reston bathroom remodeling
Peerless Construction | Reston, VA | (703) 547-7409 | www.peerlessconstructioncorp.com
A frameless glass walk-in shower brings clean, modern lines to a Reston contemporary home.
Your Reston home was designed to feel open, bright, and modern. Your bathroom probably wasn't — at least not since the last time anyone touched it. Sunken tubs, mirrored walls, builder beige tile, a fiberglass surround tucked under a skylight that deserves better. Peerless Construction remodels bathrooms across Reston that finally catch up to the architecture around them: clean lines, real light, and finishes that look like they belong in a home this thoughtfully built.
We're a licensed Class A contractor, and we've worked inside Reston's full range of homes — the cluster townhomes near Lake Anne, the condos around Town Center and the Silver Line, and the contemporary single-family homes scattered across South Lakes and Hunters Woods. Each one remodels differently, and we build accordingly.

We Build for the Way Reston Was Designed
Reston isn't a typical Northern Virginia suburb, and it doesn't remodel like one. Founded in 1964 by Robert E. Simon as one of America's first master-planned communities, Reston was built around a clear idea: homes that connect to nature, walkable village centers, and architecture that actually means something. That legacy is everywhere in the housing stock — mid-century modern and contemporary homes, architect-designed townhouse clusters like Hickory and Waterview, and a density of condos and attached homes you won't find in Herndon or Sterling.
That matters for a bathroom remodel. A design that looks great in a 1990s colonial can fall flat in a home built around floor-to-ceiling glass and open sightlines. When we plan a Reston remodel, we start from the home's own language — its light, its lines, its proportions — instead of dropping in a template. The Kohler fixtures and custom hardwood vanities we're known for read as a natural fit here, not an upgrade fighting the architecture.
Bathroom Remodels That Honor Reston's Modern Architecture
The best Reston remodels don't erase what makes the home distinctive — they sharpen it. Here's where that shows up most.
Working with skylights and natural light
So many Reston baths were built around skylights, clerestory windows, and borrowed light from open layouts — then finished with materials that swallowed all of it. We design to the light you already have: lighter, larger-format tile, low-iron glass, and matte finishes that keep a space bright without glare. If a skylight is dated or leaking, we replace it as part of the scope rather than working around it.
Clean lines and frameless glass
A frameless glass shower is the single change that most reliably modernizes a Reston bathroom. It removes the visual clutter of a framed enclosure or a tub surround and lets the room read as one continuous, architectural space. We walk you through the trade-offs — enclosure style, glass thickness, hardware finish — in our frameless vs. semi-frameless glass guide, and spec the configuration that suits your layout.
Custom hardwood vanities
Builder-grade vanities date a contemporary home instantly. A wall-mounted floating vanity or a custom hardwood piece does the opposite — it grounds the room in real craftsmanship and frees up floor space, which reads as larger and more modern. We build vanities to the exact dimensions of your space rather than forcing a stock cabinet to fit; the prefab vs. custom vanities breakdown explains why that difference is worth it in a home where proportion matters.
A custom hardwood vanity keeps the floor open and the lines clean.
Remodeling Condos, Townhomes & Cluster Homes
Reston sells more condos and townhomes than detached houses, and those homes come with constraints a standard contractor often underestimates. We don't. Attached and stacked living is most of what we do here.
Stacked plumbing and shared walls
In a condo or stacked townhome, your plumbing connects to units above and below, and your walls are shared. Moving a drain or relocating a wet wall is possible, but it has to be planned — and sometimes coordinated with the association. We scope this honestly up front so there are no mid-project surprises, and we protect shared walls, floors, and common areas every day we're on site.
Smaller footprints, smarter layouts
Cluster townhomes and condos often pack a full bath into a tight footprint. The fix isn't always more square footage — it's a smarter layout: a curbless shower that visually extends the floor, a floating vanity, recessed niches instead of bulky shelving. Our small-bathroom remodel guide covers the moves that make a compact Reston bath feel twice its size.
Reston Association and condo/cluster approvals
Interior bathroom remodels generally fall outside Reston Association's design review, which governs exterior and architectural changes. But individual condo and cluster associations frequently have their own rules — certificates of insurance, approved work hours, requirements around plumbing or structural changes. We're licensed and insured, we provide the paperwork associations ask for, and we help you confirm what your specific community requires before work starts. (Always verify with your own association; rules vary cluster to cluster.)
Updating Original 1960s–1980s Bathrooms
Many Reston homes still carry their original bathrooms — and those bathrooms have character worth respecting and details worth retiring. The goal is to modernize without sanding off the soul of the home.
Sunken tubs, garden tubs, and dated fixtures
The oversized garden tub or sunken platform tub was a statement in 1985. Today it's wasted space most homeowners step over to reach the shower. Converting that footprint into a generous curbless or walk-in shower is one of the most popular remodels we do in Reston — it modernizes the room, improves daily use, and recovers real square footage.
Opening up closed-off layouts
Some original baths were chopped into cramped compartments that fight the open feel of the rest of the home. Removing or relocating a wall can reconnect the space — but in attached and contemporary homes, it has to be done carefully. Our guide to the cost and risk of moving bathroom walls lays out what's structural, what's worth it, and what it runs.
Curbless showers and aging in place
Many of Reston's original owners have lived in their homes for decades and want to stay. A curbless, zero-threshold shower, comfort-height fixtures, and integrated, design-forward grab bars let a bathroom support aging in place without looking clinical — modern first, accessible by design. It's the same clean look younger buyers want, doing double duty.

