A written price for your exact bathroom, free. Send a few photos or book a quick visit — we look at the real condition first, then put a fixed, itemised price in writing.

No guesses from a price list. Every bathroom is different underneath, so we look before we quote — and the number we give you is the number you pay.
Almost every bathroom we are called back to fix by another contractor failed at the shower pan or the curb, not at the tile. We use a bonded sheet membrane, flood-test the pan, and send you the photographs before a single tile goes on. If a future owner ever asks, the evidence exists.
On houses built before roughly 1978 we plan for cast-iron waste, galvanised supply and the occasional bit of knob-and-tube behind the vanity wall. Those are priced as named allowances in your contract rather than discovered mid-job and billed as a change order.
California Energy Code sets the exhaust requirement by room size, and a bathroom vented into an attic instead of outside will grow mould regardless of how good the tile is. We size the fan to the room and terminate it through the roof or wall.
One bathroom in Sacramento, CA — our own photographs, not a supplier's catalogue. Drag the handle, or use the arrow keys.
Stripped to the studs, re-plumbed, waterproofed, then tiled in large-format porcelain with a hex mosaic floor, a recessed niche and a bench.
The middle photograph is the one that matters. Once tile goes on, nobody can check whether the framing was sound, the pipes were replaced or the waterproofing was done properly — which is exactly why a bathroom that was tiled over bad work starts failing in a couple of years.
Photographs flatten finish work. This is one of our recent bathrooms on video, so you can see how the tile lines up and how the details meet.
Most of these are rights you have with any contractor. We are listing them because a contractor who is uncomfortable with them is telling you something.
For a home improvement contract, a deposit may not exceed $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less — Business & Professions Code §7159.5. Anyone asking for a third up front is breaking the law, not driving a hard bargain.
Any work over $500 requires an active CSLB licence. Ours is #1130134, and you can verify it, our bond and our workers' compensation on the state's own site: CSLB licence lookup.
A home improvement contract must be in writing, with the scope, the price and a payment schedule tied to work completed, before any work begins. That is how we write every job anyway.
You have a three-business-day right to cancel a home improvement contract signed at your home, and longer if you are 65 or over. We will remind you of it rather than hope you forget.
A secondary bathroom is usually two to three weeks on site; a primary bathroom with a custom shower runs three to four. Add one to two weeks before start for permit issue and for tile and fixtures to arrive. We give you the dated schedule with the contract, not after it.
If you are only replacing a vanity, a toilet or the tile in the same position, generally no. The moment plumbing moves, a wall changes, or electrical circuits are added, yes — and in most of our cities that is a plan-check submittal. We pull it and we meet the inspector.
Not the one being remodelled. If it is the only bathroom in the house, say so at the estimate: we sequence those jobs differently and compress the fixture-out window to the shortest it can safely be.
By California law a home improvement contract deposit cannot exceed $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less. We do not ask for more than that, and everything after it is tied to work actually completed.
Named allowances in the contract cover the common finds. Anything genuinely unforeseen is priced in writing and signed before we touch it. You will not receive a surprise invoice at the end.
We will look at your bathroom, tell you what it needs, and put a fixed price in writing. The visit and the estimate are free, and there is no obligation at the end of them.
