Bathroom Remodeling in Kingfield

Custom bathroom remodels for Kingfield homes since 1983. South Minneapolis bungalows where the original hall bath has been functioning — but never quite finished — for a hundred years.

The Kingfield bathroom has outlasted everything else the house came with. That is not a compliment.

A Kingfield bungalow bathroom from 1924 has two things going for it — the hex tile floor is usually still flat, and the room is bigger than it looks. What it has working against it is everything else: galvanized supply lines that barely produce pressure, a tub with no functional shower, a vanity that belongs in a different decade, and cast-iron drain lines that are a hundred years old. The house around it has been updated, improved, and invested in. The bathroom has been cleaned. Knutson has been rebuilding Kingfield bathrooms properly since 1983.

  • Full hall bathroom rebuilds — gut to the subfloor, new waterproofing, period-appropriate tile and fixtures

  • Clawfoot tub restoration or replacement — shower addition, new enclosure, updated supply and drain

  • Primary suite bathroom additions — new bath created from adjacent bedroom or closet space

  • Galvanized supply line replacement and cast-iron drain upgrade in every Kingfield bathroom project

  • Original hex tile preservation where intact — period-appropriate replacement where it is not

  • All City of Minneapolis permits managed — plumbing, electrical, and building through final sign-off

Bathroom Remodeling in Kingfield

Kingfield bathroom remodeling splits into two projects depending on what the household needs. The first is a full rebuild of the original hall bath — the room that has been in continuous service since the 1920s and is overdue for a serious renovation rather than another round of cleaning. The second is adding a primary suite bath to a bungalow that was never designed with one — using borrowed bedroom space or a large closet to create a private bathroom for the master bedroom. Both are projects we have delivered many times in Kingfield.

Rebuilding the original Kingfield hall bathroom

The original hall bath in a Kingfield bungalow is often a room with genuine character. Hexagonal floor tile that has outlasted everything else in the house. A clawfoot tub that was overbuilt for its era. A window placed by someone who understood light. The goal in these rooms is not to tear out everything and start over with subway tile — it is to edit thoughtfully. Keep the tub if the enamel can be restored. Keep the hex tile if it is intact and level. Add a proper shower. Replace the vanity with something that has real storage. Update the supply and drain lines that have been quietly degrading for a century.

When the original bathroom is past saving, we rebuild it from the subfloor up. New waterproofing membrane, new tile in a pattern that references the era of the house, new fixtures in positions that make the room function correctly, and new plumbing permitted with the City of Minneapolis. The result looks like the bathroom was always this good.

Adding a primary suite bath to a Kingfield bungalow

Kingfield bungalows are compact — which makes finding space for a primary suite bath a real planning challenge. The opportunity is usually in one of three places: a bedroom that is larger than it needs to be, a large closet that backs up to the master bedroom wall, or a hallway configuration that can be reorganized. The drain path through the existing stack is the other constraint — we map it at the first visit and tell you which options are genuinely feasible before any planning investment is made.

  • If it is intact and level, usually yes. Original hex tile in a Kingfield bungalow is irreplaceable — new versions never look quite the same. We assess the condition at the first visit and give an honest recommendation.
  • Yes — a ceiling-mounted shower arm with a frameless curtain rod gives the tub full shower functionality without changing its character. If the tub is being replaced, we plan the shower enclosure around the new layout.
  • Often yes, though it requires creative planning in a compact floor plan. We assess every feasible option — borrowed bedroom space, closet conversions, hallway reorganization — and present only what is genuinely buildable given the drain path and floor plan geometry.
  • A hall bath rebuild runs $28,000 to $60,000. A primary suite addition runs $48,000 to $90,000. We give a specific written range at the first consultation.
  • Three to five weeks of planning, then four to eight weeks on site. We give a specific timeline before you sign anything.
