Spa-Inspired Bathrooms Built to Last
A great bathroom remodel does two things: it transforms how you start and end every day, and it adds significant value to your home. At RCV Construction, we've been remodeling bathrooms across Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Truckee for over 30 years — from budget-conscious guest bath updates and functional family bathroom refreshes to full luxury master suite retreats.
Every bathroom remodel is different and every budget is different — and we respect both. Whether you need custom vanity cabinetry, finish carpentry, or a full interior renovation, we handle it all under one contract. Whether you're refreshing a dated guest bath or building a spa-worthy master retreat, we'll help you make the most of what you have to spend and deliver results you're genuinely proud of.

Schedule a Free ConsultationWaterproofing — The Most Important Thing Nobody Talks About
The biggest cause of bathroom remodel failures — tile cracking, mold growth, water damage to adjacent rooms — is improper waterproofing. At RCV Construction, we use professional-grade waterproofing membranes and have our work inspected before any tile goes down. It costs a little more upfront and saves thousands down the road.
After 30 years in the business, we've fixed too many poorly waterproofed bathrooms to ever cut that corner ourselves.

"We had a very specific vision for our master bath — a freestanding tub, a large walk-in shower with a rain head, heated floors, and custom floating vanity. RCV delivered exactly that. The craftsmanship is exceptional."

How long does a bathroom remodel take in Reno or Lake Tahoe?
A standard full bathroom remodel in Reno, Sparks, or Lake Tahoe typically takes 3–5 weeks from demo to completion. A master bathroom transformation with a soaking tub, large-format tile, custom cabinetry, and heated floors may take 5–8 weeks. A luxury spa suite renovation can take 8–12 weeks. We plan the work schedule around your household so you're never without a functional bathroom longer than necessary.
Do you do tile work in-house or subcontract it?
Our tile setters are part of our own crew and work with RCV Construction full-time. We don't hire random tile subcontractors — tile is one of the most skill-dependent parts of any bathroom remodel in Reno or Lake Tahoe, and we treat it that way. Our tile work is inspected and warrantied as part of our overall project scope.
Can you move plumbing to change my bathroom layout?
Yes. RCV Construction regularly reconfigures bathroom layouts — relocating vanities, moving drain locations, adding shower rough-ins, repositioning soaking tubs, and converting tub-only showers to walk-in showers. All plumbing work is performed under our license and inspected by the local authority. We handle permitting for any plumbing changes in Reno, Sparks, Washoe County, Truckee, and Lake Tahoe.
Do you install heated floors in bathrooms?
Yes, and we highly recommend heated floors for any master bathroom remodel in the Reno-Tahoe region. Electric radiant floor heating is installed beneath the tile and adds significant comfort during cold Sierra Nevada winters. It's one of the most appreciated upgrades in any Reno or Lake Tahoe bathroom remodel and adds very little to the overall project cost relative to the daily comfort it provides.
Does RCV Construction remodel bathrooms in Lake Tahoe, Truckee, and Incline Village?
Yes. We remodel bathrooms throughout the Reno-Tahoe region including Lake Tahoe, Truckee, Incline Village, Sparks, and Carson City. Our dual California and Nevada contractor licenses (CA #694747, NV #0086849) allow us to complete bathroom remodel projects on both sides of the state line without any restrictions or the need for a second contractor.
