Bathroom Remodeling

Bathrooms are small rooms where the expensive mistakes are invisible. Nearly every failed bathroom we are called to rebuild failed at the waterproofing behind the tile, not at the tile itself. Hollywood Contractor Corp is a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1092628) remodeling bathrooms across Los Angeles County, including Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, and North Hollywood. We open the walls, check the framing and the plumbing, install a proper waterproofing system, and set tile over a substrate that will still be dry in fifteen years. Accessible and curbless showers, ventilation that actually clears moisture, and finishes chosen to suit the room are all part of the work.

Layouts and finishes tailored to your style, daily routine, and the way you want your bathroom to feel.

Premium tile, stone, fixtures, and vanities built to stand up to moisture and daily use for decades.

Licensed contractors (Lic. #1092628) and skilled tradespeople delivering precision on every detail.

Custom Tile & Shower Design

A beautifully tiled shower or bath surround sets the tone for the entire space. We design and install custom tile work — from classic subway patterns to large-format stone slabs — with the waterproofing and precision grouting that makes it last.

  • Walk-in and curbless shower conversions
  • Floor-to-ceiling tile surround installation
  • Steam showers and frameless glass enclosures
  • Niche shelving and built-in bench seating
  • Custom mosaic accents and feature walls

Vanities, Countertops & Storage

The right vanity anchors the bathroom and sets the style. We design storage solutions that keep the space clutter-free and specify countertops and finishes that look stunning and hold up to daily use.

  • Custom and semi-custom vanity cabinetry
  • Single and double-sink configurations
  • Quartz, marble, and stone countertops
  • Medicine cabinets and recessed storage
  • Floating vanities and modern hardware

Layouts & Space Planning

If your bathroom feels cramped, dark, or poorly laid out, a layout change can transform everything. We handle structural modifications, plumbing relocations, and permits so you can finally get the bathroom your home deserves.

  • Tub-to-shower and shower-to-tub conversions
  • Bathroom additions and expansions
  • Plumbing relocation and wet wall work
  • Permit handling and structural coordination
  • ADA-compliant and accessibility upgrades

Fixtures, Lighting & Finishes

Great bathrooms are defined by the details — the warmth of the lighting, the feel of the hardware, the finish on the floor. We coordinate with electricians, plumbers, and designers so every element comes together exactly as planned.

  • Rainfall and multi-function shower systems
  • Soaking tubs and freestanding tubs
  • Vanity, recessed, and accent lighting
  • Heated tile floors and towel warmers
  • Designer plumbing fixtures and hardware finishes

How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost?

Bathroom remodels in Los Angeles run roughly $15,000 to $60,000+. The size of the room matters far less than whether the plumbing moves.

Scope of work Typical LA range What it covers
Guest / powder room $8,000 – $18,000 Vanity, toilet, flooring, lighting, and paint in a small room.
Standard full bathroom $18,000 – $35,000 Full gut, new tub or shower, tile, vanity, fixtures, and ventilation.
Primary suite bathroom $35,000 – $75,000+ Larger footprint, custom tile, double vanity, and a frameless glass shower.
Layout change +$5,000 – $15,000 Relocating drains and supply lines — the most expensive change you can make.
Accessibility conversion $12,000 – $30,000 Curbless shower, grab bars, widened door, and a comfort-height vanity.

Waterproofing is not where to save money. Nearly every failed bathroom we are called in to rebuild failed behind the tile, not at it — and rebuilding costs several times what doing it properly would have.

Tub or Shower?

A question worth settling early, because it affects plumbing, waterproofing, and resale.

Keep or add a tub

  • Young children in the household
  • It is the only bathtub in the home
  • Resale in a family neighbourhood
  • You genuinely use baths
  • A tub-shower combination suits the space

Go shower-only

  • A primary suite where a second tub exists
  • Accessibility is a current or future concern
  • The room is tight and a tub dominates it
  • You have not taken a bath in years
  • You want a larger, more usable shower

General guidance: keep at least one tub somewhere in the house for resale.

