Spa-Style Baths

Bathroom Remodeling in Tarzana

Master baths, powder rooms and full bathroom renovations across Tarzana and the greater Los Angeles area.

Spa-style bathroom remodeling in Tarzana and Los Angeles. From master-bath gut renovations to compact powder-room refreshes, our bathrooms combine luxury materials (honed travertine, brushed brass, frameless glass, freestanding tubs) with the layouts and waterproofing that make them last.

One in-house team handles tile setting, plumbing, electrical, vanity carpentry, glass and finish work, so the rough-ins match the fixtures and the grout lines match the floor. Every wet wall and shower pan is membrane-waterproofed, with no exceptions, because the most expensive callback in this trade is bad waterproofing.

We design and build bathrooms for homeowners across Tarzana, Encino, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, Calabasas and the wider LA area, all on our six-step design-build process. Planning a project? See how long a bathroom remodel takes.

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs

What Tarzana and LA homeowners want to know before they remodel a bath.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

A standard master-bath remodel runs 5–9 weeks. Powder rooms are usually 3–4 weeks. Spa-style baths with steam, heated floors and complex tile work can run 10–12 weeks. You get a written schedule before demo day.

What does a bathroom remodel cost in Tarzana?

Most of our master baths land between $25,000 and $100,000. Material choices drive the spread: natural stone vs porcelain tile, freestanding tub, custom shower glass and plumbing brand. We itemize every line so trade-offs are visible.

Can you do walk-in showers without curbs?

Yes, curbless walk-in showers are one of our most-requested upgrades. We slope the substrate, waterproof correctly and install linear drains so the floor flows continuously from the bath into the shower.

Do you waterproof under the tile?

Always. We membrane-waterproof every wet wall and pan, regardless of jurisdiction requirements. Failed waterproofing is the most expensive callback in this trade and we will not skip it.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel?

Plumbing, electrical and structural changes require permits. Cosmetic-only refreshes (paint, fixtures, vanity swap) often do not. We pull every permit your scope needs and schedule inspections so the project signs off cleanly.

What is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel?

The most expensive part of a bathroom remodel is usually the shower. Tile, waterproofing, custom glass and valves add up quickly, and moving the drain or toilet adds plumbing and permit work. Stone tile and a freestanding tub also push the cost up. Labor is a large share too, because tile setting and waterproofing take skilled hands and time. Keeping the plumbing in place is the best way to control the budget.

What to avoid when renovating a bathroom?

When renovating a bathroom, avoid skipping waterproofing, installing a weak exhaust fan and picking tile before you plan the layout. Other common mistakes are too little storage, one overhead light, glossy floor tile that gets slippery and a vanity that blocks the door. Order fixtures early too, since a backordered valve or vanity can stall the job for weeks.

In what order should I renovate a bathroom?

You should renovate a bathroom in this order: plan the layout and pick fixtures, get the permit, then demolish. Plumbing and electrical rough-in come next, followed by the inspection, backer board and a waterproof membrane. Tile goes in after the membrane is tested. Then the vanity, toilet, fixtures and shower glass are installed, and paint, mirrors and accessories finish the job. Glass is measured last, after the tile is set.

What makes a bathroom look outdated?

A bathroom looks outdated when it has a tub and shower combo with a curtain, beige or speckled tile, a cultured marble vanity top, shiny 1990s brass or a single light bar over the mirror. Small tiles with wide grout lines date a room quickly too. A walk-in shower with frameless glass, larger tiles, a floating vanity and warm, layered lighting makes the same space feel current.
