Commercial and public restroom renovations, built to California's accessibility requirements, with durable finishes for heavy daily use.
Why restrooms matter

Commercial and public restrooms take more abuse than any other room, and they are where accessibility problems are most visible.
A restroom renovation usually means demolition down to the walls and floor, new waterproofing, tile, partitions, fixtures, grab bars, accessories, lighting and ventilation. In public and commercial buildings, it also means meeting the accessibility requirements of the California Building Code (Chapter 11B): clearances, fixture heights, grab bar locations, door hardware and signage.
Accessibility work often goes beyond the restroom itself: entrances, door hardware, ramps, counters and the route between them. In California, alterations to a commercial building can require improvements to the path of travel serving the altered area. A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) inspection can identify issues before they become complaints.
Porcelain tile, solid-plastic or stainless partitions, commercial-grade fixtures and vandal-resistant accessories hold up to daily public use and are easier to clean and maintain.
Restroom and accessibility renovations for cities, school districts, water and park districts are a specialty of the contractor we work with. Requests for bid-ready pricing are welcome.
