Bathroom Remodeling in Brea, CA
If your bathroom is stuck somewhere in 1998, with a chipped tub, a vanity that never had enough storage, and lighting that makes you look tired at 7 a.m., you don’t have to live with it. The Max Construction Inc has been turning outdated bathrooms into spaces homeowners actually enjoy using across north Orange County, and we’ve built a reputation for it: 5.0 stars across 23 Google reviews from real neighbors in and around Brea.
We’re not a national franchise that flies a crew in for the week and disappears. We’re based right here at 319 W Lambert Rd in Brea, and when you call (714) 200-8477, you’re talking to the same local team that will show up to measure your space, hang your new vanity, and set your tile.
Bathroom remodeling is one of the things we do best, but it’s not the only thing we do. We’re a full general contracting company, which means the same crew that reworks your shower can also handle the drywall, lighting, and flooring around it, without you needing to coordinate three different companies for one project.
Why Homeowners Choose The Max Construction Inc for Bathroom Remodeling
A bathroom remodel touches almost every trade there is: plumbing, electrical, tile, carpentry, waterproofing, and finish work. Hire a company that only knows one piece of that puzzle and you’re stuck managing the rest yourself, chasing down a plumber here and a tile guy there, hoping their schedules line up.
Here’s what makes working with us different:
- One team, every trade. We handle plumbing rough-in, electrical for new lighting and outlets, framing changes, tile, flooring, and paint under one roof. No subcontractor juggling on your end.
- A five star track record you can actually check. Twenty three reviews and a perfect 5.0 average isn’t an accident. Read them yourself before you commit to anyone.
- We know this area’s housing stock. From ranch style layouts near Carbon Canyon to newer builds off Imperial Highway, we’ve worked in bathrooms with the plumbing quirks and structural layouts specific to north Orange County homes.
- Real conversations, not sales scripts. We walk your space with you, point out what’s realistic for your budget, and tell you honestly if a full gut isn’t necessary when a targeted update would do the job just as well.
- Licensed, insured, and local. You’re not gambling on a name you found through an ad and never see again.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services
Every bathroom remodel is different, and yours might need one of these upgrades or all of them. Here’s what we handle, start to finish.
Custom Vanities & Cabinetry
Storage is usually the first complaint in an older bathroom, and it’s one of the easiest things to fix. We build and install custom vanities sized to your actual space instead of forcing a big-box unit to fit, with cabinet finishes, countertop materials, and sink styles picked to match how you actually use the room. Double vanities, floating vanities, extra drawer storage for a family bathroom, we’ve built them all.
Shower & Tub Installation
This is the heart of most remodels we do. Whether you want a full tile walk-in shower with a glass enclosure, a soaking tub for the primary bath, or a tub-to-shower conversion for easier day-to-day use, we handle the demo, the waterproofing membrane, the plumbing, and the finish work as one continuous job. A shower that leaks behind the wall in two years costs more than the remodel did in the first place, which is why we don’t cut corners on the waterproofing step most homeowners never see.
Tile, Flooring & Waterproofing
Tile choice sets the tone for the whole room, and we work with porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and large-format tile for floors, shower walls, and accent niches. See our full tile installation services for standalone tile projects. We also handle water-resistant flooring for the rest of the room, proper slope for drainage, and the underlayment work that keeps moisture from becoming mold or rot down the line.
Lighting, Fixtures & Ventilation
A bathroom with the wrong lighting makes even a brand new remodel feel dated. We install vanity lighting, recessed can lights, dimmers, updated faucets and hardware, and exhaust fans sized correctly for your square footage, because a fan that’s too small just recirculates humidity instead of clearing it. See our lighting installation services for details.
Full Bathroom Renovations & Layout Changes
Sometimes the fix isn’t cosmetic, it’s structural. If your bathroom layout has always bothered you, a tub that’s in the wrong spot, a door that swings into the vanity, a window placement that limits your options, we can move plumbing lines, reframe walls, and reconfigure the whole footprint. This is a bigger project, but it’s often the difference between a bathroom you tolerate and one you actually enjoy.
Small Bathroom Remodel? It’s a Specialty, Not a Compromise
A lot of the bathrooms we work on in this area are small, powder rooms, secondary baths, older homes with a single full bath under 50 square feet. A small bathroom remodel isn’t just a scaled-down version of a big one, it takes more careful planning per square foot: where storage goes, whether a pocket door frees up floor space a swinging door wastes, how tile pattern and fixture scale can make a small room feel bigger instead of cramped. We treat small bathroom projects with the same attention to layout as a full primary suite, because in a small room every decision shows.
