Bathroom Remodeling

US Home Developers simplifies and adds enjoyment to the entire process of bathroom remodeling, from inception to completion. Our skilled bathroom designers are ready to assist you in crafting a striking powder room, a straightforward hall bath, or an opulent master bath resembling a spa retreat. No matter the type of bathroom renovations you envision for your Los Angeles and Orange counties home, our team is here to guide you in designing and constructing the ideal oasis.

The increasing trend of opulent bathrooms seems connected to a change in lifestyle. The growing preference for luxurious features has influenced the way we approach spaces traditionally known as “water closets” or “restrooms.” There’s a desire for a space where one can temporarily escape and simply pamper oneself. Words like escape, comfort, retreat, and indulgence come to the forefront when contemplating bathrooms, which serve as havens for the mind, body, and soul. How do you plan to pamper yourself in your bathroom renovation?

When considering a bathroom renovation in Los Angeles and Orange counties, creating a visually pleasing bathroom is a key priority. At US Home Developers, we go beyond aesthetics, ensuring that your bathroom remodel is not only beautiful but also highly functional. We carefully consider how you intend to use and possibly share the space. Our team of bathroom designers introduces innovative design concepts, such as space-saving layouts, enhanced storage options, distinctive materials, and creative lighting elements that you may not have considered before.

Design-Build Bathroom Remodeling

Opting for a design and build construction company, such as US Home Developers, offers a significant advantage: design, engineering, and construction services are consolidated under a single contract. This ensures seamless communication and collaboration among all construction professionals, guaranteeing consistency in every aspect from left to right and top to bottom. Your designer collaborates with you to create a stunning bathroom, while our draftsmen, engineers, and project managers meticulously measure and incorporate all details into your construction documents for precise material ordering. Every construction professional is required to approve the purchase order for materials. By the time you finalize your construction agreement, we will have the costs accurately calculated down to the penny, minimizing the likelihood of change orders when partnering with a design-build firm.

Advantages of Design Build

This comprehensive method for construction and renovation maintains seamless coordination throughout every stage of the design and construction process. Embracing the design-build concept enables us to craft your remodel with a focus on value engineering. Design, quality, cost, and time are all considered concurrently, guaranteeing that your budget is minimized, construction time is expedited, and your bathroom remodel adheres precisely to your specifications, whether it’s a straightforward update or a full-scale renovation.

Traditional construction models typically involve separate entities for draftsmen and contractors, leading to significant cost discrepancies between your desired features and your budget. Draftsmen are skilled in designing home structures and floorplans but are not equipped to estimate costs – a task reserved for contractors. Consequently, homeowners may end up with a design that exceeds their budget. The design-build approach to remodeling, on the other hand, mitigates such issues. When homeowners manage the remodeling project independently, scenarios like dreaming of an elaborate bathroom but affording only a fraction of it are common. Moreover, creating new plans incurs additional costs, potentially resulting in paying double to align the dream bathroom with the budget.

Design-build remodeling provides assistance in the area of purchasing. As a remodeling firm, we have access to volume discounts that you wouldn’t receive directly from cabinet manufacturers or tile stores. When you choose to shop with us, we take care to ensure accurate measurements, preventing unnecessary excess material while ensuring there’s enough to complete the job. Additionally, we guide you in selecting materials suitable for their intended purpose. For instance, we advise against using porous tile in bathrooms, as it would require extensive effort to keep the tile and grout clean. Opting for porcelain tile in your shower is recommended, as it is less porous and absorbs less water, minimizing maintenance efforts.

Opting for a design and build firm when renovating your bathroom offers the benefit of having a clear understanding of the total cost at the time of signing the construction agreement. In contrast, with a general contractor, there’s typically a 35% average change order rate. This implies that, on average, a general contractor raises the project cost by 35% as unforeseen elements arise during the job that were not initially included in the broad initial estimate. As a homeowner, you can take a proactive approach to manage this more effectively by addressing potential changes upfront. Additionally, when presented with a change order, you may express a preference for alternative solutions that do not result in a price increase.

When engaging with US Home Developers, you can expect exceptional design, service, and a 5-year warranty, providing the assurance you seek when investing in your home. It’s crucial to select a remodeling partner with whom you feel at ease and confident, especially when entrusting them to open up the walls of your home.

Do I need to get permits to remodel my bathroom?

Certainly, it is essential to obtain permits for your safety and the safeguarding of your financial investment in the remodeling project. The city serves as a guardian, overseeing the work to ensure its proper execution. Typically, your general contractor should handle the permit application as part of their responsibilities. The individual acquiring the permits assumes financial responsibility and is accountable for completing the project in compliance with building codes. City inspectors play a crucial role in verifying that the work has been carried out correctly and meets the required standards.

How much does a small bath remodel cost?

This question is consistently the initial inquiry we receive. The cost is highly variable and depends on factors such as your priorities, design style, potential structural work, and available space. Whether you opt for marble or engineered quartz in designing your new space, the expenses will differ. However, enlisting the expertise of a professional designer to guide you through the process can assist in aligning your priorities with your budget. The cost for powder bathrooms typically starts at $5,000, while hall bathrooms begin around $20,000. Primary bathrooms can have a starting cost of $30,000 and fluctuate based on the aforementioned factors. Due to the pandemic, various industries have faced challenges in retaining talent, leading to increased costs across the board, encompassing materials and labor.

How long will a powder bath remodel take?

Renovating a powder bath is estimated to span from 2 to 4 weeks, encompassing lead and asbestos testing, permit acquisition, and the entire remodeling process. Projects involving removal and replacement will tend toward the shorter duration, while those necessitating wall reconfigurations or plumbing adjustments may extend toward the longer end of the timeline.

Should I remove my tub in my bathroom or will this hurt the resale of my home?

We believe in remodeling for your needs! The presence of a bathtub won't deter potential homebuyers, as their priorities extend beyond a tub. If a buyer desires a bathtub, they can always add one later. Upgrading your existing tub to a free-standing one can be a stylish improvement. For those not inclined towards bathtubs, transforming your shower into a spacious retreat is an excellent idea. Customize it with features like a bench, dual shower heads, a niche for toiletries, tall shower stones or tiles, and non-porous materials for a contrasting shower floor. This way, you can tailor your shower exactly to your preferences.

Can you make my shower have a zero threshold entrance?

We concur that shower entrances with zero thresholds are not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical for Universal Design. Nevertheless, their feasibility depends on the existing structure, with greater possibilities on second-floor bathrooms and occasional viability on first-floor bathrooms.
