Bathroom Remodeling — Johns Creek, Georgia
Bathroom Remodeling in Johns Creek, GA
The garden tubs of Rivermont, The Falls of Autry Mill, and Country Club of the South have been sitting unused for a decade. We turn 1990s primary baths into the room the house deserves — owner-led, designed in 3D, and priced in a written proposal before a single tile comes off the wall.

The short answer
What a bathroom remodel costs in Johns Creek
A primary bathroom remodel in Johns Creek typically costs $45,000 to $65,000 in 2026. Custom tiled work starts around $29,000 even in a smaller primary bath, hall baths land below that, and a tiled tub-to-shower conversion runs $5,000–$18,000. Those numbers fit this market: Johns Creek’s median sale price reached $700,000 in early 2026, and its median household income of roughly $160,000 is the highest of any city we serve. Most of the city’s bathrooms date to the same construction wave — the swim-and-tennis subdivisions built from the late 1980s through the 2000s — so the garden tubs, original vanities, and first-generation shower enclosures of that era are wearing out street by street. Alpharetta Kitchen & Bath is owner-led: one owner runs every project personally, and we serve all of Johns Creek, from Rivermont to Country Club of the South, from our base in neighboring Alpharetta.
The 1995 primary bath, thirty years on
Why Johns Creek bathrooms need more than new fixtures
Walk into almost any primary bath in Sugar Mill, Medlock Bridge, or Seven Oaks and you can date the house within five years. The same builders finished thousands of them the same way — and they are all aging out together.
What 1995 left behind
A corner garden tub on a tiled platform under a plant shelf. A cramped shower beside it. A double vanity set at a back-aching height, lit by a single strip of bulbs. It was the height of the market when Doublegate and Oxford Mill were selling out — and after three decades of daily use, these rooms have simply worked their shift.
What it becomes
The platform tub comes out and a walk-in shower roughly twice the size goes in — bench, niche, frameless glass, and waterproofing done to modern membrane standards rather than 1990s felt paper. A freestanding tub keeps the soak without the acreage. Comfort-height vanities, quartz counters, heated floors, and layered lighting finish the room the era never gave it.
Staying put, on purpose
Johns Creek owners tend to stay — the schools and the neighborhoods hold people for decades. In St Ives Country Club and The Falls of Autry Mill especially, we hear the same plan: this is the forever house. That makes curbless entries, bench seating, and discreet blocking for future grab bars a design decision worth making now, while the walls are open, not after something forces it.

What a full remodel includes
Everything between demolition and the last bead of caulk
One company, every trade. Turnkey means turnkey: plumbing, electrical, paint, frameless glass, and floor repairs are all handled and sequenced by us, so the project never waits on a trade you had to find yourself.
A full bathroom remodel with us runs from design and 3D visualization through demolition, plumbing and electrical with permits and inspections, waterproofing and tile, shower glass, vanities and stone tops, flooring — heated where you want it — lighting, ventilation, and paint. Tub-to-shower conversions, curbless showers, and aging-in-place details are handled inside the same design, not bolted on. One company sequences all of it, and the owner answers for all of it.
How it works
Five steps, and the tile pattern is settled before demo
-
Design consultation
An hour with the owner in your actual bathroom — how the room fails you now, what it should do instead, and an honest early range.
-
3D visualization
The shower size, the tub placement, the vanity wall — rendered so you can judge them before a single fixture is ordered.
-
Detailed written proposal
Scope, materials, schedule, and price on paper before you sign — the document you hold us to.
-
Construction
Typically 4 to 8 weeks for a primary bath, sequenced with the permits and inspections the City of Johns Creek requires.

The reveal
You run the shower, fill the tub, and open every drawer with us in the room — the job is done when you say it is.

Johns Creek bathroom questions, answered
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Johns Creek in 2026?
Most primary bathroom remodels in Johns Creek run $45,000 to $65,000 in 2026. Once a project involves a custom tiled shower, new waterproofing, stone counters, and any plumbing changes, pricing starts around $29,000 even for a smaller primary bath. Hall baths and cosmetic updates land below that, and tub-to-shower conversions run $1,500–$8,000 with a prefabricated surround or $5,000–$18,000 for a custom tiled walk-in with new waterproofing and glass.
Johns Creek skews toward the upper end of these ranges: the median sale price hit $700,000 in early 2026, and the primary suites in communities like St Ives Country Club and Country Club of the South are large rooms that carry large tile, stone, and glass quantities. You get a realistic range for your specific bathroom at a design consultation — in writing, before you commit to anything.
Should I convert my garden tub to a walk-in shower?
If nobody has used the tub in a year, yes — and in Johns Creek, that describes thousands of them. The corner garden tub on a tiled platform was the signature of the 1990s primary bath, and it is standing unused across Medlock Bridge, Sugar Mill, Seven Oaks, and Doublegate while the family shares a shower stall the size of a phone booth. That platform occupies the best real estate in the room.
Converting it typically yields a walk-in shower roughly twice the size of the original stall, often with a bench, a niche, and frameless glass; owners who still want to soak replace the platform with a freestanding tub in a fraction of the footprint. One honest caveat: keep at least one tub somewhere in the house for resale, usually in a hall bath. You can see both layouts in 3D before you decide anything.
Do bathroom remodels in Johns Creek require a permit?
Most do. Johns Creek is a Fulton County city, but it runs its own permitting through the city Community Development department, and residential interior alterations — bathroom remodels included — need a building permit, along with the plumbing and electrical work inside them. Swapping a faucet or repainting a vanity requires nothing; moving a drain, building a curbless shower, or adding a circuit does. Permit applications are submitted through the city portal by a contractor registered with the city.
The inspections are the part that protects you. Waterproofing is the highest-stakes step in any bathroom, because a failed shower pan does its damage silently, inside the floor, for years before anything shows. Ask every bidder — including us — who pulls the permit and when inspections happen. The answer should be specific, immediate, and in writing, not a shrug and a reassurance.
Do you work inside gated communities like Country Club of the South?
Yes. Gated and country-club neighborhoods — Country Club of the South, St Ives Country Club, Bellmoore Park — are part of our normal Johns Creek service area. Gate access lists, vendor hours, and any community rules that touch the project, from contractor parking to protecting the street, get worked out with you during scheduling rather than discovered on the first morning. Interior remodels generally do not need HOA design approval the way exterior changes do, so the approval question rarely slows a bathroom down.
We are based in neighboring Alpharetta, minutes from the Johns Creek line, which matters for a four-to-eight-week project where someone needs to show up every day. The process is identical everywhere we work: a design consultation with the owner at your home, a 3D design you approve, and a detailed written proposal before any work is scheduled.
