Why Renovate Your Bathroom?
Bathroom renovations are one of the most profitable ways to remodel your home, generating an impressive 72% return on investment on average. A more advanced remodel is even more profitable, so it’s the perfect way to boost your home’s value before selling your property.
Of course, a new renovation also has the power to boost your quality of life. Your bathroom is your personal retreat. It’s where you find serenity, so you deserve to enhance your self-care rituals with a renovation.
If you’re a multi-generational homeowner, a remodel will also prepare your property for elderly or disabled residents.
Our Bathroom Renovation Process
Have you started thinking about what you want to change in your bathroom? Let us help you create that “wow” factor while maintaining an air of practicality. Here’s what our bathroom renovation process entails:
- Understanding client expectations: The first step is to discuss your wants, needs, and goals for renovating your bathroom. Assuming our services are the right fit for you, we’ll move your project forward.
- Design and preconstruction: As a design/build firm, we can handle your bathroom renovation from start to finish. Our in-house architects, designers, engineers, and artisans each play a role in designing and planning a successful project. We’ll present you with drawings, 3D renderings, and concept art, with materials and finishes carefully selected to fit your budget.
- Sign the contract and begin construction: Once you sign off on a particular design, our build crew gets to work transforming it from paper to reality. We won’t deem the job complete until we accompany you on a final walk-through of your bathroom for quality assurance.
We believe that our process wouldn’t be complete unless you are happy with the outcome. We always strive to provide an unparalleled renovation experience by ensuring your peace of mind as your happiness is our goal at the end of the day. We like to keep good relations with all our past clients as we continue to socialize with them long after their project is completed, always offering a helping hand whenever needed, and being just a phone call away!

If your Santa Monica home’s bathrooms are looking outdated or worn, a remodel may be just what you need to update their style and function. With over 15 years serving Santa Monica homeowners, Surfside Builders Group has the expertise to make your bathroom remodel dreams a reality. We handle projects ranging from minor upgrades to complete conversions of existing spaces into spa-like retreats. Our design-build approach seamlessly blends aesthetics and practicality, delivering beautiful, low-maintenance bathroom solutions customized to match our clients’ needs and preferences.
The Benefits of Remodeling Your Santa Monica Bathroom. Remodeling your outdated or dysfunctional bathroom pays dividends in several impactful ways:
- Increased home value. Contemporary bathrooms with modern features and finishes have high appeal to buyers. Remodeling magazines and sites suggest homeowners can recover 60% or more of their investment.
- Improved comfort, safety and accessibility. New tub and shower enclosures, lighting, ventilation, non-slip flooring, grab bars and walk-in showers can upgrade convenience, as well as prevent slips and falls.
- Lower maintenance. Replace old tubs, toilets and faucets with new water-efficient fixtures to reduce unexpected leaks and repairs. New materials stand up better over time.
- Greater visual appeal. Remove worn surfaces and dated decor and replace these with stunning new tiles, cabinetry and fixtures to rejuvenate the room’s look and feel.
- Enhanced functionality. Reconfigure space to improve storage, add luxury features like heated floors or steam showers, or divide one larger, shared bathroom into two smaller private baths.
The Possibilities Are Endless. Today’s bathrooms feature innovations unheard of just 20 years ago. With seemingly endless options for materials and cutting-edge conveniences, Santa Monica homeowners have an opportunity to customize their spaces to match their dreams. From glass vessel sinks perched atop floating vanities to built-in charging stations and Wi-Fi-enabled devices, we can help build the bath retreat you’ve always envisioned.
Here’s a sampling of some of the exciting design trends and luxurious features we can incorporate into your Santa Monica bathroom remodel:
Sleek Freestanding Tubs For a contemporary, spa-style statement, consider replacing your existing tub with a gorgeous freestanding model. Available in sculptural shapes from oval to rectangle, these can serve as room focal points when placed in front of windows or as part of open concept floor plans. For bathrooms with limited space, compact freestanding tubs can still deliver a modern aesthetic.
Luxe Walk-In Showers. Ditch the shower curtain and small tub combo. Walk-in showers feel luxurious and sleek. Glass enclosure panels not only keep water inside, but maintain an airy, open vibe. For homeowners with mobility concerns or who simply want added convenience, we can install curb-free entries and bench seating. Custom niches provide storage for bath necessities.
