Those are real numbers from the hillside lots and 1920s bungalows we work in every week.

Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and you’ll get Tom Barrett or one of his sons on the line, not a call center.

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

Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. That matters in Silver Lake, where a contractor who doesn’t know the difference between a 1926 Craftsman on Micheltorena and a 1954 post-and-beam above the reservoir is going to learn it the expensive way, on your dime. We’ve worked on bathrooms in every corner of the 90026 ZIP code, from the flats near Sunset Junction up to the steep lots off Silver Lake Boulevard where the street itself tilts like a funhouse.

Our Silver Lake customers call us back because every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. Every permit gets pulled and every inspection gets signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, that’s why I like him. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. We also back every completed job with a 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.

We’re part of the local Bathroom Remodeling team serving Silver Lake directly, with scheduling coordinated from our Los Angeles office. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends when most Silver Lake homeowners finally have time to think about the cracked tile in the guest bath.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Silver Lake

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full bathroom remodel in Silver Lake means working around what the hillside gave you, whether that’s a 5-by-7-foot bath in a 1930s Spanish Colonial near Hyperion Avenue or a larger master bath in a mid-century modern off Redcliff Street. We handle demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish work. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives in writing before work happens. A full remodel here runs $9,000 to $28,000, and we pull permits on every eligible job.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in shower installation in Silver Lake runs $4,500 to $12,000. We build a lot of curbless showers for homeowners who want to stay in their hillside homes as they age, and we waterproof with Schluter-Kerdi membrane so the slope of your lot doesn’t turn into a slow leak under the tile. Frameless glass enclosures are a common request in the Neutra-inspired homes near the reservoir, where clean lines and natural light are part of the house’s language.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

A tub-to-shower conversion in Silver Lake runs $3,500 to $10,000, and it’s the fastest way to make a pre-war bathroom feel bigger without moving a single wall. We see a lot of original cast-iron tubs from the 1920s and 30s in homes along Griffith Park Boulevard and Rowena Avenue. Removing one is a real job, and doing it wrong damages the subfloor. Our crew handles it with floor protection and a written disposal plan.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000, and we carry premium brands like Grohe fixtures and Sterling tubs that you can look up before you sign. If you’re replacing a vanity in a small Silver Lake bath, we’ll help you pick something that fits the door swing and doesn’t fight the plumbing rough-in. Tile work is priced by the square foot after we measure your walls, and we write every material allowance on paper. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

Trusted Brands We Service in Silver Lake

We install and service fixtures and materials from brands we’re willing to put our name behind, including Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling tubs and shower bases, and Grohe faucets and shower valves. We stock common replacement parts for Silver Lake jobs, which means we’re not waiting a week for a valve cartridge to ship from a warehouse in Ohio. If you’ve got a leaky Grohe shower in a house above the reservoir, we can usually get it sorted quickly. And if your roof is involved in the remodel, we also handle Roofing in Silver Lake, including the flat-roof parapets that channel Santa Ana wind-driven rain into bathroom walls on the hillside.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Silver Lake Homes

• Sloped floors and out-of-level walls on cut-and-fill lots. Hillside homes settle, and a bathroom floor that’s off by an inch across eight feet will crack tile within a year if you don’t level the substrate first. We check with a laser before we quote, not after we demo.
• Original cast-iron plumbing from the 1920s and 30s. The pre-war homes near Sunset Junction often have drains and supply lines that are seventy to a hundred years old. A bathroom remodel is often the first time anyone has seen the inside of those pipes, and we’ll show you photos before we quote the repair.
• Wind-driven rain infiltration at exterior bathroom walls. The hillside microclimate channels strong Santa Ana winds through the canyons each fall, and bathroom walls on the exposed side of a house take the brunt of it. We flash and waterproof exterior penetrations before we hang drywall, because the leak that starts in the bathroom usually starts outside it.
• Non-bolted foundations and cripple-wall shifting. Many Silver Lake homes predate modern seismic code, and a shifting foundation shows up as cracked grout, leaning shower doors, and tile popping off the wall. If we see movement, we tell you, and we bring in a structural engineer before we tile over it.
