AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Pomona
A full bathroom remodel in Pomona typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the final number depends on what’s hiding behind the walls of your 1950s or 60s slab home. We’ve been remodeling bathrooms in Pomona long enough to know that older houses here carry a specific set of problems: corroded copper, cracked slab floors, and code upgrades that surface the moment a permit gets pulled. We also offer Pomona Pella service for window upgrades during your remodel. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the job with you before any paperwork is signed.
Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews that show up in Pomona. You’ll see the same faces at the hardware store on Holt Avenue, and the same name on the truck parked outside your house in the 91766 ZIP. We don’t hand your bathroom off to strangers. We’re the ones who answer the phone, write the scope, and stand behind the work when it’s done.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pomona’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Pomona homeowners have a right to be skeptical. Too many have been burned by outfits that quote one number on the phone and show up with another. We’ve built our name on a simple rule: every scope, every allowance, and every price change arrives as a written change order before we touch a single nail. If it isn’t on paper, it doesn’t exist. That’s why Pomona neighbors keep calling us back.
We’ve worked in the Lincoln Park Historic District, in the tract-home blocks off Garey Avenue, and in the newer builds near Phillips Ranch. Each one presents different framing, different plumbing, different surprises. What stays the same is how we handle them: inspection first, allowances in writing, permits pulled, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise that says if something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call. No fine print, no phone tree.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. When you call about a bathroom remodel in Pomona, you get someone who knows what a 1962 slab-on-grade tract home looks like once the tile comes off.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Pomona
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from a straightforward vanity swap to a full gut-and-reframe. These are the jobs we do most often in Pomona.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Pomona means taking the room down to studs and floor joists, then rebuilding it to current code. On a 1950s or 60s slab home, that often includes replacing galvanized supply lines, upgrading undersized framing, and addressing any slab movement before tile goes down. We write all of that into the scope before demolition starts, so there’s no mystery invoice at the end.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Pomona usually runs $4,500 to $12,000. That range covers everything from a simple acrylic pan with tiled walls to a fully custom enclosure with a bench, niche, and frameless glass. For older Pomona homeowners, a curbless entry with a built-in seat is one of the most practical upgrades we do. It keeps the bathroom usable for decades and looks sharp doing it.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion is the single most common request we get from Pomona homeowners. Many of these 1960s tract homes came with a standard 5-foot cast-iron tub that’s now rusted, chipped, or just too hard to climb into. We remove it, inspect the subfloor underneath (we’ve found rotted plywood more times than we can count), install a solid pan, and tile the surround. Expect $3,500 to $10,000 depending on what’s underneath.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Pomona starts around $800 for a stock unit and climbs from there for custom cabinetry with stone tops. Tile work prices vary with the material: basic ceramic runs $8 to $15 per square foot installed, while large-format porcelain and natural stone go higher. We recommend materials that hold up to Pomona’s hard water, which leaves deposits on fixtures and grout faster than homeowners expect.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Corroded copper and failed galvanized supply lines. Hard water in Pomona shortens the life of old copper rough-in. On a 1962 home in the 91766 ZIP, we found original copper so corroded it crumbled at the joints. We wrote a replacement allowance into the scope before we opened the wall.
- Rotted subfloors under tubs and toilets. Wax rings fail, water seeps, and plywood rots silently for years. Once the tile comes up, the subfloor often needs full replacement. We plan for it, write it into the allowance schedule, and get sign-off before proceeding.
- Undersized framing from previous hack jobs. We’ve opened walls to find load-bearing studs that were notched to nothing by a previous remodeler. When a permit is on the line, that framing has to be brought to code before we close the wall. That’s not a markup. That’s a safety issue.
- Cracked tile from slab movement. Expansive clay under Pomona slabs heaves with moisture cycles. Tile installed without an anti-fracture membrane cracks within a season or two. We install isolation membranes as standard on slab bathrooms in the 91768 and 91769 ZIPs.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona
Yes, in most cases a bathtub replacement in Pomona triggers a plumbing permit, and once walls are open on a pre-1980 home, the building inspector may require upgrades to framing, electrical, and waterproofing before sign-off. Unpermitted work leaves no inspection record and can stall escrow when you sell. We pull permits on every eligible job, and we like the inspector. He works for you, not for us. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what your specific bathroom will require.
We write allowances for unknowns into every bathroom contract before demolition starts. That means when we find rotted subfloor, corroded piping, or undersized framing in a 1950s Pomona slab home, the fix is already priced, already scoped, and already in writing. You approve a written change order before we proceed. There is no surprise invoice at the end, because the allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Older Pomona homes hide failed wax rings, rusted cast-iron drain lines, water-damaged studs, and code triggers behind tile. Contractors who don’t include written allowances get blamed when the real scope surfaces. We handle it by writing those allowances into the contract up front, and by pricing the permit and inspection requirements before we swing a hammer. If a surprise shows up, it’s already covered by a line item you’ve seen and approved. Get an exact quote at (877) 610-1318.
Yes, when it’s done right. On a Pomona slab home, tile set directly on a slab that heaves with moisture cycles will crack and fail. We install an anti-fracture membrane between the slab and the tile, and we inspect for existing slab cracks before setting anything. If we find significant heave or a structural issue, we tell you before we tile, not after. That’s the difference between a shower that lasts fifteen years and one that cracks in a season.
Yes. We’ve worked in the Lincoln Park Historic District and understand what a pre-1920 Craftsman bathroom requires: period-appropriate tile profiles, careful plumbing routing through century-old framing, and additional permitting scrutiny for any structural change. We keep the character intact while bringing plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing to current code. The permit inspector works for you, and so do we. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a walk-through.
