At Maldonado Bathroom Remodeling Company, we cut through the guesswork. No upselling, no vague promises. Just a straightforward plan to fix what’s broken and upgrade what’s not. We’ve worked with Tumwater families for years, handling everything from full gut jobs to simple fixture swaps, always with the same no-nonsense approach: your project, our expertise, zero fluff.

Why choose us
Four things on our checklist for every job.
This is how Maldonado Bathroom Remodeling Company runs every project, from the first site visit to the final walk-through.
Talk to us about your projectNo Hidden Fees: Just a Straightforward Quote Up Front
Tumwater homeowners hate hidden fees. We give you a written estimate upfront with no fine print. If we find something unexpected during the remodel, like rot behind the walls or outdated wiring, we’ll call you before we touch a tool. No ‘oops, that’s an extra $2,000’ moments. We’ve seen too many contractors lowball a quote just to nickel-and-dime you later. Our pricing is straightforward: what you agree to is what you pay. Period.
Built to Last Through Tumwater’s Rainy Season and Beyond
Humidity, rain, and the occasional earthquake, your bathroom needs materials that won’t warp, mold, or fail when the Deschutes River swells. We use moisture-resistant drywall, sealed grout, and ventilation systems that actually work (not the cheap ones that collect mildew). If you’ve ever had a shower stall turn into a swamp after a week of rain, you know why this matters. We’ve remodeled bathrooms in homes near the waterfront for years, and we know what lasts, and what doesn’t.
Fast Start, No Waiting: We Answer Calls and Show Up on Time
Need a quote? Want to schedule a free inspection? We answer calls and emails within 24 hours, no ‘leave a message’ voicemail games. Too many Tumwater contractors ghost you after the first estimate. We don’t. If you’re ready to start, we’ll be at your doorstep with a plan, and a crew, within days. No waiting months for a ‘convenient’ time. Your time is valuable, and we treat it that way.
Warranty-Backed Workmanship
Our work is covered by a 1-year warranty on labor and materials. If something fails, leaky faucet, cracked tile, poor caulking, we’ll fix it, no questions asked. We’ve seen too many ‘handyman’ jobs where the contractor disappears after the final payment. With us, you’re not just hiring a crew; you’re getting a guarantee. And if we can’t fix it? We’ll refund your money. Simple as that.
How it works
From site visit to sign-off
Free, No-Obligation Inspection
We start with a walkthrough of your bathroom, no pressure, no sales pitch. We’ll point out the real issues: mold behind the shower, outdated pipes, or a layout that wastes water. Many Tumwater homeowners think a ‘quick fix’ will work, but we’ve seen those turn into bigger problems. Our inspection is free, and our advice is honest. If we think you need a full remodel, we’ll explain why. If a partial fix will do, we’ll tell you that too.
Customized Plan & Pricing
No cookie-cutter designs here. We’ll sketch out a plan based on your budget, your needs, and Tumwater’s building codes. Want a walk-in shower but don’t want to gut the whole room? We’ll make it happen. Need a bathroom that’s ADA-compliant for resale? We’ll design it right. Every detail, from tile choice to plumbing upgrades, is picked to fit your space and your lifestyle. And you’ll get a written estimate with no surprises.
Licensed, Insured, and On Time
We handle permits, inspections, and scheduling so you don’t have to deal with the city’s red tape. Our crew shows up when we say we will, and we clean up after ourselves. Too many contractors in Tumwater leave messes or cut corners to save time. We don’t. Your bathroom will be functional, and presentable, throughout the remodel. And if we hit a snag (like finding rot behind the walls), we’ll call you before we make any changes.
Final Walkthrough + Warranty: Because We Stand Behind Our Work
Before we leave, we’ll walk you through every detail, how to care for your new shower, where the shutoff valves are, and how to spot potential issues early. Then we’ll hand you a warranty card. If something goes wrong in the first year, leaky faucet, cracked tile, poor caulking, we’ll fix it. No arguing. No excuses. Just a bathroom that works the way it should, for years to come.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask us first
My shower floor keeps getting wet even after I fix the drain. What’s really going on?
That’s not a drain issue, it’s a slope problem. Tumwater’s older homes often have showers installed with a slight dip toward the drain, but over time, the tile or pan cracks, creating hidden channels for water to pool. A proper remodel seals the subfloor and reinstalls the shower pan with a proper slope (1/4-inch per foot). We’ve seen cases where homeowners spent $300 on new drains only to have the same problem months later. The fix? A full pan replacement, not just a new liner.
Why does my bathroom smell like mildew even after cleaning?
Mildew smells mean trapped moisture, and in Tumwater, that’s usually one of three things: a vent fan that doesn’t exhaust outside, a gap in the grout, or a leak behind the toilet. We’ve torn out walls in homes near the waterfront where the subfloor was rotting from a slow drip under the sink. Start by checking if your fan blows outward (not just inward). If it’s still smelly, the issue’s structural. A remodel seals those gaps for good.
I heard ‘low-flow’ toilets save water, but mine keeps clogging. Is that normal?
No, it’s not normal, and it’s not the toilet’s fault. Tumwater’s water pressure and older pipes don’t mix well with cheap low-flow models. We’ve replaced toilets in homes near the college district where the homeowner spent $200 on ‘water-saving’ models, only to have them clog weekly. The fix? A high-efficiency toilet (1.28 GPF or less) with a larger trapway and a pipe inspection. If your lines are corroded, even a good toilet will struggle.
My bathroom floor feels spongy under the tile. Is that just old age?
Not old age, it’s a failing subfloor. Tumwater’s humidity causes plywood to delaminate, and once that happens, tile cracks and grout crumbles. We’ve seen floors where the subfloor was completely separated from the joists. The only fix is removing the old tile, sistering in new plywood, and reinstalling with moisture-resistant underlayment. Skipping this step turns a $3,000 remodel into a $10,000 repair down the road.
