If you’re calling around for Bathroom Remodeling quotes right now, the best thing you can do is get a written number before any demo starts, and that’s how we work.

Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Florence-Graham’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Florence-Graham is unincorporated LA County, and that one fact changes how a remodel gets permitted. We pull every permit through LA County Building and Safety, not a city hall, because we’ve watched contractors file at the City of LA counter or Huntington Park City Hall and stall the job before it starts. Trevor Nash leads our crews with a simple commitment: a written price before work begins, a real arrival window, and a 365-day promise to make it right if something fails. That promise is in writing on every project, including repairs.
Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know who’s walking through your door. A live person answers our phones 24/7, no voicemail maze. And when the inspector opens a wall and finds something the seller didn’t disclose, we don’t turn it into a standoff. We write the change order, you approve it in writing, and we keep moving. Homeowners in Florence-Graham call us because they’ve already been burned once by a verbal quote that drifted. We don’t work that way.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Florence-Graham
Bathroom remodeling companies in Florence-Graham come in two shapes: the ones who understand LA County permitting and the ones who learn about it the hard way. When you hire us, we handle the full scope: demo, rough-in, the LACBS inspection pathway through the Altadena or Avalon district office, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish. A full bathroom remodel in Florence-Graham runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the number moves based on what’s behind the walls.
Full Remodels and Walk-In Showers
A full gut and rebuild in one of the 1940s-to-1960s wood-frame homes around Graham Avenue, Gage Avenue, or the 90001 and 90022 zip boundaries usually involves replacing galvanized supply lines and bringing the electrical up to current code. That’s the middle of the price range. A walk-in shower install runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion lands between $3,500 and $10,000.
Vanities, Tile, and Fixtures
A bathroom vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000. If you’re keeping the footprint and just refreshing the room, a small bathroom remodel starts around $5,000 and goes to $12,000. We install Kohler and Moen fixtures, and we carry Cambria and Silestone for countertops, so the materials behind our guarantee are as solid as the promise itself.
Bathroom Renovation in Florence-Graham
Bathroom renovation in Florence-Graham often starts with what you can’t see, not what you can. The community’s housing stock is overwhelmingly small wood-frame single-family homes and duplexes built between the 1940s and 1960s. Many sit on raised cripple-wall foundations or shallow slabs, and plenty still have original early-breaker-panel electrical, galvanized supply plumbing, and potential asbestos-containing stucco or floor tile. That means hazmat assessment and system replacement are a near-universal pre-renovation step here, not an occasional surprise.
It Starts With the Permit
Every remodel in Florence-Graham means pulling through LA County Building and Safety, not a municipal counter. We’ve filed enough of these to know the inspectors and the workflow, which means fewer delays between demo and sign-off. We don’t guess at the jurisdiction, and that alone has saved our Florence-Graham clients weeks on their timelines.
Old Floor Plans, New Layouts
Many of these homes have bathrooms built tight against the hall or shared wall. Reconfiguring a layout means opening framing, checking for soft spots under the original tile, and sistering whatever has sagged. We handle that in the permitted rough-in, and any structural issue is priced as a written change order before we touch it. A shower replacement on a weakened subfloor can range from $3,000 to $8,500, depending what the tear-out reveals.
Trusted Brands We Service in Florence-Graham
We work with recognized trade brands so the products behind our guarantee carry their own weight. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. Some Florence-Graham homeowners ask about alternative build systems like Abodu, Cover, and Dvele for larger whole-home reconfigurations. Those are outside our scope for a standard bathroom remodel, but if you’re considering an ADU or a garage conversion as part of a bigger picture, we can point you in the right direction. Our team keeps parts sourcing local for Florence-Graham customers, which keeps turnaround on a vanity swap or a faucet replacement short.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Florence-Graham Homes
- Permits filed at the wrong counter. Contractors who work in Huntington Park or South Gate file at those city halls, then stall when they realize Florence-Graham is county jurisdiction. We file through LACBS every time, and we don’t start demo until the permit is active.
- Knob-and-tube or aging electrical. The vanity light and the outlet by the sink often still run on original wiring. LACBS won’t pass a remodel leaving early electrical feeding a wet room, so it gets addressed before the walls close.
- Galvanized supply plumbing whistling at the shutoffs. These 1940s-to-1960s homes routinely have original galvanized lines that are corroding from the inside out. When the walls are open, that’s the moment to replace them, and we price it before we start.
- Soft subfloors under original tile. Santa Ana winds drive moisture into exterior stucco cracks, and over decades that water finds the bathroom floor. We open the subfloor, sister what’s needed, and get it inspected before new substrate goes down.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Florence-Graham
LA County Building and Safety issues the permit, through the Altadena or Avalon district office, because Florence-Graham is unincorporated county territory. There is no city hall here. If a contractor files at the City of LA counter or Huntington Park City Hall, the project isn’t permitted and can be stopped mid-demo. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll confirm the correct pathway before anything gets pulled.
Because these 1940s-to-1960s wood-frame homes often hide knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized supply plumbing, and subfloor rot under the original tile. LACBS won’t pass a remodel that leaves wet-room electrical or leaking supply lines in place, so the work has to happen. We handle it with allowance language written into the contract, and every discovery is priced as a written change order. The quote only moves when you approve the number in writing. Call (936) 259-2607 for a quote that accounts for real Florence-Graham conditions.
You put the price in writing before demo starts, and you commit to written change orders for anything discovered, which is how we work. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is also in writing: if the work fails inside the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge. If a repair fails, the second visit is free. Call (936) 259-2607 to talk it through.
Yes. If the tub or shower wall has undersized or damaged framing, LACBS expects it opened, sistered to span, and inspected before substrate and tile go back. We do that as part of the permitted rough-in, and the framing work is priced before we start. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll explain what the inspector will look for in your specific bathroom.
We do. Many Florence-Graham homes built before the 1980s have potential asbestos-containing stucco or floor tile. We arrange hazmat assessment before demo on any material that might contain it, and we don’t cut corners on it. That’s a health question, not a budget question. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll outline the assessment step for your house.