Waterproofing Systems Compared

This is the decision that determines whether your bathroom lasts five years or twenty-five. It is invisible once tiled.

Option Best for Expected life Relative cost
Sheet membrane Showers and wet areas 25+ years $$
Liquid-applied membrane Complex shapes and curbless 20+ years $$
Foam board system Fast, lightweight, reliable 25+ years $$
Cement board alone Not waterproof by itself $
Green board / drywall Never acceptable in a wet area Fails $

If a bid does not state which waterproofing system is included, ask. Cement board on its own is not waterproof, and green board in a shower is a failure waiting to happen.

What to Expect During the Project

A full bathroom remodel takes about 3 to 6 weeks on site. Tile and glass are usually what set the pace.

Stage Typical timing What happens
Design & selections 1–3 weeks Layout, tile, fixtures, and vanity all chosen before anything is ordered.
Demolition 1–2 days Stripped to studs and subfloor so framing and plumbing can be inspected.
Rough-in 3–5 days Plumbing, electrical, and ventilation, followed by inspection.
Waterproofing 2–3 days Membrane installed and, where appropriate, flood-tested before tiling.
Tile & finishes 1–2 weeks Tile set and grouted, vanity and fixtures installed, paint completed.
Glass & punch list 1–2 weeks Shower glass is templated after tiling, so it is usually the final item.

Custom shower glass is templated only once the tile is finished, then takes one to two weeks to fabricate. It is very often the last thing holding up completion.

How to Choose a Contractor

Bathroom remodeling work is largely invisible once it is finished, which is exactly why standards vary so widely. A few things reliably separate a proper job from an expensive patch.

Good signs

  • An active CSLB licence you can verify online
  • A written, itemised, fixed-price scope
  • They explain the cause, not just the fix
  • Realistic timelines rather than optimistic ones
  • A workmanship warranty in writing
  • The waterproofing system is named in the bid
  • They flood-test wet areas before tiling

Warning signs

  • A quote given without a proper site visit
  • Pressure to sign today for a discount
  • Large cash deposits up front
  • The same solution proposed for every home
  • Vague allowances instead of fixed pricing
  • Green board or bare cement board proposed in a shower

Hollywood Contractor Corp holds CSLB licence #1092628 — verify it, and any contractor you are considering, with the California State License Board.


Bathroom Remodeling FAQs

How much does a bathroom remodel cost?

A bathroom remodel typically ranges from about $12,000 for a guest-bath refresh to $45,000+ for a primary-suite or fully custom bathroom, depending on size, tile, fixtures, and whether the layout changes. You get a fixed-bid estimate up front.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

Most bathroom remodels take about 3 to 6 weeks of construction after design and permits are complete. Larger primary baths or layout changes take longer. We give you a clear schedule before we start.

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom?

Cosmetic updates usually do not, but moving plumbing or electrical, or changing the layout, does. We handle all required permits and inspections for you.

Can you convert my tub into a walk-in shower?

Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most popular upgrades — we can build a curbless, walk-in, or zero-threshold shower with custom tile and frameless glass.

How do you prevent mold and water damage?

Proper waterproofing is critical. We install the right membranes, backer board, slope, and ventilation behind the tile so your bathroom stays dry and durable for the long term.

Will I be able to use my bathroom during the remodel?

That bathroom will be out of service during construction. If it is your only one, we sequence the work to minimize downtime; many homeowners use a second bathroom in the meantime.

What is involved in a primary (master) bathroom remodel?

Primary baths often include a double vanity, a custom walk-in shower, a freestanding tub, heated floors, and upgraded lighting and storage. We design the layout around how you actually use the space.

Do you build accessible or aging-in-place bathrooms?

Yes. We build curbless showers, grab-bar blocking, comfort-height fixtures, and slip-resistant tile for safe, stylish aging-in-place bathrooms.

Do you provide design and 3D renderings?

Yes. Our design-build process includes layout planning, tile and fixture selections, and 3D renderings before construction begins.

How do I get started?

Start with a free in-home consultation. We assess your space, talk through your goals and budget, and give you a written, fixed-bid estimate before any work begins.
