Bathroom Remodeling in Northern Virginia
Your bathroom should be a space you look forward to using. A place that feels fresh, functions well, and reflects your personal taste. But for many Northern Virginia homeowners, the bathroom is the room they’ve been tolerating for years: outdated tile, a cramped shower, a vanity that’s seen better days, or a large soaking tub that hasn’t been used since the previous decade. Whether you’re ready for a simple refresh or a complete transformation, Jabs Construction has been helping families in Fairfax, Prince William, Stafford, and Fredericksburg fall back in love with their bathrooms for over 45 years.
As a fourth-generation family business with a registered architect on staff, master carpenters, and experienced project managers, we bring an uncommon level of care and craftsmanship to every bathroom project, no matter the size.
Is This You?
The Homeowner with the Outdated Hall Bathroom
It’s the original bathroom from when the house was built. Pink tile, a pink tub, a vanity from another era. Guests use it, the kids use it, and every time you walk in you think “someday.” Someday has arrived.
What worries you
Will a hall bathroom remodel be worth the investment? How disruptive will it be when it’s the only full bathroom in the house?
How we help
We’re experts at moving efficiently through a hall bathroom remodel. Typically a complete gut-and-redo can be accomplished in two to three weeks. We’ll help you select all the new finishes so everything coordinates beautifully, and we’ll sequence the work to minimize the days you’re without a functioning bathroom.
How you'll feel when it's done
Like you added a room to your house. A clean, bright, well-designed bathroom makes an enormous difference in how a home feels every single day.
The Homeowner Who Wants to Love Their Primary Bathroom
You have a large soaking tub you haven’t used in years, a shower that’s too small to move around in comfortably, and a single vanity when you really need two. The space exists, it just isn’t configured the way you’d want it if you were designing it today.
What worries you
Can we really reconfigure this space to get what we want? Will the new layout actually feel bigger? How do we coordinate all the tile, fixtures, and finishes so it looks intentional?
How we help
This is exactly what we do best. We look at your existing footprint and rethink the layout to get you more of what you use and less of what you don’t. Larger shower, double vanity, smarter storage… we’ll design a bathroom that works with the space you have and feels genuinely luxurious.
How you'll feel when it's done
Like you’re getting ready in a hotel suite every morning. It’s one of the most satisfying remodels a homeowner can make.
The Aging-in-Place Homeowner
You want to stay in your home for as long as possible, but the bathroom with its slippery tub surround and narrow doorway, isn’t designed for safety or comfort as you age. You want a bathroom that’s both beautiful and practical, without looking institutional.
What worries you
Can we make this safe without it looking like a medical facility? Will the modifications reduce the home’s value?
How we help
We have extensive experience incorporating aging-in-place design features (curbless showers, grab bars integrated into the tile design, comfort-height toilets, wider doorways) in ways that look completely intentional and beautiful. These features enhance your home’s value and livability simultaneously.
How you'll feel when it's done
Confident and comfortable. You’ll have a bathroom that works for you today and continues to work for you for decades to come.

How It Works
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A complete hall bathroom gut-and-redo typically takes two to four weeks. A larger primary bathroom reconfiguration can take four to eight weeks depending on the complexity of the layout changes and the lead time on any special-order materials. We build your material lead times into the schedule upfront so there are no unexpected delays mid-project.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Northern Virginia?
A full hall bathroom gut-and-redo typically runs $15,000 – $25,000 depending on tile and fixture selections. A primary bathroom reconfiguration with new layout, larger shower, double vanity, and quality finishes generally ranges from $30,000 to $70,000. We provide itemized proposals with product allowances so you understand exactly what’s included and where there’s flexibility to adjust scope or materials.
Can we convert a tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes, and it’s one of the most popular requests we get for primary bathrooms. If you never use your soaking tub and would rather have a larger, beautifully tiled shower, we can make that happen. We evaluate the plumbing and structural conditions during our initial visit and let you know exactly what’s involved.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel?
It depends on the scope of work. Cosmetic updates such as new tile, vanity, fixtures typically don’t require a permit. Projects involving changes to plumbing, electrical, or structural elements do require permits. We handle all permitting with the county on your behalf, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Can you help us make our bathroom safer for aging in place?
Absolutely. And we do it in a way that looks beautiful, not institutional. Curbless showers, strategically placed grab bars integrated into the tile design, comfort-height toilets, and wider doorways are all things we’ve incorporated into bathrooms throughout Northern Virginia. These features add real value to your home.
Will the tile we pick look good with the vanity and fixtures?
This is one of the most common concerns homeowners have, and it’s exactly what our team excels at helping you navigate. We guide you through a selection process that coordinates all your finishes (tile, grout, vanity, countertop, hardware, and fixtures) so everything works together as a cohesive design. You won’t be left making these decisions alone.
