Our bathroom remodeling services in Palo Alto, CA range from a single upgrade, like a new vanity, to a complete renovation of the room. We work with Palo Alto homeowners who want a bathroom that’s easier to use, easier to clean and built to last, whether the house is an Eichler, a 1920s bungalow or a newer build. Three core services make up most projects; follow each link for the full details.
Shower remodeling
Shower remodeling replaces failing or cramped showers with new ones built over modern waterproofing. Options include tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in and curbless showers, tiled benches and niches, and framed or frameless glass. It’s the most common starting point for a Palo Alto bathroom remodel.
Bathtub installation
Bathtub installation covers replacing chipped, cracked or uncomfortable tubs with alcove, drop-in, freestanding, soaking or walk-in models. The work includes plumbing, the surround and new fixtures, and we plan the delivery route for heavy tubs before anything is ordered.
Vanity installation
Vanity installation brings in new cabinets, countertops, sinks and faucets, from compact floating vanities suited to mid-century homes to double vanities for busy primary baths. It’s a high-impact upgrade on its own or as part of a full remodel.
Supporting work
Most remodels include some of the following:
- Tub-to-shower conversions and walk-in showers.
- Tile and flooring, from mosaic shower floors to large-format porcelain.
- Toilet installation, including comfort-height and wall-hung models.
- Bathroom lighting, such as vanity lights, recessed lighting and dimmers.
- Ventilation, with quiet, properly vented exhaust fans.
- Accessible upgrades, including blocking for grab bars, benches and low thresholds.
These are quoted as part of the overall project, so you see the full scope in one place rather than as separate add-ons.
Partial update or full remodel?
A partial update, such as a new vanity and fixtures, can refresh a bathroom whose shower and floor are still sound. A full remodel makes sense when the shower leaks, the tile is failing, the layout is awkward or several items are worn out at once. Doing the work together usually costs less than tackling pieces one at a time, since demolition, plumbing and finishing happen once.
For Eichler owners, a full remodel is also a chance to fix original shortcomings, such as minimal ventilation and limited storage, while keeping the home’s mid-century character.
How we prepare a quote
Quotes start with a free in-home consultation. We measure the room, look at the plumbing, framing and ventilation, and talk through your goals and budget priorities. The proposal that follows lays out the scope, the materials and fixtures, and whether a permit is needed. Nothing is owed unless you choose to go ahead.
If you are early in the process and still gathering ideas, that is fine too. Many homeowners use the consultation to understand what is possible in their space, what tends to drive cost and which decisions need to be made first, then take time to decide.
