AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Paradise
A full bathroom remodel in Paradise, NV typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion usually lands between $3,500 and $10,000. The bigger number nobody quotes over the phone is what happens when the old walls come down. That’s where we earn our keep. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your specific bathroom before we put a single number on paper.
Paradise is different from Las Vegas proper, and it matters more than most homeowners realize. You’re an unincorporated Clark County community. Your permits don’t come from the City of Las Vegas. Your bathroom rough-in, waterproofing, and any structural touch pass through the Clark County Building Department, and the inspector there has his own list of what he’ll open a wall to check. Then there’s the airport. Your 89119 ZIP sits under Harry Reid International flight paths, and any vertical work beyond the roofline can draw FAA attention. We already filed FAA Form 7460-1 on jobs around here. We know the drill.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owner-operated since 1998. Tom Barrett and his sons run our crews, and a live person answers our phone day and night. That matters when you’re halfway through a bathroom remodel and need an answer now.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Paradise’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Our Bathroom Remodeling crew has been in and out of Paradise homes long enough to know what a 1970s stucco tract house hides behind its original tile. We’ve pulled county permits on 89119 jobs more times than we can count, and we’ve stood next to homeowners while the Clark County inspector signed off on rough-in work that was done right the first time.
Paradise homeowners call us because Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look it up before you sign anything. That’s the point. A national outfit quotes one price on the phone and shows up with another. We write the quote, then we stand behind it, and any change that comes after demolition is a written change order priced and approved before we touch it.
Here’s what Paradise customers have told us they value most: we answer the phone with a person, not a voicemail box. We show up when we say we will. And when the permit inspector finds something, we don’t act surprised and hand over a new bill. We anticipated it, wrote it into the allowance, and told you about it at the kitchen table before we started.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Paradise
Walk-In Shower Installation
A walk-in shower in a Paradise home runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on the size of the stall, the tile selection, and whether we’re moving a drain. If your drain is moving, and you’re on a post-tension slab like most 1970s through 1990s tract homes in 89119, that triggers slab mapping before we ever cut. We don’t guess on that. A snapped post-tension cable can cost tens of thousands and shut the job down for weeks.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower runs $3,500 to $10,000 in Paradise, and it’s one of the most common projects we do for homeowners in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who want a step-free entry. The question that determines most of the cost is whether the existing drain line can be reused or whether it needs to move. If it needs to move, Clark County code applies, and we’ll tell you exactly what that means in writing before we start.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Small bathroom remodels in Paradise run $5,000 to $12,000. That’s the half-bath off the hallway or the guest bath that still has its original 1980s vanity and a shower valve that moans when you turn it. Small bathrooms are where we most often find the surprises: a shower pan that’s been leaking into the subfloor for a decade, or supply lines so corroded they’re one turn from failing.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We pull permits on full remodels, and we stage vanity, tile, and fixture selections so you’re not living in a construction zone longer than necessary. In 89119, many homes still have original 36-inch vanities that don’t meet current clearances. County code has an opinion about how much space should exist around a toilet. We build to it because it keeps the inspection clean and the resale value honest.

Trusted Brands We Service in Paradise
We install Schluter waterproofing systems, Grohe fixtures, and Sterling tubs and shower bases. These aren’t mystery brands off the back of a van. They’re names you can look up, with warranty structures we can explain. When you’re in Paradise and a Grohe cartridge fails three years after install, we’re close enough to come take a look. We’d rather fix it than debate who’s responsible.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Paradise Homes
- Corroded copper supply lines. Paradise’s hard water is famously aggressive on older copper. We’ve opened 1980s bathrooms near the airport boundary and found supply lines so thin you could flex them with a thumb. Replacing them before walls close is far cheaper than after the tile goes up.
- Failed shower pans. A shower pan from the 1990s was not built to last 30 years in this climate. By the time you see the stain on the ceiling below, the subfloor has been wet for years. We inspect what’s underneath before we quote.
- Notched load-bearing walls. Previous owners do things. A homeowner cut notches into a load-bearing wall to run a vent, and by the time we opened the wall, the studs were compromised. County code has a lot to say about that. We’ve brought rough-in up to current code before the inspector ever shows up, because onboarding surprises is how you get red-tagged.
- Post-tension slab confusion. Many 1970s through 1990s tract homes in Paradise sit on post-tension slabs. Cutting into one to move a drain without mapping the cable layout first is how you snap a cable and turn a $6,000 shower into a $40,000 structural repair. We don’t cut until the slab is mapped.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Paradise, NV
Here’s what we tell homeowners at the kitchen table before we ever sign a contract:

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Paradise
Yes, almost always. Paradise is unincorporated Clark County, so your bathroom remodel falls under the Clark County Building Department, not the City of Las Vegas. If we’re replacing a shower pan, touching plumbing rough-in, or changing the waterproofing behind tile, the county inspector will want to see it before we close the walls. Working without a permit here is how homeowners end up red-tagged when an inspector finds unpermitted rough-in during a later project. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your specific job triggers.
Because the contractor wrote a quote that assumed the walls were clean. In Paradise’s 1970s through 1990s housing stock, the walls are rarely clean. We handle it differently: we write inspection allowances and specific line items into the contract before we start. When we find corroded supply lines, failed waterproofing, or a load-bearing wall that was notched by a previous owner, the change order is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. You’ll never get a surprise bill at the end. If you’d like a second opinion on a written estimate from another company, we offer that free. Call (877) 610-1318.
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on where your lot sits relative to the Harry Reid International airspace surface. Any crane or structure that penetrates the airspace surface requires FAA Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction, filed before work starts. If we file late, the project can stall for weeks. We’ve filed it before on airport-adjacent jobs, and we’ll tell you up front whether your addition will trigger it before you spend money on plans. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer.
We don’t cut until we map the slab. Most residential lots in 89119 sit on post-tension concrete, and a snapped cable from an unplanned cut is a five-figure repair that shuts the job down. We bring in ground-penetrating radar or X-ray mapping, locate the cables, and then design the drain relocation around them. We write that mapping cost into the contract as a line item before work begins. If you have a written estimate from someone else that doesn’t mention slab mapping, get a second opinion. Call (877) 610-1318.
Expect the Clark County inspector to look at the waterproofing, the drain and vent connections, and any structural change before the walls are closed. He works for you, not for us, and that’s why we like him. We schedule the inspection at rough-in, we’re on site when he arrives, and we don’t ask him to sign anything that’s not done right. If he flags something, we fix it and call him back before drywall goes up. That’s the process that protects your home’s resale value in Paradise. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your specific permit will require.
