We’ve spent nearly three decades working on the 1920s bungalows and post-war duplexes that line Pacific Boulevard, Gage Avenue, and the residential streets off Florence. Something about Huntington Park homes is predictable in the best way: they were framed tight, built on small lots, and wired in an era when a bathroom had one outlet if it had any at all. That’s not a problem to us. It’s the job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and the last contractor most Huntington Park homeowners used told them permits were optional. Ours aren’t.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Huntington Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we say we know Huntington Park’s housing stock, we mean we’ve opened enough walls here to know what’s coming before the first swing of the hammer. That matters when you’re spending five figures on a bathroom and the difference between a fixed scope and a moving quote is whether your contractor knows what a 1940s bungalow on a 4,800-square-foot lot actually looks like under the tile.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team answers the phone when you call. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. A live person, any hour, any day. When you call about a remodel in Huntington Park, you’ll get someone who has stood in kitchens and bathrooms on the same streets where you live.
Every price change we make arrives as a written change order before the work proceeds. Every allowance is written into the contract up front. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and you won’t meet that date with us. We also pull permits and sign off inspections on every eligible job, which is exactly why we’re the contractor Huntington Park homeowners call after someone else told them permits were optional.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Huntington Park
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Huntington Park means something specific: opening walls and finding what the original builder left in 1938 or 1952. We scope for that from day one. Gutting to the studs, rebuilding with modern framing where needed, rough-in plumbing and electrical, waterproofing systems like Schluter, tile, fixtures, and a finished room that passes inspection. Typical Huntington Park full baths run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size and what the walls reveal.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Most Huntington Park bungalows were built with a single tub, and homeowners over 60 often want that tub gone and a walk-in shower in its place. We do these conversions on a near-weekly basis across 90255. The work is more involved than swapping a fixture: we correct the drain slope, upgrade the valve, install proper waterproofing, and handle the code-triggered electrical upgrade if the wall cavity hasn’t been touched since the Roosevelt administration. Expect $3,500 to $10,000 for a tub-to-shower conversion in Huntington Park.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested bathroom feature in Huntington Park right now. Older residents staying in the homes where they raised children want a curbless or low-curb entry and grab-bar blocking in the walls. We build it right the first time: proper pan slope, Schluter membrane, and framing reinforcement so the glass enclosure has something substantial to anchor into. A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 in Huntington Park.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones are fine and the bathroom just needs new life. Vanity replacement, fixture swaps, and full tile work fall under smaller scopes we handle regularly in Huntington Park. A vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000. When we install tile, we use products by Schluter and fixtures by Grohe or Sterling, brands you can look up and verify rather than mystery brands off a van.

Trusted Brands We Service in Huntington Park
You’ll see the same brands in our Huntington Park remodels that you’d see in a high-end showroom, because we don’t install materials we can’t stand behind. We use Schluter waterproofing systems under tile, Grohe and Sterling fixtures, and GAF products where roofing ties in above a second-story bathroom. Parts and materials for these brands are stocked locally, which keeps turnaround tight when you’re mid-remodel and need a specific valve or trim kit. If you want to verify what we install, look it up. We’d rather you did.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Huntington Park Homes
- Hidden knob-and-tube or early Romex wiring. Huntington Park’s 1920s through 1950s homes often have ungrounded circuits behind the walls. Once we open a wall for a remodel, code requires bringing that electrical up to current standards. We write an electrical allowance into the contract before demolition so this isn’t a surprise.
- Cast-iron and galvanized supply lines. The original plumbing in many Huntington Park bungalows is nearing a century old. Cast-iron drain lines under the slab corrode from the inside. We include a plumbing allowance in writing so that if we find rotten pipe, the fix is already priced and approved.
- Rotted subfloor under old tubs. Decades of minor leaks around a 1950s tub edge eat the framing underneath. On a duplex off Pacific Boulevard, we routinely find subfloor that looks fine from above and crumbles when exposed. We handle it with a written change order, never a mid-job demand for more money.
- Shared-wall bathroom challenges in small apartment courts. Huntington Park is among the most densely populated cities in California. Bathrooms in small apartment courts share wet walls, which means plumbing changes affect the neighbor. We know how to scope these jobs so the work stays on your side of the wall.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Huntington Park
Almost certainly yes. When we open a wall in a Huntington Park home built before 1960, code requires the exposed electrical to be brought up to current standards. Ungrounded knob-and-tube or early Romex without a ground wire is common here, and it won’t pass an inspection if we leave it. We write an electrical allowance into your contract before demolition so the upgrade is priced in writing, not dropped on you mid-project.
Because Huntington Park’s housing stock is older and denser than surrounding areas. The 1920s to 1950s bungalows and apartment courts have hidden wiring, cast-iron plumbing, and shared walls that neighboring cities with newer inventory simply don’t deal with. A contractor who doesn’t know this will quote you a number that can’t hold. We price for what we know is behind your walls before we open them. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’d like us to walk your home and give you a fixed scope.
Yes, and this is where Huntington Park’s geography complicates things. Your lot size doesn’t change the permit requirement, but the city’s small planning department means permit pull times can lag significantly compared to the City of LA. We include that timeline in our schedule from the start. We never start demolition before the permit is actually issued, because doing so triggers a stop-work order and leaves you with a torn-up bathroom and a waiting game.
We stop work, show you the problem, and write a change order. That’s it. The change order has a price and a scope, and you approve it before we proceed. We’ve done this enough times on Huntington Park duplexes to expect the rotted subfloor, which is why our contracts carry a framing and subfloor allowance so the first surprise isn’t a surprise at all. One call to us gets a written answer, not a verbal shrug.
Yes, with proper scoping. The plumbing in a shared wall is the issue: drain stacks and supply lines often run through a common wall cavity. We design the remodel so the work stays on your side, and when we do need to touch shared infrastructure, we coordinate in advance. We’ve worked in Huntington Park’s small courts long enough to know which walls are yours and which belong to the building.
