Real bathroom remodeling for real Albany homes.

Bathroom remodeling in Albany, NY isn't one-size-fits-all. Most Capital Region homes we work on need a tub-to-shower conversion, a vanity upgrade, or fresh tile — not the $30,000 gut renovation the national bath brands push. We scope your Albany bathroom remodel around what the space actually needs and what your budget allows.

A&S Home Services is Alex — an independent Albany contractor who has been remodeling Capital Region bathrooms for decades. Alex writes every bathroom remodel quote himself, runs every job on site, and finishes what he started. You get a fixed written quote before any work starts, no call-center scheduling pipeline, and no revolving cast of subcontractors. That's the whole pitch. Everything else is just workmanship.

Why Albany homeowners hire Alex for bathroom remodels

You deal with Alex, start to finish. Not a salesperson at the quote, a project manager at signing, and a different crew on demo day. Alex meets you at the quote, writes the scope himself, and is on site while the bathroom is being built. No revolving subcontractors, no scripted upsell, no "today only" pricing games.

Bathroom Remodel Services We Offer

Every Albany bathroom remodel is different. Here are the six most common scopes we handle for Capital Region homes — often in combination, occasionally alone.

Full bathroom renovations

Complete Albany bathroom remodel — new fixtures, tile, vanity, lighting, and flooring, taken to studs when the scope justifies it. Fixed written quote, one crew, no surprises.

Walk-in shower conversions

Tub-to-shower conversion is our most-requested Albany bathroom remodel. Curbless walk-in shower with proper waterproofing, tile, and a linear drain — done in about a week.

Tile installation & shower walls

Porcelain, ceramic, subway, natural stone — laid on properly waterproofed substrate for shower walls, floors, and accent walls. Same quality we put in our own Albany bathrooms.

Vanity installation & countertops

New vanity, sink, faucet, and countertop — a single-day bathroom remodel that transforms the space. Quartz, granite, solid-surface, or budget-friendly options.

Bathroom flooring

Waterproof LVP, porcelain tile, or heated tile floor for your Albany bathroom. Proper underlayment and moisture barrier so the floor still looks right ten years from now.

Aging-in-place modifications

Grab bars, curbless showers, comfort-height toilets, and slip-resistant flooring for Albany homeowners planning to stay in their home. Done to code, done cleanly.

Transparent pricing

How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Albany?

Every Albany bathroom remodel is priced from an on-site scope walk, not from a call center. Here are the three real cost tiers we see most on Capital Region homes.

Minor refresh

Refresh & refit

$3K – $8K
Typical 3–5 day project
  • New vanity, sink, faucet
  • New toilet or comfort-height swap
  • Fresh paint and hardware refresh
  • Flooring only (no wet-wall work)
Full renovation

Full renovation

$25K – $45K+
Typical 3–4 week project
  • Taken to studs and rebuilt
  • Layout changes, moved plumbing
  • Premium tile, stone, and fixtures
  • Heated floor and custom vanity
  • New window, door, or wall openings

These are Capital Region market ranges for a bathroom remodel — your Albany quote depends on the actual scope, materials you pick, and any hidden repairs behind the walls. See our related read on bathroom repairs before selling in Albany for common condition issues to plan around.

Timeline

How Long Does a Bathroom Remodel Take in Albany?

Most Albany bathroom remodels run 2–4 weeks on site from demo day to final walk. A minor refresh can wrap in under a week; a full renovation with layout changes may run four weeks or more when custom tile or a specialty vanity has to be ordered ahead.

Before demo starts, expect 1–2 weeks for the quote, material selection, and permit paperwork if the scope calls for one. Once we're on site, we work continuously — not one day here and three days off. Albany homeowners tell us that consistency is the biggest difference from bigger contractors who juggle multiple job sites.

Timelines get quoted honestly. If we hit a hidden condition — rotted subfloor, old cast-iron drain, active plumbing leak — we tell you the day we find it and we scope the fix before we move on.

Minor refresh (paint, floor, fixtures)3–5 days

Meet Alex

Decades on Albany bathrooms. One name on every quote.

I'm Alex. I've been remodeling bathrooms across Albany and the Capital Region for decades — tub-to-shower conversions, tile, vanities, full renovations to studs. Every bathroom remodel I quote in Albany, I walk the space myself and write the scope by hand. Not a salesperson at the quote, a project manager at signing, and a different crew showing up on demo day.

I don't run a call center, I don't run a franchise, and I don't do "today-only" pricing. If a national bath brand quoted your Albany bathroom at $18,000 for a tub-to-shower conversion, I can usually do the same scope for meaningfully less — because you're paying for the work I do with my hands, not for a sales presentation and a marketing team behind it.

I'm licensed, insured, and I stand behind every job. If something isn't right on the final walk, I fix it before I send the last invoice. That's how I've kept working in Albany for as long as I have.

“Do the work right, tell the truth about what it costs, show up when you said you would. That's how you make customers happy.”

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs — Albany, NY

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Albany?+
Most Albany bathroom remodels land between $8K and $25K — that covers a tub-to-shower conversion, new tile, new vanity, and updated fixtures. Minor refresh work (vanity swap, paint, flooring) can come in under $8K. Full renovations to studs with layout changes usually run $25K–$45K+. See our Albany bathroom repair cost breakdown for related pricing on prep-for-sale work.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?+
Most Albany bathroom remodels take 2–4 weeks on site once demo starts. A minor refresh can wrap in 3–5 days. Tub-to-shower conversions typically run 5–7 days. Full renovations with layout changes or special-order tile can go 3–4 weeks or more. Add 1–2 weeks upfront for quoting, selections, and permits.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Albany?+
If your Albany bathroom remodel involves moving plumbing, moving electrical, changing the layout, or structural work, yes — a City of Albany building permit is required. Pure cosmetic work (new tile, vanity, fixtures in the same locations) usually doesn't. We pull the permit whenever the scope requires it and roll the cost into the quote.
Can you do a tub-to-walk-in-shower conversion?+
Yes — tub-to-shower conversion is the single most common Albany bathroom remodel we do. We can build a curbless walk-in shower with a linear drain, tile walls, and proper waterproofing in about a week. Great option for aging-in-place, and it usually opens up the visual space in a small Albany bathroom.
Can I live in my home during the bathroom remodel?+
Yes, as long as you have a second working bathroom. Most Albany homeowners stay in the home during the remodel — we clean up daily, keep the work zone sealed off from the rest of the house, and coordinate any plumbing shut-offs in advance. If it's your only bathroom, we sequence the work to minimize downtime and typically get you a working toilet and sink each night.
What's included in your bathroom remodel quote?+
A written fixed-price quote from A&S includes labor, all materials, permit costs when required, disposal, and daily clean-up. We spell out fixture allowances so you know what's covered before you shop. Anything discovered behind walls (rotted framing, failed plumbing) gets a change-order conversation the day we find it — not a surprise on the final invoice. Ready to start?
