Bathroom Renovation

Bathroom Remodeling in Riverside, CA


A bathroom remodel is one of the most detail-intensive projects in residential construction. Every surface needs to be waterproof. Every drain needs proper slope. Every vent needs to pull moisture out of the room efficiently. When these elements are not done correctly, the consequences show up years later as mold, rot, and structural damage behind walls and under floors — problems that cost far more to fix than they would have cost to prevent.

BPP Construction has been remodeling bathrooms across Riverside and San Bernardino counties for 35 years. Ben understands that what happens behind the tile matters as much as the tile itself. Every bathroom we remodel starts with a thorough assessment of existing plumbing, framing, subfloor condition, and ventilation. We address underlying issues before installing finish materials, which means your new bathroom is built on a solid, properly waterproofed foundation.

We handle every aspect of the renovation — demolition, plumbing rough-in, electrical updates, framing modifications, waterproofing, cement board installation, tile work, fixture installation, painting, and final trim. One contractor, one schedule, one standard of quality from start to finish.

Complete Bathroom Transformations


Whether you are updating a small guest bathroom with new fixtures and tile or completely gutting a master bathroom to create a spa-like retreat, BPP Construction manages the full scope of work. Our bathroom remodeling services cover every type of residential bathroom renovation in the Inland Empire.

Tub-to-shower conversions are among our most requested projects. We remove the existing tub, modify the drain location and plumbing rough-in, install a properly sloped shower pan with code-compliant waterproofing, and build a custom tile shower that transforms the space. For homeowners wanting the opposite — adding a soaking tub where a shower stood — we handle the structural reinforcement required for the additional water weight and modify the plumbing accordingly.

Layout changes that move plumbing fixtures — relocating a toilet, adding a double vanity, or reconfiguring the shower — require re-routing drain lines, supply lines, and vent stacks. This work requires both a building permit and a plumbing permit in California, and it must pass inspection before walls are closed. BPP Construction coordinates all permits, schedules inspections, and ensures every modification meets California Plumbing Code requirements.

Waterproofing is the single most important element in any bathroom remodel. We use liquid-applied or sheet membrane waterproofing systems on all shower and wet area surfaces, extending the membrane up walls to the required height and properly integrating it with the shower pan and drain assembly. Every seam, corner, and penetration is sealed. This attention to waterproofing detail is what prevents the mold, rot, and structural damage that plague poorly executed bathroom renovations.

Ventilation is equally critical and frequently overlooked. California Building Code requires mechanical ventilation in all bathrooms — either a fan vented to the exterior or an operable window meeting minimum size requirements. We install properly sized exhaust fans ducted to the outside of the building, not into the attic or soffit, which is a common code violation we discover during renovations of older Riverside-area homes. Proper ventilation protects your investment by removing moisture that would otherwise damage new finishes and building materials over time.

Our Process

From Demo to Dream Bathroom


01

Assessment & Design

We evaluate the existing bathroom — plumbing locations, subfloor condition, framing, ventilation, and electrical. We discuss your design vision, recommend materials and layouts based on your space and budget, and develop a complete scope of work with a detailed estimate.

02

Permits & Preparation

We pull all required permits — building and plumbing — and schedule the work sequence. Demolition proceeds carefully, preserving adjacent finishes. We address any hidden issues (rot, mold, outdated plumbing) discovered during demo before moving forward with new construction.

03

Build & Final Walkthrough

Plumbing rough-in, electrical updates, framing, waterproofing, cement board, tile, fixtures, paint, and trim — installed in proper sequence with inspections at every required phase. We walk the finished bathroom with you to verify every detail meets your expectations.

Common Questions

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs


Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in California?
If the remodel involves any plumbing changes, electrical modifications, or structural work, yes — a building permit is required. Moving a toilet, adding a shower where none existed, or relocating plumbing fixtures requires both a building permit and a plumbing permit. Even replacing a water heater requires a permit in California. Cosmetic updates like replacing a vanity top, installing new faucets on existing supply lines, or repainting do not require permits. BPP Construction handles all permit applications and inspections as part of every bathroom remodel we perform.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in the Riverside area?
A standard bathroom remodel — new tile, fixtures, vanity, and paint without plumbing relocation — typically takes three to five weeks from demolition to completion. Projects involving layout changes, plumbing relocation, or structural modifications take five to eight weeks. Custom tile work, particularly large-format tiles or intricate patterns, adds time for proper installation and curing. The permit process adds one to three weeks depending on your local jurisdiction. We provide a detailed timeline during your initial consultation. Call (909) 227-4193 to schedule yours.
What California code requirements apply to bathroom ventilation?
California Building Code Section R303.3 requires all bathrooms to have either a mechanical exhaust fan or an operable window with a minimum of 1.5 square feet of openable area. When a mechanical fan is used, it must be vented directly to the exterior of the building — not into an attic space, crawlspace, or soffit. The fan must provide a minimum of 50 CFM of intermittent airflow or 20 CFM of continuous airflow. Many Riverside-area homes built before current code adoptions have bathroom fans vented into attic spaces, which causes moisture damage to roof sheathing and insulation. BPP Construction corrects this common issue as part of every bathroom renovation.
What waterproofing is required for a shower in California?
California Building Code requires a waterproof barrier behind all shower walls and under shower floors. The waterproofing membrane must extend at least three inches above the top of the shower pan and be continuous at all seams and corners. At the shower pan, the waterproof membrane must slope toward the drain at a minimum of one-quarter inch per foot. BPP Construction uses liquid-applied or sheet membrane waterproofing systems that exceed code minimums, with particular attention to corners, seams, and penetrations where leaks most commonly occur.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Riverside?
Bathroom remodel costs in the Riverside area vary based on bathroom size, scope of work, and material selections. A standard guest bathroom renovation with new tile, vanity, toilet, and fixtures typically starts in the low four figures and increases with the scope. Master bathroom remodels with layout changes, custom tile showers, freestanding tubs, and premium fixtures can range significantly higher. We provide detailed written estimates after an on-site assessment so you know the exact cost before any work begins. No hidden fees. Call (909) 227-4193 for a free estimate.
Can you convert a tub to a walk-in shower?
Absolutely. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most popular bathroom remodeling projects. The process involves removing the existing tub, modifying the drain location to accommodate a shower pan, installing proper waterproofing, building curbs or creating a curbless entry for accessibility, and tiling the new shower enclosure. If the converted bathroom is the only full bathroom in the home, California code requires maintaining at least one bathtub in the residence — so we will discuss your options based on your home’s layout. The entire conversion typically takes two to four weeks from demo to completion.