Bathroom Renovation: Refresh vs. Full Remodel
Not every bathroom project needs to be a full gut job. A bathroom renovation often means updating what’s already there, new vanity, new fixtures, updated tile or paint, without moving plumbing or changing the layout. That can transform how a bathroom feels for a fraction of the cost and disruption of a full remodel. We’ll walk your space and tell you honestly which category your project falls into, a renovation or a full remodel, rather than defaulting to the bigger, more expensive job.
Serving Bathroom Remodels Across North Orange County
Brea is home base, and it’s where most of our bathroom remodeling projects happen. But we also regularly work with homeowners throughout the surrounding Orange County area. Homeowners in Hacienda Heights and La Habra call us for the same reason Brea homeowners do, one crew for every trade the job needs. We also regularly take on projects in Yorba Linda.
We also serve these areas: Brea, Placentia.
What to Expect: Our Bathroom Remodeling Process
Not knowing what happens next is one of the biggest sources of stress in any home remodel. Here’s exactly how we run a bathroom project from first call to final walkthrough.
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Free in-home consultation | We measure the space, look at your existing plumbing and electrical, and talk through what you actually want. No pressure, no upsell script. |
| 2. Design and material selection | We help you pick tile, fixtures, vanity styles, and finishes, and give you a clear, itemized quote before any work starts. |
| 3. Permits and prep | Most bathroom remodels involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require a permit. We handle that paperwork and protect the surrounding space before demo. |
| 4. The remodel | Demo, rough plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile, vanity and fixture installation, paint, and final trim, all in sequence with regular updates. |
| 5. Final walkthrough | We walk the finished bathroom with you and check every detail before we call the job done. |
Is a Bathroom Remodel Worth It?
For most homeowners, the answer is yes, and not just for resale value. A dated bathroom is one of the first things buyers notice if you ever sell, but more importantly, it’s a room you use every single day. A remodel that adds real storage, fixes a layout that’s never worked, or replaces a tub you haven’t used in years pays you back immediately in comfort, not just at closing.
Even smaller updates, a new vanity, a walk-in shower conversion, updated lighting, can change how a bathroom feels without requiring a full gut renovation or a budget to match one. Part of our first conversation with you is figuring out which category your project actually falls into.
Because we’re a general contractor and not a bathroom-only specialist, we also see how a bathroom remodel fits into the bigger picture of your home. If your flooring, paint, or lighting needs attention in the rooms around it, or if a roofing or drywall issue is actually the root cause of a moisture problem in your bathroom, we can flag that during the consultation instead of remodeling around it and leaving the real issue untouched. We also work on kitchen remodeling if that’s next on your list.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom remodel cost?
It depends heavily on scope. A fixture and finish update runs less than a full gut renovation with layout changes and moved plumbing. We give every homeowner a clear, itemized quote after a free in-home consultation.
How long does a typical bathroom remodel take?
A standard remodel usually runs a few weeks from demo to final walkthrough. A full renovation with structural or layout changes takes longer.
Do I need a permit to remodel my bathroom?
Most projects involving plumbing, electrical, or structural work do require a permit. We handle the permitting process as part of the job.
Can you convert my bathtub into a walk-in shower?
Yes, tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most requested projects. We handle the demo, waterproofing, tile, and glass enclosure installation as one complete job.
Do you only do full gut renovations, or can you handle smaller updates too?
Both. We work on everything from a single vanity swap or lighting update to a complete bathroom overhaul with a new layout.
What areas do you serve besides Brea?
Along with Brea, we regularly work in Hacienda Heights, La Habra, Yorba Linda, Placentia, Fullerton, Buena Park, and Rowland Heights. If you’re nearby and not sure whether you’re in our service area, just call and ask.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We’re a licensed general contractor and carry insurance on every project, which protects your home and gives you real recourse if anything goes wrong.
What’s the difference between a small bathroom remodel and a full one?
A small bathroom remodel usually means working within an existing footprint under about 50 square feet, secondary baths and powder rooms most often. A full remodel can include layout changes and larger primary suites. Both get the same attention to detail.
Can I see examples of your past bathroom remodeling work?
Yes. We’re happy to walk you through completed projects during your consultation, and our 23 Google reviews are public and unedited.
