We know Moreno Valley homes. The tract houses built between 1985 and 2000 have a particular set of surprises waiting behind the tile, and we’ve opened enough of them to know exactly where the water went, where the framing sagged, and what the building department will ask for once we pull a permit. That local familiarity changes how we bid, how we write allowances, and how smoothly your remodel goes from demo day to the day you hang towels.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Moreno Valley’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Most of our Moreno Valley customers come to us after a bid that looked good until the contractor opened a wall and discovered the shower pan had been leaking into the subfloor for a decade. That’s the moment a verbal estimate turns into a surprise invoice. We do it differently. Our Bathroom Remodeling process starts with an inspection, not an assumption. Trevor Nash, who leads Penhallow Remodeling, insists every project carry a written price and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise before a single tile is pulled. If something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. Plain and simple.
Our crew serves Moreno Valley from the Inland Empire office as your General Contractor in Moreno Valley, and when we schedule a project here we give you a defined arrival window and a background-checked, uniformed technician at the door. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Sunnymead Ranch, Moreno Hills, and along Lasselle Street call us because they want a contractor who answers the phone, shows up when promised, and doesn’t vanish after the last check clears. A live person answers our line 24/7. Not an answering service. A person.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Moreno Valley
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Moreno Valley usually means a guest bath, hall bath, or powder room between 25 and 45 square feet, and those run $5,000 – $12,000 in this market. The job covers new flooring, vanity, fixtures, lighting, paint, and trim, often reusing the existing layout to keep costs down. In 1990s tract homes in neighborhoods like Towngate and Hidden Springs, the original baths were built fast with low-grade vanities and cheap fiberglass surrounds. By year 25, the MDF cabinet has swollen, the tub surround is cracked, and the floor is dated. That’s when a smaller, well-scoped remodel delivers the best return without touching plumbing stacks or moving a wall.
Vanity and Fixture Updates
We install vanities from Wellborn and fixtures from Kohler and Moen. A bathroom vanity installation in Moreno Valley runs $800 – $3,000, and we set every cabinet level before securing it, even on older post-tensioned slabs that aren’t perfectly flat.
Tile and Flooring Refreshes
We replace thin 1980s builder-grade tile with porcelain or natural stone set over a proper cement board substrate, the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile. This matters in Moreno Valley because the original tract builds often skimped on waterproofing, and the Santa Ana wind cycles plus summer heat expand and contract wall assemblies enough to loosen early tile work.
Shower Remodel in Moreno Valley
A Shower Remodel in Moreno Valley typically runs $3,000 – $8,500 for a replacement, while a more involved walk-in shower installation lands at $4,500 – $12,000. This is the most common job we do in older Moreno Valley tract homes, because the original fiberglass or acrylic surrounds fail in predictable ways. Over decades, the thin plastic corners crack, water seeps behind the surround, and the framing behind it starts to rot. By the time a homeowner notices the loose edge or the musty smell, the real work is behind the wall, not in front of it.
Shower Replacement in an Older Home
Replacing a shower in a 1985 – 2000 Moreno Valley home almost always involves more than swapping the surround. We pull the old fiberglass, inspect the studs, check for failed waterproofing, and then rebuild to current code. That includes Title 24 seismic strapping where the wall meets the framing, which the Moreno Valley building inspector will look for on a permitted job.
Walk-In Shower Installation
For homeowners who want a curbless entry or a spacious two-person shower, we design and install walk-in showers with frameless glass enclosures. We use Kohler and Moen valves, and if you want quartz shower walls or a bench, Cambria and Silestone both carry their own warranties alongside our 365-day guarantee.
Trusted Brands We Service in Moreno Valley
We install recognizable trade brands, not off-label imports. Cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Delta. For homeowners in Moreno Valley doing a full remodel, we also coordinate with companies like Mighty Buildings and Cover when the scope expands to a larger addition or ADU, so the bathroom work integrates cleanly with our Moreno Valley Unilock service and the rest of the project. Because our Moreno Valley customers don’t want a six-week wait on a special-order part, we keep common finish and repair stock close and order non-stock items immediately after you approve the written estimate.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Moreno Valley Homes
- Failed original waterproofing. The 1985 – 2000 stucco tract homes that dominate Moreno Valley’s housing stock were built fast, and waterproofing behind tub surrounds and shower pans was often thin or nonexistent. When we open those walls we almost always find moisture damage that the owner never saw.
- Expansive clay soil and post-tensioned slab movement. Moreno Valley sits on San Jacinto Valley clay that swells and shrinks. Post-tensioned slabs crack and heave unevenly. A bathroom floor that slopes a quarter inch means the vanity rocks and the shower pan drains wrong. We check for this before setting anything.
- Aluminum branch wiring. Many 1980s and early 1990s Moreno Valley houses were wired with aluminum branch circuits. When we open a bathroom wall for electrical upgrades, that’s a code trigger. We upgrade to copper where needed and price it before touching it.
- Undersized framing around shower openings. Original builders often used the minimum allowable lumber. Once water softens that framing, a 2×4 stud that was just barely adequate becomes a structural problem. We sister or replace it, and we write the cost down for you to approve before work proceeds.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Moreno Valley
Yes, any remodel that moves plumbing, changes electrical, or opens walls down to framing requires a permit and inspection. In Moreno Valley, once you open a wall in one of those 1985 – 2000 tract homes, the building department requires the work to meet current Title 24 seismic standards due to the city’s location near the San Jacinto Fault. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and make sure the rough-in and seismic strapping are signed off before we close anything up. Call (936) 259-2607 if you’re unsure whether your project triggers a permit.
Because the original waterproofing in many 1985 – 2000 Moreno Valley tract homes has already failed or is close to it, and because expansive clay under post-tensioned slabs moves framing and flooring in ways no visual inspection can fully predict. A contractor who gives you a fixed number without opening a wall is guessing. We inspect first, write specific allowances into your contract, and any overage is documented and approved by you in writing before we touch it. That’s the only honest way to price remodeling in older Moreno Valley stock. Call us and we’ll show you exactly how the allowance works.
Yes, we do tub-to-shower conversions in Moreno Valley regularly, including homes on post-tensioned concrete slabs. The slab doesn’t stop the work, but it does mean we check the floor for heave or cracking before setting the shower pan, and we slope the new drain properly even if the slab isn’t perfectly level. A tub-to-shower conversion here runs $3,500 – $10,000. Call (936) 259-2607 to schedule a visit.
Yes. Uneven floors in Moreno Valley bathrooms usually trace back to expansive San Jacinto Valley clay under the post-tensioned slab, and that movement leaves doors out of square, vanities rocking, and shower pans that pool water. We check for slab heave during our estimate, and if the floor needs correction, we price it before work starts, not after.
We install cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Delta. Where a project scales up to an addition or ADU, we also coordinate with Mighty Buildings and Cover for prefabricated building components. Every product carries its own manufacturer warranty alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Call (936) 259-2607 today. We’ll set a time, walk your bathroom, and hand you a written price and a written guarantee. No pressure, no verbal ballpark, no surprises. That’s how we remodel in Moreno Valley.
