Headquartered in West Jordan (84088), Urban Design & Remodel led by Grant Helmer (Utah DOPL #10146123-5501, (801) 440-1952) completes full gut-to-studs hall bathroom remodels for $14,200–$22,800 and custom primary bath renovations for $25,500–$48,000 across 84084 and 84088. Every bath includes Schluter-KERDI waterproofing, hard-water-resistant EnduroShield glass, quartz vanities, and City of West Jordan code compliance.
Homeowners across West Jordan—from 1978 split-levels in Westbrook and Jordan Oaks to 2002 two-story family homes in Copper Hills and Oquirrh Shadows—share two daily bathroom frustrations: cramped builder layouts built with yellowed cultured-marble surrounds over raw drywall, and 14 to 18 grains-per-gallon (GPG) hard Jordan Valley municipal water crusting chrome valves and etching glass doors. Based locally in West Jordan (84088), Principal General Contractor Grant Helmer and Urban Design & Remodel strip tired bathrooms down to clean framing to build vapor-tight porcelain showers, custom soft-close vanities, and warm DITRA-HEAT floors in 2 to 3 weeks.
Modernizing Jordan Oaks Split-Levels & Copper Hills Master Suites
West Jordan's two dominant housing waves call for tailored remodeling engineering. In 1975–1992 84084 split-entries and ramblers, upstairs main bathrooms often share a tight 5x8 or 6x9 footprint with a 32-inch vanity, low 7-foot tub soffit, and single ungrounded outlet—while downstairs basement baths suffer from sluggish 1.5-inch drains and freezing slab floors. Out in 1995–2008 84088 Copper Hills and Oquirrh Shadows homes, cavernous master bathrooms waste half the floor on unused 42x60 carpeted or tile-deck garden tubs paired with cramped 36x36 plastic Neo-angle shower stalls. We reclaim those dead corners for expansive 60-inch+ frameless porcelain showers and furniture-grade double vanities.
- Elimination of cramped 36" plastic stalls + unused garden tubs in Copper Hills primary suites
- Soffit removal and full-height porcelain tile surrounds opening up 84084 split-level hall baths
- Replacement of 1980s polybutylene or corroded shutoff valves with expansion PEX-A & brass stops
Beating West Jordan's 14–18 GPG Hard Water with Non-Porous Finishes
West Jordan's culinary water blended from Jordan Valley Water Conservancy pipelines and local wells carries 14 to 18 GPG of calcium hardness (240–310 ppm)—meaning porous natural limestone or Carrara marble etches dull within months and cheap sand-grouted 4x4 tile collects stubborn white scale. We design every West Jordan bathroom specifically for effortless hard-water maintenance: rectified large-format 12x24 or 24x48 glazed porcelain wall slabs, stain-proof single-component urethane or epoxy grout that never needs sealing, non-porous 3cm quartz countertops, solid-brass PVD fixtures, and 3/8-inch frameless glass factory-treated with hydrophobic EnduroShield.
- EnduroShield hydrophobic 3/8-inch tempered glass slashing hard-water mineral spotting by 90%
- Zero-maintenance 3cm quartz vanity tops, shower curb caps, bench tops, and niche sills
- High-performance polymer/epoxy grouts impervious to calcium crusting and soap scum
Schluter-KERDI Sealed Waterproofing & DITRA-HEAT Warm Tile Floors
In West Jordan split-levels where the upstairs bathroom cantilevers over the front entry or sits above the garage ceiling, subfloors plunge into the 50s every winter—and any shower pan leak immediately ruins the downstairs foyer ceiling. Before setting a single tile, we wrap shower walls, niches, and pre-sloped pans in 100% vapor-tight Schluter-KERDI membrane and run a 24-hour plugged flood test. Across the main bathroom floor, we install Schluter-DITRA-HEAT uncoupling mats laced with electric radiant heating cables on a Wi-Fi smart thermostat, keeping morning floor tiles a cozy 82°F while isolating porcelain from wood joist movement.
- 24-hour flood-tested Schluter-KERDI shower pans protecting finished rooms below
- Programmable 120V/240V DITRA-HEAT radiant floors warming cold over-garage and slab baths
- Laser-plumbed wall studs ensuring razor-flat large-format tile alignment with zero lippage
West Jordan Building & Safety Code Compliance & Pre-Staged Speed
Nothing drags out a home remodel worse than tearing out your shower on Monday and discovering on Thursday that the mixing valve or vanity is backordered four weeks. Because our staging shop sits right here in West Jordan 84088, we receive and inspect your tile, custom cabinetry, quartz slab, Kohler/Delta rough-ins, and Panasonic exhaust fan before demolition day ever starts. When plumbing relocations, 2-inch shower drain upgrades, or new 20-amp GFCI/AFCI circuits trigger City of West Jordan Building & Safety permits, Grant Helmer coordinates rough-in and final inspections seamlessly.
- 100% materials pre-staged locally in West Jordan 84088 prior to Day 1 demolition
- Dedicated 20A NEC bathroom vanity circuits + <0.8-sone exterior-vented exhaust fans
- Clean daily HEPA dust control and direct oversight by Principal GC Grant Helmer

Grant Helmer's Utah Field Pro-Tip (DOPL #10146123-5501)
In 1990s–2000s West Jordan two-stories west of Bangerter Highway, builders frequently vented upstairs bathroom fans into the soffit overhang instead of through the roof—where warm steam gets sucked straight back up the soffit vents into the attic! We always reroute bath exhausts through a dedicated dampered steel roof hood.
Frequently Asked Questions: Bathroom Remodeling West Jordan Ut
Can you remove our Copper Hills corner jetted tub and expand the small shower?
Yes—that is our single most requested primary bath remodel in 84088! Removing the 5x5 tiled tub deck lets us either build a massive 6-foot dual-head walk-in porcelain shower with a heated bench, or fit both a sleek freestanding soaking tub and a larger frameless shower.
How do you protect stairs and carpets in a West Jordan split-level during demo?
We lay heavy adhesive surface shields or Rosin/Ram Board runners from your front door up the split-entry stairs, seal the bathroom doorway with a zippered dust barrier, and run negative-air HEPA filtration during cast-iron or tile demolition.
Do I need a water softener before remodeling my West Jordan bathroom?
While our EnduroShield glass, PVD brass faucets, and quartz surfaces resist 14–18 GPG hard water remarkably well on their own, adding a whole-home ion-exchange softener in your basement mechanical room (if your home isn't pre-looped, we can plumb one!) keeps showerheads flowing like new indefinitely.
Why hire a West Jordan General Contractor instead of a handyman for a bath remodel?
Utah DOPL law requires licensed contracting for structural, plumbing, electrical, and multi-trade remodeling scopes above statutory thresholds. Hiring local GC Grant Helmer (#10146123-5501) ensures code-legal 2-inch drains, GFCI circuits, flood-tested waterproofing, and protected resale disclosures.
