From dated, cramped bathroom to your home's personal retreat.
Bathrooms combine tight spaces with complex plumbing and waterproofing demands. Our unified design-build method coordinates architectural plans, MEP engineering, custom fabrication, and city inspections under one roof—preventing costly delays and budget creep.
Spatial Layout & 3D Design
We analyze your daily routine, engineer optimal fixture placement and shower/tub configurations, and finalize photo-realistic 3D designs with a transparent, fixed-price contract.

Planning a bathroom renovation involves technical details and city regulations. Here are honest answers to the five questions we hear most from homeowners in Marin and Santa Clara Counties.
Do I need a building permit for a bathroom remodel in Marin or Santa Clara Counties?
Yes. Any bathroom remodel that involves structural changes, moving plumbing lines, or modifying electrical circuits requires a permit from your local city or county building department. As your licensed general contractor, we manage the entire permitting process, plan submissions, and scheduled city inspections.
Why hire a licensed general contractor instead of separate trades?
Bathroom remodeling requires precise coordination between plumbers, electricians, waterproofers, and tile installers. Hiring a licensed general contractor guarantees proper waterproofing standards, adherence to California building codes, single-point accountability, and a seamless timeline under one contract.
How long does a bathroom renovation take from start to finish?
Active construction usually takes 3 to 5 weeks depending on scope, custom tile work, and plumbing updates. Factoring in initial design, custom vanity or tile orders, and local permit reviews, the entire project timeline is typically 6 to 8 weeks.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Marin and Santa Clara Counties?
Costs depend on square footage, layout changes, and selected materials such as marble, custom cabinetry, or radiant heating. Rather than providing vague figures, we conduct a site consultation and deliver a detailed, fixed-price proposal tailored to your goals.
Can I stay in my home during the bathroom remodel?
In almost all cases, yes. We isolate the work area with dust containment walls and floor protections to keep your living environment clean. If you are remodeling your home's only bathroom, we plan a phased construction schedule to minimize fixture downtime.
