Walk-in showers
A walk-in shower opens up a small bathroom and is easier to get in and out of. We build them with properly waterproofed walls and floors, recessed niches for storage, and tile from classic white to large-format marble-look slabs.




Tub-to-shower conversions
If you rarely use the tub, converting it to a shower gains space and makes the bathroom easier to use. Replacing the tub enclosure needs a permit in Salinas, which we handle as part of the job.

What a bathroom remodel costs in the Salinas area
We do not quote a single price before seeing your bathroom, because the cost depends on how much changes:
- Refresh. New vanity, fixtures, lighting and mirror in the same layout.
- Shower or tub update. A new surround, walk-in shower or tub-to-shower conversion.
- Full remodel. Everything down to the studs, often with fixtures moving to a new layout.
What drives the cost up
Moving plumbing fixtures, custom tile work, larger showers and glass, and older plumbing or wiring that has to meet current code once the walls are open.
What keeps the cost down
Keeping the toilet, sink and tub or shower in place, choosing stock vanities, and simpler tile layouts.
What your estimate includes
A written, itemized estimate with scope, materials, pricing and timeline. No hidden fees, no surprises.
How long a bathroom remodel takes
A fixture swap and a full gut remodel are very different jobs. Timing depends on the scope, on material lead times for tile, vanities and glass, and on the permit and inspections the City requires for tub, shower and plumbing changes. We give you a realistic schedule in writing, and we stick to it.
Permits and inspections in Salinas
The City of Salinas requires a permit for bathroom remodels that replace the tub or shower enclosure, relocate plumbing fixtures or cabinets, or add plumbing fixtures. Replacing a sink or toilet in the same spot does not need one, and plans are required if walls or fixtures are removed, added or moved.
Building permits are issued only to a licensed California contractor or the homeowner, so as a licensed contractor we handle the application and inspections. A permitted remodel also brings the bathroom up to current code, including ducted exhaust ventilation and, in homes built on or before January 1, 2017, water-efficient fixtures. Read the city's Residential Bathroom Remodel Guide, or our plain-language guide: do you need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Salinas? Homes in unincorporated areas are permitted by Monterey County.
