ABOUT BATHROOM REMODELING

Bathroom remodels in Los Angeles are some of the most popular home improvement projects. When a homeowner in LA remodels their bathroom, not only does it make a great impact on your everyday life, it will add a significant amount of value to your home.

Will I need a permit to remodel my bathroom?
Yes. The city of Los Angeles requires a permit to be issued for different types of work for bathroom remodeling including structural, plumbing and electrical to name a few. Not only do you need one, it’s highly recommended. When you obtain a permit, you will need to go through inspection, which ensures that your project follows all the necessary requirements and building codes. Doing work without a permit can leave you at risk of your contractor cutting corners or not doing the work as its required. Home insurances will not cover any unpermitted work you do.

Hiring a qualified and licensed contractor.
Hiring an unlicensed contractor for a bathroom remodeling is one of the biggest mistake’s homeowners make, especially when something goes wrong in the project. By California law, all contractors, plumbers, electricians, etc. must be licensed by CSLB, and must be bonded and fully insured. If someone gets hurt on the job site, the contractor insurance will cover you and not leave you with the possibility of being liable. When you hire a contractor, it’s important that you check their license status on the CSLB website. In addition, it’s a must that you qualify your contractor. To qualify a contractor, you must see their work, talk to references, visit finished and ongoing projects, and make sure you ask all these questions when you meet potential contractors you want to work with for the bathroom remodeling project.

Considering other projects?
In LA, it’s very common for homeowners to do all the work needed at once. It doesn’t make sense to only remodel your bathroom if you know that there is more work that needs to be done, like upgrading your plumbing pipes or re-routing a drain. You could end up spending more money than if you took care of it all at once and must deal with construction again. When you hire a contractor to do more than one project at a time, you might be able to save some money rather than piecing it out or doing it in phases.
