Bathrooms are more than functional spaces-they are daily retreats that can set the tone for your home. For the discerning homeowner in Fort Collins, Loveland, Boulder, and throughout Northern Colorado, a bathroom remodel is more than a home improvement—it is a deeply personal investment in your daily ritual. At Forge & Bow, we believe these private sanctuaries demand the same level of architectural intentionality and master craftsmanship as a custom estate or a meticulous historic restoration . Led by a collaborative team of architects and designers, our integrated design-build approach ensures your vision moves seamlessly from concept to completion. By uniting sophisticated design with hands-on construction management, we eliminate the communication gaps and compromises often found when working with separate entities. Whether you are seeking to transform a primary suite into a serene spa-like retreat, design a custom walk-in shower, or undertake a full-scale gut renovation, we guide every selection, from layout and lighting to the finest artisanal finishes, with clarity, precision, and care.
Whether it’s your primary bathroom, a guest bath, or a powder room — every bathroom in your home deserves thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship. As a dedicated bathroom remodeling contractor, we specialize in full-service bathroom redesigns that balance high-end aesthetics with lasting function.
A well-designed bathroom adds measurable value to your home while serving the people who use it every day. We approach every project as a custom build, tailored to how you live — not to what’s trending on a mood board.
Integrating a new bathroom to an existing floor plan requires a delicate balance of architectural expertise and structural coordination — and our team manages every complexity, from permitting to structural design, ensuring the new space feels like an original part of your home. When your project demands more than a surface-level update, a full gut renovation and structural reimagining allows for a complete architectural rebirth, transforming outdated layouts into thoughtfully designed spaces that honor your home’s heritage while meeting modern standards.
PHASE 01
Forge & Bow will take a progressive approach to the design of your project. Starting with an initial meeting to better understand your personal aesthetic and goals, our designers will substantiate current conditions and measurements to ensure accuracy of the design. Additionally, a study of your personal style will be conducted (often through the sharing of visuals) to direct the design motif.
From there, the design will progress step by step; first starting with general layouts and concepts and slowly progressing through the details. You can expect several meetings in order to ensure that the design is meeting your functional and aesthetic goals. Upon the completion of the design, we will update the estimate to account for your design choices, offering Value Engineering if the estimate isn’t the right value.
PHASE 02
This phase is where we bring in our trusted trade partners for bids, allowing us to give you a final, fixed cost for your project. After receiving your non-refundable construction deposit, we will host a trade day at your property, allowing each relevant trade to inspect the house, ensuring accuracy in our numbers. Once the estimation is compiled, we will host a final Summit meeting where you are able to review your final design decisions and be presented with your final fixed cost budget. You will then be issued an amendment to the contract introducing the current design documents, as well as the budget. Lastly, we will create the Construction Documents needed for our Construction Team, and amend the contract with these as well.
PHASE 03
Time to build! During construction, our Project Managers provide full support, overseeing budget, schedule, and quality. Our Designers handle Construction Administration to ensure every detail we envisioned together comes to life. Once complete, we hand over your finished project – ready for years of enjoyment and memories.
Forge & Bow is headquartered in Fort Collins at 120 W. Olive Street and serves homeowners throughout Northern Colorado and the greater Front Range. Our bathroom remodeling projects span Fort Collins, Loveland, Boulder, Windsor, Timnath, Longmont, Greeley, Erie, Broomfield, Westminster, Arvada, Brighton, and surrounding communities.

The greatest value comes from thoughtful design and functional flow, ensuring the space works seamlessly for your needs. Using high-quality, reputable plumbing fixtures and materials also adds long-term value. Additionally, natural light is often underestimated-it can dramatically enhance the sense of space, ambiance, and overall enjoyment of the bathroom.