A few recent Reston projects:
Lake Anne cluster townhome. A 1960s split-level near the plaza with original tile and a cramped hall bath. We opened the shower with frameless glass, added a floating walnut vanity, and kept the home's mid-century character intact. Completed in the high-$20,000s.
Reston Town Center condo. A primary bath in a Silver Line–adjacent high-rise, coordinated with the building's COI and work-hour rules. Curbless shower, Kohler fixtures, large-format porcelain. Low-$40,000s.
South Lakes contemporary. A skylit primary bath built around a tired sunken garden tub. We converted it to a wide curbless shower with heated floors and clerestory-friendly lighting. Mid-$60,000s.

Reston Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
Can you remodel a bathroom in a Reston condo, townhome, or cluster home?
Yes — attached and stacked homes are most of our Reston work. We're experienced with shared walls, stacked plumbing, and the access and protection that condo and cluster projects require, and we coordinate with your association on insurance, work hours, and approvals where needed.
Do I need Reston Association approval for a bathroom remodel?
Interior bathroom remodels generally fall outside Reston Association's design review, which covers exterior and architectural changes. Your individual condo or cluster association may still have its own requirements — certificates of insurance, approved hours, or sign-off on plumbing and structural work. We help you confirm what applies before we start, but you should always verify with your own association, since rules vary.
Can you update my bathroom without erasing the home's modern character?
That's the whole approach. We design from the home's existing architecture — its light, lines, and proportions — so the finished bath reads as an evolution of the original, not a generic flip. Mid-century and contemporary Reston homes look best when the remodel respects them.
How do you handle remodels with skylights or open layouts?
We treat them as assets. We design lighting, tile, and glass to make the most of natural light, and replace dated or failing skylights as part of the scope rather than working around them. Open and borrowed-light layouts inform where we place glass, vanities, and niches.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Reston?
Most Reston remodels land between $18,000 and $85,000 depending on the home and scope — condo and townhome guest baths at the lower end, larger contemporary primary baths at the upper end. The cost table above breaks it down, and we provide an exact all-inclusive quote after an in-home consultation.
How long does a Reston bathroom remodel take?
Most full bathroom remodels run roughly three to five weeks once work begins, depending on scope and any layout changes. Condo and cluster coordination can add a little time on the front end. Our bathroom remodel timeline guide walks through each phase week by week.
Do you offer curbless and walk-in showers for aging in place?
Yes, and we design them to look modern, not medical. Zero-threshold curbless showers, comfort-height fixtures, and integrated grab bars let long-time Reston owners stay in the homes they love with a bathroom that still looks current and clean.
