We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been cutting our teeth on Inland Empire remodels since 1998. Our Bathroom Remodeling crews know Glen Avon’s housing stock the way you know your own street. That matters here more than it does in most places, because bathrooms in this community sit on expansive clay, on lots with septic and well lines, and in homes where permit history often isn’t what a buyer would hope. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews themselves. You’ll see the same faces every day.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Glen Avon’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers out of a call center in another state. Tom Barrett puts his name, his address, and his license number on every contract. You can look it up before you sign anything. That kind of transparency isn’t common in this trade, and it’s the thing homeowners around 92509 tell us they appreciate most.
Glen Avon is different from Riverside or Rubidoux in one way that shapes every bid we write here: the Stringfellow Acid Pits Superfund boundary cuts through the community’s history, and any remodel that disturbs soil can trigger environmental review. A contractor who doesn’t know that can get your job red-tagged mid-trench. We bid for it from day one. No surprise stop-work orders, no half-dug bathroom floor sitting open for weeks.
Our crews have remodeled bathrooms all over Glen Avon, from the older ranch pockets near Granite Hill Drive to homes along the Santa Ana River valley floor. We answer our own phones, and our follow-through on the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written into the contract, not buried in fine print.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Glen Avon
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut remodel in a Glen Avon ranch home usually means stripping down to studs, checking what’s behind the walls, and rebuilding to current code. Given the unpermitted additions common in homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, we pull permit history before we swing a hammer. If there’s hidden framing that doesn’t meet code, we catch it in the quote, not after the tile goes up.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Glen Avon runs $4,500 to $12,000, and here’s what that covers that a national quote won’t: a mud-set base or reinforced joists under the pan. Glen Avon sits on expansive clay that heaves through summer heat cycles. Tile over an unsupported pan will crack within two summers of 105°F heat-and-heave cycling. We build for that from the start.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the most common request we get from Glen Avon homeowners aging in place. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000. When we trench for a new drain line, we bid a soil-clearance contingency if you’re near the Stringfellow corridor. That line item exists for a reason: Riverside County environmental compliance officers have halted excavation on properties that skipped the assessment.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install name-brand vanities, tile, and fixtures you can look up yourself. No mystery products off a van. For Glen Avon’s working-class ranch homes, we often recommend solid-wood vanities that handle humidity swings better than MDF, plus floor tile graded for thermal expansion. Small choices, but they’re the difference between a bathroom that looks good for five years and one that still looks good in twenty.

Trusted Brands We Service in Glen Avon
We carry and install materials from brands like KraftMaid for cabinetry and Cambria for quartz and solid surfaces. When a Glen Avon customer wants a specific valve or fixture, we source it and stock common parts locally so we’re not waiting on a truck from two counties over. We also work with Simonton and PGT on windows and glass enclosures when a remodel includes an exterior wall or a new frosted window. Frameless glass shower enclosures from PGT give a clean look that holds up to the hard water common in Jurupa Valley’s supply.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Glen Avon Homes
- Unpermitted additions hiding code failures. Many Glen Avon homes gained extra square footage during Riverside County’s lighter enforcement decades. When we open a wall to run new plumbing, we sometimes find framing that was never inspected. That’s a stop-work order waiting to happen. We research building history before tearing anything out.
- Expansive clay pushing on slab foundations. The valley floor under Glen Avon shifts with moisture and heat. Shower pans set directly on a slab without proper reinforcement will crack as the slab moves. We build for heave from day one.
- Stringfellow-related soil-clearance triggers. Any ground disturbance near the Superfund boundary, even trenching a new tub drain, can require a Phase I or Phase II soil assessment before the permit is issued. We include that contingency in writing so it never becomes a surprise invoice.
- Dated 1960s plumbing that won’t support modern flow rates. Galvanized pipes from the original build are at the end of their service life. When we open a wall for a vanity or shower valve, corroded supply lines are the rule, not the exception. We scope replacement ahead of time.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Glen Avon
No, not every remodel. Only work that disturbs the ground, such as trenching for a new drain line or moving plumbing, may trigger a Phase I or Phase II environmental site assessment under Riverside County’s supervision. Cosmetic remodels above the slab typically don’t require one. We check your property’s specific status before we quote, so you’ll know in writing whether a soil-clearance contingency applies to your job. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll pull the records for your address.
Usually yes, a tub-to-shower conversion on the same footprint can proceed under a straightforward plumbing and finish permit rather than a full remodel review. The catch is what’s behind the walls. If prior work was done without permits, the inspector may require us to bring exposed framing or electrical up to code before signing off. We research permit history first so there are no surprises mid-project. For an exact assessment of your bathroom, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
We build the shower pan to move with the slab, not against it. That means a reinforced mud-set base or engineered joist support under the pan, plus a flexible waterproofing membrane rated for thermal expansion. Glen Avon’s expansive clay cycles through wet winters and 105°F summers, and a poorly supported pan will crack within a couple of seasons. Our method costs a little more up front and saves a full tear-out later. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your specific subfloor.
A reasonable contingency is $1,500 to $4,000 depending on the scope of ground disturbance and what a Phase I assessment finds. If a Phase II with actual soil sampling is required, the number can climb higher. We line-item this allowance in our written estimate, and if it’s not needed, you don’t pay it. That’s what “allowances in writing” means. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer for your lot.
No. An outbuilding bathroom is new construction, not a remodel, so it falls under different permit classifications and will also require septic setback verification from the county. If your property is on a well, you’ll need to confirm water service capacity for the added fixture. We manage both tracks, but they are separate permits with separate inspections. For a clear scope of what your property will support, call (877) 610-1318.
