Bathrooms are small rooms with big stakes: they fail expensively when done wrong. Hidden water damage, improper waterproofing, and undersized ventilation are the most common — and most costly — defects we're called to fix from other people's work.
ODL Construction remodels bathrooms to last. We waterproof to code, vent correctly, and finish with tile and fixtures set by craftsmen — whether it's a luxury primary spa, a guest bath, or making a powder room out of dead space.
From a Burlingame period bath that needs to keep its character to a brand-new walk-in shower for aging-in-place, we scope the work to how you'll actually use the room and build it watertight.

Permits & code
Bathroom remodels require plumbing and electrical permits, with structural and energy review when the layout or footprint changes. We handle all permits and inspections.
Key things to consider
- Waterproofing method matters more than tile — insist it's done to code.
- Moving plumbing is the biggest cost driver; keeping fixtures in place saves significantly.
- Curbless / walk-in showers add aging-in-place value but need proper drainage design.
- Ventilation is non-negotiable in the Bay's humidity — undersized fans grow mold.
