We’re Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills, part of the Relay Home Co. family since 2005.

Why Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills Is Calabasas’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Calabasas is not a city where you want a contractor learning the ropes. Between the HOA architectural review boards in communities like The Oaks, the hillside grading rules that Los Angeles County enforces harder here than almost anywhere else, and the simple reality of staging a job on a narrow gated street, the margin for error is thin. We’ve worked through enough Calabasas inspections to know what gets flagged and what gets signed off.
Every tech who walks into your home is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know the name and face before we arrive, because the photo comes with the live arrival time. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every project in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right, for a full year after close.
Our scheduling is coordinated out of our Los Angeles office, with crews serving Calabasas locally. When you call, a live person answers, 24/7. That’s not a call center, it’s our actual office. You’ll get a straight answer, not a callback queue.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower in Calabasas
A Walk In Shower in Calabasas is one of the most common upgrades we install, especially in the larger primary baths built from the 1980s onward in communities like Mountain View Estates. Most homeowners want the tub gone and a curbless, open shower in its place, with a linear drain, frameless glass, and a bench seat. On a canyon or hillside lot, the subfloor is rarely flat, which means the shower pan and preslope have to be built to compensate before any tile goes down.
Shower Pan and Waterproofing
On an out-of-level slab, a shortcut here leaks into the garage below. We build a proper preslope under the pan, run the waterproofing up the walls past the tile line, and use Schluter edge trim (the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor) so the transition is sealed, not caulked and hoping. This is the difference between passing inspection the first time and failing it twice.
Frameless Glass and Finishes
Calabasas HOAs often have finish standards, and frameless glass enclosures are usually on the approved list. We stock and install the hardware for both wall-mount and panel setups, and we coordinate the glass template after tile is set so there’s no redo. Budget $4,500 to $12,000 for a complete walk-in shower installation in Calabasas, depending on size, glass, and whether we’re moving the drain line.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Calabasas
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Calabasas are not all built the same, and the difference shows up fast on a constrained site. A company that works flatland subdivisions in the Valley will struggle when your project triggers a grading review or an HOA work-hour notice. We run every Calabasas job through the same playbook: identify the exterior-wall and window changes first, file the architectural review package before demo, and book staging in advance so the trailer never blocks a fire lane.
Permits and HOA Packages
Any remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or exterior walls needs a permit in Calabasas. If your bathroom sits on a downslope lot and we’re adding a window or moving a wall that bears on grade, the county may ask for a soils report and an erosion control plan. We pull all permits and handle the HOA submittal. You don’t chase paperwork.
What the Crew Actually Does
Demo comes out, then rough plumbing and electrical, then shower pan and waterproofing, drywall, tile, vanity, fixtures, and glass. Every night we sheet off the work area and vacuum. Every morning you get a photo of the prior day’s work and the plan for the day. The invoice you pay is the price you approved in writing.
For a full Bathroom Remodeling scope, expect $9,000 to $28,000 in Calabasas. Small baths and powder rooms run lower; a primary bath with a walk-in shower, custom vanity, and moving plumbing runs toward the top of that range.
Trusted Brands We Service in Calabasas
We install and service fixtures from Toto, American Standard, and Sterling, and we use Schluter waterproofing systems on every tile shower. That means when a Calabasas homeowner wants a Toto washlet rough-in or an American Standard soaking tub swapped for a walk-in shower, we’re working with manufacturer-backed products and the warranty that follows. We keep common parts stocked locally so a finish-stage change doesn’t stall your schedule for a week.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Calabasas Homes
- Hillside slab movement and out-of-level subfloors. Homes on downslope lots in Calabasas settle, and a bathroom floor that’s off by half an inch will crack a tile shower pan if you don’t build a proper preslope first. We level, then waterproof.
- HOA work-hour and staging violations. In gated communities like The Oaks, a contractor who blocks a neighbor’s driveway or runs a saw before the approved window will rack up fines that come out of your allowance. We file the work-hour notice and book parking in advance.
- Shared-wall noise complaints. Zero-lot-line homes in newer Calabasas developments transmit hammering and sawing straight through the wall. We schedule loud work in the approved window and use dust barriers and acoustic mats during the day.
- Water damage around toilet flanges and tub surrounds. We open up a lot of Calabasas baths to find rotted subfloor from a slow leak that was never caught. We replace the affected framing, sister the joists if needed, and rebuild the rough-in before any finish work starts.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Calabasas, CA
Here’s what you should expect to budget for a bathroom remodel in Calabasas. These are written-price ranges, not bait numbers.
| Project | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
What moves the number: whether we’re moving plumbing or keeping the existing rough-in, whether the lot slopes and triggers a grading review, glass size and hardware, and whether the vanity is stock or custom. The written price you approve before demo is the number on your final invoice. No change order surprises. Call (341) 217-2776 for a free estimate on your specific scope.
On a tight Calabasas lot, access affects the quote too. If we can’t get a trailer within sight of the house, we budget for a smaller vehicle and more trips, and we plan the staging area so we’re not blocking a shared driveway. That’s built into the price we give you, not added later.
And on a hillside lot, any remodel that touches an exterior wall or adds a window can trigger specialized drainage, retaining wall, and erosion-control review. We saw this on our job in The Oaks, where the original subfloor had rotted around the toilet flange. Because the home sits on a downslope lot, the rough-in for the new walk-in shower required an engineered retaining wall setback and a drainage swale before we could get inspection sign-off. We kept the scope explicit, booked parking for a 16-foot trailer, and used Kohler fixtures with a Cambria vanity top to match the HOA’s finish standards.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Calabasas
Yes, if your remodel touches exterior walls, windows, or anything visible from the street, you’ll need HOA architectural review approval before work starts. Interior-only work like a shower replacement or vanity swap usually doesn’t require HOA sign-off, but we always check your community’s specific rules first. Call (341) 217-2776 and we’ll pull the requirements for your address.
Sometimes. If we’re moving a wall that bears on grade, adding a window on a sloped elevation, or the project triggers the county’s hillside grading review, yes. Most interior-only remodels don’t. We’ll tell you upfront whether your scope crosses that line, and what the report costs before you commit.
Calabasas generally allows construction noise Monday through Saturday, with work typically permitted between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays. Gated communities like The Oaks often impose tighter windows inside their CC&Rs. We file the work-hour notice and schedule loud demo and saw work within the narrower window so you’re never fighting a neighbor complaint.
We schedule hammering and sawing inside the legal and HOA-approved window, use dust barriers, and communicate the daily plan so nothing surprises the house next door. On zero-lot-line homes in newer Calabasas developments, we also use acoustic mats under our cutting stations. It keeps the punch list moving and the neighbors off your back.
Yes, and it should show up in the written price, not as a surprise later. Tight access means we may need a smaller vehicle, more trips, and a pre-arranged staging area. We factor that into the quote before work starts. Call (341) 217-2776 for a free estimate that includes your specific site conditions.
