AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Summerlin South
A full bathroom remodel in Summerlin South, NV typically runs $9,000-$28,000, and the work usually takes three to six weeks depending on scope and the Architectural Review Committee’s review window. If you’re planning a walk-in shower, tub-to-shower conversion, or a full gut renovation, the first question isn’t which tile to pick. It’s whether your contractor knows Summerlin South’s dual-approval process: Clark County permits plus the Summerlin Community Association’s Architectural Review Committee (ARC) sign-off on anything touching an exterior wall, vent, or window. We do. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through the timeline before you sign anything.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Summerlin South’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That means the name on the truck is the name that shows up at your door in the 89135 zip. We’ve remodeled bathrooms in Summerlin South long enough to know which ARC submittals get flagged, which vent cover styles pass without a second look, and which tile choices will bounce back for revision. We also handle Summerlin South Windows & Doors when your remodel calls for them. Homeowners here tell us the same thing: they got burned by a national outfit that quoted one price on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. That doesn’t happen with us. Every scope change, every allowance, every price adjustment arrives as a written change order before work moves forward.
Our reputation in Summerlin South is built on something simple: Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look them up before you sign anything. A live person answers the phone 24/7, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. And every job ends with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. Ask anyone on your street.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Summerlin South
We focus on Bathroom Remodeling work that fits Summerlin South’s housing stock: stucco-over-frame single-family homes built from the mid-1990s through the 2010s, many now approaching 30 years old. Here’s what we handle most often.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in Summerlin South means gutting the space and rebuilding it around how you actually live. For a first-generation Summerlin home off the 215 Beltway, that often means pulling out a dated garden tub, reconfiguring the footprint, and bringing the room up to current code. We handle the ARC submittal for any exterior penetration before demolition starts, so you’re never sitting with drywall open waiting on a committee. A full remodel here runs $9,000-$28,000, and we schedule the work so the ARC review runs parallel to the permit process, not after it.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Summerlin South runs $4,500-$12,000, and it’s the most common request we get from homeowners in their 50s and 60s who want to stay in their homes as they age. We build zero-threshold or low-threshold entries, install grab-bar blocking behind the walls, and use tile and glass that clear the desert-contemporary palette the ARC expects. If you’re adding a new exhaust vent through an exterior wall, we pull the submittal packet for the vent location and louver style before we cut the rough-in.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Summerlin South runs $3,500-$10,000, and it’s one of the fastest ways to make a small bathroom feel twice as large. We remove the old tub, reconfigure the drain line, and build a tiled shower in its footprint. If the drain needs to move on the ground floor, we factor in the caliche hardpan that runs shallow across western Summerlin South. That dense calcium-carbonate shelf turns a routine drain-line move into a jackhammer operation, and it’s a line-item that out-of-town GCs routinely miss when they bid on paper.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Summerlin South runs $800-$3,000, depending on size and whether you’re replacing in place or moving plumbing. We stock brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. Tile, fixtures, and glass get the same ARC-conscious review: if a frameless glass enclosure or tile accent violates the earthy, desert-contemporary palette, we catch it before the committee does. That’s the difference between a project that finishes and one that stalls halfway through.

Trusted Brands We Service in Summerlin South
We install premium-brand materials across every trade we touch, and we stand behind them. For bathrooms, that means products like Techo-Bloc and Quikrete for any hardscape or structural work tied into the remodel, and we keep common replacement parts stocked locally so Summerlin South customers aren’t waiting on a slow freight order. Our Summerlin South customers get fast turnaround on warranty parts and fixture replacements because we’re already working in the 89135 zip every week.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Summerlin South Homes
- ARC stop-work notices on exterior vents. A contractor cuts a new exhaust vent through an exterior wall without checking the ARC design guidelines for approved materials and colors. The committee flags it, work stops, and the homeowner pays for a re-submittal after drywall is already open. We pull the submittal before demolition.
- Caliche hardpan surprise on drain-line moves. Relocating a toilet or shower drain on the ground floor in western Summerlin South often means jackhammering through the caliche shelf. Out-of-town bidders don’t price it, then hand you a change order halfway through. We price it up front.
- First-generation shower pans failing. Homes built in the mid-1990s in the 89135 zip are hitting the age where original shower pans start leaking into subfloors. By the time you see water damage on the ceiling below, the pan has been failing for months. We pull the old pan, inspect the framing, and rebuild to current waterproofing standards.
- Winter freeze stress on plumbing. Summerlin South sits at 2,500-3,000 feet, and winter nights occasionally dip below freezing in a way Las Vegas proper rarely sees. Poorly insulated supply lines in exterior bathroom walls can freeze and split. We check insulation and reroute where it makes sense during a remodel.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Summerlin South, NV
Every bathroom remodel in Summerlin South gets a written, line-item bid before work starts. No allowances left vague, no prices that shift once the tile is off the wall. Here’s what you should expect in this market:

| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500-$12,000 |

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Summerlin South
Yes, if the remodel touches exterior walls, vents, or windows. Clark County requires a building permit for plumbing, electrical, and structural work, and the Summerlin Community Association’s Architectural Review Committee requires separate design approval for anything visible from the street or any exterior penetration. We handle both submittals, and we file the ARC packet first so the review runs parallel to the permit process rather than delaying it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project needs.
Plan on two to four weeks for ARC review, depending on the committee’s meeting calendar and the complexity of the submittal. That’s actual added time, not a contractor’s buffer. We schedule around it by ordering materials, completing interior work that doesn’t require approval, and sequencing the exterior work after the ARC sign-off lands. If a revision is requested, we resubmit immediately. Call (877) 610-1318 for a timeline specific to your home.
No. Any change to window size, shape, or location requires ARC design review, and the committee enforces specific material and color guidelines for exterior frames. A larger window also changes the exterior elevation, which triggers additional review. We pull the submittal, prepare the drawings, and handle the resubmission if the committee requests changes. Don’t cut the opening until the approval is in hand. Call (877) 610-1318 before you buy the window.
Earth-tone colors and materials that match the desert-contemporary palette. Think muted browns, tans, terracotta, and neutral grays in painted metal or stucco-matched finishes. Bright white or polished chrome vent covers get bounced for revision. We keep a small set of pre-approved louver styles and finishes that have cleared the committee before, which speeds up your submittal. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you what passes.
Because of the caliche hardpan. Western Summerlin South sits on a dense calcium-carbonate shelf that runs shallow and thick under the soil. Moving a drain line means cutting through the slab and then jackhammering through caliche, which adds half a day to a full day of labor depending on depth and location. Contractors who bid on paper without walking the site miss this line-item, then surprise you with a change order. We walk every job before we bid. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that accounts for what’s actually under your floor.
Our Local Expertise Keeps Your Remodel Moving
On a stucco-over-frame home in the 89135 zip near the 215 Beltway, we replaced a garden tub with a walk-in shower and added a new exhaust vent through an exterior wall. Before cutting the rough-in, we pulled the ARC submittal packet for the vent location and louver style, then built the timeline around the committee’s review window. Our tile crew set the shower pan while the vent approval was pending, and we hit inspection sign-off without a single revision cycle. That’s the kind of sequencing you only get from a crew that knows Summerlin South’s process, whether it’s a bathroom or our Driveway & Pavers in Summerlin South. It’s not luck. It’s 29 years of doing this the right way.
