Bathroom Remodeling in San Rafael, California
Bathrooms Built for Life Near the Water
If your home sits along the bay, a canal, or one of the quiet inlets that give San Rafael its character, your bathroom has a different job to do. Salt air, shifting humidity, and bright reflected light all shape how a space looks and holds up over time. That calls for a design approach built around your setting, not a generic template pulled off a shelf.
At Gilmans Kitchens and Baths in San Rafael, we design and build bathrooms that feel right at home near the water. Whether you live in the neighborhoods around Gerstle Park, the hillside streets near Ring Mountain Preserve, or a waterfront property closer to China Camp, we help you create a space that blends comfort, durability, and a view worth waking up to.
Specialized Waterfront Bathroom Design, Start to Finish
Waterfront living is beautiful, but it asks more of your materials and your layout. We plan every project with your environment in mind, from ventilation and moisture control to finishes that can stand up to coastal conditions without losing their polish.
Our team handles everything under one roof:
- Custom floor plans that frame your view and improve daily flow
- Premium cabinetry and vanities matched to your style
- Countertops, tile, and fixtures selected for beauty and long-term performance
- In-house construction and installation by our licensed crew
- 3D X-Ray Vision design previews so you can see your new bathroom before a single tile is cut
Full-scale bathroom remodels and custom cabinetry are our most popular offerings, and we also provide a wide range of related work such as kitchen design, ADU planning, outdoor spaces, handyman services, and custom screens to round out your home.
Why San Rafael Homeowners Choose Gilmans
For more than seven decades, we have been a trusted design-build partner across Marin and the greater Bay Area. That experience matters when your project involves older waterfront homes, tight lot conditions, or custom layouts that need careful planning.
Here is what sets our Showroom Experience apart:
- One team, one plan. Our designers, project managers, and installers all work together, so your remodel moves smoothly from first sketch to final walkthrough.
- Hands-on material selection. Visit our San Rafael Showroom at 530 Francisco Blvd W to see and feel cabinetry, stone, tile, and fixtures in person.
- True 3D design previews. Our 3D X-Ray Vision technology lets you walk through your new bathroom before construction begins, so there are no surprises.
- Licensed and insured in California. You get the confidence of a fully credentialed team on every project.
Our Design Build Process
We keep things clear and organized from day one. Here is how a typical waterfront bathroom project with us unfolds:
- Start Your Journey. Reach out online or by phone to share your ideas, your timeline, and the basics of your home.
- Showroom Consultation. Meet your designer, explore finishes, and talk through your vision in person.
- 3D Design Preview. See a full visual model of your new bathroom and refine every detail before work begins.
- Proposal and Planning. Review a clear scope, selections, and schedule so you always know what comes next.
- Construction. Our in-house crew handles demo, build-out, and installation with care for your home and your neighbors.
- Final Walkthrough. We review every finish and fixture with you and make sure the space feels right.
Project timelines and results may vary based on scope, materials, and site conditions.
Designed Around San Rafael
San Rafael has a mix of architectural styles that makes every project a little different. A mid-century ranch near Gerstle Park calls for a different touch than a contemporary home tucked into the hills above Ring Mountain Preserve, and a bayside property near China Camp State Park has its own set of design opportunities tied to light, wind, and views.
We design with those differences in mind. Our team also serves nearby communities like Novato and Mill Valley, giving Marin homeowners a true local partner for their next remodel.
What Our Clients Say
Homeowners across Marin choose Gilmans because we treat their project the way we would treat our own. Clients often tell us they appreciate how organized the process feels, how honest we are about options and trade-offs, and how the final result matches, or beats, the 3D preview they saw in the Showroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a waterfront bathroom different from a standard remodel?
Homes near the water deal with higher humidity, salt in the air, and strong natural light. We select finishes, hardware, and ventilation strategies that stand up to those conditions while still looking beautiful for the long haul.
Do you handle the construction, or do I need a separate contractor?
We are a true design-build firm. Our in-house, licensed crew manages the entire build, so you never have to juggle multiple contractors or worry about handoffs between teams.
How do I get started?
The easiest way is to book a consultation online or give us a call. We will ask a few questions about your home and goals, then set up a time to meet at the Showroom.
