of construction to happen in the correct order.
The process may involve:
- Demolition
- Framing
- Structural changes
- Plumbing
- Electrical work
- Ventilation
- Drywall or wall preparation
- Waterproofing
- Tile
- Vanity installation
- Countertops
- Fixture installation
- Glass installation
- Trim
- Painting
- Final details
CKS Builders LLC manages the project and coordinates the appropriate specialty subcontractors.
Steven and his team personally handle many core carpentry and construction tasks. This helps keep the different parts of the project connected rather than treating each trade as an unrelated job.
Staying in Touch
Communication During Your Bathroom Remodel
CKS Builders LLC typically keeps routine communication organized through email. This creates a written record of selections, pricing, approvals, and project questions.
When an answer is needed quickly, Steven contacts the homeowner by phone.
Clients receive guidance about which materials and fixtures need to be selected and when those decisions are required.
Clear communication is especially important when one selection affects another.
The vanity size affects plumbing and mirrors.
The tile affects the shower design.
The fixture locations affect framing and waterproofing.
CKS Builders LLC helps keep those decisions organized throughout planning and construction.
