Bathroom Remodeling in San Jose
Gatica’s Construction designs and builds bathrooms across San Jose — from compact powder rooms in Willow Glen bungalows to spa-style primary baths in Almaden Valley two-stories. We have remodeled hundreds of bathrooms across the Bay Area, and our San Jose clients value that everything is handled in-house: tile, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, and finish work are all done by our own crew. That means a tighter schedule, a cleaner jobsite, and one phone number to call if you have a question.

Bathroom Remodeling Challenges in San Jose Homes
Many San Jose bathrooms were built between the 1950s and 1980s and have not been touched since. We routinely find galvanized supply lines, undersized drain lines, original tub-to-shower valves that no longer meet code, and tile installed directly over a slab without proper waterproofing. We open up walls during demolition to inspect what’s behind the surface and share photos with you before we close anything back up — so the work behind the tile is as good as the work you see.
Permits & Inspections in San Jose
Bathroom remodels in San Jose generally require permits any time plumbing fixtures are moved, new electrical circuits are added (heated floors, exhaust fans, vanity lighting), or structural changes are made. We pull all permits through the City of San Jose Building Division and schedule inspections so the bathroom is fully signed off when we hand it back.

Frequently Asked Questions: Bathroom Remodeling in San Jose
Q: How much does a bathroom remodel cost in San Jose?
A: Bathroom remodel costs in San Jose vary depending on scope, materials, and layout. We provide a detailed written estimate after a free in-home consultation—no obligation.
Q: How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A: Most San Jose bathroom remodels take 4 to 8 weeks once construction starts. Powder rooms can be done in 2 to 3 weeks. Primary bathrooms with structural changes or moved plumbing can run 8 to 12 weeks.
Q: Can you convert my tub into a walk-in shower?
A: Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most common San Jose bathroom projects. We frame the new curb (or build a curbless, zero-threshold shower for accessibility), waterproof properly, tile, and install your choice of glass enclosure.
Q: Do you do accessibility and aging-in-place bathroom remodels?
A: Yes. We do comfort-height toilets, grab bars with proper blocking behind the tile, zero-threshold showers, hand-held shower valves, wider doorways, and slip-resistant tile. We coordinate with occupational therapists when needed.
Q: Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in San Jose?
A: Most bathroom remodels in San Jose require a permit. The City requires permits whenever plumbing fixtures are relocated, electrical circuits are added, or the layout changes. Cosmetic-only swaps (same fixtures in the same locations) often do not require a permit. We confirm at the estimate.
