Bathroom Remodeling in Evans, CO

Why Evans Bathrooms Are Different from Other NoCo Cities

GIMA Renovation remodels bathrooms across every Evans neighborhood — from 1970s central Evans ranches converting their original alcove tubs to walk-in showers, to Tuscany newer homes upgrading from builder-grade to custom, to Country Club aging-in-place upgrades for residents staying in their homes long-term. Evans bathroom projects have a specific profile that sets them apart:

• Evans is the most affordable NoCo market. Median home value ~$349,000 (vs Windsor $617k-$666k, Fort Collins ~$540k, Loveland ~$486k). Most Evans bathroom remodels are funded by real budgets — not resale-prep budgets — which means tier flexibility and honest scoping matter more here.
• Tub-to-shower conversion is the most-requested Evans bathroom project. Documented Evans-specific cost: $1,829 to $2,795 average (range $381 to $5,460). The 1960s-1980s ranches that dominate central Evans almost all have an original alcove tub-shower combo in the secondary bathroom that nobody in the family uses for baths anymore.
• Aging-in-place specialty for older central Evans residents. Evans has a meaningful concentration of long-term residents in central neighborhoods who want to stay in their homes as they age. The bathroom is statistically the most dangerous room for seniors — falls in the bathroom send over 230,000 adults 15+ to ERs annually per CDC data, with seniors at highest risk for serious injury.
• 1960s-1980s ranches need full bathroom remodels. Original plumbing (cast iron drains, galvanized supply lines), original vanities, original tubs — most central Evans homes south of 37th Street are due for first-time bathroom remodels.
• 2013 flood-affected Sandhill and Riverside properties often have bathroom rebuilds as part of broader flood-recovery work. See our Evans water damage restoration page for context.
• City of Evans permit through CitizenServe is straightforward (2-4 weeks plan review per round).
• 10-minute response from our Greeley shop for any water-damage remediation during demo.

What an Evans Bathroom Remodel Costs in 2026

Colorado statewide bathroom remodel costs in 2026 typically range $8,640 to $37,800 per project, with Colorado construction running ~8% above the national average and skilled labor at approximately $52/hour. General contractor fees ($5,985 to $7,482 for most projects) are included in our scoped estimates.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion: The Evans Specialty

Tub-to-shower conversion is the single most-requested Evans bathroom project we run. The reason: nearly every 1960s-1980s ranch and split-level in central Evans (south of 37th Street, Country Club, parts of Hunters Reserve, downtown Evans) was built with an alcove tub-shower combo in the secondary bathroom — and nobody in those families takes baths anymore.

Proper Evans tub-to-shower conversion:

• Remove old tub, surround, valve, and (usually) wall tile down to studs.
• Inspect subfloor for hidden water damage and rot — common in older Evans bathrooms where small leaks went unnoticed for years.
• Relocate shower drain to center or linear-drain location if needed ($500 to $1,500 add-on depending on framing access).
• Install new mixing valve and rough-in plumbing to current code.
• Build sloped mortar bed (or pre-formed pan) with Schluter Kerdi or Wedi waterproof membrane wrapping up the walls 3-6 feet.
• Set tile on properly waterproofed substrate, seal grout, template glass once tile is set.
• Install new shower head, valve trim, glass door or panel.

Construction timeline: typically 24 hours of actual work split across 3 to 4 days. Total turnaround including tile cure and glass templating: 7 to 14 days.

Documented Evans-specific cost: $1,829 to $2,795 average per Homeyou data, with range $381 to $5,460 depending on scope. Most Evans conversions land in the $4,500 to $7,000 range for basic with porcelain tile and framed glass, or $5,500 to $12,000 for premium with large-format tile, linear drain, frameless glass, and built-in bench.

Schluter or Wedi waterproofing is included on every conversion we do — never optional. This is the line item that separates a 25-year tile shower from one that leaks into the wall cavity within 18 months.

Aging-in-Place Bathrooms: A Central Evans Specialty

Evans has a meaningful concentration of long-term older residents in central neighborhoods (south of 37th Street, downtown Evans, parts of Country Club). For these households, bathroom safety is a real concern — the bathroom is statistically the most dangerous room for seniors. CDC data shows falls in the bathroom send over 230,000 adults 15+ to emergency rooms annually, with seniors at highest risk for serious injury.

Our Evans aging-in-place bathroom package includes:

• Curbless walk-in shower with a linear drain — no lip to step over.
• Wall blocking at the toilet, inside the shower, and at any future grab-bar location — even if you don't install bars yet, the blocking is there when you need them.
• Comfort-height (ADA) toilet — 17 to 19 inches from floor to seat. Easier to sit down and stand up.
• Wider 36-inch doorway for walker or wheelchair access.
• Lever-handle faucets and easy-grip cabinet hardware.
• Anti-slip tile or honed/textured large-format porcelain on the shower floor and bathroom floor.
• 60-inch turning radius in the open floor area for wheelchair maneuverability.
• Hand-held flexible shower head on a slide bar.
• Built-in shower bench or fold-down seat.
• Improved lighting — brighter overall, plus vanity sconces for face lighting.
• Higher-output exhaust fan to clear steam quickly (slip hazard reduction).

Typical Evans aging-in-place full bathroom cost:$15,000 to $35,000 depending on whether it's a full remodel or specific safety upgrades added to an existing bathroom. We can design to full ADA standards or to less- formal aging-in-place specs depending on whether the household is planning for current needs or building flexibility for the next 10 to 20 years.

Funding options for qualifying Evans households include VA grants (SAH and SHA programs for service-connected disabilities), Medicaid waivers for qualified individuals, and Area Agency on Aging programs. We can help you understand the application requirements as part of the project scope.

The City of Evans Bathroom Permit Process

• No permit usually needed: vanity swap, toilet swap, tile replacement in existing footprint, paint, light fixture swap, exhaust fan in same location.
• Permit required: moving the shower drain, toilet flange, or vanity supply lines; adding new circuits; installing a new exhaust fan with different vent route; changing the bathroom footprint.
• Submittal: City of Evans Building Division (970-475-1110) through the CitizenServe online portal.
• Plan review: 2 to 4 weeks per round. Most clean submittals clear in one round.
• Fees: $50 plan review for addition/remodel + $75 admin fee + permit fees based on project value.
• Payment heads-up: permits valued above $1,500 must be paid by check or e-check rather than credit card.
• Inspections: rough (plumbing, electrical) and final — we schedule and meet each.
• Tub-to-shower conversion permits: not needed if drain stays in original location. Required if drain moves.

Built for Evans Budgets: Phased Bathroom Remodels

Many Evans bathroom projects span 2-3 years rather than happening all at once — because Evans budgets often require it. We design phased projects so each phase supports the next. Common phased Evans bathroom sequences:

• Year 1 ($3,000-$6,000): Replace toilet, vanity, faucet, and floor tile. Major visual change at lower cost.
• Year 2 ($5,000-$10,000): Tub-to-shower conversion or shower remodel. The biggest functional upgrade.
• Year 3 ($2,000-$5,000): Update tile walls, add improved lighting, install new exhaust fan. Final finish details.

Design considerations for phased Evans bathroom projects:

• Choose floor tile colors that work with future shower tile and vanity selections.
• Position the new vanity in a way that supports a future layout change if planned.
• Install rough plumbing during phase 1 that supports the phase 2 shower configuration (especially if planning to relocate the drain).
• Plan for grab-bar blocking during phase 1 even if you're not installing bars yet — behind walls is cheap; cutting walls back open in year 5 is not.
