Millbrae bathroom work, with and without a permit
Millbrae's permit FAQ lists tiling among finish work that needs no building permit. On the plumbing side, stopping a leak or pulling and resetting a toilet is exempt too, as long as no valves, pipes or fixtures are replaced or rearranged. That covers much of the repair side of a bathroom: new grout and tile, and a rocking toilet pulled and reset on a fresh seal.
A full remodel is different once the layout changes or fixtures get added. Millbrae's sewer handout calls for a backflow device on remodels that add plumbing fixtures or rework 25% or more of the building, and bath remodels with no structural changes may get a streamlined in-house review. That permitted part is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc, while our crew handles demo, waterproofing, tile and finish.

Thumbtack reviews five stars on every review shown
Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.
J&J and Junior and crew provides great Handyman services and support especially for seniors that need a little excellent home maintenance for a reasonable price. Junior and crew repaired and caulked my upstairs shower pan to its shower wall and helped mme clean up my roof deck by cleaning up leafe debris. They were prompt and knowledgeable and honest about their estimates to complete the maintenance. Highly recommended for repair and fixing those tough maintenance jobs you don’t have the time or expertise to finish.

Professional, quick and clean work recaulking our tub and kitchen sink! They also replaced a lightbulb and consulted on another project. Will use them in the future. Thank you, Junior!
