Carthay Square Bathroom Remodels by an HPOZ-Experienced, RRP-Certified GC

Bathroom Remodeling Questions Homeowners Ask About Bathroom Remodeling in Carthay Square

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Carthay Square in 2026?

Fixed quotes run $30,000 to $92,000 inside the Carthay Square HPOZ. The $30K-$42K band covers a period-correct hall bath gut. $48K-$66K covers a footprint expansion, primary bath, or aging-in-place conversion. $72K-$92K is primary-suite-grade with full period-correct millwork, antique-reproduction Spanish tile, and a freestanding tub.

Are you EPA RRP certified for pre-1978 lead-safe work?

Yes. Carthay Square homes are almost universally pre-1978, so federal law requires lead-safe protocols. We have the certification, we follow full containment, HEPA vacuum cleanup, and wet demo methods. Ask any contractor bidding your bath for their RRP certification number — if they don't have one, they're not legally allowed to do the work.

Should I restore my original hex-tile floor or replace it?

Restore it if salvageable. Restoration runs $4,500-$7,500 versus $3,000-$4,000 for a new tile floor and holds significant resale value because original 1925 hex tile cannot be reproduced. Cracked-tile replacement comes from Heritage Tile, Mosaic House, or Mission Tile West.

Can I keep my original cast-iron tub?

In most cases, yes. Professional re-enameling runs $800-$1,400 and gives 15-20 years of service life on a tub that will outlast any modern replacement. We coordinate with two re-enamel specialists we trust.

Do you handle Carthay Square HPOZ submittals?

When the work triggers HPOZ review, yes. Most interior bath work qualifies for staff-level approval. Board hearings are triggered by changes to windows, exterior trim, or character-defining built-ins. We pre-meet with HPOZ staff to confirm the path before we file.

How long does a Carthay Square bath remodel take from contract to keys?

30 days for a like-for-like hall bath gut once permits are in hand. 45 to 60 days for a layout change, primary-suite-grade build, or curbless walk-in aging-in-place conversion.
