Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Century City
A full bathroom remodel in Century City typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller refreshes starting around $5,000 and walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. We work inside the high-rise condominiums that define the 90067 ZIP, which means we’re used to elevator booking systems, HOA work-hour windows, and the shared-corridor dust rules that national remodeling outfits never seem to understand until the building manager is standing in the doorway. Tom Barrett and his sons run every job, permits get pulled on all eligible work, and every price change arrives in writing before a single tile comes up. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’d like a free estimate without the phone-menu gauntlet.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Century City’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Most of the Bathroom Remodeling work we do in Century City happens inside towers like The Century, Park Place, and The Carlyle, where the rules are different. Building management schedules elevator time in reserved windows. Demolition noise has hard stop times. Dust containment through shared corridors isn’t a suggestion; it’s the difference between a janitor phoning the front desk and a full stop-work order. We’ve been running jobs in these buildings long enough to know the drill without being reminded, and that shows up in how smoothly the work moves.
Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. That matters in Century City, where a lot of homeowners have already sat through the experience of a big-name company quoting one thing over the phone and handing them something else at the door. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we like having him on the job. Every bathroom project gets a written scope, written allowances, and written change orders before the work changes. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back. It’s written on the contract: the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Ownership here is disproportionately condominium boards and homeowners who’ve dealt with contractors who don’t understand high-rise renovation. We do. And we don’t send a different crew every day. Tom’s sons run the crews. The people who start your bathroom are the people who finish it.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Century City
Here’s the range of Bathroom Remodeling work we handle inside Century City’s condo towers and the few remaining mid-century apartment conversions.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A complete gut-and-rebuild in Century City means removing finishes down to the concrete structure, then rebuilding waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and cabinetry on a sound base. Party walls in these towers are concrete and steel, which changes how plumbing relocations are done. We coordinate with building management for water shut-off valves, drainage access, and the scheduled hours when a floor drain can be opened. Full remodels here generally run $9,000 to $28,000, with scope, allowances, and material selections priced in writing before demolition starts.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Older Century City condos often have tub-shower combos that were never designed for homeowners staying in place past 65. A walk-in shower with a low-profile or curbless entry changes that. We install Schluter waterproofing systems on every shower rebuild because the substrate under tile in a high-rise has to be right the first time; there’s water on six sides of you, and the neighbor below you notices leaks long before you do. Walk-in shower installations in Century City typically run $4,500 to $12,000.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Taking a tub out and putting a shower in its place is one of the most common requests we get in The Carlyle and Park Place. The footprint usually stays the same, which means building management approvals move faster. The work requires cautious demolition against shared walls, careful drain-line adjustment, and new waterproofing from floor to ceiling height. Most tub-to-shower conversions in Century City run $3,500 to $10,000, with framing and tile scope written before we start buying materials.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Not every bathroom job is a gut job. Sometimes the right move is a new vanity, new tile, fresh hardware, and a Grohe fixture package that changes the room without moving a wall. We install solid vanity units sized for condo bathrooms, and we’ll help you pick tile that holds up under the specific humidity patterns of a high-rise unit where windows don’t open and ventilation runs through a central system. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in Century City. Fixture and tile work is quoted per scope, with every allowance in writing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Century City
We stock and install Schluter waterproofing as the standard under every tile shower we build, and we’re comfortable with Grohe fixture packages when Century City homeowners want a European profile without a lecture about proprietary parts. Sterling tub and shower units come up often on tub-to-shower conversions where the existing footprint stays. We keep parts local whenever there’s a lead time issue, and we’ll tell you straight if a faucet or drain assembly is weeks out. Named brands on the contract mean you can look up exactly what you’re getting, which is how every bathroom job should work.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Century City Homes
- Shut-off valves inside unit boundaries that haven’t been cycled since the building was framed. In towers built in the 1970s and 1980s, the angle stops behind toilets and under sinks frequently seize. We identify these before we start, coordinate with building management if a riser valve needs closing, and write the replacement into the scope rather than discovering it mid-job.
- Sound transmission through concrete party walls. Most Century City condos were built before building codes treated bathroom plumbing noise as a real design problem. We add sound-isolating wraps on drain lines and build wall assemblies that reduce water noise through shared walls, which is a frequent complaint from homeowners in Park Place and The Century.
- Ventilation that runs through a central stack rather than an opening window. Century City high-rises depend on ceiling vents tied into a building system. When tile and grout go up in a room with marginal airflow, mold follows within two years. We size exhaust fans to the actual duct run and static pressure, not just the square footage.
- Waterproofing failures at the tub-shower junction in older units. We see recurring tile and drywall damage around tub surrounds in older condos where original construction used green board instead of a real waterproofing membrane. Fixing it correctly means pulling tile to the studs and rebuilding with Schluter or an equivalent system, then re-tiling.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Century City
We can usually complete an in-person estimate in Century City within a few business days, and a live person answers the phone 24/7. There’s no trip charge inside the county, and the estimate is free. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask for a written bid with material allowances itemized.
Yes, we work throughout the 90067 ZIP, including The Century, Park Place, The Carlyle, and the mid-century apartment buildings that remain, and we also handle our Driveway & Pavers in Century City for surrounding properties. Every building has its own management rules for elevator scheduling, work hours, and dust containment, and we handle the coordination rather than handing that back to you. Call us with your building name and we’ll tell you what’s typical for approval timelines in that specific tower.
In Century City, a full bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, which is comparable to other condo-dense parts of the Westside but often includes line items single-family-home bids don’t carry: elevator-time booking, corridor protection, building-required insurance certificates, and sometimes shorter daily work windows. If you’re comparing bids, make sure elevator scheduling and common-area protection are written into the other contractor’s scope. We write them in every time.
No price changes unless you change the scope, and even then, the new number arrives as a written change order before the work moves. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do that. This is the standard on every Barrett & Sons job in Century City, with the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on the contract.
Yes, permits are pulled and inspections are signed on every eligible bathroom remodel in Century City. High-rise work often triggers additional building-management approvals on top of city permitting, and we handle both. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, they’re wrong. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what’s required for your specific tower.
