Bathroom Remodeling - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Trusted Bathroom Remodeling Nationwide

A bathroom remodel typically costs $9,000 – $28,000 depending on square footage, material selection, and whether you are moving plumbing or keeping the existing footprint. That number covers everything from a mid-range cosmetic refresh to a full tear-out rebuild with premium fixtures. At Penhallow Remodeling, we put that price in writing before we pull a single tile, and we back the finished work with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No re-inspection fee, no service call, no argument. Call (936) 259-2607 and you will get a live person on the line, any hour, any day.

Bathroom Remodeling Contractor

A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor is a general contractor who manages the entire bathroom rebuild: demolition, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, tile, cabinetry, glass, and finish electrical. You need one when the job involves more than a single trade or any work inside walls and under floors. Penhallow Remodeling handles the full scope of our Bathroom Remodeling in Los Angeles and beyond, and every project starts with a written price, a defined arrival window, and a background-checked technician in uniform. A full bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000. Smaller spaces and cosmetic updates fall below that; relocating a toilet or adding a second sink pushes you toward the higher end.

Licensed, Insured, and Accountable

We are a state-licensed general contractor, insured and bonded, operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004. That means a written guarantee on every project, not a verbal promise that evaporates when the check clears. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed on every visit, so you know exactly who is walking into your home.

Written Price Before Demo Day

We do not give estimate ranges or verbal ballparks. You get a written number you can hold us to, and the number on day one is the number on the invoice. If you are comparing bathroom remodeling companies, ask each one whether the price changes after they open the wall. Ours does not.

Walk In Shower

A Walk In Shower is a curbless or low-threshold shower that eliminates the step over a tub wall, making the space safer and easier to enter. It is the right choice for homeowners who want easier access, a more open feel, or a modern look, and it becomes important when mobility or balance is a concern. Penhallow Remodeling builds walk-in showers on a properly sloped mortar bed with a waterproof membrane, which matters more than the tile you see. A walk-in shower installation typically runs $4,500 – $12,000 depending on size, glass, and whether we are converting an existing tub or building into open floor space.

Waterproofing Done the Right Way

The shower pan and wall substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) determine whether the shower leaks in six months or lasts thirty years. We install cement board and a sheet membrane behind every tile surface, then flood-test the pan before tile goes down. That is the part of the job you will never see, and it is the part that matters most.

Curbless Design and Accessibility

A true curbless entry requires dropping the subfloor or raising the surrounding floor to get the slope right. We have done enough of these to tell you honestly whether your floor structure will allow it or whether a low-profile threshold makes more sense. Either way, you get a shower you can walk into without stepping over anything.

Bathroom Remodeling Companies

Bathroom Remodeling Companies range from one-truck operations to national franchises, and the difference shows in pricing discipline, warranty terms, and who answers the phone. You need a company with a written guarantee and a track record of showing up when it said it would. Penhallow Remodeling, offering Bathroom Remodeling in Huntington Park and surrounding areas, is part of the Kingswell family of companies, operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004, and each location is independently owned and operated. Our bathroom remodels run $9,000 – $28,000, and every job includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

What Separates One Company From Another

Most homeowners have already been burned once, so they are not shopping for the cheapest bid. They are shopping for a company that answers the phone, arrives in the window it gave, and stands behind the work. That is the whole reason we put the price and the guarantee on paper before work starts, and why a live person answers calls 24/7.

Questions to Ask Before You Sign

Ask what happens if the shower pan cracks six months after the job is done. Ask whether the crew is background-checked. Ask whether the written price is fixed or subject to change orders. If the answer is vague, keep looking. If the answer is clear and written, you have found the right company.

Bathroom Renovation

A Bathroom Renovation means updating the space without necessarily changing the floor plan: new vanity, new countertop, new fixtures, new tile, new paint, new lighting, maybe a new toilet. You need it when the room functions but looks tired, or when the existing finish materials are failing. Penhallow Remodeling handles bathroom renovations from the first written estimate through the final walk-through, and a full renovation typically lands between $9,000 and $28,000. A small bathroom renovation can come in lower, around $5,000 – $12,000.

