Complete Santa Monica Bathroom Renovations, From Layout to Final Finishes

Remodel your Santa Monica bathroom with a team that can handle more than the finishes. Kol & Co. manages layout changes, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, walk-in showers, custom vanities, tile, lighting, permits, and construction as one coordinated project.

Whether you’re updating a guest bathroom or completely rebuilding a primary suite, we help you determine what is worth changing, what can stay, and how to make better use of the space you already have.

With 15+ years of remodeling and construction experience, we understand that a successful bathroom renovation depends just as much on what happens behind the walls as the finishes you see. We coordinate the technical work with the design so waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, tile, fixtures, and final details come together correctly.

How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Santa Monica?

How Long Does a Bathroom Remodel Take?

Most bathroom remodels take approximately 3–5 weeks of construction, depending on the scope.

Projects involving layout changes, custom cabinetry, specialty materials, extensive plumbing or electrical work, or more complex inspections may take longer. Planning, material ordering, and permitting should also be considered before construction begins.

Do I Need a Permit for a Bathroom Remodel in Santa Monica?

It depends on the scope. Bathroom remodeling involving plumbing, electrical, mechanical, structural changes, or other regulated work may require applicable permits and inspections.

Certain qualifying single-family bathroom remodels may be eligible for Santa Monica’s Express Permit process. The City says qualifying Express Permit projects can avoid plan review, subject to project eligibility verification.

Santa Monica currently evaluates new permit applications under the 2025 California Standards Code, effective January 1, 2026.

Kol & Co. handles the applicable plans, permits, construction, and inspections for your bathroom remodel.
