Quality Remodeling Services in Palm Springs

Palm Springs bathrooms carry a lot of history behind the tile. Many homes here were built in the 1950s and 1960s.

Original fixtures and plumbing runs are common, and many have never been touched. Bathroom remodeling in Palm Springs almost always starts with that history.

The Arthur Elrod House and Frey House II sit in Palm Springs. Both are well-known mid-century homes, and many ordinary houses here come from the same era.

A bathroom remodel has to fit that era, not fight it.

Deepwell Estates has a mix of homes. Some were carefully preserved. Others were heavily updated. A bathroom project usually lands somewhere on that same line.

We are a design-build general contractor. We serve this part of the Coachella Valley. Design, project management, and construction stay under one roof.

Core trades like framing are handled in-house. Subcontractors come in only for single-trade scopes.

Bathroom Remodeling in Palm Springs

Every project starts with a paid pre-construction and design phase, our design agreement. Value engineering sets the scope, layout, selections, and price before demolition starts. You will know what a rain shower head, heated floors, or a custom tile layout changes about the room.

That happens before a wall comes out.

The median home in Palm Springs was built in 1978. About 65 percent of homes here are owner-occupied, according to Census data. Plenty of houses go back further than that.

Many were built during the city’s 1950s and 1960s boom.

Original bathrooms from that era often still have their original plumbing runs. A new layout often means rerouting them.

A remodel means deciding what stays for the look of the house. It also means deciding what has to change to work the way you want. A tiled shower ceiling or a built-in shower bench can update the room.

Neither one has to erase the reason you wanted this house.

Keeping character and updating for comfort is the choice our design phase works through. That choice looks different in every house we take on. We hold a California B General Building Contractor license, number 999955.

We back every bathroom remodel with a one-year warranty. We also run a 3-3-3-12 follow-up schedule after the work is done.

Our History in Palm Springs

We keep core trades in-house on every project. Framing is one of them. Subcontractors come in only for single-trade scopes.

Design, project management, and construction stay under one roof. The same team plans the job and builds it.

Rick Lua, our owner, framed houses himself before he earned his contractor license. That background shapes how we open up a Palm Springs bathroom.

The framing behind old tile is not always what the original builder used.

We work out of Longvue Road, just outside Desert Hot Springs, in the Coachella Valley. Many Palm Springs homeowners we work with live in guard-gated or country-club communities.

We build any HOA review into the design phase early.

Our paid design phase covers that review step. It also covers the layout, fixtures, and price for the room itself.

That way the plan holds once construction starts.

Every bathroom remodel carries a one-year warranty. It comes with a 3-3-3-12 follow-up schedule after the work is done.

These local resources can help while you plan a Palm Springs bathroom remodel.

Lua Construction did an outstanding kitchen remodel, which transformed the space. It looks so great they are now redoing 2 bathrooms into one larger spa-like bathroom plus a walk-in closet. I am very pleased with Rick Lua and the professionalism he and his team exhibit. The work they did for me is high quality, looks great, and they have stayed on schedule despite my not being at the property to push for completion while the work was underway. I am very pleased with Lua Construction - so much that this is the 3rd time I have selected them to update my home.

Frequently Asked Questions - Palm Springs Remodeling

What is a realistic budget for a bathroom remodel in Palm Springs?

Cost depends on the scope of the room. It also depends on how much old plumbing and fixtures need replacing. A 1960s bathroom with old tile and small plumbing runs usually costs more to update. That is more than a bathroom already remodeled once.

We do not quote a range up front. Our paid pre-construction and design phase sets the scope, fixtures, and price first. That happens before demolition starts. You see the real number for your bathroom, not a placeholder. You can review our pricing structure on the pricing page before you reach out.

Can a remodeled bathroom in Palm Springs keep its mid-century look?

Yes. A lot of Palm Springs bathrooms still have original tile, layout, and fixtures. Some go back to the 1950s or 1960s. We look at what is worth keeping for the character of the house. We also look at what has to change to work the way you want.

A custom tile layout or a tiled shower ceiling can echo the original look. It can do that while new plumbing and fixtures go in behind it. Heated floors and a rain shower head can go in too. They do not have to change the shape of the room. That balance gets worked out in our design phase, before any wall or tile comes out.

Does a Palm Springs HOA review a bathroom remodel?

It depends on the community and the scope of the work. Interior changes to a bathroom usually do not need HOA review. They do not change how the house looks from the street. A project that changes a window is different. So is one that adds a skylight or touches the roofline.

Those are more likely to need a look from the association first. We have experience with HOA and country-club approvals in Coachella Valley communities. We build that review into the design phase early. That matters for anything visible from outside the house.

What is different about remodeling a Palm Springs bathroom built in the 1950s or 1960s?

Palm Springs’ median home was built in 1978. Plenty of houses go back further than that. A bathroom from that era usually has original plumbing runs. It often has a smaller footprint too. Fixtures were sized for a household from decades ago.

Before we touch a wall, our design phase maps what is behind the tile. It also maps what a new layout requires from the plumbing and framing. That way the fixtures you pick work the way they should. That includes a rain shower head or heated floors. Everything works once the room is finished.
