What to Know About Bathroom Renovation in Burlingame
Local building codes, neighborhood character, and permit requirements vary by city. Here's what Burlingame homeowners should know before starting a project.
- 01Burlingame homes built in the 1920s-1940s — particularly in Easton Addition and Lyon-Hoag — often have original cast iron drain stacks and galvanized supply lines that should be replaced during any bathroom renovation
- 02Plaster walls in older Burlingame homes require careful handling during bathroom demolition; we use specialized techniques to blend new drywall transitions with existing plaster for a seamless finish
- 03The City of Burlingame requires permits for all plumbing and electrical changes in bathrooms, including heated floor installations, fixture relocations, and exhaust fan upgrades
- 04Many Burlingame homes have original hex tile or period bathroom details worth preserving in secondary baths; we can selectively update while honoring the home's architectural history
- 05Burlingame's cool morning fog makes radiant heated bathroom floors especially appealing — it's one of our most requested upgrades in this city

Bathroom Renovation in Burlingame: FAQ
Answers to common questions from Burlingame homeowners.
A primary bathroom renovation in Burlingame takes 8-12 weeks, reflecting the higher-end materials and custom details typical of this market. Guest bath updates can be completed in 4-6 weeks. Material lead times for imported marble, custom vanities, and specialty fixtures often add 4-8 weeks to the pre-construction phase, so we recommend starting the selection process early.
Absolutely. Many Burlingame homes have architectural character worth preserving — arched doorways, period tile patterns, original window proportions. We design bathroom renovations that complement these features: period-appropriate proportions with modern fixtures, traditional-profile vanities with current finishes, and tilework that nods to the home's era while feeling completely fresh.
Burlingame homeowners in 2026 are choosing unlacquered brass or satin nickel fixtures, wall-mounted faucets, freestanding soaking tubs (Victoria + Albert and MTI are popular), and integrated bidet toilets from TOTO. Frameless glass shower enclosures with minimal hardware are standard. The emphasis is on quality materials that develop character over time.
Yes — radiant floor heating is nearly standard in our Burlingame primary bathroom renovations. We install electric radiant heat mats under tile or stone with programmable thermostats. Cost is typically $2,500-$5,000 depending on bathroom size. The comfort difference on cool Burlingame mornings makes it one of our most appreciated upgrades.
Every Burlingame bathroom we build includes a comprehensive Kerdi waterproofing system: full membrane coverage on all shower walls and floors, precision slope-to-drain engineering, moisture-resistant cement board substrate, and sealed joints at every transition. This is especially important in older Burlingame homes where original waterproofing may have been minimal or has deteriorated.
In Burlingame's luxury market, we often use both: natural marble (Calacatta Viola, Paonazzo) for vanity tops, accent walls, and niches where it makes a visual statement, and large-format porcelain for shower floors and high-traffic areas where durability matters most. This approach delivers the beauty of marble where you see it and the practicality of porcelain where you need it.
