Why Elmstead Remodeling Is Burbank’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Our Bathroom Remodeling team follows the Cedarwell Care Promise on every visit: Clean up like it is our own home; Ask before we move or touch anything; Respect the family’s time and quiet hours; Explain the price before the work.

Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower in Burbank
Walk In Shower projects in Burbank are increasingly popular in the 1940s – 1960s bungalows and ranch homes that dominate Magnolia Park and the Rancho neighborhood, where aging tubs and cramped wet areas no longer serve modern families. A walk-in shower eliminates the step-over barrier, improves accessibility for multi-generational households, and opens up visual space in bathrooms that often measure less than 40 square feet. In Burbank’s market, walk-in shower installation typically costs $4,500 – $12,000, while a full tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 – $10,000. Our crews use Schluter waterproofing systems and Kohler, Moen, or Grohe fixtures, products with manufacturer warranties you can verify independently.
Curbless and Low-Threshold Options
Curbless showers require precise floor recessing or sloped pan installation that demands moisture testing first. In Burbank’s older homes with original slab or raised-wood foundations, we test subfloor integrity before quoting, rot discovered after rough-in forces change orders no one wants.
Frameless Glass Enclosures
Frameless glass opens sightlines in compact Burbank bathrooms but requires exact wall plumbness and specialized hardware. We template on-site and coordinate glass delivery to avoid the scheduling compression that valley heat already imposes on outdoor work.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Burbank
Bathroom Remodeling Companies serving Burbank operate under constraints that don’t apply in neighboring cities. Because Burbank sits directly under Hollywood Burbank Airport’s flight paths, FAA Part 77 airspace restrictions impose hard building-height limits across large swaths of the city. Any bathroom addition or second-story bump-out on certain lots triggers an FAA 7460-1 Notice of Proposed Construction filing before the city will finalize permits, a step that routinely adds weeks and catches out-of-area contractors off guard when bidding flat parcels near Hollywood Way and Empire Avenue. A typical full bathroom remodel in Burbank costs $9,000 – $28,000, while smaller projects run $5,000 – $12,000. We coordinate permits, inspections, and height-clearance requirements as part of our standard scope.
Permit Coordination and Height Clearance
We were scoping a primary bath in a 1950s ranch near Magnolia Park when the homeowner asked to push the roofline slightly higher for a curbless shower and better venting. Our tech caught the Part 77 height concern early, so we pulled the project back to a code-compliant ceiling height and coordinated the city permits before demolition. That kept the rough-in, inspection sign-off and final punch list on the same draw schedule instead of forcing a mid-project change order.
Seismic and Foundation Considerations
Burbank’s post-war housing stock frequently lacks modern seismic anchoring. We assess slab condition, cripple-wall bracing needs, and subfloor integrity during our first site visit, these factors affect rough-in sequencing and final tile warranty eligibility.
Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank
We install cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. Our tile and waterproofing partners include Schluter systems and James Hardie backer board. These are brands you can research by name, with manufacturer warranties that travel with the finished project. For Burbank customers, we maintain relationships with local suppliers to avoid the long material hauls that valley projects sometimes require. We don’t substitute unspecified alternatives mid-job, what we quote is what you get.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Burbank Homes
- Airspace permit delays on additions near Hollywood Way or Empire Avenue. Contractors bidding bathroom bump-outs without checking FAA 7460-1 requirements discover mid-project that permits are stalled. We verify height restrictions before quoting.
- Subfloor rot in 1940s – 1960s Magnolia Park and Rancho homes. Original slab or raised-wood foundations beneath vintage bathrooms often conceal moisture damage. We test before rough-in, not after.
- Santa Ana wind fire-watch shutdowns interrupting outdoor demolition. Fall and winter wind events trigger elevated caution around open-flame work and debris management. We build contingency days into Burbank schedules.
- Summer heat compressing productive hours. Burbank’s 105 – 110°F inland temperatures exceed coastal LA, requiring OSHA heat-illness prevention plans that affect crew rotation and material curing times.
