Demo and haul-away
We remove the old tub, tile, vanity, toilet, and drywall, then haul it all off. Floors and doorways get protected first. If we find mold or rot behind the walls, we stop, show you photos, and quote the repair before continuing.

About this service
Bathroom remodeling Los Angeles CA done right
Bathroom remodeling Los Angeles CA is the trade of removing old finishes, repairing the plumbing and framing behind them, and rebuilding the room with waterproof materials that survive daily steam and splashing. A real remodel touches everything: cement backer board, a waterproof membrane over the shower pan, new PEX piping or copper supply lines, ABS drain pipe, a vanity cabinet, a low-flow toilet, and a shower valve set behind the wall. We keep the water off only as long as the work demands.
Los Angeles homes need this more than most. Much of the housing stock dates to the 1920s through the 1970s, so behind the tile you often find galvanized steel pipe, cast iron drains, and framing softened by decades of slow leaks. Add our dry summers and sudden winter rain, and a cracked shower pan becomes a mold problem fast. That is why we treat every bathroom renovation job in Los Angeles as a water-management project first and a tile project second. We also handle full Bathroom remodeling services in Los Angeles CA for homeowners who want one crew from demolition through final caulk.

What's included
What our bathroom remodel includes
Every Bathroom remodeling Los Angeles CA project we run covers demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile, and final fixture set. Haul-away is included in the job. Upgrades like heated floors, a freestanding tub, or custom glass are quoted as add-ons so you can choose what matters to you.
Plumbing and electrical rough-in
New PEX or copper supply lines, ABS drain pipe, and a code-correct shower valve. We add GFCI outlets, a vent fan sized for the room, and task lighting. Rough work gets inspected before the walls close.
Waterproofing system
Cement backer board, taped seams, and a bonded waterproof membrane across the shower pan and walls. Before installing bathroom flooring, we conduct a shower pan flood test when required to check for leaks. The test is maintained for the required period, typically 24 hours under applicable California plumbing code requirements, and the results can be documented with photos and project notes. This is the step that prevents the mold and ceiling stains we get called to fix.
Tile and stone finishes
Porcelain tile, ceramic tile, glass mosaic, or natural stone set with thinset mortar over a laser-level check. Grout lines run true, corners get silicone caulk, and we seal the grout before we hand the room back.
Fixtures and final set
Vanity cabinet, quartz or stone countertop, low-flow toilet, shower trim, and frameless glass. We test every valve and drain before the walkthrough.

How it works
How our bathroom remodel process runs
On-site estimate and room check
We walk the bathroom with you, measure, and check under the sink and behind the toilet for soft floors or old pipe. You get a written estimate that separates cosmetic work from work the room needs, and you decide with no pressure.
Scope, selections, and permit questions
If the layout, plumbing, or electrical changes, permit questions are confirmed before work begins. You pick tile, grout, fixtures, and vanity, and we confirm measurements and order materials so the job is ready when work starts.
Demo and rough-in
We protect the hallway, lay drop cloths, and tear out the old tub, tile, and vanity. Then we open the walls, replace failing supply lines and drain pipe, and correct any framing rot, and the rough plumbing and electrical work is checked before anything closes back up.
Waterproofing and tile
Cement backer board goes up, seams get taped and mudded, and a waterproof membrane covers the shower pan and walls before tile. Tile is set true, grout is sealed, and silicone caulk goes at every change of plane.
Final set and walkthrough
The vanity, countertop, toilet, trim, and glass go in and every valve and drain is tested. We walk the room with you, note any punch items, and hand over the written workmanship warranty.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Wet tile saw
Cuts porcelain and natural stone with a water-cooled blade so edges stay chip-free and dust stays down. Essential for large-format tile and precise around valves and drains.
Oscillating multi-tool
Cuts drywall, backer board, and old caulk in tight corners without damaging adjacent surfaces. The go-to for clean cutouts around plumbing stub-outs.
Laser level
Sets a true horizontal line for tile courses, vanity height, and shower niche placement. Keeps grout lines running straight across a whole wall.
Plumber's snake
Clears clogs in the drain line before we close up the wall. Cheaper to fix now than to reopen a finished shower later.
Grout float and notched trowel
The notched trowel controls thinset mortar depth; the float packs grout into joints evenly. Together they give you full coverage and a flat, uniform surface.
Caulk gun
Applies silicone caulk at every change of plane, where grout would crack. A clean bead at the floor and corners keeps water out of the wall.
Problems we solve
Problems our bathroom remodels solve
Most calls we get start with a smell, a stain, or a wobble. Here are the bathroom problems Los Angeles homeowners ask us to fix, and what happens if you wait.
Ask a pro →Leaky shower pan soaking the subfloor
We remove the old pan, replace damaged subfloor and framing, then build a new sloped pan with a waterproof membrane and flood-test it before tile. The test is maintained for the required period, typically 24 hours under applicable California plumbing code requirements.
Cracked tile and failing grout
We strip the failing tile, check the backer board for moisture, and rebuild with cement backer board, new thinset mortar, and sealed grout. If the substrate is sound we can sometimes re-tile over it and save you money.
Outdated plumbing and low water pressure
We replace supply lines with PEX or copper, swap the shower valve, and clear or replace clogged drain pipe. Pressure and temperature stabilize, and you stop waiting on a failure.
Poor ventilation and mildew
We size and install a proper vent fan ducted to the exterior, not the attic. Combined with a waterproof membrane and sealed grout, the room stays dry between showers.
Scope levels
What Shapes the Cost of a Bathroom Remodel in Los Angeles?
The cost of a bathroom remodel follows the scope of the work. The three levels below describe the common scope levels for a bathroom remodel in Los Angeles, and the exact cost for your bathroom comes from a free written estimate after a visit to see the room.
Cosmetic Refresh
A cosmetic refresh updates what you see and touch every day: new fixtures, a swapped vanity, fresh tile, updated lighting, and paint. The layout stays exactly as it is, and no plumbing moves. It suits a bathroom that still works well but looks dated.
Get a free written estimate →Functional Upgrade
A functional upgrade replaces the full tile field, renews the shower or tub, upgrades the vanity, and fits updated plumbing fixtures with better ventilation. Minor layout adjustments can be part of the plan where the room allows. It suits a bathroom that needs to work harder for the household using it.
Get a free written estimate →Full-Gut Rebuild
A full-gut rebuild takes the room back to the studs and starts over: new plumbing runs, electrical upgrades, custom tile, high-end fixtures, heated floors, and custom glass enclosures. The layout is redrawn around how the room should work. Older homes often call for this level of work, because what sits behind the walls matters as much as the finishes.

