Full Bathroom Remodels

A full bathroom remodel in San Jose starts with understanding how the house is currently being used, where the plumbing lines are placed, and how the layout can be improved. From there, our crew manages each phase in sequence: demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile installation, fixture installation, and final finishing.

Shower Conversions and Walk-In Showers

Converting a tub to a walk-in shower offers more usable space, a cleaner look, and a safe entry. We handle the complete conversion: demolition, drain reconfiguration, shower pan, or custom base construction, waterproofing, tile, and all fixture installation. Options include curbless showers, frameless glass enclosures, and custom-tiled walls with built-in niches.

Accessible and Aging-in-Place Bathroom Design

We design and build bath areas that support safe movement, better balance, and easier daily routines for people of all ages and mobility levels. Accessibility features are integrated from the start. Common inclusions include curbless shower entries, built-in seating, grab bars near the shower and toilet, slip-resistant flooring, wider doorways where structure allows, lever-style fixtures, and increased lighting.

Bathroom Remodel Timeline: What Homeowners Should Expect

Projects adding plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require a building permit application through SJPermits. Plan review and issuance usually add 2 to 4 weeks before construction begins.

Custom tile, semi-custom vanities, and special-order fixtures can take 2 to 3 weeks to arrive. Early Selections help avoid delays.

Tub-to-shower conversions typically take 1 to 2 weeks. Full remodels with plumbing and electrical changes typically take 3 to 6 weeks. Factors extending the schedule include: hidden water damage, older plumbing, back-ordered materials, and inspection timing.

At Top Home Builders, we’ll provide you with a realistic construction schedule beforehand.
