Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Burbank
Bathroom remodeling in Burbank typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with most tub-to-shower conversions and walk-in shower installations falling between $3,500 and $12,000. We’re Rowan Construction Group Los Angeles, and our crews work Burbank regularly - from the post-war ranches in Magnolia Park to the hillside homes along the Verdugo Mountains. Scheduling and dispatch are coordinated from our Los Angeles office, but the team that arrives at your door knows Burbank’s permit system, its inspection queues, and the 1940s-1960s housing stock that shapes most remodels here. Call (213) 652-7670 to schedule your free estimate. We’ll put a written price in your hands before anyone picks up a tool.
Why Rowan Construction Group Los Angeles Is Burbank’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve delivered more than 4,000 projects since 2007, every one with a written price before work started and a documented photo record when the crew left. In Burbank, that discipline matters more than most places.
Burbank operates its own independent Building and Safety Division, separate from Los Angeles City and County. A contractor who pulls permits in Glendale or North Hollywood must re-learn plan-check workflows, fee schedules, and inspection queues specific to Burbank’s municipal system. We’ve run enough jobs through Burbank’s division that our project managers know the inspectors by name, the typical turnaround on plan check, and the documentation that prevents a callback. That local fluency saves weeks on a typical bathroom remodel.
Our reviews from Burbank homeowners consistently cite two things: the price on the contract matched the final invoice, and the photo record showed exactly what was behind the walls before any work proceeded. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone starts. Under Clause 3, no change proceeds without a signed change order. Those aren’t slogans - they’re the administrative discipline Haven acquired Rowan for, and the reason our projects finish within a few percent of the number the customer agreed to.
Calls are answered by a live person 24/7. Crews are background-checked and uniformed. And every visit includes a documented photo record as standard, not an upgrade. If something’s not done right, our Bathroom Remodeling team makes it right under the 365-Day Done Right Promise - backed by a terms page you can read, not a handshake you can’t enforce.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Burbank

Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Burbank means working with post-WWII stucco-frame construction: 2×4 framing, often with cloth-wrapped or ungrounded wiring, and subfloors that have seen sixty-plus years of moisture cycling. We start with a thorough inspection of the existing conditions - electrical panel capacity, venting runs, and the state of the waterproofing membrane - then write allowances into the contract for the discoveries that opening walls typically reveals. In Rancho and Magnolia Park, we regularly find that the cripple-wall foundation triggers mandatory seismic retrofit disclosure during permit review, a scope expansion that catches less experienced contractors off-guard. We price it in writing before we touch it.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Burbank runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on footprint, tile selection, and whether we’re moving drain lines. The Verdugo corridor’s heat exposure and Santa Ana wind events push us toward mold-resistant cement board assemblies and exhaust fans rated for the cubic footage these older homes require. We spec Kohler and Toto fixtures from our vetted supplier list, and we document the waterproofing membrane application with photos at every layer - flood test, lath, mud bed, and tile. Burbank’s inspectors know to ask for that documentation. We have it ready before they arrive.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion is our most requested bathroom service in Burbank, typically $3,500-$10,000. The appeal is obvious: remove a dated tub, gain a curbless or low-threshold shower that works for aging-in-place. But the reality in a 1952 Magnolia Park ranch is often more complex. We opened the walls on one such job and found cloth-wrapped wiring that wouldn’t carry a modern GFCI circuit, plus a subfloor softened by a decades-old shower pan leak. After the permit triggered inspection sign-off on the framing and rough-in, we wrote the electrical upgrade and subfloor repair as a change order, priced it in writing, and got the homeowner’s approval before we touched a screw. The finished walk-in shower with frameless glass came in with no surprise numbers on the draw schedule. That’s how we handle every conversion in Burbank.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Burbank runs $800-$3,000, tile work varies with material and pattern complexity, and fixture selection spans our fifty-plus vetted brands. We stock KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinet lines with lead times that work for Burbank’s inspection-driven schedule, and we source Cambria and Caesarstone countertops with slabs held at local fabricators to avoid the delays that blow timelines. Every selection is written into the scope with a model number and a price. No “allowance for tile to be selected later” that turns into a surprise upgrade conversation mid-project.

Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
Frameless glass is the finish detail that transforms a walk-in shower from functional to finished. In Burbank’s hillside corridors, where Santa Ana winds rattle older window frames and shift settling patterns, we pay particular attention to wall plumb and tile flatness - the two conditions that determine whether frameless glass seals properly or leaks at the curb. We measure with laser levels after tile set, not before, and we order glass only after the wet area passes flood test and final inspection. The result is a frameless enclosure that fits the first time, with no silicone-heavy corrections that look like exactly what they are.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Burbank
We maintain sourcing depth across fifty-plus vetted brands so our written quotes carry honest numbers rather than inflated ones. For Burbank bathroom remodels, that means Kohler and Toto fixtures, KraftMaid and Wellborn vanities, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, and Sakrete mixes rated for the heat exposure and seismic conditions this market demands. We don’t spec from a catalog and mark up whatever shows up - we stock or hold local inventory for the brands we quote, which means replacement parts arrive in days, not weeks, if an inspector flags a defect or a homeowner changes a selection. The price in your contract reflects actual supplier relationships, not placeholder allowances.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Burbank Homes

- Cripple-wall foundations triggering seismic retrofit disclosure. In Magnolia Park and Rancho, the post-WWII stucco-frame ranches and bungalows built on cripple-wall foundations often require mandatory seismic upgrade work once a permit triggers structural review. We identify this condition during our initial inspection and write the potential scope expansion into the contract as an allowance, so the homeowner sees the number before walls are open.
- Failed waterproofing membranes mistaken for cosmetic tile damage. Burbank’s heat cycles accelerate membrane deterioration, and the Verdugo corridor’s dry seasons mask subfloor rot until demolition reveals it. We inspect with moisture meters before quoting, document the findings with photos, and never recommend tiling over a compromised substrate - it fails inspection sign-off and rots the framing within a few wet seasons.
- Permits pulled through the wrong jurisdiction. A contractor who submits to LA City or County instead of Burbank’s independent Building and Safety Division stalls in plan check for weeks because the workflows, fee schedules, and inspection queues don’t match. We verify jurisdiction at contract signing and track every permit through Burbank’s specific system.
- Undersized electrical panels and ungrounded circuits. The cloth-wrapped wiring and 60-amp services common in 1940s-1960s Burbank construction won’t support modern GFCI outlets, heated floors, or exhaust fans rated for today’s code. We test panel capacity during our initial inspection and write electrical upgrade allowances into the contract with line-item pricing, not vague contingencies.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Burbank

It changes when concealed conditions differ from what visual inspection can detect - cloth-wrapped wiring that won’t carry GFCI circuits, subfloor rot beneath intact tile, or a cripple-wall foundation that triggers seismic retrofit disclosure during Burbank’s permit review. We minimize this by inspecting with moisture meters, testing electrical capacity, and researching permit history before we quote. When discovery is unavoidable, we write a change order with a firm price, get your signature, and only then proceed. Call (213) 652-7670 for an exact quote on your specific bathroom - estimates are free.
Yes. Any plumbing relocation, new fixture installation, or structural modification requires a permit through Burbank’s independent Building and Safety Division, not LA City or County. The permit triggers inspection at rough-in (framing, plumbing, electrical) and final (tile, fixture, exhaust). We pull permits as standard on every job, include the fee in your written quote, and schedule inspections around Burbank’s specific queue times. Call (213) 652-7670 and we’ll confirm permit requirements for your specific scope.
Allowances cover work we know is likely but can’t price precisely until walls are open - subfloor repair, electrical panel upgrades, or seismic retrofit triggered by permit review. Each allowance is a line item with a dollar cap, not a blank check. If the work isn’t needed, the allowance comes off the final invoice. If it exceeds the cap, we stop, write a change order, and get approval. No surprises on the draw schedule. Call (213) 652-7670 for a contract review - estimates are free.
Burbank Airport records among the highest temperatures in LA County, and the Verdugo Mountain funnel accelerates Santa Ana wind events through hillside corridors. For bathrooms, this means exhaust fans must be rated for higher cubic-feet-per-minute to clear humidity before it condenses in wall cavities, and exterior vent terminations need wind-resistant dampers that standard LA Basin specs don’t require. We spec accordingly, and we document the CFM rating and damper type in your written scope. Call (213) 652-7670 for material specifications on your project - estimates are free.
Typically three draws: deposit at contract signing, second draw at rough-in inspection sign-off (plumbing, electrical, framing approved by Burbank’s inspector), and final draw at completion and final inspection release. Each draw is tied to a documented milestone, not a calendar date, so you’re never paying ahead of verified progress. The change-order protocol means any surprise discovery is priced and approved in writing before it affects the draw schedule. Call (213) 652-7670 to review a sample schedule for your project - estimates are free.
