Hollywood Hills bathrooms span forty years of taste and the same plumbing problem: galvanized supply lines in the prewar canyon houses, drains that run downhill to a lateral in the street below, and rooms built small for houses that are now valued on their baths. The 1950s–60s houses have primary baths with the view side wasted on a wall; the 1920s–30s houses have tile worth keeping and everything behind it worth replacing.
Behind the new tile, the Hollywood Hills house sets the scope. The plumbing is typically galvanized supply lines in the prewar houses, raised foundations and stepped footings on the slopes, and drains that run downhill to a lateral in the street below. 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 20–25 minutes away, so the project lead who does your estimate is on site through the 3–6 weeks the build takes, and most Hollywood Hills families stay in the home. On a sloped lot the staging and the carry-in are priced before the tile is.
The signature Hollywood Hills 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 Hollywood Hills homes lost decades ago.
All plumbing, electrical, and shower work permitted through LADBS and carried to signed-off final inspection. We handle the submission and the corrections so the finished bathroom is fully legal and documented.
The Hollywood Hills run along the south face of the Santa Monica Mountains from Laurel Canyon and Nichols Canyon on the west through Outpost Estates and Whitley Heights to the Cahuenga Pass, Lake Hollywood, Beachwood Canyon and Hollywoodland on the east, with Mulholland Drive along the ridge and the Hollywood Sign above it. Our office is in Valley Glen, about nine miles away over Laurel Canyon or the 101, a 20–25 minute drive; permits run through LADBS, with plan check at the Metro Development Services Center downtown, and nearly every parcel is under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance.
The projects we build most here are the primary-bath renovation that turns the view side into the shower wall, and the hall-bath restoration in the prewar houses, with raised foundations that make re-piping and relocating a drain crawlspace work instead of concrete. On a canyon lot the staging and the carry-in are priced before the tile is, and the work is permitted through LADBS with the rough and final inspections scheduled around the build.
Plumbing and electrical work in Hollywood Hills is permitted through LADBS (City of Los Angeles) at the Metro Development Services Center, with the rough and final inspections scheduled around the build so the schedule does not slip; every bathroom we build is permitted.

(818) 210-4544The 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.
