AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Sun Valley
Bathroom remodeling in Sun Valley typically costs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full renovation, with smaller projects like tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000. We work in the 89433 zip code every week, and because Sun Valley is unincorporated Washoe County, every permit routes through the county building division rather than a city hall, and we handle that paperwork end to end. If you’re weighing a remodel and want someone who actually knows how Sun Valley homes are built, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. The crews are his sons and their teams, the name is on the truck, and the price you’re quoted is the price on the contract. If something changes, you’ll get it in writing before work starts. That matters in Sun Valley, NV, where a lot of folks have been stung by outfits that quote low and bill high.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sun Valley’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Sun Valley’s housing stock is different from anything you’ll find across the hill in Reno. This is one of the largest concentrations of manufactured and HUD-code homes in the northern Nevada metro, and a bathroom remodel in a double-wide doesn’t work like a bathroom remodel in a stick-built tract house. Wall framing is different, plumbing chases are tighter, and the way floors tie into the chassis dictates what you can and can’t move. We’ve been inside enough of these homes to know where the surprises hide, and we bid accordingly, with allowances in writing so you never get a mystery bill.
Our Sun Valley customers call us for the same reasons their neighbors do: a live person picks up the phone, the quote doesn’t change unless you sign a change order, and Tom’s name and license number are published so you can verify him before you sign anything. We don’t ask you to take our word for it. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
For Bathroom Remodeling work anywhere in the 89433, we schedule around Washoe County inspection timelines, not a city hall calendar. Contractors who mostly work Reno or Sparks sometimes get tripped up on county submittal requirements, especially for anything involving HUD-code structures. We don’t, because we file with the county all the time.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Sun Valley
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in a Sun Valley home, whether it’s a manufactured unit or a 1970s tract house, runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on what you’re moving and what you’re keeping. We handle the demo, the rough-in, the county permit, and the finish work with the same crew from day one. No subcontractor roulette.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Sun Valley typically runs $4,500 to $12,000. The high-desert hard water here means we pay extra attention to valve placement and access panels, because you don’t want to tear out tile to reach a cartridge that gave out because of mineral buildup.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in Sun Valley costs $3,500 to $10,000 on average. In manufactured homes especially, this is one of the most popular upgrades we do, because the original tub surrounds from the 1970s and 80s are often cracked, mildewed, or just plain tired. The weight reduction is a real benefit on older floor systems too.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Sun Valley runs $800 to $3,000, and we’ll work with whatever you pick, from big-box stock to semi-custom. Tile and fixture work gets quoted as part of the written scope, so you know the per-square-foot rate before the thinset ever gets mixed. No allowances that quietly disappear.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sun Valley
We install and stand behind fixtures and materials from brands you can look up before you sign: Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT all make the list on a regular basis for Sun Valley jobs. We’d rather install a name you can research than something off a van you’ve never heard of, and if a part fails during the 90-Day Done Right Promise window, one call brings Tom back. That’s written into the contract, not buried in fine print.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sun Valley Homes
- Frost-heaved subfloors and cracked slabs. Sitting at roughly 4,500 feet, Sun Valley gets hard freeze-thaw cycles every winter. Shallow footings shift, slabs crack, and we regularly find bathroom floors that have moved enough to pop tile or crack grout. The fix usually involves more than just re-tiling.
- Manufactured-home plumbing chases too tight for modern fixtures. In older HUD-code homes, the walls around tubs and vanities often lack the depth for standard P-traps and shower valves. We plan the rough-in around the chassis, not the other way around.
- UV-blasted caulk and failing shower surrounds. Near-zero humidity and intense summer sun in the high desert ages caulks and vinyl surrounds faster than you’d expect. What looks like a small re-caulk job often reveals water damage behind the walls once we open it up.
- Wind-driven dust working into bath exhaust fans. The Washoe Zephyr winds push fine dust into everything, including bathroom vents. We see motors seize early and ducting clog with grit in Sun Valley homes, which shortens the life of a remodel if it isn’t addressed during the job.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Sun Valley, NV
Here are the ranges we quote in the 89433, and they hold from estimate to final invoice unless you change the scope:
- Full bathroom remodel: $9,000-$28,000

What moves the number is whether you’re moving plumbing, whether the floor needs structural work after years of freeze-thaw movement, and whether we’re working inside a manufactured home, which sometimes requires a different framing approach. You’ll get a written, line-item quote before any work begins, and every change order gets signed before it happens. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate. We also offer a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount and $40 off any repair over $200.

In Sun Valley, a full bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, which is right in line with the rest of Washoe County. The bigger variable isn’t the city line; it’s whether you’re in a manufactured home or a stick-built house, because HUD-code structures sometimes require additional framing work to pass county inspection. Get an exact number by calling (877) 610-1318 for a free written quote.
Yes, every eligible job has permits pulled through Washoe County and inspections signed. Some contractors tell people permits are optional, but in an unincorporated area like Sun Valley, skipping county permits can come back on you when you sell the house. The inspector works for you, not for us, and we welcome the scrutiny. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll talk through what your remodel requires.
