Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Eagan?

Yes — a city building permit plus plumbing and mechanical permits, applied for through Eagan's online portal, with the electrical permit coming from the State and inspected by the State Electrical Inspector. Permits must be paid before work begins or inspections can be scheduled, and a project is not complete until a city inspector approves the final.

What are Eagan's safety glazing rules for bathrooms?

Any glazing installed within a bathing area less than 5 feet above the drain must be safety glazed. In practice that covers a window inside a tub or shower surround and most of the ones immediately beside it — a detail that decides whether an existing window can stay when a tub becomes a walk-in shower. Glass within 24 inches of either side of a door and glazing within 18 inches of the floor also has to be safety glass.

What happens if you find water damage in my Eagan bathroom?

We tell you, and Eagan has a stated process for it. The city asks that you call 651-675-5675 to schedule a site visit so an inspector can verify the extent of the damage. Any repairs must be inspected before they are covered, and the inspector determines whether an additional permit is required. It is the right way to handle it and it is what we do — a wall quietly closed over rot is a problem deferred to the next owner.

Can you update a 1990s Eagan bathroom?

It is one of our most common projects here. The main baths in Eagan's 1980s and 1990s two-storeys tend to share a pattern: a builder-grade vanity, an alcove tub with a surround, a single fan that was the cheapest option available, and a layout that works but was never generous. The structure rarely needs anything. The gain comes from reworking the fixtures and the light, and often from converting the tub nobody uses.

Do you handle tile selection and installation?

Absolutely. We offer guidance on tile selection and install everything from large-format porcelain to classic subway tile and custom mosaics.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost?

Most bathroom remodels range from $15,000–$35,000 depending on the size of the space, fixture selections, and scope of work. We provide a detailed estimate before any work begins.

Can I use my home during a bathroom remodel?

Yes. If you have a second bathroom, you'll have full use of it throughout the project. We coordinate closely to minimize disruption.

Why Remodel

Why Eagan Homeowners
Remodel Their Bathroom

Eagan's housing market is defined by 1980s–1990s two-story homes and split-levels with enclosed layouts, soffits, and fluorescent lighting — all hallmarks of homes ready for a modern update. Bathrooms in these homes often feature the original fiberglass tub surrounds, dated tile, poor lighting, and limited storage from when they were built. Eagan homeowners remodel bathrooms to create a more comfortable daily experience, improve functionality for families, and boost resale appeal with modern, durable finishes.

Common challenges we solve:

Aging tile and worn fixtures, fiberglass tub surrounds, inadequate ventilation, poor storage, and cramped layouts are the most common bathroom challenges we address.

Burnsville, MN

A Brighter, More Open Primary Bathroom in Burnsville

Built in 2001, this Burnsville home had a dated primary bathroom anchored by a bulky corner tub. Honey-Doers replaced it with a freestanding soaking tub, Pisa Gold tile, custom poplar cabinetry with Statuario Wave quartz, a wall-to-wall shower niche, and layered lighting — completed in 11 weeks with no major surprises.

Rosemount, MN

A Safer, More Functional Primary Bathroom in Rosemount

Built in 2004, this Rosemount home had a primary bathroom that no longer made good use of its footprint. Honey-Doers removed the soaking tub for a safer walk-in shower, added a quartz-topped storage bench, and built a custom oak double vanity with a coordinating linen cabinet — completed in 13 weeks spanning the holiday season.

Bathroom Remodeling by Neighborhood

We know Eagan's neighborhoods — and we bring that local knowledge to every project.

Cedar Grove

One of the first large-scale residential developments in the city, and still the place where a remodel meets Eagan's oldest housing rather than its subdivisions. Kitchens here were built closed off from everything else, so the work is usually structural before it is decorative.

Blackhawk Lake

Wooded, sloping lots where walkout and lookout lower levels are the norm. A walkout already has the daylight and the exit a standard basement has to manufacture, which is why finishing one here reliably returns more than the same spend upstairs.

Lexington and Diffley

Central Eagan's 1980s and 1990s two-storeys and splits — the houses the city grew for. Soffited kitchens, an oversized formal dining room nobody uses, and a main bath untouched since it was built are the pattern we see most often on this side of town.

Pilot Knob

Established homes along the corridor that runs past the Municipal Center. Owners here tend to be second or third in the house and planning to stay, so the projects are larger in scope and longer in horizon — whole floors reworked rather than a single room refreshed.

