Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Reseda
A full bathroom remodel with a General Contractor in Reseda typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, and the final number depends on what’s behind your walls, not just what you can see. We’ve worked on enough 1950s – 70s ranch homes here to know that opening up a Reseda bathroom often reveals surprises the original quote didn’t anticipate. That’s exactly why we put our price in writing before demo day, and why a real person answers when you call (936) 259-2607 to schedule a free estimate.
Trevor Nash leads our Bathroom Remodeling team with one rule that never bends: inspect first, price second, and never touch a wall until the homeowner has seen the written scope of work. For Reseda homeowners who’ve been burned by contractors before, that’s not a sales pitch. It’s how we run every job.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Reseda’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Reseda homeowners call us because we show up when we say we will, with background-checked, uniformed technicians who know the difference between a 1960s raised foundation on Reseda Boulevard and a post-tension slab off Sherman Way. That local knowledge matters when you’re tearing out a shower pan and need to know whether the subfloor below is original or a 1994 emergency patch.
Every Reseda project gets the Kingswell standard, established in 2004: a written price before any work starts, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No re-inspection fee, no second-visit charge, no argument.
Our customers tell us the same thing: the number on day one matched the invoice, the crew left the bathroom cleaner than they found it, and when one shower valve acted up seven months later, someone answered the phone at 9 p.m. and scheduled the fix. That’s the standard, on every job, every time.
Bathroom Renovation in Reseda
A bathroom renovation in Reseda means taking the room down to the studs in most of these older homes, because what’s underneath the tile is usually the problem: failed waterproofing, undersized framing, or electrical that wouldn’t pass a Van Nuys Building & Safety inspection today. A full renovation here runs $9,000 – $28,000, and the range is wide because every home’s seismic history is different.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We handle the complete job: rough-in plumbing, load-bearing repairs if needed, cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), waterproofing, tile, vanity, and fixture installation. The written quote includes line items for every stage, so you can see exactly where the money goes before we order a single box of tile.
Walk-In Showers & Frameless Glass Enclosures
Walk-in shower installation in Reseda runs $4,500 – $12,000 depending on glass configuration, tile selection, and whether we uncover framing issues behind the old tub. Frameless glass enclosures require precise measurement and solid anchoring, especially in homes where the original walls are no longer plumb after decades of settling.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Reseda
A small bathroom remodel in Reseda typically runs $5,000 – $12,000, and these are often the guest baths or hall baths in the 1950s – 70s tract homes off Saticoy Street or Tampa Avenue. Smaller square footage doesn’t mean simpler; these rooms frequently have original cast-iron tubs, galvanized supply lines, and wiring that predates GFCI requirements.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower in Reseda costs $3,500 – $10,000, and it’s the most common request we get from homeowners who want to age in place or simply never use the bathtub. The job includes cap-off work, new drain slope, waterproofing, and tile, and we’ll pull the permit so the conversion is legal and documented.
Vanities, Tile & Fixture Upgrades
Bathroom vanity installation runs $800 – $3,000 including the sink and faucet hookup, and we install Kohler and Moen fixtures as standard practice. When the vanity comes out, that’s often when we spot the first sign of a failed waterproofing layer under a post-tension slab bath, the kind of thing that would have stayed hidden until the subfloor started swelling.
Trusted Brands We Service in Reseda
We install Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and KraftMaid cabinetry, so the products behind our guarantee carry their own manufacturer warranties alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. For Reseda homeowners, that means the quartz countertop and the shower valve are backed twice: by the brand and by us. We coordinate directly with local suppliers near the Valley so any warranty replacement or material swap happens fast, not six weeks out. Cambria quartz, for example, carries a lifetime warranty that runs in parallel with ours, and we handle the claim paperwork so you don’t have to.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Reseda Homes
- Post-1994 emergency repairs that were never done right: The Northridge quake’s actual epicenter was in Reseda, near Reseda Boulevard and the 118 Freeway, so nearly every ranch home here carries some patchwork from that era. We routinely open a wall and find cripple-wall bracing stapled over original framing, not bolted with today’s hardware.
- Failed waterproofing under post-tension slab baths: The 1994 foundation patches often masked the original moisture path, which means a shower pan can fail for years before the subfloor swells enough to notice. By the time a homeowner spots the cracked tile, the wood below is already compromised.
- Dimensional lumber warped by Valley heat: Reseda sits deep in the San Fernando Valley’s thermal bowl, where summer temps regularly exceed 105°F. Lumber stored on-site can warp within days, and thinset cures faster than coastal LA crews expect, which is why we adjust our material schedule and setting timelines rather than rush a shower pan that will crack later.
- Galvanized supply lines and outdated electrical: Most of these 1950s – 70s homes still have original galvanized pipes and wiring that predates GFCI outlets. Once walls are open, a permit triggers the code upgrade, and that’s a cost we plan for in the written scope of work, not a surprise tacked onto the final invoice.

What moves a quote up or down is what’s behind the walls: load-bearing framing that needs reinforcement, a 1994 sistered-joist repair that never got permitted to today’s standard, or waterproofing that has to be redone from the subfloor up.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Reseda
A Reseda bathroom quote moves more because the 1994 Northridge earthquake’s epicenter was here, near Reseda Boulevard and the 118 Freeway, so nearly every older home has post-quake repair work of inconsistent quality. Opening a wall frequently reveals stapled cripple-wall bracing, sistered joists that were never permitted to today’s standard, or foundation patches that masked settlement. We pull the permit history from the Van Nuys Building & Safety district office before demolition, so the written quote already accounts for what that record shows. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll walk you through what we find.
We stop, document what we found, pull the 1994 – 95 emergency permit record from Van Nuys Building & Safety, and bring the client the full picture before any further work happens. Then we write a change order with a fixed price for the load-bearing reinforcement or rough-in correction, and you approve that number in writing before we proceed. The permit trigger is real: once walls are open, a code upgrade on electrical and plumbing is required, and that’s already in our scope of work, not a surprise. Call (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate and we’ll explain exactly how we handle this on your specific home.
Yes, and we plan for it rather than fight it. Reseda’s summer temperatures regularly exceed 105°F, which warps dimensional lumber stored on-site and accelerates thinset cure times enough to crack a shower pan if a crew sets it on a coastal timetable. We adjust our material deliveries, store lumber in shaded staging, and set tile during cooler morning windows so the waterproofing and thinset cure properly. The written schedule reflects these adjustments so the job doesn’t stall when the Valley heats up. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll give you a written arrival window and timeline.
We install Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and KraftMaid cabinetry as standard practice, and each carries its own manufacturer warranty alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. For a Reseda bathroom, that means the shower valve, the quartz vanity top, and the cabinet boxes are all backed by the brand and by us, in writing. We also stock common replacement parts through local Valley suppliers so a warranty fix happens in days, not weeks. Call (936) 259-2607 for a free estimate and we’ll spec the exact products for your remodel.
A full bathroom remodel in Reseda runs $9,000 – $28,000, and a small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 – $12,000. The draw schedule follows the work: a deposit to secure materials and permits, a draw at rough-in inspection, a draw at drywall and tile completion, and the final balance at final inspection and walkthrough. Every draw is written into the contract before work starts, so you always know what’s coming and when. Call (936) 259-2607 and we’ll give you a written price and draw schedule for your specific bathroom.
