Culver City bathrooms date from the house: a 1920s–40s bungalow bath with original tile and a tub under the window, or a 1950s ranch hall bath with a later vanity and a fan that was never ducted outside. Tub-to-shower conversions and primary baths carved from a closet are the two most common projects in houses like these.
Behind the new tile, the Culver City house sets the scope. The plumbing is typically galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains in the 1920s–50s houses, raised foundations under the older bungalows and slabs under many 1950s ranches. The waterproofing, the slope of the pan and the ventilation to the outside are what decide whether the room lasts, so our proposal prices the pan and the re-pipe before the finishes, and the electrical gets GFCI-protected circuits and a properly ducted fan on every job.
Our office is in Valley Glen, about 35–45 minutes away, so the project lead who does your estimate is on site through the 3–6 weeks the build takes, and most Culver City families stay in the home. On a sloped lot the staging and the carry-in are priced before the tile is.
A common Culver City bathroom project. We pull the old tub, reframe and waterproof the shower, set a properly sloped curbed or curbless pan, and tile it with a linear or center drain — plus niches, benches, and blocking for grab bars if you want it aging-in-place ready.
This is where corners get cut and ceilings leak. We use proper hot-mop or sheet/liquid membrane systems, sloped pre-slope under the pan, and correct curb and niche detailing — the invisible layer that decides whether a bathroom lasts 20 years or 2.
Porcelain, natural stone, handmade ceramic, zellige, and full-height shower walls — installed by our in-house tile crew with proper edge and transition systems. Frameless glass enclosures templated and installed to fit.
Floating or freestanding vanities, quartz or stone tops, undermount sinks, wall-hung or comfort-height toilets, and layered lighting with proper GFCI-protected circuits and exhaust ventilation sized to the room.
With the walls open, it's the moment to replace tired galvanized supply lines with copper or PEX, update the drain and vent, and move plumbing to support a new layout — restoring the water pressure these older Culver City homes lost decades ago.
All plumbing, electrical, and shower work permitted through Culver City Building Safety and carried to signed-off final inspection. We handle the submission and the corrections so the finished bathroom is fully legal and documented.
Professional, licensed and insured, and we put that in writing at every step, because a remodel is a trust decision before it is a construction decision.
California general contractor license CSLB #1021284 (General Building B), active since 2016, with general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Check the license yourself at cslb.ca.gov before you sign anything, with us or anyone else.
The proposal lists what is demolished, what is built, which finishes are included and which permit covers it. If it is not written down, it is not in the job.
When walls, floors or roofs open up we photograph what is behind them and send you the pictures. Anything beyond the scope is priced in writing before the crew continues. You never find out from the invoice.
California law caps a home-improvement deposit at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract, whichever is less. We follow it. Progress payments follow the work, and the final payment comes after your walkthrough.
We submit the plans, meet the inspector and close the permit. You get the closed-permit record, which is what a buyer, an insurer or an appraiser will ask for.
The people who estimate the job are the people who build it. No subcontractor hand-offs, no call center; your project lead answers the phone during the job and after it.
Culver City is its own city of about five square miles between Palms, Mar Vista and the Baldwin Hills, from the bungalow blocks around Downtown Culver City and the Culver Studios to the hillside streets of Culver Crest and Blair Hills. It permits its own work through the Building Safety Division at City Hall, 9770 Culver Boulevard, not LADBS, and our Valley Glen office is about 35–45 minutes away over the 405.
The older bungalows usually sit on raised foundations, which makes re-piping and moving a drain easier; many 1950s ranches are on slabs, where a relocated drain means saw-cutting the floor, so we keep the drain where it is when we can and price both options at the estimate. Every bathroom is permitted through the Culver City Building Safety Division at City Hall.
Plumbing and electrical work in Culver City is permitted through the City of Culver City Building Safety Division at City Hall, with the rough and final inspections scheduled around the build so the schedule does not slip; every bathroom we build is permitted.
A bathroom remodel in Culver City starts with a free on-site visit and ends with one fixed, written price that covers the whole scope, the permit from the City of Culver City Building Safety Division and the inspections, before any work begins.
The three things that change the price are the scope, what the house hides and the finishes you choose, and each is settled in writing before the crew moves on; final payment comes after your walkthrough.

The team completely transformed our master bathroom. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the communication was impeccable. They finished on time, on budget, and the craftsmanship is absolutely stunning. I've already referred them to three neighbors.
I had three contractors look at my bathroom before Right Image Builders. They were the only ones who came prepared with a real scope document and a fixed price. Six weeks later — my bathroom is incredible. The tile work alone is worth every penny.
Two bathrooms, new hardwood floors, kitchen cabinets, and a laundry room — all in one project. Right Image Builders coordinated everything flawlessly. They answered every text within the hour. This is how construction is supposed to work.
