Bathroom Remodeling in Prairie Village, KS
Primary suites rebuilt with genuine spa-level finishes inside Prairie Village’s established mid-century homes.
Our Approach to Bathroom Remodeling
A bathroom remodel in Prairie Village, KS is usually a primary-suite project in a home built in the 1950s or 60s, where the original bathroom was sized for a much smaller footprint than today’s families expect. Hickok Homes approaches every Prairie Village bathroom remodel as a full design-build project, not a trade-by-trade punch list.
Homeowners researching a bathroom remodel near me in Prairie Village are often comparing plumbing-focused contractors against a full design-build team that also builds in a desert climate on the Scottsdale side of our business. That two-market experience matters most in waterproofing and ventilation: a shower system engineered only for a dry climate can trap moisture and invite mold in a home that sees Kansas’s humid summers, so we specify membranes and exhaust capacity sized for the climate the bathroom actually sits in.
We start with layout, then work through the plumbing and structural realities of a home built decades ago, specifying fixtures and waterproofing systems built for longevity. Original galvanized supply lines, undersized vent stacks, and minimal insulation are common in Prairie Village’s mid-century housing stock, and we treat replacing or upgrading those systems as core scope rather than a change order discovered mid-project. A bathroom remodel is also one of the renovations we most often pair with a basement finish-out, since both projects add genuine living space without changing the home’s footprint.
Design & Materials
Curbless entry showers, freestanding tubs, and dual vanities with separate storage are increasingly the standard in the primary suites we remodel here, often paired with heated floors to take the edge off a Kansas winter morning. We specify tile, grout, and waterproofing systems rated for genuine four-season humidity swings, not just a finish that looks good on day one, and we size exhaust fans to actually clear steam in a humid Midwest summer rather than leaving moisture to linger in the walls.
Permitting in Prairie Village & Johnson County
Bathroom remodels that relocate plumbing or add electrical circuits require a permit through the City of Prairie Village’s building department, and we manage that submission and inspection scheduling as part of the project. If your home sits within a neighborhood with its own design guidelines, we also confirm whether any exterior changes need separate sign-off before work begins, so that step is accounted for in the schedule from day one.
Process & Timeline
A full primary bathroom remodel typically takes 6 to 10 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough; multi-bathroom projects run longer depending on scope and whether plumbing is being relocated. We sequence the work so the rest of the home stays livable wherever the scope allows it, and we keep you updated at every stage of construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A full primary bathroom remodel typically takes 6 to 10 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough.
Can you finish a basement as part of a renovation?
Yes. Finishing a basement to add genuine living space is one of the most common renovation requests we see alongside a bathroom remodel in Prairie Village.
Can Hickok Homes work with my own architect?
Yes. We coordinate construction documents and permitting around a design already underway, in addition to offering full design-build service.
What’s the typical cost of a bathroom remodel in Prairie Village?
Cost depends on scope, fixtures, and material selections, so we don’t quote a flat number without reviewing your project. We provide a transparent, line-item budget before any contract is signed.
Do you handle waterproofing for curbless showers?
Yes, curbless showers require careful waterproofing membrane work and structural floor modifications, which we manage as part of every curbless shower we install. This matters even more in a four-season climate like Prairie Village’s.
Can you convert a tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes, tub-to-shower conversions are a common request in Prairie Village’s mid-century homes, and we handle the plumbing, structural, and waterproofing changes involved.
Do you offer heated floors in a bathroom remodel?
Yes, heated floors are a popular addition in the primary suites we remodel, especially given Kansas’s cold winters, and we coordinate the electrical work they require as part of the overall project.
Will my bathroom remodel need a permit?
Bathroom remodels that relocate plumbing or add electrical circuits generally require a permit through the City of Prairie Village’s building department; we handle that process for you.
Will you need to replace old plumbing as part of the remodel?
Often, yes. Prairie Village homes built in the 1950s and 60s frequently carry original galvanized supply lines that we replace as part of the scope rather than working around.
Do you offer a warranty on bathroom remodeling work?
Yes, our remodeling work is backed by a workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties on fixtures and materials installed. We review the specific terms with you before work begins.