Cost factors for bathroom remodeling in Los Angeles
What shapes the cost
| the size of the room |
| how much of the layout changes |
| whether plumbing or electrical work moves |
| the tile and fixtures you choose |
| what we find behind the walls once the old finishes come out |
A room that keeps its layout and swaps like-for-like fixtures is a different job from one that moves drains, rebuilds the shower, and changes the footprint, and the written estimate shows which one yours is.
Every job starts with a free written estimate after we see the room, so the scope and the price are in writing before any work begins.

The cost depends on the size of the room, how much of the layout changes, whether plumbing or electrical work moves, the tile and fixtures you choose, and what we find behind the walls. That is why every job starts with a free written estimate after we see the room: you get the scope and the price in writing before any work begins, and we explain the cost in detail on the call. When you compare quotes, compare the scope line by line: one quote may price a finish as fixed while another holds it as an allowance that can change later.
Bathroom remodeling includes demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in, backer board and a waterproof membrane, tile or stone finishes, a vanity cabinet, countertop, toilet, shower valve, and glass or curtain. Add-ons like a freestanding tub or a curbless shower are quoted separately, so you can see the cost of each upgrade in writing.
Whether a permit is needed depends on the scope of the work and the city your home is in (in the City of Los Angeles, that is the Department of Building and Safety; other cities have their own building departments, and unincorporated areas go through Los Angeles County) Work that moves plumbing, electrical, or structure is the kind that usually needs one, while a like-for-like swap often does not. We confirm what your bathroom remodeling job needs before work begins, so there are no surprises. If you own a condo, your homeowners association's approval is separate from a city permit, so bring your HOA's rules to the free written estimate.
How long a bathroom remodel takes depends on the scope, the size of the room, and the selections you make. Your written estimate sets out the schedule before work begins, so you know the plan before demolition starts, and the scope you approve is the scope we build to.
Look for a remodeler who puts the scope in writing, explains how the wet areas will be waterproofed, and gives you the warranty in writing. Ask to see a job in progress, read recent local reviews, and compare written estimates line by line before you decide. We are happy to answer those questions on your estimate call.
Start with the layout and what you actually store. A recessed shower niche, vanity and cabinet storage planned around your daily items, and vertical storage on an empty wall usually gain more usable space than a bigger footprint. Lighting and a large mirror help a small room feel open. A free written estimate will walk the room with you and plan the storage before work starts.
Use the vent fan during every shower and for a while afterwards — your new fan is ducted to the exterior, not the attic. Keep the grout sealed and the silicone caulk intact at corners and changes of plane, and wipe down wet surfaces after showers. Check the caulk and grout now and then; if caulk pulls away, cracks, or discolors, have it looked at before water gets behind the tile.
