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

Usually yes. Both Tarzana and Reseda are neighborhoods of the City of Los Angeles, so permits go through the city and not a local 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.

• Permits are required when plumbing or electrical is moved or added, walls are altered, or the layout changes
• A straight fixture replacement in the same location often does not require one
• Tarzana properties in the hills south of Ventura Boulevard fall under the city hillside rules, which can add review time
• Reseda homes are largely on slab, so relocating a drain means cutting concrete, and the inspector will want to see it before it is covered

We file, schedule, and close out the permit as part of the project rather than leaving it to you.

They do, even though they sit side by side. The housing stock is genuinely different:

• Reseda: compact post-war tract homes on concrete slab, often with one or two small bathrooms. The best value here comes from a curbless shower, a floating vanity, and floor-to-ceiling tile rather than moving plumbing, because every drain relocation means opening the slab
• Tarzana: larger 1960s and 1970s homes and hillside properties south of the Boulevard, where master suites have room to be reworked properly, including double vanities, a separate shower, and a freestanding tub

What both share is age. Galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and exhaust fans vented into the attic instead of through the roof show up regularly in each neighborhood, and we check for all three during the walkthrough so the estimate reflects the real condition of the house.
