Studio City bathroom renovation reflects the neighborhood’s premium residential market: home values of $1.8M–$6M+ (with Mulholland hillside properties at the high end), a design-conscious buyer and renter pool, and high expectations for bathroom quality. Primary bathroom renovation in Studio City needs to reach a true spa level — heated floors, large walk-in shower, quality stone, and finishes that are curated rather than merely clean — to deliver full market impact. APLA Construction (CA Lic #1136359) handles bathroom remodels throughout Studio City from flatlands bungalows to Mulholland hillside estates.
What you get: Full gut renovation of a 40–65 sq ft secondary bathroom. New tub/shower, toilet, and vanity. New tile on floor and surround. Updated lighting and fixtures. Waterproofing and backer board installation.
What you get: Full gut renovation of an 65–105 sq ft primary bathroom in the existing layout. Large-scale tile or stone. Walk-in shower with frameless glass. Freestanding soaking tub (or tub removed for expanded shower). Double vanity with stone countertop. Heated tile floor. Dimmer lighting. High-end plumbing fixtures (Waterworks, Kohler, or equivalent).
Best for: Studio City flatlands homes at $1.8M–$3M where the primary bathroom needs complete modernization.
What you get: Expanding the primary bathroom by capturing square footage from an adjacent closet or bedroom (typically 30–65 additional sq ft). Steam shower with body jets. Built-in stone bench and niche. Walk-in closet reorganization. Custom millwork vanity with integrated lighting. Appropriate for Studio City homes at $2.5M–$4M where a larger spa footprint is needed for a proper renovation.
What you get: Full architectural renovation at the estate level. Book-matched stone throughout. Steam room with chromotherapy. Integrated freestanding tub with freestanding fixtures. Custom millwork vanity at joinery-level quality. Radiant heat throughout the floor and towel bars. Smart home integration. For Mulholland Drive and upper Studio City hillside homes at $4M–$15M+.
Guest bathroom: $24,000–$48,000. Primary bathroom (existing footprint): $52,000–$95,000. Primary with expansion: $95,000–$168,000. Mulholland estate bathroom: $168,000–$350,000+. Studio City costs are 10–18% above comparable Sherman Oaks scope due to higher material expectations and hillside logistics premium.
Studio City buyers at $2M+ specifically evaluate primary bathroom quality. The features that most impact buyer decision are: heated tile floors, frameless glass walk-in shower, double vanity, and stone countertops. A primary bathroom renovation that hits all four consistently produces return of 100–130% of renovation cost in additional sale price.
Guest bathroom: 5–9 weeks. Primary bathroom (no expansion): 8–13 weeks. Primary with expansion: 11–18 weeks. Estate bathroom: 16–28 weeks. LADBS Van Nuys office plan check: 4–7 weeks for bathroom work with plumbing changes.
