We know North Hollywood’s housing stock because we work in it every week. The pre-1940 stucco bungalows off Burbank Boulevard, the post-war apartments near Lankershim, the mid-century ranches west of Vineland – they all have their own quirks when you open up a bathroom. Our crews are scheduled out of the Los Angeles office and work locally in North Hollywood, which means the person who prices your job is the same one who shows up to build it.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is North Hollywood’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Sawyer Remodeling has been running bathroom projects under The Relay Standard since 2005, and North Hollywood homeowners keep calling us back for one reason: the price we put in writing is the price on the final invoice. No allowances that mysteriously run out. No change orders you find out about after the tile is already set. Our Bathroom Remodeling team walks the job, opens the walls where needed, and gives you a line-item quote before a single tool comes off the truck.
Every project runs on The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means a live arrival time so you’re not burning a half-day waiting on a four-hour window. Photo updates before and after each phase, sent to your phone. A digital invoice you pay from a link. And a background-checked, uniformed crew on site – you’ll know exactly who’s walking into your house before they get there.
We answer our phones with a live person, 24/7. When you call (254) 272-5876, you talk to a human who knows North Hollywood, not a voicemail queue. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers your remodel for a full year after close-out. If something isn’t done right, we make it right. In writing, on every job.
Styles & brands we work with
Small Bathroom Remodel in North Hollywood
A Small Bathroom Remodel in North Hollywood is a job we tackle constantly, because so many of the bungalows and apartments here have full baths under 50 square feet. These projects run $5,000 to $12,000 and usually include a new vanity, toilet, light fixtures, flooring, and a full tile surround or a new shower pan. The work is tight quarters, which makes layout the single biggest lever on cost – moving a toilet or rerouting a drain line in a slab foundation adds real money fast.
Working With Existing Footprints
The smart play in most North Hollywood small baths is keeping the toilet and shower where they are and spending your budget on materials that earn it back. A solid KraftMaid vanity, a Moen fixture set, porcelain tile, and good lighting transform a cramped bathroom without the plumbing roughed in twice. We sequence the work so you’re not without your only bathroom longer than necessary.
When the Layout Has to Change
Sometimes the original layout is so bad you have to move something. In those cases, we price the job only after checking what’s under the floor – several NoHo bungalows we’ve opened had original cast-iron drain lines that crumbled the moment we touched them. You get a written price for the rough-in replacement up front, not a surprise after the slab is cut.
Shower Remodel in North Hollywood
A Shower Remodel in North Hollywood usually means replacing a tired tub-shower combo with a walk-in shower, or gutting an existing stall that’s leaking through the grout. Depending on scope, these projects run $3,000 to $12,000, with walk-in shower installations at $4,500 to $12,000 and tub-to-shower conversions at $3,500 to $10,000. North Hollywood’s older homes often hide water damage behind the tile, so we scope the studs and subfloor before we quote.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
A tub-to-shower conversion in a 1920s NoHo bungalow isn’t just pulling out a tub and dropping in a pan. The old tub drain is usually 1-1/2 inch galvanized, and code today wants 2-inch ABS for a shower. That means opening the floor, cutting out the old drain and trap, and running new waste to the stack. We price that work in the quote, not as a change order.
Frameless Glass and Tile Details
Once the waterproofing is right, the finish work is where the room comes alive. Schluter edge trim – the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor – is standard on our jobs, not an upsell. Frameless glass enclosures from Kohler or Grohe finish the look. Every install gets a full waterproofing inspection before tile sets, because cracked grout in a North Hollywood shower means another full gut within a year.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Hollywood
We carry and install materials from brands North Hollywood homeowners actually ask for: KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria countertops, Kohler and Toto fixtures. We also work with Dvele and Cover on prefabricated panel systems when a client wants a faster build with a cleaner environmental profile. Because our crews work locally in North Hollywood, we can pull parts and materials same-day from LA suppliers instead of waiting on a shipment from out of state. If you want a specific brand, say so at the walk-through and we’ll price it accurately.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in North Hollywood Homes
- Hidden galvanized and cast-iron drain lines. Pre-1940 NoHo bungalows routinely have original drain plumbing that’s corroded through. You won’t see it until the walls open, and it has to be replaced before any fixture sets. That’s the top change-order driver on local bathroom jobs.
- Rotted subfloor under old tubs and toilets. Decades of slow leaks leave joists softened and floors sagging. Setting tile over that without repair means cracked grout and lippage within a year, so we sister or replace joists before waterproofing.
- Permit issues that stall the job. Skipping the City of Los Angeles permit for plumbing and electrical changes is the fastest way to have an inspector flag the project mid-build. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and make sure the job passes before the punch list.
- Thin allowances that blow the budget. Homeowners get a tile or fixture allowance that’s too low to actually buy what they picked. We write allowances at real-world levels for North Hollywood suppliers so your budget holds from start to finish.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in North Hollywood
Yes, if you’re changing plumbing, electrical, or structural elements, the City of Los Angeles requires a permit. We handle the permit pull and schedule inspections as part of the project. If you’re swapping a vanity and fixtures without moving anything, you can usually skip it, but we’ll walk you through what applies to your specific job.
The biggest reason is hidden galvanized or cast-iron drain lines in pre-1940 homes that have corroded and need replacement before any fixture sets. That work is invisible until demo happens. We mitigate it by checking what’s accessible during the walk-through and pricing the rough-in realistically up front, so your estimate already reflects what’s likely in the walls. Call (254) 272-5876 for a quote that accounts for North Hollywood’s actual housing stock.
Rough-in plumbing replacement, waterproofing scope, and material grade are the three big cost drivers. A tub-to-shower conversion with new drain and vent work costs more than a straight fixture swap. Premium tile, quartz countertops from Cambria, and custom glass enclosures push the number higher. We give you a line-item price so you see exactly where every portion goes.
Most full bathroom remodels in North Hollywood run two to four weeks from demo to final inspection. Small bathrooms and straightforward shower replacements are often done in ten to fourteen days. Permit inspections can add a few days depending on city scheduling, and hidden structural repairs extend the timeline. We’ll give you a realistic calendar before we start.
