The Risk Is
Behind the Tile
A bathroom is the most unforgiving room in a house to get wrong, and the reason is invisible: the waterproofing, slope, and plumbing hidden behind the tile. When those fail — and with an unlicensed handyman they often do — you don't find out until there's water in the ceiling below and rot in the framing. By then the "guy" is long gone, uninsured, and unreachable. On a high-end Encino master bath, that failure is expensive to chase and expensive to fix.
Right Image Builders is a licensed general contractor, based in Valley Glen a short drive east of Encino. Hiring us means one company is legally accountable for the hidden work and the visible finish alike. We pull the LADBS plumbing and electrical permits, waterproof to code, carry the insurance, and put a written fixed-price contract in your hands before we start.
Encino baths tend to be ambitious — curbless spa showers, freestanding tubs, steam, and double vanities — and the more ambitious the design, the more the hidden waterproofing and plumbing have to be done right. That's permitted work a licensed contractor signs off on, and exactly the kind of thing a handyman leaves for you to discover later.
Accountable for
the Work You Can't See
Waterproofing You Can Trust
Proper pre-slope, hot-mop or membrane pan, and correct curb and niche detailing — the invisible layer that decides whether a bathroom lasts 20 years or leaks in 2. A licensed contractor is accountable for it and insured if it fails; a handyman is neither.
Permitted Plumbing & Electrical
Moving a shower, adding a vanity, or building a curbless spa bath means plumbing and electrical work that must be permitted and inspected through LADBS. We pull the permits and close them — an unlicensed handyman legally can't.
Spa Showers & Steam
Curbless entries, linear drains, body sprays, and steam units are what Encino homeowners ask for — and each raises the stakes on waterproofing and ventilation. A licensed contractor engineers and permits these details so the luxury lasts.
Insurance & Liability
We carry general-liability and workers' compensation insurance. Water damage, an on-site injury, a mistake behind the wall — covered by us, not billed to your homeowner's policy the way an uninsured worker's accident would be.
A Written, Fixed-Price Contract
Scope, materials, milestone schedule, and payment terms in writing, up front — required by California law and the only way to hold a contractor to what was promised. No verbal deals, no surprise invoices.
The Finished Bathroom
Tile, glass, vanity, and fixtures — and a closed permit that documents the work was done right. Final payment is due only after your walkthrough approval, so the accountability runs to the very last step.
How to Vet a Bathroom
Contractor in Encino
Verify before you hire — it takes minutes. Check the CSLB license at cslb.ca.gov ("Check a License"); ours is 1021284. Confirm it's active, correctly classified, and shows a bond and workers' compensation. Get insurance in writing — general liability and workers' comp. Insist on a written, fixed-price contract before a deposit changes hands.
With bathrooms, ask one more question the finish won't answer: how do you waterproof, and do you pull the plumbing permit? A contractor who talks confidently about the pan, slope, and membrane — and who permits the work — is protecting you from the failure that costs the most to fix. One who offers to skip the permit is offering to make it your problem, and on an Encino home that shortcut surfaces at resale.
Encino is City of Los Angeles, so plumbing and electrical are permitted through LADBS. We're there regularly from our Valley Glen shop a short drive east — local familiarity that keeps your Encino project moving.
