Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lemmon Valley
Bathroom remodeling in Lemmon Valley typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut-and-replace, with smaller jobs like a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000. The price depends on what’s hiding behind those 1980s walls, which is exactly why we walk every job before we quote it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll set up a time to look at your bathroom together, no charge for the visit.
Lemmon Valley is a different kind of place to build than Reno or Sparks. The basin holds water, the water table moves with the snowmelt, and the older slabs have been flexing in that seasonal cycle for four decades. That shapes how we plan a bathroom here before a single tile goes down. We’ve worked in homes near Swan Lake, off Lemmon Drive, and throughout the 89506 zip code, so when you describe a moisture problem or a cracked floor, we usually know what’s causing it before we park the truck.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lemmon Valley’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and his sons still run the crews. When you call about a bathroom remodel in Lemmon Valley, the person answering the phone is someone who knows the area and knows the work. Not a call center. Not a rotating cast of subcontractors. The name on the truck is the family that shows up.
Local reputation here matters differently than it does in bigger markets. Lemmon Valley has a patchwork of occupied homes next to county-bought lots near the Swan Lake playa, which means neighbors have watched contractors come and go for years. A lot of them have stories about jobs that started with a low phone quote and ended with change orders and surprise invoices. We run on written change orders for every scope adjustment. Nothing moves without your signature. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he’ll invite you to look them up. Every bathroom we finish carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on the contract. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
We’ve done Bathroom Remodeling work from Cold Springs down through Sun Valley, and the Lemmon Valley jobs always come with the same thread: older slabs, higher seasonal water, and a homeowner who wants the work done once. We plan for that from the first walkthrough.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lemmon Valley
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in a Lemmon Valley home usually means taking a 1970s or 1980s bathroom down to the studs and rebuilding it the right way. That includes checking what decades of high groundwater has done to the subfloor and the bottom plate of the wall framing. In homes closer to the Swan Lake playa, we’ve seen sill plates that looked fine from above but were spongy once the tile came up. We address that before we build over it, because tile on a compromised slab is a warranty claim waiting to happen. Full remodels run $9,000 to $28,000 in this market.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
A walk-in shower is one of the most practical upgrades for Lemmon Valley’s single-story ranch homes, especially for the 50-to-70 crowd who want to age in place without climbing over a tub wall. We frame the shower pan with slope and drainage specific to your home’s slab condition. If the slab has any cracking from years of freeze-thaw and high water table, we’ll catch it during demo. Walk-in shower installation in Lemmon Valley runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a shower replacement lands between $3,000 and $8,500.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Most of the tubs we pull out of Lemmon Valley homes are original cast iron or fiberglass from the Reagan era, and a lot of them sit against exterior walls that have been quietly collecting condensation for 40 years. A tub-to-shower conversion opens that wall cavity and lets us correct any moisture damage before the new shower goes in. Conversions in the 89506 area run $3,500 to $10,000 depending on valve relocation, waterproofing scope, and finish materials.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities, tile, fixtures, and frameless glass enclosures across Lemmon Valley, and we source from brands you can actually look up. Cambria and KraftMaid are the ones we reach for most in bathrooms, because the finish and the warranty matter. A bathroom vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000. We also handle tub replacement where a conversion doesn’t make sense, and we’ll steer you straight on whether your slab can take the added weight of a cast iron tub or whether an acrylic unit is the smarter call.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lemmon Valley Homes
- Moisture in the wall cavity behind original tubs: Lemmon Valley’s cold winters and high-elevation air mean condensation forms on exterior walls, and in 1970s-era homes that rarely had proper vapor barriers, the damage compounds year after year. We see it every time we pull a tub off an outside wall.
- Slab movement and cracked floor tile: The seasonal high groundwater under Lemmon Valley, especially near the Swan Lake playa, stresses slab foundations in ways Reno’s free-draining soils don’t. Cracks in bathroom floor tile are often a symptom of that movement, not just bad installation.
- Poor ventilation and mold in older ranch homes: Single-story 1980s builds often have undersized exhaust fans or none at all. In a basin that holds moisture and runs cold half the year, that shows up as persistent mold on ceilings and trim. We address ventilation as part of every remodel we plan.
- Code gaps from pre-floodplain-mapping construction: Some Lemmon Valley homes were permitted before anyone understood the basin’s drainage problem. We frequently find plumbing and waterproofing work that doesn’t meet current code, and we pull permits to bring it up to standard on every eligible job.
