Bathroom Remodeling | Davis and Sacramento

Bathrooms Designed Around Daily Life

Your bathroom should be easy to use, comfortable to spend time in, and designed to work well with the rest of your home. That can mean better storage, a more practical layout, improved lighting, or finishes that better reflect your style.

MAK Design + Build remodels bathrooms in Davis, Sacramento, Woodland, Winters, and nearby communities. We look closely at how the room works now, what needs to change, and how those changes fit into the rest of the house. The goal is a bathroom that looks good, works well, and feels specific to the people who use it.

MAK bathroom remodels range from compact hall baths and powder rooms to spacious primary bathrooms. Each one begins with a different home, a different set of needs, and a different design opportunity.

We Meet

Bathroom remodeling starts with understanding how the room works for you now. We talk about what feels awkward, what you wish you had more of, what you want to keep, and how the space needs to support your routines from morning through the end of the day.

We Design

Our designers think through the bathroom as a whole, from layout and storage to lighting, tile, fixtures, ventilation, and the small details you interact with every day. Because our design and construction teams work together, ideas are considered alongside budget and buildability from the beginning.

We Build

Once the design is finalized, our construction team coordinates the plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tile, cabinetry, and fixtures so each part of the bathroom is installed in the right order and works together as planned.

We Celebrate

A bathroom remodel can change the rhythm of everyday life in a surprisingly meaningful way. When the work is finished, the room should feel easier to use, more comfortable, more considered, and much more like it belongs to you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Remodeling

How much does a primary suite remodel cost in Davis or Sacramento?

The cost of a bathroom remodel depends on the size of the space, how much the layout changes, the condition of the existing home, and the materials and fixtures you choose. Moving plumbing, adding custom cabinetry, updating older systems, and selecting more detailed tile or finishes can all increase the investment.

We talk about budget early in the design process so the scope and selections stay aligned with what you’re comfortable spending. For a broader look at what remodeling projects typically cost in our area, including the factors that affect pricing, see our Remodeling Cost Guide.

Can MAK help me change the layout of my bathroom?

Yes. If the current layout feels cramped, wastes space, lacks storage, or simply doesn’t support the way you use the room, we can explore ways to reorganize it.
That might mean relocating a shower or tub, changing the vanity configuration, improving circulation, adding storage, or reconsidering how the bathroom connects to nearby spaces. Our goal is to find the solution that makes the space work better.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

A bathroom remodel often takes about four to seven months from design through construction, with construction itself commonly taking about six to ten weeks. The timeline can vary depending on permitting, plumbing changes, custom materials, tile complexity, and what we discover in the existing home.

Bathrooms may be smaller than kitchens or whole-home projects, but there’s a lot happening within a relatively compact space. Giving design and planning the time they need helps resolve those details before construction begins.

Does MAK handle both bathroom design and construction?

Yes. Every MAK project includes both design and construction. We’re an integrated design-build firm, so the people designing your bathroom are working in conversation with the people responsible for building it.

That connection lets us consider aesthetics, feasibility, budget, and construction details together rather than handing a completed design from one company to another. It also gives homeowners one coordinated team from the first conversations through the completed bathroom. MAK doesn't offer design-only or construction-only remodeling services.

Can MAK Design + Build from plans created by another architect or designer?

MAK doesn’t take on construction-only bathroom remodels based on finished plans created by another architect or designer. We’re happy to learn from ideas, inspiration, sketches, or previous design work you’ve already explored, but we begin our own design process before moving into construction.

That allows our designers and builders to work together from the beginning, think through the details as one team, and make sure the finished bathroom reflects both your vision and the realities of building it well.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Davis or Sacramento?

Permit requirements depend on the scope of the project and where the home is located. Bathroom remodels that involve plumbing, electrical work, structural changes, or changes to the layout often require permits, while simpler cosmetic updates may not. As part of MAK’s design-build process, we determine which permits are needed, prepare the required plans, and coordinate the permitting process before construction begins.

Client Reviews

“The way of MAK is quality, transparency, and efficiency. With MAK, they helped achieve our vision of updating our almost 100 year old home to exude a more modern presence while still maintaining some of its old, good bones. It was our first time ever doing this type of thing and every step of the way we felt confident and comfortable that MAK was doing right on our behalf. The culture that Ken, and likely others, have crafted at MAK is truly amazing and refreshing in this day-in-age. Every employee is gracious, courteous and smiling. From our perspective as the client, the bankroll, it is easy to state that we were treated as first-class citizens . But even more marvelous to see was how positively MAK interacted with the community, neighbors, and sub-contractors. The MAK culture is firmly present from within but emanates to those around which, for us, produces a better product.”

Whole House, Central Davis

“We thoroughly enjoyed working with the MAK team on our garage conversion in Davis. Every single team member showed a commitment to quality and transparency, and they were all very respectful and pleasant. We never had to worry about the overall quality of the work because our project manager was on site every day to make sure every aspect of the build was taken care of. We also enjoyed working with the design team and appreciated their guidance. We ended up with an airy and modern looking multi-use room and beautiful bathroom that fits our personal style! The team even helped us problem solve a unique storage solution that made up for the loss of our garage. We plan to use this team again for our upcoming kitchen and second bath remodel.”

+ Brittany A., 2024

Garage Conversion, Central Davis

“We have been entirely enjoying our renovated kitchen, flooring, and other areas of the house that MAK Design + Build helped us conceptualize and enact. Working with their design team was easy and inspiring, and their construction workers were unfailingly helpful and accommodating. Equally importantly, MAK stands behind their work, making corrections when needed. We have enjoyed recommending MAK to others who similarly seek a renewal of their place to live.”

+ Ross T., 2023

Kitchen, North Davis

MAK is the best! Our renovation project involved a complete gutting & re-do of the foyer, kitchen, dining room, family room and laundry/mudroom (over 1,000 sf). This was the largest remodel we had ever done. On past projects we had encountered the ‘usual’ contractor problems and cost overruns. We were nervous about having the same issues on a much larger project. We really needed a company that could handle the day-to-day issues without us.
Everyone involved on the project, from Ken the owner, to all the subcontractors were very friendly and easy to work with. Our project was completed on time, on budget and we loved the outcome! We will continue using MAK for a smaller Phase II project involving French doors. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone, with no hesitation — great people, excellent work ethic, high integrity with outstanding results.
