Bathroom Remodeling in Queensridge, Las Vegas NV

Queensridge was developed in the mid-1990s as one of west Las Vegas's flagship gated communities, anchored by the (now-closed) Badlands Golf Club. The estate homes we remodel here were built between 1995 and 2010 in a heavy Tuscan and Mediterranean vocabulary, and the primary baths all share the same template: a deep drop-in soaking tub on a stepped travertine deck under an arched window, a separate framed-glass shower stall with a curb, a long tile-counter vanity with two undersized undermount sinks, and decorative wrought-iron accents at the mirror or the shower entry. The footprint is usually generous — 200–350 sq ft for the primary bath alone — but every surface in the room is twenty-plus years out of step with current taste.

The remodel we run keeps the existing footprint and the existing wet/dry zoning but rebuilds everything inside it. The drop-in tub and the framed shower both come out; the dividing wall between them is reframed; and a single waterproofed curbless wet zone goes in with a linear drain at the back wall. A freestanding soaker — Victoria + Albert, BainUltra and MTI are the brands we specify most often — goes back in the original tub location under the arched window, with a floor-mount or wall-mount filler. The walk-in shower takes the rest of the wet zone with frameless glass, large-format porcelain on the walls and floor, a recessed niche, and a built-in bench. Steam generators show up on roughly half of the Queensridge projects we quote.

Vanity rebuilds as a single custom piece, usually 96"–120" long with two undermount basins and a single piece of quartzite or honed marble across the top. Drawer banks instead of door cabinets dominate now — easier daily use, easier to keep organized. Mirrors are either backlit recessed millwork mirrors or surface-mounted with sconces at each station; the original soffit fluorescent fixture comes out and the lighting plan rebuilds as a layered LED program with recessed cans, sconces and a separate night-light circuit.

Material program: the late-1990s and 2000s travertine + tumbled-stone palette is fully out. Most Queensridge rebuilds we run now are large-format porcelain (24"x48" or 48"x48") on the walls and floor, or 60"x120" porcelain slab in feature areas. Stone tops trend quartzite (Taj Mahal, Mont Blanc, Calacatta Macaubas) or honed marble (Calacatta, Statuario) when the owner accepts patina. Fixture packages lean polished nickel, unlacquered brass or matte black — Brizo Litze and Kintsu, Kohler Components, Waterworks Henry, and occasionally THG Paris on the higher-end projects.

Heated floors are now a default on most Queensridge primary rebuilds, not an upgrade. The original slab-on-grade plumbing usually allows the new drain placement without a deep slab cut, but we plan the layout around what the existing plumbing supports — relocating a toilet drain into the slab is doable but adds days and concrete work.

ARC and permitting: the Queensridge HOA reviews any exterior change — paint, roof, glazing, hardscape and additions — and expects a 3–5 week ARC review on those. Interior-only bath work doesn't trigger ARC. Plans go straight to City of Las Vegas plan check. We pull all SMEP permits in-house and coordinate inspections so the homeowner isn't in the loop on permitting logistics.

Timeline and budget: 9–13 weeks on-site for a full Queensridge primary-bath rebuild, plus 5–8 weeks of selections and material lead time before demolition (custom vanities, freestanding tubs and bookmatched stone slabs carry the longest lead times). Most Queensridge primary-bath projects land $85,000–$200,000 depending on stone selection, fixture brand, custom vanity scope and whether steam generators or heated floors are added. Guest baths in the same homes typically run $40,000–$85,000.
