Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom remodeling built to stay dry inside the wall
A bathroom fails silently. By the time a homeowner sees a stain on the ceiling below, water has been moving through the framing for months. Nearly every failed shower we're called to look at failed at the waterproofing, not the tile.
So we build the assembly first and the pretty part second: sloped substrate, bonded waterproofing membrane, correctly lapped corners and curbs, flood test, then tile. It adds a day. It saves a demolition.
Typical timeline
A guest bath is usually three to five weeks on site; a primary suite with slab walls and custom millwork runs five to eight. Stone fabrication and glass are the two items that most often set the finish date.

What's included
The scope, in plain terms
Showers and wet areas
Curbless and linear-drain showers, mortar beds with correct slope, bonded sheet or liquid membranes, flood testing before a single tile goes on.
Tile and stone
Large-format porcelain, slab shower walls, book-matched stone, mitered edges, niches and benches built into the framing rather than stuck on afterwards.
Vanities and millwork
Custom vanity cabinetry, stone tops, integrated or undermount basins, medicine cabinets recessed into the wall, and wall-mount fixtures on proper in-wall carriers.
Plumbing
Valve and drain relocation, pressure-balanced and thermostatic valves, freestanding tub supplies, and replacement of the old galvanized or brittle lines we find once the wall is open.
Ventilation and comfort
Properly sized exhaust fans ducted to the outside — not into the attic — heated floors, towel warmers and dedicated lighting circuits.
Accessibility
Zero-threshold entries, blocking for future grab bars, wider door openings and comfort-height fixtures when you're planning to stay in the house.
Questions
What homeowners ask about bathroom remodeling
How long will I be without the bathroom?+
For the whole on-site period. If it's your only full bath, say so at the walkthrough — we can phase the work or prioritize getting one fixture back in service sooner.
Is a curbless shower a good idea in an older Valley house?+
Often yes, but it depends on the floor framing. It needs depth for the slope and drain. We check the joists before promising it, rather than discovering the problem mid-demo.
Do you replace the plumbing behind the walls?+
When we open a wall and find failing supply lines, we tell you and price the replacement. It is much cheaper to do it while the wall is open than in two years.
We work in Woodland Hills, Calabasas, Tarzana, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Studio City and the surrounding communities. See the full service area.
