Valley Village bathrooms date from the house: galvanized supply lines, raised foundations and original cast-iron drains in the 1930s–40s bungalows. Behind the new tile, what decides whether the room lasts is waterproofing, slope and the supply lines, so a Valley Village bathroom proposal from us always prices the pan and the re-pipe, not just the finishes. Behind the tile is waterproofing, slope, and plumbing that has to be right the first time — because when a shower pan is done wrong, you don't find out until there's water in the ceiling below. In Valley Village, that risk runs high, because the homes are old enough that what's behind the wall is rarely what you'd hope.
We're based on Burbank Boulevard in Valley Glen, immediately adjacent to Valley Village, and we've remodeled bathrooms in these 1930s–40s bungalows and Spanish-style homes for over a decade. The original bathrooms here are small, tub-centric, and often still running on corroded galvanized supply lines. Our job is usually two things at once: fitting a real walk-in shower and clean, character-appropriate finishes into a compact room, and quietly fixing the plumbing and framing problems the last owner tiled over.
Everything happens under one roof — demo, waterproofing, plumbing, tile, glass, and finish. One contract covers design, LADBS, City of Los Angeles and construction; the project lead who does your estimate at home runs the build, and the itemized fixed-price proposal follows within 3–5 business days. And every permit is pulled through LADBS and closed with a signed final inspection, so the work is legal and documented, not a hidden liability when you sell.
The signature Valley Village 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. Ideal for making a small bungalow bath work harder.
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.
Handmade ceramic, zellige, porcelain, natural stone, and full-height shower walls — installed by our in-house tile crew with proper edge and transition systems. Period-appropriate patterns for a Spanish or bungalow home, plus 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 — scaled to a compact older-home bath.
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 80-plus-year-old Valley Village homes lost decades ago.
All plumbing, electrical, and shower work permitted through LADBS and carried to signed-off final inspection, with historic-preservation considerations checked where a historic designation applies. We handle the submission and the corrections.
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.
Valley Village bathrooms tell on the age of the house the moment we open a wall. Around the Colfax Meadows edge and the Valley Village Park area — between North Hollywood to the north and Studio City to the south — the original baths in these 1930s–40s bungalows share the same story: a single small tub-centric bath, galvanized supply lines corroded from the inside, and a fan that never actually vented outside.
Because Valley Village is City of Los Angeles, every bit of plumbing and electrical work is permitted through LADBS. The local wrinkle is character: Valley Village has historic-preservation pockets and HPOZ-sensitive blocks, and homeowners here care about keeping the original feel of the house. We check the overlay early and keep the finishes sympathetic to the architecture so the remodel adds function without erasing charm.
The honest conversation we have with nearly every Valley Village homeowner is about what's worth doing while the walls are open — re-piping, adding proper ventilation, or borrowing a few inches from a closet to fit a real shower on a smaller footprint. We build those decisions into the fixed price up front, so the finished bathroom isn't just beautiful, it's a bathroom that won't hand the next owner a problem. Our Valley Glen office is minutes away, which keeps us on-site and responsive.
Every bathroom remodel in Valley Village gets one fixed, written price after a free on-site visit: we measure the house, check what LADBS requires for the lot and price the whole scope before you sign anything.
What moves the number is the scope you choose, the condition we find behind the walls and the finish level, never a surprise invoice: anything we uncover during the work is priced in writing before the crew continues, and the 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.
