Bathroom remodeling, built right behind the tile
Custom showers, soaking tubs, vanities and lighting — designed in 3D, built by Tulip crews, and checked at every stage before it's covered. The part you never see is the part we care about most: waterproofing, venting and plumbing.
Most of our reviews come from Los Angeles clients; we're earning more in the Bay Area now.

How pricing and payment work
After the consultation you get a written summary with an approximate price and timeline, usually within 2–3 business days (4–7 for larger projects). The final price is set in your contract. The deposit is $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less; the rest is paid at written milestones as work is completed and materials are delivered, with the final balance at completion.
IllustrationPermits and local rules
Who issues permits, and what we prepare
LADBS issues permits for City of Los Angeles addresses; Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and other cities have their own building departments. A permit is needed when plumbing, electrical or walls change.
Each city's building department issues bathroom permits. Interior bathroom work rarely triggers design review; exterior changes such as a new window can.
What Tulip prepares
- Drawings, engineering and Title 24 energy calculations
- The permit submittal and plan-check corrections
- Scheduling and meeting every inspection through final sign-off
FAQ
Bathroom remodeling questions
How long will we be without the bathroom?
Construction typically takes 4–7 weeks for a hall bath and 6–10 weeks for a primary bath; a powder room is usually 2–4 weeks. If it's your only bath, we plan the sequence to shorten the outage.
Can you convert our tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes — one of our most common requests.
What about water damage behind the walls?
We open, document and show you anything we find before we fix it, with the cost in writing.
Do you do curbless showers?
Yes, where the floor structure allows; we'll check during design.
Can you add a bathroom where there isn't one?
Often, as part of a remodel or addition; it depends on drain routing.
What warranty comes with the work?
Tulip's warranty is typically one year on workmanship from completion, plus manufacturers' warranties. Your exact terms are in your contract.