Floating Vanities Minimalism reigns supreme in contemporary bathroom designs. To achieve this pared-down look, more homeowners opt for floating vanities that seem to hover just above the floor. Pair your floating vanity with modern wall sconces, marble herringbone tile floors, and other clean-lined choices to complete the vignette.
Smart Toilets and Bidets High-tech toilets offer options like remote operation, heated seats, hands-free opening and closing, air drying, odor control, ambient lighting, and automatic deodorization. Attachable bidet seats deliver spa-like cleansing without major renovation work.
Charging Stations In an increasingly tech-driven world, charging stations keep devices powered up and ready to use. Waterproof cubbyholes set into vanities or shower niche shelving enable busy families to stay plugged in and minimize clutter.
Green Remodeling Your Santa Monica Bathroom. Eco-conscious Santa Monica homeowners will be pleased to discover green remodeling principles easily apply to bathroom projects. Water-conserving low-flow toilets, faucets and showerheads significantly reduce wasteful water usage. Natural sunlight paired with high-efficiency LED fixtures add brightness with low carbon footprint. We source sustainable materials like bamboo cabinets or quartz composite sinks whenever possible.
Let Our Design-Build Process Guide Your Bathroom Vision. The prospect of a bathroom overhaul can seem daunting and stressful. Surfside Builders Group simplifies everything through our streamlined design-build approach. Upon becoming clients, we initially consult with homeowners to define problem areas and identify remodeling goals. What features top your wish list for enhanced form and function? What aspects of the current bathroom irk you most?
Armed with answers to these questions, our design team creates a preliminary 3D concept model. Clients can better visualize proposed spatial changes, materials under consideration, and new layouts using this tool. Our designers welcome feedback to tweak the model until the last details align with your expectations. This collaboration ultimately produces finalized working blueprints. Misunderstandings leading to mistakes, unmet expectations, and cost overruns stem from poor communication, not uncommon in traditional remodeling arrangements. Because Surfside Builders Group serves as both project designer and builder, we close these information gaps leading to bathroom outcomes matching what clients want.
Surfside Builders Group Renovation Process. With final bath plans approved, Surfside’s project managers swing into action.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Renovations
Bathroom design experts say you can expect to spend between 5% and 10% of your home’s total value on a bathroom renovation. As long as you incorporate desirable, long-lasting features, you can expect to recoup 60% to 70% of your investment in increased home value.
Relatively simple renovations don’t require a permit. However, if you plan to move walls, add windows, or change the plumbing layout, your renovator must apply for a permit before work begins.
Depending on the scope of your project, construction may take anywhere from a few days to two or three weeks. Including the design and preconstruction phase, the entire project may take six to twelve weeks. If the renovation requires permitting approval, the process could take a bit longer.

We contracted Surfside Builders Group to do a basement renovation which included installing a new bathroom. Site supervisor Simon did an excellent job of coordinating the many sub-contractors to ensure that the project kept on schedule. As a result, our renovation project was completed on schedule which is something you don’t hear very often with home renovations. The sub-contractors showed up when expected and completed their work in a professional manner. We were very happy with the completed basement renovation, the quality of work and the attention to detail. We would definitely recommend Surfside Builders Group for any home renovations you are considering.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: Knowledge & ExpertiseSimply outstanding. We've had 5 separate contractors work on our antique Victorian home over the last 15 years, all engaged to implement modern, state-of-the-art, minimalist/contemporary design directions within our 1896 exterior. Without question --and by a large margin --Simon and his colleagues at Surfside Builders Group remain the hands-down winners in every respect. We would be hard-pressed to put our admiration of and appreciation for Simon and Surfside Builders Group into words: they delivered superlative work under or within spitting distance of our budget; there were no surprises on budget or timing; their communication is excellent; their trades are highest quality in performance.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: PassionFrom the outset, and throughout the project, Surfside Builders Group staff were a pleasure to work with. They provided a package for our condominium corporation containing all necessary documents required -corporation application form, electrical and plumbing company licenses, insurance details, etc. The contractors were experts in their trade, respected our property and a pleasure to have in our home, since we lived there throughout the renovation. The results were everything we hoped for. The highlight of the project was working with Simon, a true expert, whose professionalism, and attention to detail ensured that the result was beyond our expectations We would not hesitate to recommend Surfside Builders Group to anyone.
