AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Loomis
A full bathroom remodel in Loomis typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with most projects landing between two and five weeks depending on scope, WUI requirements, and what we find once the walls are open. The real question isn’t just the tile and fixtures, it’s whether your 1960s ranch off King Road or Horseshoe Bar Road has old wiring, a notched header, or a septic system that Placer County Environmental Health wants to evaluate before you add that second full bath. We’ve been running crews in Loomis long enough to know how those surprises show up, and we handle every one of them the same way: inspection first, the scope in writing, and any price change approved on paper before a nail moves. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will talk you through what your specific home is likely to need.
Key takeaways:
- Full bathroom remodels in Loomis run $9,000-$28,000; small baths run $5,000-$12,000.
- WUI overlay and septic review can add scope that Roseville or Rocklin quotes never account for.
- Every change is a written change order, priced and signed before work proceeds.
- Permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job, no exceptions.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Loomis’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name is on every contract and every permit. Our Bathroom Remodeling crew doesn’t get dispatched from some regional call center. Tom’s sons run the crews, and they’re on-site most days. Homeowners around Loomis regularly tell us the same thing: they’d rather pay a fair price to a contractor whose face they’ll see at the Loomis Basin farmers market on Saturday than roll the dice on a national outfit that quotes one number on the phone and hands over a different one at the door.
We answer our own phone, live, 24 hours a day. When you call (877) 610-1318 about a master bath off Brace Road or a hall bath near downtown Loomis, you’re talking to a person who knows the area, not a voicemail box in another state. And because Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, you can look all of it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. That’s how we’ve handled Loomis work for over two decades.
We also understand what a permit actually triggers here. Loomis sits squarely in Placer County’s wildland-urban interface zone, and a bathroom remodel that opens an exterior wall can drag in WUI compliance requirements for ignition-resistant cladding and ember-resistant venting that a comparable job in Roseville never faces. Contractors who don’t know that get halfway through demo and then hit a stop order. We check the WUI map before we touch a wall.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Loomis
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We gut it, re-frame what needs re-framing, update the wiring and plumbing that older Loomis homes routinely hide, and rebuild with tile, fixtures, and vanities you can actually look up by brand. On a 1960s ranch off Horseshoe Bar Road, our crew opened a bathroom wall to move the vanity and found knob-and-tube wiring buried behind the tile and a load-bearing header that had been notched decades ago for a vent stack. We stopped, wrote a change order for the rewire and a steel flitch plate, and got the extra inspection sign-off before closing anything up. The homeowner paid exactly what the change order said, no more. That’s how every full remodel in Loomis goes: nothing concealed, nothing guessed.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade we see in Loomis, especially in ranch homes where a 60-inch tub eats a third of a small bathroom. We handle curbless entries, linear drains, frameless glass enclosures, and the waterproofing system that actually keeps a shower dry for decades. On a WUI lot, we also check whether relocating an exhaust fan to an outside wall triggers an ember-resistant vent requirement. That’s the kind of detail that keeps a project moving instead of stalling at inspection.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Removing a 40-year-old cast iron tub and converting it to a walk-in shower usually runs $3,500 to $10,000 in Loomis. The bigger variable isn’t the tile, it’s what’s behind the tub: older homes in the 95650 ZIP frequently have failing drain lines, moisture-damaged subfloor, or vent stacks that were cut into structural members decades ago. We account for that before we give you a number, not after the trigger on the demo hammer.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
If your vanity has been against the same wall since Lyndon Johnson was in office, the wall itself may need remediation before a new one goes in. We carry and install named brands you can verify, and we write every allowance into the contract so you know exactly what the line item covers. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. That’s why ours are on paper.

