Quick answer
cK Builders is a licensed Minnesota residential building contractor (#BC809999) that remodels bathrooms in St. Paul, Mendota Heights, Dakota County and the south metro. We handle the whole job: demolition, framing repairs, plumbing and electrical by licensed trades with permits, waterproofing, tile, vanities, fixtures, lighting and paint. For a benchmark, the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report puts an average midrange bathroom remodel in the Twin Cities at $27,413.
Bathroom remodels we do
We do it all in the bathroom, from a complete gut down to the studs to a single toilet swap. Full primary-bath remodels, hall and kids’ baths, powder rooms, basement bathroom additions and tub-to-shower conversions, and the small jobs too, like a new vanity, faucet, fan or light.
For showers and tubs, that means walk-in tile showers built on a waterproofed pan, tile or acrylic surrounds, new tubs, niches, benches, glass doors, and new valves and trim. Around the room we handle tile and LVP floors, heated tile floors, wall tile and wainscoting, vanities and tops, sinks, faucets, toilets, mirrors, medicine cabinets, lighting, GFCI outlets and exhaust fans vented outside, plus accessibility upgrades like grab bars, low-threshold showers and comfort-height toilets.
Behind the walls, licensed plumbers and electricians handle moved drains, new supply lines and new circuits under permit, and we repair the subfloor, framing and water damage that turn up once things are opened. Whatever the size of the job, you deal with one contractor from start to finish.
