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. Northridge is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits are issued by the city and not by a separate Northridge 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.

• Moving or adding plumbing and electrical, altering walls, or changing the layout requires a permit
• Replacing a fixture in the same spot often does not
• If your home was repaired after the 1994 earthquake, we check whether that work was permitted before we build on top of it

We handle the filing, the inspections, and the sign-off, and you receive the closed permit for your records.

Northridge was built out mostly in the 1950s and 1960s on generous lots, and it sat at the center of the 1994 earthquake. Both facts shape the work:

• Repairs made quickly in 1994 and 1995 were not always permitted or brought to code, and we look for that before committing to a scope
• Original galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains are still common and are best replaced while the wall is open
• The larger lots and wider floor plans here mean expanding a master bath into an adjacent closet or bedroom corner is often realistic, which is harder in tighter Valley neighborhoods
• Hard water is common, so we specify treated glass and quality valves rather than fixtures that scale within a year

We put all of this in writing in the estimate. If something behind the wall changes the scope, you see the revised number before any work continues.
