Bathrooms are about details. Tile lines, fixture finishes, lighting temperature, the way water actually drains. We bring the same craft and project management to bathroom remodels that we bring to kitchens — full design, materials, construction, and finish under one roof. Whether it's a primary bath rebuild, an ensuite addition, or a powder-room refresh, you'll get a clear plan and a project run by one person, not a chain.
Every neighborhood has its own architectural character, permit jurisdiction, and finish-level expectations. Here's how we approach bathroom remodeling in Mar Vista specifically.
Mar Vista homes are predominantly 1945–1965 builds. Original electrical service is often 100-amp and needs upgrade. Galvanized supply pipes are common. Single-pane windows, knob-and-tube wiring sometimes lurking. We plan for these during any kitchen or bath remodel.
Many Mar Vista lots are 50'×140' or larger — good fits for detached ADUs of 800–1,200 sq ft. Conversion of 1-car garages to JADUs is also common. State ADU laws strongly support these projects in Mar Vista.
Mar Vista has an active community council and many homeowners value preserving mid-century character. We design remodels that respect this — modern function, period-appropriate aesthetic.
Mar Vista's pre-war bungalow stock often has original supply-line and drain-line materials at or past end-of-life. Bathroom remodels are the typical discovery point — opening walls for the bath rough-in reveals what should be replaced before the new finishes go in. We pressure-test and inspect the existing lines as part of demolition rather than discovering after tile is set, which would be a worse outcome for both timeline and cost.
Mar Vista bungalow bathrooms are generally compact, with no adjacent space to expand into without affecting another room. Renovation focuses on layout-within-footprint optimization: corner showers, wall-hung vanities, pocket doors, vertical storage. The design constraint is real — we don't propose footprint changes on most Mar Vista bath projects because the parcel and floorplan don't support them. The goal is making the existing footprint feel more spacious and function better.
Mar Vista bath finishes typically favor accessible-tier materials that hold up: subway tile, mid-tier vanities, porcelain large-format floors, frameless glass shower enclosures. Higher-tier finishes exist in Mar Vista but are less common than in the coastal or hillside neighborhoods nearby. The bath comes out looking designed and intentional without the procurement budget that drives Westside premium-tier baths.
Layout, fixture placement, vanity and storage planning. We work in 3D so you see what you're getting before demolition starts.
Sourcing and installation of tile, natural stone, and slab. Particular attention to waterproofing, slope, and grout choice — the things that make a bathroom last.
New supply and drain runs as needed, fixture upgrades (vanity, sink, toilet, tub, shower system), and ventilation.
Layered lighting (vanity, ambient, accent), GFCI safety, smart controls, ventilation fan upgrades.
Handled in-house. We work with LA city, county, and individual municipalities and pull all required permits.
Typical LA bathroom remodel range. Powder rooms run lower; primary suites with custom showers, freestanding tubs, and slab finishes run higher.
LADBS handles Mar Vista permits. Standard plan check timelines (4–10 weeks) for kitchens. ADU projects benefit from state-level ministerial approval where applicable.

Most bathroom remodels run 4–8 weeks. Powder rooms can be done in 2–3 weeks. Primary suite rebuilds with structural work take longer.
Cosmetic work (paint, tile replacement, fixture swap) usually doesn't. Structural changes, moving plumbing supply lines, electrical changes, and most window/wall work do. We figure out which permits apply and pull them.
In Mar Vista, frequently. Most pre-1970s homes here have at least one of: knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized pipes, or asbestos floor tile under the linoleum. We test for hazardous materials before demo and budget contingency.
In most cases, yes. We do a feasibility check up front — setbacks, height limits, utility access, soil. We tell you whether a detached ADU pencils or whether a JADU conversion makes more sense.
