Why Mason Remodeling Is Burbank’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve been in business since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, and the way we run a Burbank job is the same way we run every job: a written price before a single tool is unpacked, a named and photo-verified crew at your door, and a guarantee that lasts 365 days from completion. No verbal ballparks that drift upward. No surprise invoices on week three. The Threshold Standard is a named process, not a slogan: every technician is background-checked, identity-verified, arrives in a clean marked uniform, and shows you a photo ID badge before stepping inside. Burbank homeowners often tell us the written price was the reason they called us instead of the other two bids they had.
We coordinate scheduling and dispatch from the brand’s Los Angeles office, but the crews who do the work serve Burbank locally. That means when a pre-war cast-iron drain gets discovered mid-demolition on a Magnolia Park bungalow, the person making the call has already seen twenty Burbank basements like it. Local knowledge matters here, and we’ve built the page you’re reading around the specific conditions we actually find in Burbank.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Burbank
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Burbank does more than swap a vanity and call it done. A real remodel here starts with demo down to the studs and subfloor, then re-plumbs, re-wires, re-tiles, and rebuilds. In Burbank, that work is shaped by the housing stock: much of the city’s inventory was built between 1920 and 1960, and those homes come with cast-iron drains, galvanized supply lines, and framing that’s not always square. A full bathroom remodel in Burbank runs $9,000 to $28,000, with the low end covering a compact guest bath and the high end reflecting a master bath with a walk-in shower, custom vanity, and high-end finishes.
What the Job Actually Involves
We start with a site visit and a line-item written quote. Then permit submittal (more on that below), demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, inspection, drywall and waterproofing, tile, trim, fixtures, and final inspection. The schedule depends on scope, but a standard full bath in Burbank lands between two and four weeks from demo to final walkthrough.
Permit and Inspection Realities
Burbank requires plan review for bathroom work on pre-1940 homes, even small changes. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspections, and make sure every job closes out with sign-off. Skipping it is a false economy: unpermitted work gets flagged at resale and costs more to correct than it saved.
Walk In Shower in Burbank
A Walk In Shower in Burbank means a curbless or low-curb shower, a proper waterproofing system like a Schluter strip (the metal trim that seals the edge where tile meets flooring), and a drain that actually moves water. We install walk-in showers for $4,500 to $12,000 in Burbank, and the range is driven by tile choice, glass enclosure, bench or niche work, and what we find when we open the wall. Older Burbank homes with raised foundations usually need subfloor reinforcement before tile goes in, which is why the low end of any honest bid here is higher than a national chat-forum answer.
From Tub to Walk-In
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower in Burbank runs $3,500 to $10,000. The work involves removing the tub, relocating the drain, re-sloping the pan, and waterproofing everything from the floor up. On pre-war bungalows, the old tub often sits over a rotted subfloor, so we price for the repair we expect, not the repair we hope to skip.
Frameless Glass and Finishes
Frameless glass enclosures, handheld sprayers, niches, benches, and zero-threshold entries all move the final number. We’ll walk you through each line item and show you what each choice costs before you commit, not after.
Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank
We stock and install specification-grade materials from a short list of vetted partners, including KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone surfaces, and Kohler, Moen, and Toto fixtures. Our crews are familiar with product lead times for Burbank suppliers, so you’re not waiting six weeks for a shower valve that should’ve been ordered on day one. These are professional-grade products, not big-box downgrades, and the pricing is written into your quote. Quality stays high; the guesswork stays out.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Burbank Homes
- Cast-iron drain failures in pre-war homes. In Magnolia Park, we regularly see 1920s – 1940s bungalows with original cast-iron drains that are root-infested or crumbling at the hubs, which means the drain gets replaced, not patched.
- Galvanized supply lines that disintegrate on touch. Many mid-century Burbank homes still have galvanized pipe. Plumbers find them mid-demo, and the change order adds days and unexpected cost if the original bid didn’t plan for it.
- Out-of-level slabs and soft subfloors. Burbank sits on varied soil and older slabs are rarely flat. Self-leveling compound and subfloor repair are frequently omitted from initial bids, then become a punch to the budget.
- Missing venting in original layouts. Homes built before modern plumbing codes often lack proper vent stacks. The fix is usually an air admittance valve or tying into an existing stack, which is the kind of local code detail a generic remodeler misses.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Burbank
Yes. Burbank requires permits for any bathroom remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural work, and pre-1940 homes face additional plan review. Mason Remodeling pulls every permit and coordinates inspections. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific house triggers.
Most full bathrooms take two to four weeks from demolition to final inspection. A compact guest bath can finish in under two weeks; a master bath with a walk-in shower, custom vanity, and tile work runs closer to four. We give you the calendar in writing with the quote.
We price for what we expect to find based on the age and location of the home. On pre-war Burbank homes, that means budgeting for cast-iron drain replacement and subfloor repair in the original quote, not springing it on you mid-project. If something genuinely unanticipated shows up, we document it, show you photos, and get written approval before proceeding.
Yes, and we do it regularly. The process is the same as a house conversion, but the building’s CC&Rs or HOA rules may add a layer, and access to the unit’s main plumbing stack can vary. We’ll review those details before quoting so you know what’s covered. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate.
