What Kind of Bathroom Renovation Are You Looking For?
Bathrooms are where Denver homeowners get the most value — and where the most surprises hide. We've been remodeling bathrooms across Denver since 2008, and we've learned that a Park Hill bungalow from the 1920s behaves completely differently than a Cherry Creek condo from the 1990s or a Highlands Ranch home from 2005. The tile layout, the plumbing configuration, the floor structure — all of it is different, and you can't know what you're dealing with until you open it up. That's why we walk every bathroom before we quote it.
Sparrow Renovation & Repair handles bathroom remodels of every scope — from a simple vanity replacement to a full gut-and-rebuild with a custom tile shower. We pull all permits through Denver Community Planning and Development, handle all plumbing and electrical in-house, and give you a detailed written estimate before you commit to anything.
Walk-In Shower Conversions Denver
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower is one of the most common bathroom renovations we do in Denver — especially in older homes where the only bathtub in the house is in the primary bathroom and nobody uses it. We handle the full conversion: demo, waterproofing, custom tile, glass enclosure, plumbing. Done right, it looks like it was always there.
Tub-to-Shower Flips & Tub Refinishing
Not every project needs a full conversion. Sometimes a tub refinish and new surround tile is the smarter call. We'll tell you honestly which one makes sense — financially and functionally — for your specific bathroom before we recommend anything.
Full Tile Work — Shower, Floor & Wall
Shower tile, floor tile, feature walls. We've done large-format porcelain, subway tile, zellige, hex floors, decorative inlays — in Denver homes from bungalows to modern builds. Tile is an area where prep matters more than almost anything, and that's where a lot of contractors cut corners.
Vanity Replacement & Bathroom Cabinetry
New vanity, new countertop, new mirror and lighting — sometimes that's all a bathroom needs. We help you pick pieces that fit the space and the plumbing rough-in you already have, so you're not paying to move anything you don't have to move.
Bathroom Plumbing & Electrical
Moving a toilet, relocating a shower drain, adding a heated floor, upgrading lighting — all of it requires permits in Denver, and all of it is work we handle in-house. No separate sub you have to coordinate or chase down.
Full Gut Bathroom Renovations
Down to the studs. New waterproofing membrane, new backer board, new everything. This is what you need when there's been a long-standing leak, when the existing layout simply doesn't work, or when you want the bathroom to be exactly what you have in mind. See examples of our work →
Denver Bathroom Remodelers Who Know What They're Doing
Denver's older housing stock — especially the bungalows in Park Hill, Wash Park, and Capitol Hill — has bathroom surprises that catch a lot of contractors off guard. Unlevel floors from decades of settling. Original cast iron tubs that are incredibly heavy and incredibly difficult to remove without damaging the floor. Plumbing configurations that haven't been touched since the Eisenhower administration. Old tile work over cement board that's fused solid.
We've seen all of it. We know to look for it before we start, and we tell you when we find something that'll affect cost — same day, not at invoice time. We've remodeled hundreds of bathrooms across Denver since 2008, and the experience of those projects is genuinely what separates us from someone who's been doing it for three years.
We stay small on purpose. The person who walks your bathroom is the person managing your project — not handing it off to a crew you've never met. We've found that this single thing accounts for most of the horror stories people tell about bathroom renovations gone wrong.

What's Actually Different About Working With Us
Waterproofing Done Right
Bathroom failures — water behind tile, mold in the wall cavity, floor damage — almost always trace back to improper waterproofing. We use proper membrane systems and don't skip steps. It's not visible when the job is done, but it's the difference between a bathroom that lasts 20 years and one that fails in three.
Permits Pulled, Inspections Passed
Bathroom remodels that touch plumbing or electrical require permits in Denver. We pull them, we schedule the inspections, and we make sure the work passes. Unpermitted work is a problem when you refinance or sell — we protect you from that.
No Handoffs, No Surprises
You know who's in your home. The same experienced team member who gave you the estimate manages your project from demo to punch list. If something unexpected shows up — and in Denver bathrooms, it sometimes does — you hear about it that day.
Honest About What You Actually Need
If your bathroom can be fixed with a vanity swap and a new light fixture for $4,000, we'll tell you that. We're not interested in upselling a full gut renovation when it's not warranted. That's how we've built a 5-star reputation over 15 years in Denver.

Real Denver Homeowners on Working with Sparrow
"We had a small bathroom in a Park Hill bungalow that had never been updated — original 1940s tile, a cast iron tub that weighed as much as a car, and floor joists that were slightly soft in one corner from an old slow leak. Sparrow walked the bathroom before quoting and flagged the floor issue upfront. They gave us a written estimate that included fixing it, so there was no surprise when they found it during demo. The finished bathroom looks completely different — custom tile walk-in shower, new vanity, heated floor — and they were done in about five weeks."
"Our Cherry Creek condo bathroom was small, dark, and outdated. I had gotten two quotes before Sparrow — both contractors gave me vague ranges and couldn't tell me why certain things would cost more. Sparrow came out, measured everything, explained what the plumbing stack in our building limited us to, and gave us a real number. We went from a builder-grade tub-and-tile situation to a frameless glass shower with large-format tile and a floating vanity. The project took exactly as long as they said it would."
"I called Sparrow after a different contractor had left our bathroom half-done and disappeared. They came out, assessed what had been done (and what had been done wrong), gave us a clear scope to fix it and finish the job properly, and executed it. That included tearing out and redoing waterproofing that had been applied incorrectly. Their crew was professional, communicative, and left the space clean every day. We have a beautiful bathroom now and we learned a hard lesson about vetting contractors — Sparrow is the standard everyone else should be held to."
