Bathrooms built for Encino homes

In Encino the bathroom question usually comes down to one of two rooms. In a ranch house south of Ventura Boulevard it is the original hall bath, small and tiled in a color nobody chose on purpose. In the larger houses up in the Encino Hills it is the primary suite, which may be big already and still not work.

Girl Flip Construction is a licensed, women-led, family-owned general contractor in Canoga Park, California license #1091248. We handle the plumbing, the waterproofing, the tile, the glass and the permit as one job, and we write the scope down after a walkthrough so you can see what is in the price. For how we build a bathroom anywhere in the city, see bathroom remodeling across Los Angeles.

Encino Homes

What Encino houses mean for a bathroom

Larger Encino homes often have a primary bath that is big but dated: a corner tub nobody uses, a tiny shower and one sink. Those projects are mostly about moving fixtures within the room, which means moving plumbing, and the permit follows. Combining two small baths into one suite, swapping the corner tub for a walk-in shower and adding a second vanity are the changes we hear about most.

We keep the house livable while we work, with dust barriers, daily cleanup and a weekly update, and we confirm any extra review on a hillside street before we draw anything.

Permits

Permits and who to call in Encino

Encino is part of the City of Los Angeles, so bathroom permits come from LADBS, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. A bathroom is a plumbing permit first. Moving a toilet, shower or tub, adding a fixture, or adding circuits for a heated floor or a second vanity generally needs one. Replacing a vanity, a toilet or a faucet in the same spot usually does not.

Parcels in the Encino Hills near Mulholland Drive may sit inside the Mulholland Scenic Parkway Specific Plan, which reviews exterior changes. A bathroom that stays inside the walls is rarely affected. We check your address first and tell you before you commit to a plan. For everything else we build here, see our other Encino services.

Cost and Timeline

What a bathroom remodel costs in Encino and how long it takes

An Encino bathroom remodel starts around $40,000 for labor and construction materials. Tile, vanity, fixtures and shower glass are priced separately, so that part of the budget is yours to steer. Once the permit is issued, plan on about 5 to 10 weeks on site, and bigger scopes take longer. The table shows how a bathroom compares with a whole-home project, and you get a line-item estimate in writing before work starts.

Good Questions

Encino Bathroom Remodeling FAQs

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Encino?
If we move plumbing, change electrical or alter walls, you need a permit from LADBS. A simple cosmetic update may not. We tell you which category your project falls into.
Do Encino Hills homes need different work than the flats?
Sometimes. Larger estate bathrooms in the hills often involve more custom tile and cabinetry, while flats homes usually need a straightforward, full gut remodel of a smaller room.
Do you remodel primary bathrooms in Encino?
Yes. Primary suite remodels are some of our most common Encino projects. We can reconfigure the layout, add a larger shower and upgrade lighting, storage and ventilation.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Encino?
Bathroom remodels in Encino start at $40,000. Pricing includes labor and construction materials only, and finishes are determined by your selections. We give you a written estimate after a walkthrough.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Encino?
Most bathroom remodels take about 5 to 10 weeks, depending on scope, tile selections and permit timing. We share a written schedule before we start.
Who issues bathroom remodel permits in Encino?
The City of Los Angeles handles permits through LADBS, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. We prepare the plans, submit the permit and manage inspections when your project moves plumbing, changes electrical or alters walls.
Do you work in all of Encino?
Yes. We work across Encino, including the flats south of Ventura Boulevard and the Encino Hills. Our shop is in Canoga Park.
Can you turn a tub into a walk in shower in Encino?
Yes. This is one of the most requested bathroom projects. We rebuild the waterproofing, drain and valve, then tile and set the glass.
Can I add a second sink or move the toilet in my Encino bathroom?
Yes, if the room and the plumbing allow it. Moving a toilet or adding a sink changes drain and supply lines, which is a permit item with LADBS. We look at the floor and the walls on the walkthrough and tell you what it takes before you decide.
What is the difference between a bathroom refresh and a gut remodel?
A refresh keeps the layout and swaps surfaces and fixtures, like a vanity, mirror, paint and lighting. A gut remodel takes the room to the studs, so the plumbing, waterproofing, tile and layout can all change. Our remodels start at $40,000 for labor and construction materials, and we say which one your room needs.
Do you handle the shower glass and the tile in one job?
Yes. Tile, waterproofing, the shower valve and the glass are scheduled together so one trade is not waiting on another. Custom glass is made to measure after the tile is set, which is why it is often one of the last items on the schedule.
