Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lakeland Village
Bathroom remodeling in Lakeland Village typically runs $18,000 – $45,000 for a full gut renovation, with smaller refreshes starting around $9,000 and high-end custom work reaching $70,000 or more.

If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in Lakeland Village, call (855) 617-6356 for a free estimate. Neil Trescott and our team have been working these lake-adjacent lots long enough to know what Riverside County will flag before we even open a wall.
Why Holloway ADU Builders Is Lakeland Village’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a general contractor who happens to do bathrooms. Our Bathroom Remodeling team works on ADU interiors and primary-home remodels, which means we already understand how Riverside County’s Building & Safety department reviews plans for unincorporated communities like Lakeland Village. That’s a specific skill set. When you add a bathroom to an ADU or move a drain line in a mid-century lake cottage, you’re not dealing with a city permit counter. You’re dealing with county engineers who care about septic capacity, hillside setbacks, and venting codes that are stricter than what many remodelers expect.
Our Lakeland Village customers come back to us for follow-up work because we flag issues during the estimate, not mid-demolition. Neil Trescott has walked enough lots between Lakeshore Drive and Grand Avenue to know which older parcels are on septic and which tie into the community sewer system. That single fact changes the scope of a bathroom remodel more than any fixture choice.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lakeland Village
We handle the full range of bathroom work here, from cosmetic refreshes on existing footprints to full tear-outs that move plumbing and add square footage. The difference in Lakeland Village is knowing when a “simple” remodel turns into a county review.
ADU Bathroom Build-Outs
When you’re building or converting an ADU in Lakeland Village, the bathroom is often the last piece that gets scoped. We work with owners who are installing Abodu, Cover, and Dvele units and need a finished interior that passes Riverside County inspection. We build the bathroom inside the ADU envelope, tie drainage into the existing septic or sewer line, and handle the venting so it meets county code on the first submittal.
Full Bathroom Gut and Rebuild
On older ranch-style homes around Lakeland Village, a full gut usually reveals cast-iron drain lines, rotted subfloor, and vent runs that don’t meet current code. We replace all of it, re-frame as needed, and bring the room up to Riverside County standards. This is the most involved scope, but it’s also where the transformation is the most dramatic, and our pricing reflects the labor and materials it actually takes.
Bathroom Additions and Expansions
Adding a bath to a home that never had one, or expanding a cramped hall bath into a primary suite bath, means new plumbing, new electrical, and often new foundation work. In Lakeland Village, the gating factor is usually side-yard setbacks and grading. We survey the lot, confirm drainage patterns, and submit plans that account for the site, not just the floor plan.
Mid-Century and Lake Cottage Bath Updates
Properties in Lakeland Village skew toward mid-century lake cottages and older single-story ranches, and our team knows how to preserve the character of those homes while upgrading the systems. We can spec fixtures, tile, and casework that feel period-appropriate while still delivering modern water efficiency and code-compliant venting. The older the house, the more likely we’ll need to reconcile what the framing actually is with what the county wants to see.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lakeland Village
Much of our bathroom work in Lakeland Village happens inside ADUs from Abodu, Cover, and Dvele. We’re familiar with how these units are framed, where their utility chases run, and what their interior wall cavities can accommodate. That means we can spec a bathroom layout that works with the unit’s structure instead of fighting it. We also stock the standard rough-in parts and finish materials in our Tustin yard, so we can keep a project moving without waiting on a specialty supply house.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lakeland Village Homes
- Septic capacity surprises on lake-adjacent lots. Many older Lakeland Village parcels near Lake Elsinore predate current septic standards. Add a bathroom or increase fixture count, and Riverside County will want proof the system can handle the additional flow before they’ll approve the permit.
- Cast-iron drains at end of life. The mid-century cottages and ranches in this community often still have original cast-iron waste lines. By now they’re rusted, cracked, or partially collapsed, and we typically replace them during a full remodel rather than patching around them.
- Tight side-yard setbacks forcing creative venting. Small, irregular parcels mean the exterior wall we’d normally run a vent through is often too close to the lot line for a standard penetration. We re-route vents through interior walls or roof penetrations to stay in compliance without losing wall space.
- Hillside drainage affecting bathroom expansions. Homes on the slopes above the lake need extra attention to grading and moisture management when a bathroom footprint grows. Without proper drainage, a new bathroom wall can direct water toward the foundation, and Riverside County inspectors will catch it on final.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Lakeland Village, CA
Here’s what we see across real Lakeland Village bathroom projects:
- Cosmetic refresh (paint, vanity, mirror, lighting, no plumbing moves): $9,000 – $16,000
- Full gut of existing footprint (new tub/shower surround, tile, fixtures, drain and vent replacement): $18,000 – $32,000

