If your bathroom still has the same basic layout it was built with decades ago, replacing the tile may not be enough.
Maybe the shower is too small. The vanity takes up space without giving you useful storage. The tub rarely gets used. Or the primary bathroom simply feels cramped compared with the rest of the home.
Kol & Co. provides bathroom remodeling in Laguna Niguel, CA, with projects ranging from complete bathroom renovations and walk-in showers to layout changes, plumbing relocation, bathroom expansions, and multiple-bathroom remodels.
We help homeowners work through the important decisions first—what should stay, what should move, and whether the room itself needs to be reconfigured—then coordinate the construction required to build it.
For the types of projects we typically take on, a bathroom remodel generally falls around $25,000–$40,000+.
The final investment depends on the bathroom size, existing condition, shower or tub configuration, tile quantity and type, vanity and cabinetry, countertops, plumbing fixtures and relocation, electrical and lighting changes, layout modifications, waterproofing, custom glass, structural changes, and finishes.
The scope matters just as much as the room’s square footage, which is why we prefer to see the existing bathroom before giving homeowners a realistic project estimate.
The exact scope depends on the room, but a complete bathroom renovation involves several systems that need to be coordinated correctly.
Whether you're replacing an existing shower, removing a tub, or creating a larger walk-in shower, we coordinate the construction behind the finished tile as carefully as the visible details.
May include:
Proper drainage and waterproofing are planned before tile installation so the shower is built correctly from the inside out.
Learn MoreA new vanity can improve storage, counter space, and how comfortably the bathroom works each day. We can keep the existing configuration or redesign it when the layout allows.
May include:
For primary bathrooms, we can also evaluate whether the existing vanity area can be reconfigured for more storage, two sinks, or additional counter space.
Learn MoreWhen fixtures move or the bathroom layout changes, the work behind the walls often needs to change as well.
Depending on the project, we can work on:
For permitted Laguna Niguel bathroom remodels, applicable plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work may require inspection before walls and finishes are closed.

Once the layout and behind-the-walls work are established, we coordinate the finishes that bring the bathroom together.
May include:
For larger renovations or multiple bathrooms, we can also coordinate materials and finishes so the bathrooms feel consistent with the rest of the home.
Learn MoreOnce an existing bathroom is demolished, conditions can sometimes be found that weren’t visible beforehand.
Depending on the age and condition of the bathroom, that may include:
Previous water damage
Damaged framing or subfloor
Inadequate waterproofing
Older plumbing
Electrical work that needs updating
Poor ventilation
Previous remodeling work that wasn’t built correctly
Not every bathroom has hidden problems, but they are worth considering when planning the project.
If we find an issue after demolition, the priority is to understand what caused it and what needs to be corrected before installing new finishes over it.
Most of our bathroom remodels take approximately 3–5 weeks of construction, depending on the size and scope.
Additional time may be needed for projects involving major layout changes, plumbing relocation, bathroom expansion, structural modifications, extensive tile work, custom cabinetry or glass, permitting and inspections, and special-order fixtures or materials.
It depends on the work you’re doing, but many complete bathroom remodels require permits.
A permit may be required when the project involves:
Moving or changing plumbing fixtures
Shower or bathtub alterations
Electrical changes
New or relocated lighting
Ventilation changes
Wall or framing modifications
Bathroom layout changes
Structural work
Simple cosmetic improvements may not require the same level of permitting. The City of Laguna Niguel provides specific requirements for kitchen and bathroom remodels and handles plan review, permits, and inspections through its Building & Safety Division.
If permits are required, Kol & Co. coordinates the applicable plans, engineering, permitting, construction, and inspections as part of your project.
We visit your Laguna Niguel home, look at the existing bathroom, discuss what isn't working, and talk through whether you want to keep the layout or make larger changes.
We develop the bathroom around the proposed layout, shower or tub, vanity, plumbing fixtures, tile, lighting, storage, and finish selections.
When required, we coordinate applicable plans, engineering, permits, material orders, and construction preparation before work begins.
We work the demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, painting, fixtures, glass, and finishes based on your project.
Required inspections are coordinated during construction. Once the bathroom is complete, we address final details and walk through the finished space with you.
We work with homeowners throughout Laguna Niguel, CA 92677, including Bear Brand, Marina Hills, Rancho Niguel, Niguel Summit, Beacon Hill, Kite Hill, Monarch Point, Laguna Sur, El Niguel, and surrounding neighborhoods.
We also serve homeowners in nearby Dana Point, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, San Juan Capistrano, and other Orange County communities.
You don’t need to know exactly where every fixture should go before getting started.
Maybe you know the shower needs to be larger. Maybe you want to get rid of the tub, add a double vanity, improve storage, or find out whether the bathroom can be expanded.
We’ll look at the existing room with you, discuss what you want to change, and help determine what can stay, what should move, and what the remodel may involve before construction begins.
For the projects we typically take on, bathroom remodeling generally falls around $25,000–$40,000+. Larger primary bathrooms, plumbing relocation, custom cabinetry, extensive tile, layout changes, and premium fixtures can increase the cost.
Most bathroom remodels take approximately 3–5 weeks of construction. Larger bathrooms or projects involving significant layout changes, plumbing relocation, custom materials, or structural work can take longer.
It depends on the scope. Work involving plumbing, electrical, mechanical, structural, shower, tub, or significant layout alterations may require permits and inspections. Minor cosmetic work may not.
Yes, in many bathrooms. We can evaluate the existing tub area, plumbing, dimensions, drainage, and surrounding construction to determine how the space can be converted into a properly waterproofed shower.
