Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across North Hollywood
A bathroom remodel in North Hollywood typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, depending on whether you’re swapping a vanity in a 1950s ranch or gutting a dingbat apartment bathroom down to the studs. Most full remodels take two to four weeks once permits clear. If you’re planning one, call us at (213) 277-6578 for a written price before any work starts.
We work across North Hollywood every week, from the condo corridors near Lankershim and Magnolia to the single-story ranch pockets west of the 170. Our crews know the difference between a pier-and-beam foundation on a 1954 house and a post-tension slab in a 2016 mixed-use building along the NoHo Arts District. That matters when your plumber has to route a new drain line through a party wall or your tile setter has to level a floor that has settled half an inch over sixty years. Scheduling and dispatch are coordinated from our Los Angeles office, and crews serve North Hollywood locally.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Los Angeles Is North Hollywood’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Trevor Nash runs our Bathroom Remodeling team the way a good foreman runs a job site: show up when you said you would, tell the homeowner the truth about what the wall cavity looks like once you open it, and put the price in writing before a single tile gets set. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it has been since 2004.
North Hollywood homeowners call us because we return phone calls. A live person answers 24/7, not an answering service. When a homeowner on Bakman Avenue calls about a shower pan that failed two months after another contractor finished, we schedule a visit and tell them what we’ll check before we arrive. Every technician who walks into your home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who is there and why.
And every project comes with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee, no argument. That promise is why homeowners in North Hollywood who have been burned before tend to call us first.

Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in North Hollywood
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in North Hollywood does more than swap finishes. On the older building stock here, the job often starts with a soft-story retrofit check and a hard look at the galvanized supply lines before anyone picks up a sledgehammer. The remodel itself means reconfiguring layout, replacing the shower or tub, setting new tile on a proper cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), and updating the vanity, fixtures, and lighting. A full remodel on a typical North Hollywood bathroom runs $9,000 to $28,000. The final number depends on whether you’re moving plumbing, what tile and fixture lines you choose, and whether the building has retrofit or historic review requirements layered on top.
What the Work Actually Involves
We start with a site visit to measure, check access, and map what’s behind the walls before we quote. Then we demo to the framing, update any plumbing or electrical that needs it, rebuild the substrate, waterproof, tile, and set fixtures. On a tight North Hollywood lot, we stage materials in a designated drop zone so we don’t block your neighbor’s driveway or the shared alley.
When a North Hollywood Homeowner Needs This
You need a full remodel when the layout no longer works, the shower is leaking into the unit below, or the bathroom is original to a 1960s dingbat and the tile has started to fail. If the subfloor is soft or the plumbing is corroded, a surface-level refresh will not fix it. That’s when a full remodel, done in sequence and pulled with permits, is the honest answer.
Walk In Shower in North Hollywood
A Walk In Shower in North Hollywood makes sense for the smaller bathrooms common in the area’s 1950s and 60s housing stock. Removing the tub lip and curbed shower pan opens the floor plan and makes the bathroom feel larger without adding square footage. A walk-in shower installation typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 in North Hollywood. A tub-to-shower conversion lands between $3,500 and $10,000. The range depends on whether we’re rebuilding the drain location, adding a frameless glass enclosure, or working around a party wall where plumbing access is shared with the unit next door.
Frameless Glass and Waterproofing
We install frameless glass enclosures that mount without a bulky frame, and we waterproof every shower with a membrane system before tile goes on. On a second-floor bathroom in a dingbat, the waterproofing matters twice: a leak there is not your problem alone. It becomes the neighbor’s ceiling below.
What Drives the Price Up or Down
Moving the drain is the single biggest cost driver. If you keep the footprint and the drain location, the job is faster and cheaper. Frameless glass, custom tile patterns, and niche build-outs add cost. On a tight lot where materials have to be hand-carried or staged off-site, access adds labor. We’ll show you the line items in your written quote so you can see exactly where the money goes.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Hollywood
We service and install fixtures from Kohler, Moen, Delta, and Toto, along with cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn and countertops from Cambria and Silestone. For shower substrates and underlayment, we use proven trade products like Sakrete for leveling and setting bases. Because our techs work in North Hollywood weekly, we keep common valve cartridges, trim kits, and mounting hardware on the truck, which means fewer return trips and less downtime when a part fails mid-install. You will not wait a week for a second visit because someone had to order a drain assembly from a distributor across town.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in North Hollywood Homes
- Corroded galvanized supply lines. Many older North Hollywood homes still have original galvanized steel plumbing, and the Valley’s hard water eats it from the inside. When we open a wall in a 1956 bathroom, we routinely find supply lines reduced to a pinhole’s worth of flow, which means a full re-pipe of the bathroom while the walls are open.
- Party-wall plumbing conflicts. In dingbat apartments and newer attached condos, bathroom plumbing often shares a wall with the unit next door. Rerouting a vent or drain without written notice to the adjacent owner can trigger a stop-work order, so we handle that paperwork before rough-in starts.
- Soft-story retrofit interference. Many older apartment buildings with tuck-under parking fall under the city’s soft-story retrofit ordinance. Bathroom remodel plumbing and structural work must not compromise the retrofit of the floor above, which changes how we route new supply lines and where we cut into framing.
- Small lot staging chaos. North Hollywood lots are tight, and the streets are narrow. Without a designated material drop zone, a crew loses one to two hours a day moving materials back and forth. We stake out the drop zone on day one and keep the neighbor’s driveway clear the entire job.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in North Hollywood
Yes, in many cases it does. If your building has tuck-under parking and was built before the soft-story ordinance took effect, the city may require a retrofit check before issuing permits for plumbing or structural work. We check that on the front end so you don’t demo a bathroom and then wait weeks on a rejected permit. Call (213) 277-6578 and we’ll review your building’s status during the estimate.
We schedule rough-in during allowable work hours, give written notice to adjacent units before we start, and keep demolition contained to the interior of the unit. If your building has a noise ordinance or HOA work-hour rule, we follow it. That’s part of the Kingswell Way: show up in the window we gave, do the work, leave the place cleaner than we found it.
If your home sits in a historic overlay, you may need design review for exterior changes, but a pure interior bathroom remodel usually only needs plumbing, electrical, and building permits. The complication comes when the remodel touches structural framing or shared walls. We pull the permits and coordinate the inspections, and your written quote includes the permit fees before we start.
Yes. We stake out a material drop zone on your property, keep a wheelbarrow path clear, and never stage in the street or across a shared driveway. On a project off Magnolia Boulevard, we kept the shared driveway clear for the entire rough-in while routing PEX through the party wall. It takes more planning, but it keeps the job moving and the neighbors calm.
Valley hard water leaves mineral scale inside valve bodies and on fixture finishes, and it accelerates corrosion in older galvanized steel supply lines. We recommend replacing those lines with PEX while the walls are open, and we can spec fixtures with finishes that resist hard-water spotting. It’s one of the first things we look at when we inspect a bathroom in this part of Los Angeles.
