A full bathroom remodel in Tarzana typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller baths landing between $5,000 and $12,000. The price depends on what you’re moving, what you’re keeping, and whether your slab needs structural work first. Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills puts that number in writing before a single tool comes off the truck. Call (341) 217-2776 for a free estimate.
We work all over Tarzana, from the ranch homes south of Ventura Boulevard to the newer builds climbing toward the Santa Monica foothills. You’ll get a written line-item price, live arrival tracking, and photo updates before and after every phase. No surprises at the invoice. No chasing a contractor who disappears between framing and finish.
Why Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills Is Tarzana’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tarzana’s housing stock runs heavily to 1950s-1970s single-story ranches and California bungalows. That means original cast-iron drains, galvanized supply lines, and slabs that have been shifting for sixty years. We’ve worked on enough of them to know what’s behind the stucco before we open it up. Luca Romano, our lead at Sawyer Remodel Woodland Hills, walks every Tarzana job before the quote goes out.
Every project runs under The Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before work starts, a live arrival time on the day, and photo updates before and after. The crew shows up background-checked and uniformed. You know exactly who is walking into your home. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every job in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right, for a full year after close-out. Those are standing commitments, not upgrades you pay extra for.
Most Tarzana homeowners call us because someone they know already used us. That’s how Bathroom Remodeling work spreads in a neighborhood like this. The referrals come from Reseda, Encino, and Woodland Hills too, but Tarzana keeps us busiest.
Styles & brands we work with
One Day Bath Remodel in Tarzana
A One Day Bath Remodel in Tarzana is a specific kind of job: we keep the existing footprint, swap the tub or shower, replace the surround, install new trim and fixtures, and wrap it in a day. It’s not the project for moving walls or rerouting drains. It’s the project for a 1960s hall bath that’s water-stained and dated but still in the right place. Expect to spend $3,500 to $10,000 depending on finishes and the condition of the rough-in we uncover.
What gets a Tarzana homeowner here? Usually a guest bath that’s embarrassing, a primary bath that’s failing, or a house going up for sale where the bathroom is dragging the listing photos down. You want it done before you lose a week of work or a month of showings.
What a one-day bath covers
We pull the existing tub or shower pan, inspect the subfloor and drain, then set the new unit, run new wall panels or tile-ready board, trim it out, and hook up fixtures. If the existing valve and drain are in good shape, the rough-in stays. We keep a written punch list and walk you through everything before we start.
What it doesn’t cover
A one-day bath is not a gut remodel. If we open the wall and find a corroded cast-iron waste line, which happens often enough on the older Tarzana ranches, we’ll document it and give you a written scope for the repair before touching it. The day stops being one day when the slab has to come up. We tell you that upfront, not after you’ve planned around a one-day timeline.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Tarzana
A full-scope Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Tarzana handles the job where you are moving walls, reconfiguring plumbing, or changing the footprint of a primary bath. These projects run $9,000 to $28,000 on average in Tarzana. The range reflects whether you’re opening up a small hall bath or rebuilding a primary suite with custom cabinetry and architectural glass.
This is the tier where lead times drive the schedule, not labor. Custom vanities from KraftMaid or Wellborn, specialty glass, and long-lead stone from Cambria or Caesarstone can take weeks to arrive. If the allowance isn’t locked in writing before ordering, your draw schedule slips and the bathroom sits empty. We fix the price and the allowance before we order a thing.
Working with designers and architects
A good number of Tarzana remodels come to us with an architect or designer already on board. We coordinate directly with them on tile layouts, fixture schedules, and cabinet shop drawings. They make the design calls; we make sure the framing, waterproofing, and rough-in can actually deliver it.
What the schedule actually looks like
The structural work comes first. On slabs south of Ventura, that can mean piering or soil stabilization before we even think about tile. Then rough-in, inspection, drywall, waterproofing, finish surfaces, and fixtures. A realistic timeline for a full primary bath in Tarzana is six to ten weeks. Anyone promising half that is either skipping inspections or about to surprise you with a change order.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tarzana
We install what we can stand behind, which is why our material list stays short and proven: Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry. The brands we service on the waterproofing side matter more than most homeowners realize in Tarzana. For the roof and exterior tie-ins, we carry GAF and certain James Hardie products, plus PGT impact-rated glazing on jobs where a bathroom bump-out meets an exterior wall. We keep common replacement parts stocked for quick turnarounds, so a broken shower valve doesn’t stall a finish schedule for a week.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Tarzana Homes
- Shifting slabs on clay-rich soil. Homes south of Ventura Boulevard sit on expansive clay that moves with moisture. Cracked shower pans and tiles that pop off the plane of the wall are usually not a tile installer’s error – they’re a soil movement problem nobody checked for.
- Corroded cast-iron waste lines. The original 50s and 60s plumbing hides behind stucco and under slabs. Galvanized supply lines and undersized vents fail inspection, and the fix is not optional once the wall is open.
- Shower waterproofing failures from decades of shortcuts. Old Tarzana bathrooms often have drywall behind tile with no waterproofing membrane. Humidity gets in, mold follows, and the grout never stays sealed.
- Long-lead finish surprises. A custom vanity or frameless glass enclosure ordered after demo can add six to ten weeks to a schedule. The order needs to go in with the price locked, not after the walls are open.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Tarzana
Yes. Any structural change or plumbing relocation in Tarzana requires a permit through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Moving a non-bearing wall still requires plan check when plumbing relocates, and slab work south of Ventura will almost always trigger a soils review. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and pass them before cover-up. Skipping the permit isn’t a shortcut – it becomes a disclosure problem when you sell the house.
They affect it less than first-floor rooms, but they still matter. A second-story bathroom adds weight to the structure, and if the slab below has already shifted, the framing above may be out of level. We check the line from ridge to slab before we frame anything new. If the house needs piering, it’s better to know before tile goes on the second floor wall, not after the first wet winter cracks the grout. Call (341) 217-2776 and we’ll walk you through what we check and why.
Six to ten weeks is realistic for a full primary bath with custom cabinetry, architectural glass, and stone. The cabinets and glass are usually the long pole – some take six weeks from shop drawings to delivery. We order everything against a written allowance and a fixed schedule, so you know the date before you commit. Call us and we’ll lay out the full timeline for your specific job.
Usually yes, but it depends on what the slab looks like when we open it. On a 1960s ranch on Hatteras Street south of Ventura, our crew gutted a hall bath and found the original cast-iron waste line corroded under a shifting clay slab. We scoped the repair in writing, brought in piering to stabilize the floor, then reframed the shower for a curbless Kohler pan and custom white-oak vanity. Inspection sign-off happened before the tile went up. The answer isn’t always pretty, but it’s always written down first.
Yes. Every tile allowance, fixture allowance, cabinet allowance, and glass allowance is written into the contract before we order a single item. That means the number you approve is the number we work against. If you upgrade the stone mid-job, we show you the delta at that moment. Call (341) 217-2776 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
