Remodeling a Bakersfield home
Plenty of homes in southeast and central Bakersfield were built in the 1970s and 80s, and their bathrooms show it: tub-shower combos, pink tile, builder-grade vanities. Opening the walls is usually where the real decisions start, which is why Gabriel looks at what is behind the drywall before promising a finish date.
Gabriel is based at 5008 Gaylene Ave in southeast Bakersfield and takes home remodeling jobs across Bakersfield and Kern County.

Home Remodeling questions
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Bakersfield?
A bathroom remodel needs a permit when you move plumbing, change walls or add electrical circuits. Inside city limits the permit comes from the City of Bakersfield; in unincorporated areas it comes from Kern County. Gabriel will tell you during the estimate whether your scope needs one.
Can I keep living in the house during a remodel?
Yes, most people stay home during a bathroom or kitchen remodel. Work areas are closed off with plastic sheeting to keep dust out of the rest of the house, as you can see in the project photos.
Will I get a written contract?
Yes. California requires a written contract for home-improvement work over $500, and every remodel gets one before work starts.
