Bathroom remodeling in the San Fernando Valley has seen an increase in demand in recent months. The community is taking advantage of rock-bottom prices for all renovations, but is targeting bathroom remodeling in particular as a low-risk renovation with great bottom-line returns on the value of your home.

Taking its name from a famous mission that was founded there in 1797, the San Fernando Valley is home to well-known cities such as Woodland Hills, Chatsworth, Calabasas, Northridge, Granada Hills, Canoga Park, West Hills, Tarzana, Encino, Reseda, Sherman Oaks, and Valley Village, to name a few. The cities in and around the valley are easily recognized for their roles in famous movies, especially the North Hollywood and Studio City areas.

Although the median income in the San Fernando Valley is about $40,000 a year, luxurious mansions with oversized bathrooms are not uncommon in the areas more affluent neighborhoods. A skilled renovation crew might do a tiny half bath one week, then a giant luxury bath the next. That’s why the renovation specialists who choose to do business there have to be some of the most versatile in the trade.

With so much demand for bathroom renovations, the valley attracts remodeling companies of almost every genre imaginable. But before choosing a contractor for your remodeling project, carefully weigh your options and do your research.

Old-fashioned homeowners who have been in business for many years have a great sense of commitment to their community, but often lack the streamlined efficiency of some of the newer renovation companies. They typically have a more laid-back attitude toward project management and deadlines, and while they’ll certainly provide one-on-one customer service, they rarely follow through on their commitments.

Larger companies, on the other hand, are often so agile and efficient that the customer themselves can be all but forgotten. The personal touch that so many homeowners seek is lost among the corporation’s many tentacles. And when it comes to something as personal as a home, this gives the whole project an underlying feeling of coldness and fear. Sure, they get the job done fast, but the sense of community and one-on-one service is virtually non-existent.

This is why homeowners in the San Fernando Valley have come to trust companies that not only provide the personalized attention of a brick-and-mortar business, but also execute renovations at the speed, cost and efficiency of a multi-conglomerate corporation. By dealing with a reputable local company, homeowners can be sure that the contractor’s experience with homes of similar style and value will make their renovation as successful as possible.
