AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Morgan Hill
A full bathroom remodel in Morgan Hill typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and most projects take two to five weeks depending on plumbing changes, tile footprint, and whether we’re reconfiguring walls. We’ve worked on both classic 1990s tract homes along Cochrane Road and the smaller pre-1960s bungalows near downtown Morgan Hill, so we know what hides behind those walls. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett or one of his sons will walk you through a real number before any work starts.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Morgan Hill’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Around Morgan Hill, a lot of homeowners tell us the same story: a national outfit quoted one price over the phone, then handed them a different number after the paperwork arrived. That doesn’t happen with us. Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s sons run the crews. When we give you a price for a bathroom remodel, that price stays where it is unless you ask us to change the scope. Every change arrives as a written change order before a single tile gets pulled.
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. The crew that shows up on East Main Avenue or up toward Madrone is the same crew Tom would send to his own house. And because Morgan Hill sits right on the Calaveras Fault, we pay close attention to what’s behind the tile: wall anchoring, floor deflection, and waterproofing details that a cheaper crew skips. That’s why homeowners here keep our number after the job’s done.
The best way to check us out is to do what Tom tells every customer: look up the license number yourself. It’s published, along with Tom’s name and address. And if you want a second set of eyes on any written estimate you’ve already received, we offer a free second opinion with no trip charge inside the county.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Morgan Hill
Most of the bathrooms we see in Morgan Hill fall into two groups: the 1990s and early 2000s master baths in the planned developments off Cochrane and the smaller, more cramped bathrooms in older homes near the historic downtown core. Both have different headaches. Here’s what we handle most often.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-replace bathroom remodel in Morgan Hill covers everything from the subfloor up: new shower pan or tub, new tile, new vanity, new fixtures, new lighting, new exhaust fan. We handle demolition, plumbing, electrical, drywall, waterproofing, tile, and finish work under one roof so you’re not babysitting three different crews. In many 1990s Morgan Hill tract homes, the original shower pans are now past their useful life, and we often find water damage in the subfloor once the old tile comes up.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
A lot of Morgan Hill homeowners in their 50s and 60s are done with stepping over a tub wall. Walk-in showers with a low-profile or zero-threshold entry, solid surface or tile walls, and a built-in bench make daily life easier and safer. We install waterproofing systems like Schluter before a single tile goes on, because the last thing you want in a Morgan Hill hillside home is a slow leak turning into mold you can’t see.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Morgan Hill usually costs $3,500 to $10,000. The job replaces the old tub with a walk-in shower, often gaining you a few inches of elbow room without moving any walls. It’s one of the fastest bathroom projects we do, and it’s a common request from homeowners whose 1990s builder-grade tubs have cracked or simply stopped feeling useful. We can usually have the space usable again within a week to ten days, depending on tile choices.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones of the bathroom are fine and you just need the surface brought into this decade. We replace vanities, install tile floors and shower surrounds, swap faucets and shower valves, and hang new mirrors and lighting. For Morgan Hill homeowners who want a softer look than builder-basic white, we carry lines like Grohe for fixtures and can order vanities in sizes that actually fit older downtown bathrooms where the door swings are tight.

Trusted Brands We Service in Morgan Hill
We don’t bring mystery materials off the back of a van.

If a brand is worth putting in your home, it’s worth naming on the contract. We keep our supplier relationships close enough that special-order parts for Morgan Hill jobs arrive fast, and if something’s not right, Tom makes it right under the 90-Day Done Right Promise written into every contract.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Morgan Hill Homes
- Failed shower pans in 1990s tract homes. The original rubber or PVC pan liners in many Cochrane Road-area homes have hit the end of their service life. By the time you see a water stain on the ceiling below, the subfloor has usually been wet for a while.
- No exhaust fan or an underpowered one. A lot of older downtown Morgan Hill bathrooms vent into the attic or nowhere at all. The Santa Clara Valley morning fog and cool winters don’t help. Without proper ventilation, moisture sits on walls and ceilings and mildew follows.
- Narrow door swings and cramped layouts. Bathrooms in pre-1960s Morgan Hill homes near the historic core were built for a different era. Re-hanging doors, switching to a pocket door, or swapping a tub for a shower can recover space without moving walls.
- Wall flex behind tile. In hillside parcels up toward the Diablo Range foothills, we sometimes find framing that’s moved over the years. Tile doesn’t like movement. We shore up and flatten walls before installation so your grout doesn’t crack in year two.
