Bathroom Remodeling in Oxnard, CA

We design for it from the start. Fewer glass panels and a coating on the glass make scale easier to wipe off, and shower valves with replaceable cartridges are cheaper to maintain when minerals build up. Large-format tile means fewer grout lines to stain. If you want a whole-house softener later, we can leave a plumbing loop for it while the walls are open.

A tub drain sits in a different spot and at a different depth than a shower drain, so the slab usually has to be cut and trenched to move it. After the new drain passes inspection, we patch the slab, build a sloped shower pan with a waterproof membrane and flood-test it before tiling. Keeping the drain where it is costs less, and sometimes the new shower can be laid out around it. We price both options so you can choose.

A remodel that moves plumbing, adds circuits, replaces the fan or changes walls needs a permit, and that covers most full bathroom remodels. Inside city limits, plans go to the City of Oxnard Building & Engineering counter at 214 S. C Street. Homes in Silver Strand and Hollywood Beach go to the County of Ventura instead. We handle the submittal and inspections either way.

California code requires a bathroom fan that moves at least 50 cubic feet per minute when it runs intermittently, controlled by a humidity sensor you can set between 50 and 80 percent. Near the coast we size the fan for the room and always duct it outside, never into the attic. The humidity control turns the fan on when a shower fogs the room and off once the air clears. That one detail does more against mildew than any paint.