Fixtures and Finishes That Hold Up

We install fixtures from Kohler, Moen, Delta, and Grohe, and we will tell you honestly which ones are worth the money. A pressure-balanced shower valve is the minimum standard we will install because it prevents the scalding surprise when someone flushes a toilet. That is the kind of detail a written price should protect.

The Renovation Sequence, Explained

We start with the wet-area waterproofing and rough plumbing, then set tile and flooring, then cabinetry and counters, then fixtures and trim. The sequence matters because a contractor who tiles the walls before the waterproofing is done has just given you a future mold problem. Our process follows that order on every renovation, every time.

Small Bathroom Remodel

A Small Bathroom Remodel is a full update of a compact bathroom, typically a half bath, a guest bath, or a standard 5-by-7 main bath with limited square footage. You need it when the room is dated, cramped, or failing, but you do not have the space or budget for a full anatomy change. Penhallow Remodeling remodels small bathrooms for $5,000 – $12,000, and we treat the waterproofing and under-floor work with the same care as a $28,000 master bath because the water does not know how big the room is.

Getting More Out of a Small Footprint

In a small bathroom, the vanity height, door swing, and fixture placement matter more than anything you can buy at a design center. We often gain usable space by going to a wall-hung vanity or a sliding shower panel instead of a hinged glass door. Sometimes moving the toilet just three inches makes the whole room work better.

When a Small Bathroom Costs More Than You Expect

If the existing floor is out of level, or the walls hide corroded galvanized supply lines, the price goes up before the pretty part starts. Our written estimate covers what we can see and describes how we handle what we cannot. We will not surprise you after demolition, and if we open a wall and find something that needs attention, we stop and show you before we spend another dollar.

Shower Remodel

A Shower Remodel replaces or substantially reworks the shower enclosure, including the pan, walls, valve, and glass, while leaving the rest of the bathroom mostly intact. You need it when the shower leaks, the tile grout is failing, the glass is clouded, or the valve is failing behind the wall. Penhallow Remodeling replaces showers for $3,000 – $8,500 on average, and every shower remodel gets the same waterproofing standard and the same written, 365-day guarantee as a full bathroom build.

The Valve Behind the Wall

Most shower failures start at the mixing valve: the brass part inside the wall that controls temperature and flow. A failing valve can drip inside the cavity, and by the time you see the damage, the studs and subfloor are already wet. We replace the valve as part of any shower remodel where the wall is opened, not just the trim on the outside.

Tile, Grout, and Glass Choices

Large-format tile means fewer grout joints and less maintenance, but it requires a flatter substrate to avoid lippage (the raised edge where two tiles meet). Glass choices affect the final price more than almost anything else in a shower remodel. We will give you a written price for the options you choose, not a range that drifts upward as the job progresses.

Tub to Shower Conversion

A Tub to Shower Conversion removes the existing bathtub and builds a walk-in shower in the same footprint, which is often the most cost-effective way to improve access without adding square footage. You need it when the tub is rarely used, when stepping over the tub wall has become difficult, or when the tub itself is tired and stained beyond rescue. Penhallow Remodeling converts tubs to showers for $3,500 – $10,000 depending on the drain location, the wall condition, and the glass configuration.

Drain Location Controls the Price

The existing tub drain sits at one end of the tub, and a shower works best with the drain centered. Moving the drain means cutting into the subfloor and relocating plumbing, which adds cost. We will tell you at the estimate whether your drain stays put or moves, and the written price will reflect exactly that.

What the Old Tub Leaves Behind

Every tub removal reveals surprises: rotted subfloor, mold on the bottom plate, plumbing that does not meet current code. We treat that as a normal part of the job, not a reason to renegotiate. If the written price needs to change, we stop, show you the issue, and get your approval before we proceed. No surprises, no pressure.

