Encinitas has one of the older housing stocks in North County. In ZIP 92024 about 75% of homes were built before 1990, and the median household income is $158,507. A home from that era usually has a tub with a tile surround, a single-sink vanity, and a fan that vents poorly or not at all.

The first things we check are moisture damage behind the tile, the condition of the drain, and whether the exhaust fan reaches the outside. Those three findings decide whether the job is a refresh or a rebuild.

Permits come from City of Encinitas Development Services. The same city office covers all four communities that make up Encinitas, so a Cardiff condo and an Olivenhain house use the same counter even though the homes look nothing alike. Ask us which part of your plan triggers a permit; moving a drain or adding a new circuit generally does, while swapping a vanity top in place often does not.
