Bathroom Renovation in Los Gatos

A standard primary bathroom renovation takes 6-10 weeks. Guest bath or powder room updates can be completed in 3-5 weeks. Larger projects involving structural changes, adding square footage, or converting a tub-to-shower take 10-14 weeks.

Yes. Adding a bathroom requires plumbing rough-in, electrical work, and permitting through the Town of Los Gatos. We've added bathrooms to Los Gatos homes by converting closets, repurposing unused space, and building small additions. Costs typically range from $40,000-$80,000 depending on plumbing access.

For Los Gatos luxury bathrooms, we recommend large-format porcelain slabs (fewer grout lines, easier maintenance), natural marble for vanity areas and accents, and zellige tile for shower niches or feature walls. Heated tile floors pair beautifully with the cool Los Gatos mornings.

Yes, radiant floor heating is one of our most requested upgrades in Los Gatos. We install electric radiant heat mats under tile flooring with programmable thermostats. The system adds $2,000-$4,000 to a typical bathroom project and is worth every penny.

In the Los Gatos real estate market, we recommend keeping at least one bathtub in the home (ideally a freestanding soaking tub in the primary bath). For secondary bathrooms, a well-designed walk-in shower with frameless glass is the preferred choice among today's buyers.

We use a multi-layer waterproofing system on every bathroom we build: Kerdi membrane on all shower walls and pans, proper slope-to-drain, moisture-resistant cement board, and sealed joints. This prevents the mold and water damage issues common in older Los Gatos homes.