- ADU bathroom build-out (plumbing tie-in, rough-in, finish): $12,000 – $25,000
What moves these numbers in Lakeland Village is the same thing that moves every quote here: whether the lot is septic or on sewer, how much drain relocation the county requires, and whether the existing venting can be reused. We’ll never give you a number over the phone without looking at the actual plumbing and the lot. That’s not a sales tactic; it’s how you avoid a change order five days into demo. Call (855) 617-6356 to schedule your free estimate, and we’ll walk you through the line items before you sign anything.
Do I Need a County Permit to Remodel a Bathroom in Lakeland Village?
Yes, if you’re moving plumbing, adding a fixture, or changing the footprint, you need a permit from Riverside County Building & Safety. Lakeland Village is unincorporated, so there’s no city permit counter to go to, and the county’s review process is the one that applies. A surface-level refresh of fixtures and finishes in the same location typically doesn’t require a permit, but we’ll tell you honestly which scope is which when we look at the room.
Will Adding a Bathroom to My ADU Require a Septic System Upgrade?
It depends entirely on the lot and the existing system. Lakeland Village has a mix of properties on community sewer and private septic, and older systems are often undersized for expanded living space. Riverside County will generally require a septic capacity check when you add fixtures or convert a shed to living quarters. If the system comes up short, we work with a county-approved septic designer to size the right solution and get it through review. Call (855) 617-6356 and we’ll help you figure out which category your lot falls into.
How Do You Handle Venting and Drainage on Hillside Properties?
Hillside lots need vent runs that don’t fight gravity or the setback requirements. On a sloped parcel above the lake, we often re-route vents through the roof rather than an exterior wall, and we grade around any expanded bathroom footprint so water moves away from the house instead of toward it. The county inspects this closely, and it’s one of the areas where a remodeler who only builds in flat subdivisions gets tripped up. We’ve done enough of these to have the details worked out before we submit plans.
Can You Match the Style of My Mid-Century Lake Cottage?
Yes, and we’d argue it’s one of the more interesting parts of working in Lakeland Village. The housing stock here is heavily mid-century and ranch-style, so we spec tile, casework, and fixture packages that look right for the era while still meeting current water and energy codes. The goal isn’t to make your 1960s cottage read like a brand-new spec house; it’s to give you a bathroom that feels like it belongs in the house, just with modern plumbing behind the walls.
What’s the Biggest Surprise in Remodeling Bathrooms on Older Lakeland Village Lots?
The number of things hiding behind the walls that the county will care about. Cast-iron drains that are rotted through, vent stacks that were fine for a 1960s permit but not today’s code, and septic systems that were sized for two bedrooms and fewer fixtures. None of this is visible during a walkthrough, and none of it gets cheaper to fix after demo starts. That’s exactly why we scope these projects the way we do, and it’s why a rushed quote from a contractor who hasn’t worked in unincorporated Riverside County is a risk you don’t have to take. Call (855) 617-6356 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you the honest picture before you spend a dollar.

FAQs – Bathroom Remodeling in Lakeland Village
We’re in Lakeland Village regularly, usually once or twice a week, and we schedule estimates within a few days of your call. Because the community is unincorporated and has specific county requirements, we keep one team familiar with Riverside County’s process on these jobs rather than rotating unfamiliar crews through.
We cover all of ZIP code 92530, including properties along Lakeshore Drive, Grand Avenue, and the hillside streets above the lake. If you’re within Lakeland Village’s unincorporated boundaries, we’ll come out and look at your lot.
Permitting through Riverside County can add anywhere from two to six weeks compared with a standard city permit, depending on the scope and whether a septic review is triggered. We account for that in our timeline upfront, so the sequencing feels predictable even when the county’s calendar isn’t.
Our labor rates are the same across the basin, but Lakeland Village jobs sometimes carry extra line items for septic design, drainage correction, or unvented fixture upgrades that homes in newer subdivisions don’t need. That’s a function of the older housing stock and the county’s review, not an arbitrary local markup.
Yes, we stand behind our workmanship with a written warranty, and we’re still reachable by phone after the job is done. If something isn’t right, call us, and we’ll make it right. That’s been the practice on every project Neil Trescott has run since he started this company.
