Tom Barrett put his name on this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews today. When you schedule a free estimate in Sausalito, you’ll meet someone who will still be around after the job is done, because we live and work right here in the Bay Area. That matters in a town where a bathroom remodel often means hand-carrying a new tub up sixty stairs while the fog rolls in off the Gate.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sausalito’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Most of our Sausalito customers call us after another outfit already burned them once. They tell us about a phone quote that doubled at the door, or a contractor who vanished when the permit inspector asked questions. That’s why we put every allowance, every scope change, every fixture decision in writing before a single nail moves. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

We’re owner-operated from the first call to the final inspection. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number, so you can look him up before you sign anything. Our crew members are background-checked and they carry the Barrett & Sons name on their uniforms. When they show up at your home off Caledonia Street or up in the Wolfback Ridge area, they know who sent them and why.

We’ve worked the Sausalito market long enough to know that a bathroom on a steep lot is a different job than the same bathroom on flat ground in Mill Valley. The estimate from someone who has never hauled a vanity up a switchback stairway is the estimate that changes. Ours doesn’t, because the change order goes in writing before work begins, and it either gets your signature or it doesn’t happen.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Sausalito

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A complete bathroom remodel in Sausalito means gutting to the studs, addressing whatever the salt air has done to the framing, and rebuilding with materials rated for a marine environment. We’ve torn out tub surrounds in hillside homes above Spring Street and found dry rot creeping into the wall cavity from years of trapped fog moisture. Full remodels here typically run $9,000 to $28,000, and the range reflects whether we’re working on a floating home with marine-grade fasteners or a 1960s wood-frame house on a steep lot.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in showers are the single most common request we get from Sausalito homeowners in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. Stepping over a tub wall gets harder every year, and a curbless shower with a frameless glass enclosure opens up even the smallest hillside bathrooms. In Sausalito, a walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on the glass, the tile, and whether the drain needs to move.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Converting a tub to a shower in Sausalito costs $3,500 to $10,000 and usually takes three to five days. The big variable on hillside lots is water pressure. Some of the older homes off Bridgeway have galvanized supply lines that have constricted over decades, and if we’re already opening the wall, it’s the right time to replace them. We’ll show you the condition of the lines before you decide.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Vanity installation in Sausalito runs $800 to $3,000, depending on whether you’re swapping a unit in place or reconfiguring plumbing in an older home. We carry lines like KraftMaid for cabinetry and Cambria for solid surfaces, so you’re choosing from named brands you can look up, not mystery products off the back of a van. Tile work in Sausalito bathrooms has to hold up to persistent moisture and temperature swings, so we pay close attention to waterproofing under the tile, not just the tile itself.

If your bathroom project is part of a broader remodel, our Bathroom Remodeling team handles the full scope start to finish. And if the marine air has done damage beyond the bathroom walls, we also handle Roofing in Sausalito and Windows & Doors in Sausalito, so one call covers the jobs that overlap.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sausalito

We don’t install supplies we wouldn’t put in our own homes. For Sausalito bathrooms, that means fixtures and finishes from brands with reputations that predate the internet: KraftMaid vanities, Cambria countertops, and Moen or Delta plumbing fixtures with marine-grade finishes. We stock common replacement parts for these brands locally, so a warranty call three years from now doesn’t mean waiting three weeks on a backorder. We also work with Techo-Bloc and Quikrete for any bathroom-adjacent hardscaping or concrete work, like extending a drain line through a hillside retaining wall.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sausalito Homes

Every town has its own flavor of trouble, and Sausalito’s shows up in predictable ways once you’ve opened enough walls. Here’s what we run into most:

• Salt-corrosion on metal components. Sausalito sits at the mouth of the Golden Gate, which makes the marine air here saltier and wetter than almost anywhere else in Marin. Unprotected fasteners, valve stems, and even the internals of older faucets corrode faster here than in Tiburon or Mill Valley, and we see it on nearly every pre-1990 bathroom we open.
• Dry rot from trapped fog moisture. Hillside homes with poor bathroom ventilation send warm, moist air into wall cavities and crawl spaces where the fog outside keeps everything damp. This accelerates dry rot in post-and-pier foundations and makes waterproofing under tile a non-negotiable step, not an upgrade.
• Stair access and material staging. Above Spring Street and along many of the steep streets, there’s no driveway or alley. Full deliveries get staged at the curb and relayed up 60 to 100 steps by hand. Any Sausalito bathroom bid that doesn’t account for this labor is a bid from someone who hasn’t actually walked your property yet.
• Floating-home plumbing constraints. For bathrooms on Richardson Bay floating homes, the waste and vent lines run through the hull, not through a concrete slab or crawl space. Working below the waterline calls for marine-rated lumber, stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, and a working knowledge of dock and hull permitting that simply doesn’t exist in any other Marin city.