Trusted Brands We Service in Loomis
We don’t install mystery brands off a van. We work with materials Loomis homeowners can look up and compare, the same way Tom would if it were his own house. For the hardscape and tile side of a bathroom remodel, we regularly source through Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers, which means the materials have published specs and warranties behind them. And because we carry local parts inventory for the Loomis area, a missing trim piece or a cracked threshold doesn’t mean a two-week wait. It means one phone call and a trip up the road.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Loomis Homes
- Knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring behind the tile. Loomis’s 1950s-1970s ranch stock frequently hides outdated electrical that hasn’t seen an inspection in fifty years. Closing walls over it without sign-off just passes the mess to the next owner.
- Notched or undersized load-bearing framing. Decades ago, plumbers and handymen cut through headers and joists to run vent stacks and drains. We open the wall, find the damage, and write a change order for the repair before any new tile goes up.
- Moisture damage in bathroom subfloors. The shrink-swell clay common to Loomis’s foothill terrain moves slabs just enough to crack old shower pans and let water sit in the framing. By the time you see the tile grout staining, the subfloor is often already compromised.
- WUI surprises on exterior walls. Placer County’s WUI map places many standard Loomis subdivisions, not just rural outparcels, in High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Move a window or an exhaust fan to an outside wall, and you could trigger a full WUI compliance review mid-project. We check first.

Here’s what bathroom work actually costs in Loomis’s current market. These are the numbers we quote, and they match what Placer County projects are actually going for right now.
| Service | Typical Range in Loomis |

What moves the number most isn’t the tile you pick. It’s what’s inside the walls: old wiring, notched framing, a shower pan that’s been leaking into the subfloor. On a large-lot ranchette in Loomis, adding a second full bath can also trigger a septic capacity review through Placer County Environmental Health, and a failed percolation test forces a system upgrade that nobody saw coming. We write allowances into the contract so you know what the unknown costs are before we open a single wall. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a free written estimate, line by line. The estimate is free, and it’s honest.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Loomis
A bathroom remodel that doesn’t touch an exterior wall usually won’t trigger a WUI review, but the moment you move a window, relocate an exhaust fan to an outside wall, or enlarge an exterior opening, Placer County’s WUI overlay can require ignition-resistant cladding, ember-resistant venting, and a compliance review. Contractors working in Roseville or Rocklin never face this on a comparable job because those cities sit outside the mapped fire hazard severity zones. In Loomis, many standard subdivisions are mapped High or Very High, so we check the overlay before demo starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your project against Placer County’s WUI map for free.
We assume it does until we prove otherwise. On a 1960s ranch off Horseshoe Bar Road, our crew found knob-and-tube wiring buried behind tile and a header that had been illegally notched decades ago. We stopped, wrote a change order for the rewire and a steel flitch plate, and got the extra inspection sign-off before closing the wall. You pay the change order amount and not a dollar more. That’s how every surprise gets handled: written, priced, and approved before work proceeds.
Yes, and on a large-lot Loomis property with a private septic system, Placer County Environmental Health may need to sign off on the existing system’s capacity before you add a second full bath or expand the footprint. A failed percolation test can force a system upgrade that adds thousands to the project. We check that before demolition so the number we give you is the number you actually pay. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll confirm what your specific parcel triggers.
A small bath in a 1950s-70s Loomis home often hides the same wiring, framing, and waterproofing issues as a larger one, compressed into a tighter space that’s harder to work in. When the walls are open, a 40-square-foot hall bath off King Road can need the same rewire, the same subfloor repair, and the same WUI vent compliance as a master bath three times its size. The fixture budget is smaller, but the correction work isn’t. Our written scope shows you exactly where the dollars are going before you sign.
You should, and you’ll notice the Roseville quote doesn’t include the WUI review, the septic sign-off, or the older-home wiring and framing realities that a Loomis project carries. That’s not the other contractor being dishonest, it’s them not knowing what your parcel triggers. When you compare, ask whether the price includes permits pulled, inspections signed, and written change orders for whatever’s found inside the walls. If the answer is no, the numbers aren’t comparable. We’ll give you a free second opinion on any written estimate, line by line, no obligation. Call (877) 610-1318.