Permits and Inspections for Bathroom Remodeling in Eagan

We pull the permits and coordinate the inspections. Here is what that involves in Eagan.

Where the permit comes from

Eagan's Building Inspections division at the Municipal Center, 3830 Pilot Knob Road, on 651-675-5675 or buildinginspections@cityofeagan.com. Eagan runs a paperless system — permit applications are accepted only through the online portal — and inspections are booked by phone or online. Two other numbers are worth having: Planning on 651-675-5685, because Eagan does not publish setbacks in its handouts and refers you there, and Water Resources on 651-675-5300 for stormwater. City phone numbers change from time to time — if any of these don't connect, cityofeagan.com/buildinginspections has the current ones.

How the process runs

Eagan draws a sharp line based on whether an opening changes. Replacing a window or door in its existing opening needs a permit but no plan review, and the permit can be issued the same day. Altering an opening does require plan review, and the submittal has to include the header size with the direction and span of the floor or roof framing above it — so a wall that is being opened up is engineered on paper before the permit issues. Allow 7 to 10 business days for that review. Eagan is also unusually specific about money and time: a permit covering two or more windows or doors is $135.65 including the state surcharge and a single same-sized unit is $65.75, while new openings are priced on valuation — and exterior work authorised by a building permit must be completed within 180 days of issuance. Electrical is not a city inspection here; electrical permits come through the state at dli.mn.gov and the State Electrical Inspector performs those inspections.

What bathroom remodeling specifically triggers

Two Eagan requirements shape bathroom work specifically. Any glazing installed within a bathing area less than 5 feet above the drain must be safety glazed, which covers most windows in a tub or shower surround and a good number of the ones beside them. And where water damage is found once things are open — common enough in a bathroom — Eagan asks that you call 651-675-5675 to schedule a site visit so the extent can be verified, with any repair inspected before it is covered and the inspector deciding whether an additional permit is needed. We would open that conversation rather than quietly close the wall.

Building conditions in Eagan

Eagan grew up twice. It was farmland first, and for a stretch of the early twentieth century it was the self-described onion capital of the world, a title that ended around 1930 when poor harvests and southern competition caught up with it. Then Interstate 494 arrived in the early 1970s, the village incorporated in 1972 and the city in 1974, and the corporate offices followed — Northwest Airlines put its headquarters here in the 1980s. The housing came with them. What we work on is overwhelmingly 1980s and 1990s two-storeys and split-levels built quickly for people moving in for jobs: sound structure, enclosed floor plans, soffited kitchens, and finishes that are simply of their decade. The terrain is the other variable. Eagan rolls, and the wooded lots around Blackhawk Lake and the city's lakes and ponds put a large share of homes on walkout or lookout lower levels, which changes what finishing one is worth. Dakota County sits in the state's Zone II for frost protection, and Eagan states it plainly: footings 42 inches or more below grade.

What Eagan Homeowners Are Saying

"From start to finish, Honey-Doers did a spectacular job of a complete redo of my master bath and updating to the master bedroom. Dan and his crew (especially Joe) were a joy to work with. Shelly and Dan did a fabulous job of guiding me through the fixture selection process. There was no dumpster in the driveway as all rubbish was removed daily (which I appreciated). I also received updates at the end of each day from Dan or Ryan. Project started and ended on schedule.I wouldn't hesitate to refer Honey-Doers and in fact, a neighbor and is about to embark on a master bath fix."

"I asked for an estimate from Honey Doers for a deck job on a recommendation of a friend and I was not disappointed. They promptly came and brought in e parts to help address problems I was having. They were prompt knowledgeable on time and showed up when they said they would. I always had communication with them and knew what was happening every step of the way. The quality of the deck is outstanding and I love it. I highly recommend Honey Doers"

"Honey Doers did a great job! I have never worked with a company that I felt valued my business as much as this one. Everyone was very nice, professional and followed through with each days schedule and everything to be done in a timely manner. My shower remodel from a plastic surround to a master bath luxury shower turned out amazing. I would highly recommend them. Before and after photos attached!"

Bathroom Remodeling · Lakeville

"Can't say enough good things about the Honey-Doers experience we just had. We did a complete remodel of our primary bathroom and it is perfect! We also did an upgrade to our laundry room - we didn't have a lot of space to work with, but they helped us make the most of the space we have. The work is impeccable and the communication and planning were top-notch. Special shout out to Shelly for keeping us informed on the daily and helping me with design when the decision fatigue was setting in!"
