Bathroom Remodeling
in Alexandria.

Alexandria bathroom renovations require a contractor who can work as comfortably inside a 1790s Old Town townhouse as inside a 1950s Belle Haven center-hall colonial. The city's historic architecture, restrictive layouts, and Old Town Historic District standards make Alexandria primary baths some of the most technically demanding renovations we take on — and some of the most beautiful when they are done with respect for the envelope they live inside.

Real Elite Contracting renovates primary baths and powder rooms across Old Town, Belle Haven, Rosemont, North Ridge, and Beverley Hills with attention to period accuracy where it matters and contemporary spa specification where the design calls for it. Typical Alexandria primary-bath scope in 2026 runs $50,000–$120,000+ depending on the level of structural and plumbing work the floor plan requires. Old Town townhouses often need a licensed plumber to route new lines, plus floor framing reinforcement to support modern fixtures. We coordinate that plumber, schedule the plumbing inspection, and document the structural changes for the historic-district record where applicable.

Finish work is where Alexandria bathrooms earn their character. We specify period-respectful tile patterns (hex mosaic, marble basketweave, subway with pencil liners), traditional vanity profiles in inset cabinetry, polished nickel or unlacquered brass fittings where the architecture asks for it, and clawfoot or freestanding tubs that are at home in a historic envelope. For more contemporary Belle Haven and Rosemont homes, we shift to large-format slabs, curbless walk-in showers, and clean-lined contemporary fixture lines without losing the workmanship standard.

Old Town Historic District permitting and the city's Board of Architectural Review add a layer to the front of any project that affects building exteriors; for interior bathroom work, standard City of Alexandria permits and Fairfax County (for unincorporated addresses) handle the trade inspections. We carry the paperwork, coordinate the inspection sequence, and keep your name off the bureaucracy. Review the proposed scope and warranty terms before signing.
