Pricing depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes, and the finishes you choose. As a general guide for the Los Angeles area:

• Guest or hall bathroom refresh: roughly $18,000 to $30,000
• Full mid-range remodel with new tile, vanity, and fixtures: roughly $30,000 to $55,000
• Master suite or spa-level build with custom tile and glass: $60,000 and up

Moving plumbing, converting a tub to a curbless shower, or discovering old pipes behind the wall will push a project toward the higher end. We give you a written, itemized estimate after the free in-home consultation so there are no vague allowances or surprise line items later.

Most standard bathrooms take three to five weeks of on-site work. A master bath taken down to the studs, or one where we relocate plumbing, usually runs five to eight weeks.

• Design, material selection, and permit approval happen before demolition and typically add two to four weeks
• Custom orders such as slab countertops, frameless glass, and specialty tile need lead time, so we order them early
• You get a written schedule at the start and a heads-up any time something shifts

If it is your only bathroom, tell us during the consultation. We can sequence the work to shorten the days you are without a working shower.

Yes. KN Remodeling is a licensed and insured California contractor with more than 30 years of remodeling experience, and we carry liability coverage and workers' compensation on every job.

• Your project is run by one dedicated project manager from consultation through final walkthrough
• Plumbing and electrical work is performed by licensed trades and signed off by the city inspector
• You see the same core crew day to day rather than a rotating cast of subcontractors
• Workmanship is backed by our warranty, and manufacturer warranties on fixtures are handed over at closeout

In most cases, yes. Granada Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so there is no separate Granada Hills permit office. Permits are issued by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, and the counter that serves this part of the Valley is the Van Nuys Development Services Center at 6262 Van Nuys Blvd.

• Any work that moves plumbing or electrical, alters walls, or changes the layout requires a permit
• Replacing a fixture in the same location often does not
• Homes on the Knollwood side and the slopes north of Rinaldi fall under the city hillside regulations, which can add review time

We file the application, schedule the inspections, and hand you the closed permit at the end so it is on record for the next appraisal or sale.

Most of Granada Hills was built between the mid 1950s and the early 1970s, and many homes still have their original bathrooms. The pattern we see is consistent:

• Standard 5x8 hall baths where a pocket door, a wall-hung vanity, or a curbless shower gives back usable floor space without moving walls
• Galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains showing corrosion, best replaced while the wall is already open
• Hard water in the north Valley, which is why we recommend protected glass and quality valves rather than budget fixtures
• Long-time owners asking for grab-bar blocking, a comfort-height toilet, and a tub-to-shower conversion so the home works for another twenty years

We will show you which of these are worth doing now and which can wait, rather than bundling everything into one number.
