The Right Image Approach

Toluca Lake Baths,
Either Side of the Line

Toluca Lake bathrooms date from the house: plaster walls, raised foundations and galvanized lines in the 1930s–40s houses. Behind the new tile, what decides whether the room lasts is waterproofing, slope and the supply lines, so a Toluca Lake bathroom proposal from us always prices the pan and the re-pipe, not just the finishes. Behind the beautiful tile is waterproofing, slope, and plumbing that has to be executed perfectly — because a shower pan done wrong doesn't announce itself until there's water in the ceiling below. In Toluca Lake, where homeowners invest in high-end finishes, that invisible layer matters even more.

Toluca Lake also has a quirk that trips up contractors: the neighborhood sits across two cities. Some homes are in the City of Los Angeles; others are in the City of Burbank. Because a bathroom remodel pulls plumbing and electrical permits, that single fact changes how the job gets approved. Before anything else, we confirm which jurisdiction your parcel falls under — LADBS for the LA side, the City of Burbank Building Division for the Burbank side — and route the permits accordingly.

From there, our team handles every trade in-house: demo, waterproofing, plumbing, tile, glass, and finish. The homes deserve that care — Toluca Lake's traditional and Spanish houses are built for spa-style master baths and the luxury materials this market expects. Based a short drive away in Valley Glen, we're close enough to be on-site regularly, whichever side of the line you're on.

What We Build

Full Scope,
Done Right the First Time

01

Spa & Master Baths

Curbless wet rooms, freestanding tubs, linear-drain showers, double vanities, heated floors, and full-height stone — the high-end master bath Toluca Lake homeowners want, engineered so the luxury is backed by proper waterproofing.

02

Walk-In & Curbless Showers

Tub-to-shower conversions and zero-threshold showers with sloped pans, niches, benches, and frameless glass — built with correct membrane and slope systems, not just tile over a hope.

03

High-End Tile, Stone & Glass

Large-format porcelain, natural stone, handmade ceramic, and zellige, with full-height walls and custom detailing — installed by our in-house tile crew with proper edges, transitions, and templated frameless glass for the finish this market expects.

04

Layout Changes

Borrowing from a closet or adjacent room to fit a double vanity or a real shower, relocating plumbing, and reconfiguring the compartmentalized original baths in Toluca Lake's traditional and Spanish homes — all permitted through the correct LA or Burbank department.

05

Re-Plumbing & Ventilation

With the walls open, we replace corroded galvanized supply lines with copper or PEX, update the drain and vent, and add exhaust ventilation sized to the room — restoring performance the older homes lost.

06

Permits — LA or Burbank

We confirm whether your Toluca Lake home is in the City of LA or the City of Burbank, then carry the plumbing and electrical permits, plan check, and inspections through the correct department to signed-off final inspection.

Building in Toluca Lake

One Neighborhood,
Two City Halls

Toluca Lake's defining feature for any remodel is invisible on the surface: the jurisdiction line. The neighborhood is split between the City of Los Angeles and the City of Burbank, and which side your home is on decides everything about permitting — the department, the plan-check process, the fees, and the inspection calendar. Because a bathroom pulls plumbing and electrical permits, that split matters on every project. LA-side homes go through LADBS; Burbank-side homes go through the City of Burbank's Building Division.

This is exactly the kind of detail that separates a local contractor from an out-of-area bidder. We confirm your parcel's jurisdiction before we design, so there are no mid-project surprises. The Toluca Lake village and the Toluca Woods edge both sit in this split zone, minutes from Warner Bros. and Universal — an affluent, private, high-finish market.

The homes are traditional and Spanish, often 60–80 years old, with small compartmentalized original baths built for spa-style redesigns and luxury tile. In Toluca Lake the conversation while the walls are open is about plaster walls: re-piping galvanized lines, adding real ventilation, and getting slope and waterproofing right, all priced into the fixed proposal before demolition. We fold those into the fixed price so your beautiful new bathroom is sound where it counts, whichever side of the line you're on.

What Clients Say About
Our Bathroom Remodeling Work

★★★★★

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.

Toluca Lake Bathroom FAQ

Questions We
Hear in Toluca Lake

Yes — and Toluca Lake has a wrinkle no other neighborhood does: it straddles two jurisdictions. Properties on the Los Angeles side are permitted through LADBS, while properties on the Burbank side go through the City of Burbank's Building Division. Because a bathroom remodel involves plumbing and electrical permits, the very first thing we do is confirm which jurisdiction your specific parcel falls under, then handle the entire permit process on the correct side. You never deal with either counter.

Toluca Lake bathroom remodel cost (2026): Premium Refresh $28K–$40K; Tub-to-Shower $35K–$52K; Spa Master $55K–$95K+. Time on site 3–6 weeks, the longer end for a gut primary bath with relocated plumbing. The exact figure depends on size, finishes and structural work; after the free on-site visit you get an itemized fixed price in writing.

For permitting, yes. The two jurisdictions have different plan-check processes, fees, and inspection calendars, so knowing which one your parcel is in changes the timeline and the paperwork for the plumbing and electrical work. For the construction itself, our scope and quality are identical either way. We determine the jurisdiction at the start and manage the whole process on the correct side, so the split is our problem to handle, not yours.
Yes — spa baths are one of the most requested Toluca Lake projects. We build curbless wet rooms with a freestanding tub inside the glass, linear-drain showers, full-height stone or large-format tile, heated floors, and custom niches and benches. Every one is properly waterproofed and sloped so the high-end finish this market expects is backed by a shower that won't leak — permitted through whichever jurisdiction your home sits in.
Regularly. Many of Toluca Lake's traditional and Spanish homes have small, compartmentalized original baths that homeowners want opened up and reconfigured for a double vanity or a larger shower — we relocate plumbing and borrow space from a closet or adjacent room to do it. While the walls are open it's also the right time to replace tired galvanized supply lines with copper or PEX, all permitted on the correct LA or Burbank side.

Yes. Right Image Builders is a licensed California general contractor, CSLB #1021284, with general liability and workers' compensation insurance; verify the license in minutes at cslb.ca.gov under "Check a License" and ask us for the insurance certificates. The Toluca Lake estimate is free and on site, done by the project lead who will run the job, and the itemized fixed-price proposal follows within 3–5 business days.

Right Image Builders, a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1021284) based in Valley Glen about 15 minutes from Toluca Lake, remodels bathrooms across the village around Riverside Drive, Toluca Woods, the Burbank side along Clybourn Avenue under one fixed-price contract: design, permits through LADBS or Burbank, and construction by one crew, with final payment only after your walkthrough. 5.0★ on Google (45 reviews) and 4.9★ on Angi (103 reviews).

Go to cslb.ca.gov, choose "Check a License" and enter the number; ours is 1021284. Confirm the license is active, classified B (General Building Contractor), bonded, and shows workers' compensation. Then ask for a written fixed-price contract with scope, materials, schedule and payment terms; California law requires it, and it is the only way to hold any contractor to the promise.
