Trevor Nash leads our crew, and he answers questions the same way he prices jobs: straight.
Chino is home ground for us. We know the difference between a 1960s ranch near the downtown core and a post-2010 tract house in The Preserve, and that difference changes how we approach waterproofing, subfloor work, and HOA compliance. You shouldn’t have to explain your neighborhood to a contractor. You won’t have to with us.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Chino’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Homeowners between 35 and 60 in Chino have usually been through this before, and not in a good way. A contractor who ghosted after demo. A price that doubled mid-project. A shower pan that cracked six weeks after the final check cleared. That history is exactly why we operate the way we do.
Our Bathroom Remodeling process starts with a written number, not a verbal ballpark. That number is the number on the invoice. We show up in the arrival window we gave you, in uniform, background-checked, and we leave the job site cleaner than we found it. The Kingswell standard has worked this way since 2004. Every project carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if something fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee, no debate.
Chino homeowners call us because a live person answers the phone. Not a voicemail maze. Not a callback window that never comes. A person. 24/7. That matters when you’re standing in a gutted bathroom at 7 p.m. with a question about the rough-in.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Chino
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Chino does more than swap a vanity and call it done. The job means evaluating your existing waterproofing, floor structure, and plumbing rough-in before a single finish material goes in. In Chino specifically, that evaluation often includes checking whether your home sits on former dairy land and what that means for slab work. Homes in The Preserve and other master-planned communities built on converted agricultural ground carry methane barrier and sub-slab vent requirements that a contractor from Chino Hills might never have touched.
When a Full Remodel Makes Sense
If your Chino bathroom has builder-grade fiberglass surrounds, a contractor-grade vanity with veneer that’s peeling at the edges, and tile laid without proper waterproofing behind it, you’re looking at the right moment for a full remodel. Homeowners in the 2000s-era tract homes south of the 60 are hitting this point now. A full bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000, depending on whether you’re moving plumbing, upgrading to a walk-in shower, and what materials you choose.
What We Cover
Every full remodel includes a moisture barrier inspection, cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), and a written scope of work that stays fixed. If we find something unexpected, we document it, show you, and tell you the cost before we touch it. No change orders that appear like a magic trick on the final invoice.
Walk In Shower in Chino
A Walk In Shower in Chino is the most common first upgrade we install in newer tract homes, where builder-grade tub surrounds feel cramped and dated by year ten. The job involves removing the existing tub or shower, rebuilding the wet area with proper slope and waterproofing, and setting tile or a solid-surface wall system. In Chino, walk-in shower installations run $4,500 – $12,000, with curbless designs on slab foundations at the higher end.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
The tub-to-shower conversion is the practical version of this upgrade. You keep the same footprint, so floor tile and plumbing don’t need to move, but you lose the tub wall and gain a level-entry shower. Budget $3,500 – $10,000. In a master-planned Chino home, this is usually the fastest way to make a bathroom feel like it belongs to you, not the developer’s spec sheet.
Frameless Glass and Finishes
We install frameless glass shower enclosures with Kohler and Moen fixtures, and we stock parts locally for Chino jobs, which means fewer return trips to the supply house and faster turnaround when a valve or trim kit needs swapping. Cambria and Silestone quartz vanity tops carry their own warranties alongside ours, so the finished job has layers of protection behind it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Chino
We install and service fixtures and materials from brands that stand behind their product the way we stand behind our labor. Kohler and Moen for plumbing fixtures, KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for countertops. We also work around newer prefab and panelized systems where they show up in Chino’s newer communities, and we’re familiar with the detailing that Dvele and Mighty Buildings homes require. When a Chino homeowner has a specific brand in mind, we source it. When they don’t, we recommend what we’d put in our own homes, which is usually the brand with the longest warranty and the fewest callbacks.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Chino Homes
- Builder warranty traps: Homeowners in The Preserve and similar communities start a remodel, skip permits, and find out the builder won’t cover a waterproofing or structural issue later. We pull permits when the scope requires them and keep our work clear of anything that would void your coverage.
- Slab and subfloor cracks from expansive clay: Chino’s dry-wet cycle is brutal on the region’s clay soils. A hairline crack under tile can telegraph through in a season. We assess the subfloor before we set anything, especially on homes built on former dairy ground.
- HOA architectural review surprises: Master-planned communities enforce design standards on tile, glass, and sometimes even fixture finishes. Getting it wrong means redoing work. We know what The Preserve and similar HOAs are looking for and we build that into the scope from day one.
- Santa Ana wind drying out fresh work: Hot, dry winds blow through Chino and accelerate moisture loss from grout, thinset, and concrete. If you don’t manage curing times, you get hairline cracking in a new shower pan or tile field. We schedule and cover work to control that drying rate.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Chino
It can, if the work touches waterproofing, rough-in plumbing, or any load-bearing element without permits, or if the scope intrudes on systems the builder still covers. The warranty doesn’t disappear because you changed a vanity. It’s at risk when unpermitted work alters what the builder is responsible for. We pull permits when the scope requires them and keep our work clear of structural elements. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll walk you through what your specific project would touch.
Because homes in The Preserve sit on converted dairy land, and San Bernardino County requires methane barrier and sub-slab vent verification whenever slab work or drain relocation is part of the scope. A simple shower drain move can trigger that compliance review, and there’s no shortcut. We build that timeline into your schedule from the start so you’re not standing in a torn-up bathroom wondering what’s happening.
Start with the shower surround or tub enclosure. That’s where builder-grade fiberglass and thin acrylic shows age first, and it’s the upgrade you’ll use every day. A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000 in Chino. After that, tackle the vanity. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets with a Cambria or Silestone top run $800 – $3,000 for the vanity installation alone, and that change alone shifts how the whole room feels. Call (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate on either upgrade.
No. A crack that traces back to expansive clay movement or former dairy ground conditions will come back if you only patch the surface. We inspect what’s underneath before we rebuild, and on slab-on-grade homes in the converted dairy zones, we check for the methane barrier and sub-slab ventilation as part of that assessment. That’s the only way the fix lasts.
You generally need drawings or a work description showing tile, glass, and finish changes that face any shared wall or exterior condition. Some Chino HOAs also want fixture finish specifications. We prepare the scope in the format your HOA’s architectural review board expects, and we won’t start until you have written approval. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll tell you exactly what your HOA’s process looks like based on your community.
