Bathroom Remodeling in Brentwood, Los Angeles

A mid-range bathroom in Brentwood typically lands between $6,600 and $18,000, and a full primary-bath rebuild with a large walk-in shower and twin vanities runs $18,000 to $35,000 or more — roughly $70 to $250 a square foot once finish level is factored in. A straightforward tub-to-shower swap alone usually costs $3,000 to $12,000. We put a fixed number in writing after seeing your actual room and your material choices at the free walkthrough, not before.

Swapping finishes in the same footprint often doesn't, but moving a fixture, changing a window, adding ventilation or rebuilding the wet area does — through LADBS, since Brentwood, Bel-Air, Westwood and Pacific Palisades are all Los Angeles neighborhoods rather than separate cities. A Palisades address inside the post-fire rebuild zone typically moves through the City's faster recovery permit track instead. We tell you exactly which path your project needs at the consultation and handle the paperwork from there.

A shower that holds up starts under the tile: sheet-and-roll membrane waterproofing runs across the full wet area, the mud bed is sloped to carry water to the drain, and the finish tile is set to ANSI A108 and TCNA Handbook methods on a properly prepared surface. A zero-threshold, step-free pan needs that same build-up detailed precisely so water stays contained without a curb to hold it back. Get that sequence right and the shower looks seamless for decades; rush it and the grout lines are where trouble shows up first.

A mid-range bathroom usually takes two to four weeks on site, and a full primary bath with a rebuilt wet area, new tile and twin vanities runs three to six weeks. A tub-to-shower swap is quicker on its own, typically three to seven days depending on how much of the wet area needs rebuilding. Design and LADBS permitting happen before any of that on-site time, and we lay out the whole timeline alongside the written scope.

Yes — it's one of the highest-return projects we do, especially in older Brentwood and Bel-Air homes still carrying a builder-grade tub-shower combo nobody uses. We remove the old tub and surround, rebuild and waterproof the wet area to current standards, and finish the new shower in the tile and glass you choose. If aging in place matters to you, we also rough in a step-free pan, a built-in bench and backing for grab bars while the wall is already open.

Yes — bathrooms built around ADA and ANSI A117.1 accessibility guidance are a growing share of our work, and the pieces are easy to build in when they're planned up front. A zero-threshold shower pan, a built-in bench, wider door and turning clearances, comfort-height fixtures, and solid wall backing for future grab bars all get roughed in during framing rather than bolted on awkwardly later. Doing it now, while the walls are already open for a remodel you're doing anyway, costs a fraction of retrofitting it piece by piece down the road.

Single or twin vanities get built or specified to the exact wall run and topped in engineered quartz, granite or natural stone, paired with Kohler, Delta or Moen fixtures. Quartz is the most-requested surface for its hardness and near-zero upkeep; natural stone gets chosen when a homeowner wants a slab with its own character and doesn't mind occasional sealing. We bring samples to the consultation and match the vanity top to your tile choices before the order goes in.

A single-bathroom remodel takes that room fully offline for the on-site weeks, so a household with a second bath usually just works around it, while a one-bath house needs more planning. We keep the work zone dust-contained, protect the floors along the path crews use, and sequence demolition and rough-in to keep the room's downtime as tight as the scope allows. We're upfront about the disruption at the walkthrough so you can plan the household around it.

Yes — primary and secondary baths behind the Bel-Air East and West Gates, and in the Holmby Hills estates near Westwood Village, make up a regular share of our Westside work. Estate lots often mean longer plumbing runs and larger wet areas, and Bel-Air's hillside blocks add tighter canyon-road access for crews and materials. We walk the property and price those specifics into the free consultation before any number goes in writing.

The Palisades Fire on January 7, 2025 destroyed 6,831 structures, and Los Angeles answered with a faster recovery permit track that lets a licensed architect or licensed engineer self-certify plans, plus approval for like-for-like rebuilds up to 10% larger than the pre-fire footprint. A primary bath built as part of that rebuild typically clears the City faster than a standalone remodel permit would on an untouched house. We work inside that faster track for Palisades clients and walk through exactly how it applies to your specific rebuild.

Yes — Bel-Air, Westwood, Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica and the broader Los Angeles Westside are all part of our regular service area, on the same design-build, fixed-scope basis. LADBS covers the permit the same way for the first three, since all are Los Angeles neighborhoods, while Santa Monica runs its own separate permitting process. Wherever the house sits, the process and the standards the work is held to don't change, and the number to call is (424) 369-0310.
