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. Woodland Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits are issued by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, not by a separate city hall. The counter that serves our area is the Van Nuys Development Services Center at 6262 Van Nuys Blvd.

• A permit is required when you move or add plumbing or electrical lines, alter walls, or change the layout
• A straight like-for-like swap, such as a new vanity in the same spot, often does not require one
• Homes above Mulholland or on the hillside lots south of Ventura Boulevard can trigger extra review if the work touches the structure

We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and handle the paperwork ourselves. Skipping this step is what causes problems later when you sell and the buyer's agent asks for permit history.

A large share of the neighborhood, especially Walnut Acres and the ranch tracts north of Ventura Boulevard, was built in the 1950s and 1960s. We open those walls almost every week and know what tends to be waiting behind them:

• Galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains that are corroded and worth replacing while the wall is open
• Original 5x8 hall baths where a pocket door or a wall-hung vanity buys back usable floor space
• Exhaust fans vented into the attic instead of outside, which is a common cause of mildew
• Pre-1980 tile mastic and flooring that should be tested before demolition begins

Our office is on Ventura Boulevard here in Woodland Hills, so if something unexpected turns up mid-project we can be at your house the same day to walk it with you before any change order is signed.
