Bathroom Remodeling in Van Nuys

A bathroom fails at the waterproofing, not the tile. We build shower pans, curbless entries, and wet-wall assemblies the right way — sloped, sealed, and flood-tested before any tile goes up. That's the difference between a bathroom that lasts five years and one that lasts thirty.

We design every bathroom around real use: storage where you reach for it, lighting that flatters, ventilation that prevents mildew, and layouts that work whether you're five or eighty-five.

Why is shower waterproofing important?

Tile and grout are not waterproof — water passes through grout lines and reaches the substrate beneath. The waterproofing layer is what actually keeps water out of your walls and floors. A properly built shower has a fully waterproof membrane system — either a sheet membrane or a liquid-applied membrane — over a sloped mortar bed or pre-sloped pan. Every corner, niche, and penetration is sealed, and the pan should be flood-tested for 24 hours before any tile is installed. This is the step that most contractors rush or skip, and it's the #1 reason bathrooms fail within five years.

What causes tiled showers to leak?

The most common cause is failed or missing waterproofing behind the tile. Water penetrates through grout lines and reaches the waterproofing membrane beneath. If that membrane was never installed, was improperly lapped, or the pan wasn't sloped to the drain, water accumulates and eventually rots the framing. A shower floor must slope a minimum of 1/4" per foot toward the drain — without proper slope, water ponds and finds its way through the waterproofing.

Do bathroom remodels require permits?

Yes. Any bathroom remodel that involves moving or replacing plumbing, adding electrical circuits, or altering the shower or tub enclosure requires a building permit. Inspections happen at rough plumbing, rough electrical, and final. A licensed general contractor pulls the permit and coordinates every inspection so the work is legal, insurable, and documented.
