Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lakeland Village
A full bathroom remodel in Lakeland Village typically runs $18,000 – $38,000 for a 5×8 hall bath, with larger lakefront primary baths landing between $35,000 and $65,000. Most projects take two to five weeks once we open the walls. If you’re dealing with an older cottage near Grand Avenue or a lakefront home off Riverside Drive, call us at (877) 265-9846. We know exactly what these homes hide behind original tile, and we price for it up front.
Lakeland Village is a different animal than the newer planned tracts across the lake. Your 1950s – 1970s single-story cottage likely sits on expansive clay that moves with the lake’s seasonal moisture. That means the remodel quote you get from someone who doesn’t know this area will likely change the day we open your wall. Ours doesn’t, because we build the allowance into the contract before we swing a hammer.
Key Takeaways:
- Inspection-first process with written allowances for what’s behind the walls
- Fixed pricing with change orders approved in writing before any added work
- We pull permits and handle Riverside County inspections for every bathroom remodel
- In-house crews handle everything from demo to tile to final trim, no subcontractor hand-offs
- Call (877) 265-9846 for a free, itemized estimate
Why Colonial ADU Builders Is Lakeland Village’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re led by Noel Carrasco, and we’ve spent years working inside Lakeland Village’s older lakefront cottages, which means we know what to expect before the first tile comes off. Homeowners near the Lakeland Village Community Center and along the streets off Grand Avenue keep calling us because we don’t flinch when we find cloth wiring, galvanized pipes, or a floor joist that’s been notched past code. We write it into the contract from the start.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles the entire job in-house: plumbing rough-in, electrical corrections, waterproofing, tile, and finish carpentry. The same crew that opens the wall is the one that closes it. That’s one reason our jobs pass inspection on the first try most of the time. We’re not bouncing between three different subcontractors who’ve never met each other.
If you’re in the 92530 ZIP code, you’re local to us. We know the Riverside County permit office, we know what inspectors flag on lakefront lots, and we know how long it takes to get a bathroom remodel approved and built here. That local knowledge gets written directly into your quote.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lakeland Village
Full Bathroom Remodel
A full bathroom remodel in Lakeland Village means taking the room down to studs, correcting whatever the 1960s left behind, and rebuilding it to current code. That’s the only honest way to work on these cottages. We start with an inspection of the framing, plumbing, and wiring before we ever order tile. In homes near the lake, we check floor deflection carefully because expansive clay shifts under these slabs.
Expect to spend $18,000 – $38,000 for a standard hall bath and $35,000 – $65,000 for a lakefront primary bath with custom tile and a walk-in shower. A detailed line-item quote comes with your free estimate.
Shower and Tub Replacement
Replacing a shower or tub in a Lakeland Village home usually ranges from $9,000 to $22,000, depending on whether we’re swapping a fiberglass unit or building a custom tile shower with a new pan. Older cottages on Riverside Drive often have floor pans that have failed quietly for years, rotting the subfloor beneath. We pull the pan, check the substrate, and level the floor before any new waterproofing goes down.
James Hardie cement board goes on the wet walls before tile on every job. It adds a bit of cost and it adds a lot of years to the shower.
Tile and Waterproofing
Tile and waterproofing on a typical Lakeland Village bathroom runs from $4,000 to $12,000 standalone. More often, it’s part of a larger remodel. The critical part is what’s under the tile. In this climate, with hot inland summers and the lake’s humidity, a failed waterproofing layer shows up as cracked grout and efflorescence within a season or two. We install membrane waterproofing systems rated for deflection and thermal movement, which matters on the clay soils here.
Vanity, Countertop, and Fixture Upgrades
A smaller bathroom refresh, meaning new vanity, fixtures, lighting, and paint, typically lands between $5,000 and $14,000 in Lakeland Village. This works when the bones are sound and the waterproofing is intact. We’ll tell you honestly if it’s not. Some of the homes we see have a 1970s vanity sitting over an original slab that’s still moving, and no new fixture fixes that.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lakeland Village
Because Colonial ADU Builders works with seven vetted ADU manufacturers, including Cover, Dvele, and Mighty Buildings, we bring the same multi-brand fluency to bathroom fixtures and materials. That means we can objectively recommend what fits your home and budget rather than push whatever happens to sit in a supply house warehouse. For Lakeland Village’s lake-adjacent homes, we favor fixtures and finishes rated for humidity, hard water, and thermal expansion. We keep common parts and trims on hand for the 92530 area, so a missing mixing valve or a discontinued trim kit doesn’t stall your project for a week.
Noel Carrasco’s team quotes brand name materials in the written estimate, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No “builder grade” ambiguity.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lakeland Village Homes
- Non-permitted additions hiding behind original tile. Many of these cottages got a quick 1970s or 1980s bump-out that was never inspected. When we open the wall to move a drain, that addition’s framing and wiring are now on display and Riverside County may require correction before we proceed.
- Galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains. A 1960s cottage on a lakefront lot often still runs original galvanized plumbing. It looks fine from the outside of the wall and crumbles when you touch it. We spot it during the inspection phase and write the replacement into the allowance.
- Cloth-wrapped or aluminum wiring. We routinely find cloth-wrapped wires in Lakeland Village homes, particularly in areas that haven’t been renovated since original construction. Once the wall is open, GFCI protection and corrected circuits are typically required, not optional.
- Floor deflection from expansive clay. The lake’s seasonal moisture causes these soils to swell and shrink. A floor that felt solid under carpet may fail deflection standards once we expose the joists. New tile needs a stable substrate, and we sister or reinforce joists before we lay the first membrane.

FAQs – Bathroom Remodeling in Lakeland Village
Because these 1950s – 1970s lakefront cottages regularly hide non-permitted additions, galvanized plumbing, and cloth wiring behind the original walls, all of which code enforcement may require us to correct once they’re exposed. We avoid the mid-job price surprise by writing an inspection allowance into the contract up front. You see the change order with photos and a fixed price before we ever touch the corrected scope. Call (877) 265-9846 and we’ll walk you through how the allowance works.
Yes, in Riverside County any remodel that moves plumbing, alters electrical, or changes framing requires a permit, even in the unincorporated areas of Lakeland Village. Skipping the permit saves nothing long-term. When you sell, the unpermitted work is flagged and you’ll pay to open and inspect it anyway, now with finished tile in the way.
The clay around the lake swells with winter moisture and shrinks through hot inland summers, which shifts slabs and framing enough to crack grout and fail waterproofing within a season if the substrate wasn’t checked first. We level and reinforce the floor before tiling, and we install waterproofing systems rated for movement. That’s standard on every Lakeland Village job, not an add-on.
Yes, and we do it regularly. The difference is process: we inspect the addition’s framing, wiring, and plumbing before design finalization, then write any corrections into the contract allowance. If the addition needs a structural fix or an electrical upgrade to pass inspection, you approve a written change order before we proceed. No stall, no surprise.
Expect us to stop, document what we found with photos, and hand you a written change order with a fixed price for the correction. On a recent 1960s lakefront cottage near the Lakeland Village Community Center, our crew opened a hall bath wall to replace a leaking shower valve and found cloth-wrapped wiring spliced into a non-permitted 1980s addition, plus a floor joist notched past code over shifted clay. We upgraded the circuit to GFCI, sistered the joist, and installed a James Hardie-backed cement board wet wall before tiling. The owner signed the allowance before any of that work began. That’s how we handle every job in Lakeland Village.
