From $8,000 for a small hall bath to $50,000 for a primary bathroom, with a mid-range remodel at $20,000–$35,000. The published ranges from contractors working in Arvada and the Denver metro:

• Walk-in shower: $4,500–$30,000, from a Denver builder and a statewide Colorado company.

Where several firms publish, the range runs from the middle of their low figures to the middle of their high figures, so one unusually cheap or expensive page doesn't set it. Each firm is listed under Sources below, how we price explains the method, and budget and timing questions are answered in the Arvada bathroom remodel FAQ.

Scope and layout move it most, then labor, which is often 40%–50% of the budget. In rough order of impact:

1. Scope and layout. Keeping fixtures in place is cheaper. A tiled shower in the old tub footprint runs $6,500 to $12,000, and a conversion that changes the layout or footprint $12,000 to $20,000.
2. Labor. Often 40%–50% of a typical budget, according to an Arvada remodeling firm.
3. Tile and glass. Porcelain tile runs $5 to $30 per square foot; a framed shower door $700 to $1,200 against $1,500 to $3,500 for frameless glass.
4. What's behind the walls. Two bathrooms the same size can differ by $15,000+ depending on choices and construction needs, an Arvada contractor notes, and a Denver builder advises a contingency of 10 to 15 percent.
5. Demolition and disposal. Complete demolition runs $2,000–$3,500 and disposal $500–$2,000.
6. Extras. A heated floor adds $500 to $2,800.

A fee of $79.75 for the first $2,000 of valuation plus $14.00 per additional $1,000, for jobs valued at $2,001 to $25,000, plus plan check and use tax. The fee depends on the job's valuation, which Arvada takes as the contract value or the city's valuation table, whichever is higher. For a valuation between $2,001 and $25,000, the 2026 table charges $79.75 for the first $2,000 plus $14.00 for each additional $1,000; between $25,001 and $50,000 it is $401.75 for the first $25,000 plus $10.10 per additional $1,000. A plan check fee and use tax come on top.

Plumbing and electrical work in Colorado must be done by state-licensed trades and usually needs a city permit. Ask the pro you're connected with who holds those licences. The Arvada permit guide explains who applies.

They sit in the same band. A statewide Colorado bath company gives the average bathroom remodel in Colorado as $14,000 to $40,000 and a full bathroom remodel with its systems as $28,000–$45,000, and one Arvada contractor's mid-range tier is also $28,000–$45,000.
