The Right Image Approach

Valley Village's
Older-Home Bathroom Contractor

A bathroom is the most unforgiving room in a remodel. 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 crew, one fixed-price contract, one point of contact. 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.

What We Build

Full Scope,
Done Right the First Time

01

Tub-to-Shower Conversions

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.

02

Waterproofing Done Correctly

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.

03

Tile, Stone & Glass

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.

04

Vanities, Fixtures & Lighting

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.

05

Re-Plumbing & Re-Piping

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.

06

Permits & Inspections

All plumbing, electrical, and shower work permitted through LADBS and carried to signed-off final inspection, with historic-preservation considerations checked where an HPOZ or preservation pocket applies. We handle the submission and the corrections.

Building in Valley Village

We Know What's
Behind the Tile

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.

What It Costs

Ranges are typical Valley Village estimates for planning only and depend on scope, finishes, and existing conditions behind the walls. Your fixed-price proposal is set after the free on-site consultation. [VERIFY — owner to confirm current cost ranges before publish.]

Valley Village Bathroom FAQ

Questions We
Hear in Valley Village

Do you handle the permits for a bathroom remodel in Valley Village?+
Yes. Valley Village is City of Los Angeles, so bathroom plumbing and electrical work is permitted through LADBS. Because Valley Village has historic-preservation pockets and older-home character, we check whether your block sits in or near an HPOZ and account for it up front, even though most bathroom work is interior. We handle submission, corrections, and final sign-off; you never deal with the counter. Our Valley Glen office is immediately adjacent, so we know these submittals well.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Valley Village?+
Most Valley Village bathroom remodels run from about $18,000 for a straightforward guest-bath refresh to $55,000+ for a full renovation with a curbless shower and relocated plumbing. In the small original baths common to 1930s–40s bungalows, a tub-to-shower conversion with new tile, vanity, and fixtures usually lands in the $22,000–$35,000 range. You get a fixed-price proposal after the on-site visit. All figures are estimates pending your consultation. [VERIFY — owner to confirm current cost ranges before publish.]
Can you fit a real shower into a small 1930s bungalow bathroom?+
Yes — that is the most common Valley Village bathroom project. The original baths in these 1930s–40s bungalows are compact, so we make every inch count: converting a tub to a properly sloped walk-in or curbless shower, borrowing a few inches from a closet or hallway where the layout allows, and using clean tile and glass to make a small room feel larger. Where the home has period character, we keep the finishes sympathetic to it while adding modern function.
Do the old pipes in Valley Village homes need to be replaced?+
Often, yes. Many Valley Village bungalows are 80-plus years old and still have original galvanized steel supply lines that have corroded and choked down water pressure over the decades. When we open the walls for a bathroom remodel, it's the ideal time to re-pipe the bathroom in copper or PEX and add proper venting. We'll assess the existing plumbing at the estimate and tell you honestly whether a re-pipe is worth doing while the walls are open.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?+
A standard Valley Village bathroom remodel runs about 3–5 weeks from construction start. A guest-bath refresh on the same footprint is faster; a full renovation with moved plumbing, a curbless shower, and custom tile in an older bungalow takes longer, especially where original framing or plumbing needs correcting. You get a committed milestone schedule before demolition, plus realistic guidance on tile lead times so nothing stalls mid-project.
Are you licensed and insured, and do you offer free estimates in Valley Village?+
Yes on both. Right Image Builders holds active California license CSLB #1021284 with full liability and workers' compensation coverage. Our shop is in Valley Glen, immediately adjacent to Valley Village, so the on-site bathroom estimate is free and truly local — a senior team member comes out, not a call-center scheduler.
