Call (936) 259-2607 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Chino Hills’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Homeowners in Chino Hills don’t hand their bathroom to just anyone. Too many have been burned by a verbal estimate that ballooned once the crew opened the wall and found what every local contractor knows is back there. Trevor Nash built Penhallow Remodeling around a simple rule: write the price down, hand it to you before work begins, and stand behind it with a 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside that window, we come back and fix it at no charge. That promise is in writing on every project, no exceptions.
Our crews know the difference between a bathroom in a 1990s tract off Peyton Drive and one in an older cut-and-fill home near Carbon Canyon. That local knowledge changes how we quote, how we schedule, and how we handle what we find. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, every day, including Sundays and holidays. No answering service, no callback window.
We coordinate dispatch from our Inland Empire office, so when a Chino Hills homeowner calls on a Tuesday morning, we can typically have someone out within days, not weeks. For larger remodels, we schedule a walkthrough first, inspect the existing plumbing and substrate, and then put a written number in your hand. The number on day one is the number on the invoice.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Chino Hills
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Chino Hills usually costs $5,000 to $12,000 and most often means a guest bath, powder room, or a primary bath under 50 square feet. In this city, those bathrooms are frequently original to late-1970s through mid-1990s tract homes, which means the work we quote involves more than swapping tile. We’re typically replacing failed waterproofing, correcting tub or shower drain placement, and bringing supply lines up to code once the permit inspection opens the wall.
What the Quote Includes
Before we write a number, we inspect the subfloor, check for signs of differential settlement on the fill side of the pad, and look at what’s behind the existing shower surround. That inspection is part of the free estimate. A written quote for a small bathroom in Chino Hills lists every line item, including any allowance for unknowns we expect based on the home’s age and foundation type.
When a Small Remodel Needs Bigger Work
Some 1980s Chino Hills bathrooms hide galvanized supply lines that won’t pass a modern inspection once the permit is pulled. When that happens, we don’t surprise you with a new number at the door. The correction gets priced as a written change order, you approve it in writing, and only then do we continue. That’s how we keep the signed scope of work intact.
Shower Remodel in Chino Hills
A Shower Remodel in Chino Hills typically runs $3,000 to $12,000 depending on whether you’re replacing a shower pan and valve or converting a tub to a walk-in shower. This is one of the most common projects we do here, largely because the original builder showers in 1980s and 1990s homes were often built with drywall and mastic behind tile, which fails slowly and quietly. By the time a homeowner sees cracked grout or a stain on the ceiling below, water has already been moving under the subfloor for months.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in showers are the upgrade most Chino Hills homeowners ask about first. The price range is $4,500 to $12,000 and the job usually includes a new mud bed or prefabricated pan, cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), a new valve, and either tile or solid-surface walls. We source fixtures from Kohler and Moen, and countertop and surround materials from Cambria and Silestone, because the products behind our guarantee should be as solid as the promise itself.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Chino Hills runs $3,500 to $10,000 and is a popular choice in secondary baths where a tub gets used twice a year. The catch on older hillside homes is the drain location. Many 1980s tubs sit on slab floors, and moving a drain means working around post-tension cables, not cutting freely. Our general contractor checks the slab layout before quoting any drain relocation, so the number you approve is the number that holds.
Trusted Brands We Service in Chino Hills
We install and service bathroom fixtures and materials from brands homeowners in Chino Hills recognize and trust. Kohler and Moen valves and fixtures are our standard recommendation for showers and tubs. For vanities and countertops, we regularly work with KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria or Silestone surfaces, and we keep common replacement parts in local stock so minor warranty callbacks don’t turn into week-long waits. Trevor Nash insists on this: a guarantee is only useful if the company standing behind it can actually get the parts and people to your home quickly.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Chino Hills Homes
- Failed 1980s shower waterproofing: Builder-grade showers from this era often used drywall and mastic behind tile, which breaks down after 20 to 30 years. Water migrates under the subfloor before you ever see a leak, which is why we always check the subfloor at the toilet flange and tub edge during the estimate.
- Rusted galvanized supply lines: Homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s frequently have galvanized pipes that have corroded from the inside. Once a permit opens the wall for inspection, those lines become visible scope and must be replaced to satisfy modern code.
- Diagonal cracking at garage corners and door frames: On cut-and-fill pads, the fill side settles unevenly over decades while the cut side stays put. That differential movement shows up as diagonal cracks, and it’s a signal that a tile-and-vanity-only remodel might be covering a structural issue instead of fixing one.
- Post-tension slab restrictions: Much of Chino Hills sits on post-tension slab foundations, which means you can’t just trench wherever you want for a new shower drain or relocated supply line. Any work near the tensioned cables needs specialized engineering sign-off before we cut.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Chino Hills
Yes, often. Once a permit opens the wall for inspection, the inspector checks supply lines, venting, waterproofing, and electrical against current code, not the code from 1987. That’s why homes with original galvanized pipes end up needing supply line replacement as part of the permit scope. We account for that in our initial quote by building realistic allowances into the written price, so the permit isn’t a financial surprise.
Because in Chino Hills, the housing stock hides predictable problems: failed waterproofing, rusted pipes, slab movement, and post-tension restrictions. A contractor who quotes without inspecting is guessing. We inspect first, write the price down, and include allowances for the specific failures we know this city’s 1980s and 1990s homes produce. If something outside the allowance shows up, we document it, price it as a written change order, and you approve it in writing before we continue. The number never moves without signed approval. Call (936) 259-2607 for a quote built on an actual inspection.
Yes, on post-tension slabs they are. The tensioned cables run through the concrete under specific patterns, and you cannot cut through them without an engineer’s sign-off. Relocating a shower drain or moving a tub to the opposite wall means working around those cables, which adds engineering cost and occasionally changes the layout. Our general contractor reviews the slab plan and marks cable locations before we finalize any quote that involves drain or supply relocation.
We look at the subfloor at the toilet flange and tub edge for swelling from slow leakage, check for diagonal cracking at garage corners and adjacent door frames to gauge settlement, identify the supply line material, and test the existing waterproofing behind any tiled shower. We also check whether the bathroom sits on the cut or fill side of the pad, because that changes how the slab is likely to behave over time. All of this happens during the free estimate.
Yes. Red-flag conditions mostly affect roofing, framing, and exterior work, but they can also delay material deliveries and inspections when Carbon Canyon winds are at their worst. We build that reality into our scheduling from the start. Interior bathroom rough-in and finish work rarely stops, but if a red-flag day does shut down an inspection or delivery, we adjust the schedule and keep you informed. You’ll always get a real arrival window, and we hold to it. Call (936) 259-2607 to schedule your free estimate.
