Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Granada Hills
Most Granada Hills homes were built in the 1950s and 60s, and their bathrooms tell that story the moment you open a wall. Cast-iron drain lines, mud-set tile floors, and subfloors that have been quietly failing for decades. A bathroom remodel here is rarely just tile and a new vanity. It’s drain replacement, subfloor repair, and plumbing brought up to modern code. Mason Remodeling scopes that work and prices it in writing before demo starts, so you know the full number before a single tool is unpacked. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk through your bathroom with you.

Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Granada Hills
A Shower Remodel in Granada Hills on a 1950s-era home usually means more than pulling out tile and putting in new. You’re dealing with a mud-set pan that has to be chipped out by hand, a drain that’s likely original cast iron, and walls that need new waterproofing before any tile goes up. We do this work the right way: perform the demo, inspect the drain and subfloor, then write the scope to match what’s actually there before the finish materials are ordered. A shower remodel in Granada Hills typically runs $3,000 – $8,500 for a replacement, or $4,500 – $12,000 for a full walk-in shower installation with new waterproofing, fixtures, and tile.
Walk-In Shower Installation
For homeowners around Granada Hills who want to lose the tub threshold and gain an accessible, open shower, we start with the same question: what’s under the floor? Mud-set bases on 1960s slabs don’t always have the slope needed for a curbless shower, so we check slope and drain location before we promise a curbless design. Then we build it right: preslope, Schluter membrane, and proper drain assembly.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
A frameless glass enclosure over a new shower is where the finished look comes together. We measure after tile is set, not before, so the glass fits the actual opening. For Granada Hills homes with slightly out-of-plumb walls from 60 years of settling, that measurement discipline is the difference between a door that closes clean and one that binds at the hinge.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Granada Hills
A Tub to Shower Conversion in Granada Hills is one of the most common projects we do for older bathrooms where the tub is too deep, too cramped, or just not what the household needs anymore. The old tub comes out, the drain gets relocated and inspected, and a new shower takes its place with proper waterproofing and tile. We see Granada Hills homeowners choosing this conversion because it opens up the bathroom visually and makes the room easier to use without moving any walls. A tub-to-shower conversion in Granada Hills typically runs $3,500 – $10,000 depending on tile selection, glass, and whether the drain needs to be repositioned.
Bathtub Replacement
If you’re keeping a tub, a bathtub replacement is still a full extraction: the old unit comes out, the drain and trap get a hard look, and the new tub goes in with new trim and a properly sealed surround. On Granada Hills homes where the original tub was set in a mud base, we account for the weight and the floor structure before we schedule demo.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Small bathrooms in Granada Hills run on the same rules as big ones, just in less square footage. A powder room or hall bath still needs a working drain, a solid subfloor, and waterproofing. We price small bathroom remodels at $5,000 – $12,000, with the number moving based on what we find when the old tile comes up.
Trusted Brands We Service in Granada Hills
We install and work with brands that hold up under real use: Kohler and Moen for fixtures, Cambria and Silestone for surfaces, and Schluter for waterproofing systems. Because our crews work Granada Hills jobs regularly, we keep common trim kits, valves, and installation materials moving through our local supply chain, which keeps replacement parts and warranty followups moving without dragging your project out. We also work with specification-grade product lines across the Threshold Group network, including partners like Sakrete for setting materials on jobs that need structural repair before finish work. No knockoff parts. No supply-chain surprises.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Granada Hills Homes
- Corroded cast-iron drain lines. Homes built before the mid-1960s in Granada Hills often still have original cast-iron waste pipes. They rust from the inside out, and by the time you’re remodeling, the pipe walls can be paper-thin or already cracked.
- Mud-set tile floors with failing subfloors. The original mud bed is heavy and water-resistant, but it traps moisture. Around a toilet flange that has leaked over decades, the plywood underneath can rot to the point that the toilet is sitting on compromised structure.
- Non-permitted prior work. We regularly open walls in Granada Hills and find electrical or plumbing that was done without permits. That work has to be corrected and inspected under current code before we can build on top of it.
- Improper waterproofing from previous remodels. A shower that looks fine on the surface can be leaking behind the wall. When we demo a shower, we check what waterproofing was actually installed, and often it’s not up to current standards.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Granada Hills
Yes. Any remodel that moves plumbing, changes the drain, alters the electrical, or modifies the structure needs a permit from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. That involves submitting plans or a scope of work, scheduling inspections at the rough-in and final stages, and having the work signed off by a city inspector. Mason Remodeling pulls the permits for your Granada Hills project and manages the inspection schedule. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you exactly what your scope will require.
Because Granada Hills housing stock is from the 1950s and 60s. The cast-iron drains, mud-set floors, and old wiring that newer houses don’t have all add real scope: drain replacement, subfloor repair, and code corrections. A $12,000 quote for a newer home can legitimately be $18,000 in Granada Hills when the drain and subfloor have to be addressed, and that’s not padding, it’s the actual work. We price the actual work.
A full bathroom remodel in Granada Hills costs $9,000 – $28,000. Small bathrooms run $5,000 – $12,000. Walk-in shower installations run $4,500 – $12,000, and tub-to-shower conversions run $3,500 – $10,000. These reflect the cost of doing it with permits, with proper waterproofing, and with the drain and subfloor work Granada Hills homes usually need. Call (803) 680-2547 for your exact quote.
Yes, and we plan for them. On 1950s and 60s Granada Hills homes, the surprises are predictable: corroded cast-iron drains, rotted subfloor around the toilet flange, non-permitted electrical from a past owner. We’re not surprised by any of it, and we write scope allowances into the quote so a rotted floor doesn’t become a change order. Our crew recently gutted a hall bathroom off Chatsworth Street where the original mud-set tile hid a corroded cast-iron P-trap and a subfloor eaten down to the joists around the toilet. Pre-1953 drain lines that are friable or in poor condition require special handling under modern plumbing code, so we wrote the drain replacement and new plywood subfloor into the scope before demo, pulled the permits, and passed inspection sign-off on the rough-in before the Kohler tub and Cambria vanity top went in. That’s how it’s supposed to work.
A typical Granada Hills bathroom remodel takes three to six weeks from demo to final inspection. The timeline depends on the size of the bathroom, whether the drain and subfloor need replacement, how long tile and fixture lead times run, and how quickly the city schedules inspections. We give you a written timeline with the written quote, and we update it if material deliveries or inspection scheduling shift. Call (803) 680-2547 to talk through your project’s timeline.