One Day Bath Remodel

A One Day Bath Remodel is a streamlined approach that replaces the existing tub or shower surround and the fixture trim in a single day, without tearing out the full room. You choose this when the tub or shower is in bad shape, the layout is staying the same, and you want the disruption compressed into one workday. Penhallow Remodeling offers one day bath remodels for $3,500 – $10,000 depending on the surround material, the trim selection, and whether the valve needs replacement, and the work still carries the full 365-Day Done Right Promise.

What One Day Can and Cannot Do

One day is enough time to pull the old tub or surround, inspect and repair the substrate, install the new waterproof layer and wall panels, set the new tub or shower base, and trim out the fixture. It is not enough time to move a drain, relocate a wall, or build a custom tile shower with a mortar pan. If your job needs more, we will tell you that before you sign anything.

Who This Fits, Honestly

The homeowners who benefit most from a one day bath remodel are the ones replacing a failing tub with a durable, low-maintenance surround and upgrading the trim to a Kohler or Moen valve. If you want custom tile and a curbless entry, a one day approach is not the right solution, and we will not sell it to you as if it were. We would rather tell you the truth than book a job we cannot do well in one day.

Brands We Service

We install James Hardie backer board in wet-area walls where the waterproofing matters, because it holds up to moisture without swelling or degrading the way drywall and some other boards do behind tile. Our crews are trained in the manufacturer’s installation specs, and the substrate under your tile carries the same written guarantee as the tile itself.

We install KraftMaid cabinetry in bathrooms and kitchens, and we know how to spec the right vanity box for a humid, splash-prone room. The factory finish on a KraftMaid door is part of the package, and our installation work rides alongside it under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Whether you have KraftMaid, James Hardie, or any other make, we can help.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom. That means water is traveling through your floor or wall cavity somewhere. It is rarely the tile itself; it is usually the waterproofing or the valve, and every day it stays wet is another day of rot and mold in the framing.
• The shower pan flexes when you stand on it. A properly built shower pan is rigid. A flexing pan means the mortar base is cracked or missing, and the waterproof layer is already compromised. The fix is a drain-up rebuild, not caulk.
• Grout keeps cracking in the same places. Hairline grout cracks often point to movement in the substrate, not bad grout. Covering it with caulk hides the symptom while the water keeps getting in behind the wall.
• The floor feels soft around the toilet. This is a subfloor failure, usually from a slow toilet flange leak that has been soaking the plywood for months. Ignoring it turns a $600 repair into a $6,000 structural problem.
• The bathroom smells musty even after cleaning. Persistent musty odor in a bathroom almost always means moisture trapped inside a wall or floor cavity. Mold in the framing does not go away on its own; it has to be cut out and replaced.

Our Process, Step by Step

We follow the same sequence on every bathroom remodel because the order protects the work and keeps the job moving. Here is how it goes.

1. 1
   Written estimate and scope review. We measure, inspect visible plumbing and framing, and give you a written price with material allowances and a defined arrival window. That number is the number on the invoice, not a starting bid.
2. 2
   Demolition and inspection. We pull the old finishes carefully enough to assess what is underneath. This is when we confirm the condition of the subfloor, wall framing, and supply and waste lines, and we show you anything that changes the plan before we spend another dollar.
3. 3
   Rough-in and waterproofing. We set the plumbing, electrical, and vent lines, then build the shower pan and waterproof the wet areas with cement board and a sheet membrane. We flood-test the shower pan for 24 hours before tile goes down.
4. 4
   Finish trade work and installation. Tile, cabinetry, countertop, fixtures, glass, and trim go in, in that order. The crew cleans the job site at the end of every day, not just at the end of the job.
5. 5
   Final walk-through and written guarantee. We walk the room with you, demonstrate the fixtures, and hand you the written guarantee for the work. The 365-Day Done Right Promise starts that day, and if anything fails inside that year, we return and fix it at no charge.
