AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Sunnyslope
A full bathroom remodel in Sunnyslope typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathrooms and tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $12,000. The number moves depending on whether you’re touching the slab, relocating a drain on a hillside lot, or replacing builder-grade fixtures in a newer tract home off Jurupa Road. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been doing this since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer on cost and timeline before you commit to anything.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sunnyslope’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re the name-on-the-truck crew, not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews today, which means the people who show up in Sunnyslope are the same people whose name is on the contract. When you call, a live person answers. Every change order arrives in writing before a nail moves. We publish our license number, our address, and Tom’s name, so you can look us up before you sign anything.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team knows what hillside lots in ZIP 92509 throw at a project. We’ve worked in the Sunnyslope Knolls tract, around Jurupa Road, and through the newer infill developments where HOAs set tight architectural rules. Homeowners here don’t need a contractor who guesses. They need someone who has already pulled permits in Riverside County and knows what the inspector will flag before the inspection happens.
Every job gets permits pulled and inspections signed, and every finished bathroom carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That’s the promise, written on every contract.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Sunnyslope
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Sunnyslope means taking everything down to the studs and rebuilding it right. Older 1950s and 1960s ranch homes along the Jurupa Hills often hide drywall rot behind fiberglass surrounds and plumbing that hasn’t been touched in decades. We handle the whole scope: demo, rough plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish work. Written change orders cover every allowance so the final number on your invoice matches what you approved.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Sunnyslope runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, tile, and whether we’re working around a post-tension slab. We use Schluter membrane systems for waterproofing because the expansive clay under Sunnyslope’s slab foundations shifts with moisture swings, and a rigid shower pan will crack when the ground moves. Curbless designs are popular with the 50-plus homeowners here, but they need proper drain depth, which not every builder rough-in allows.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Replacing a builder-grade fiberglass tub with a walk-in shower is the single most common upgrade we do in newer Sunnyslope tract homes. Cost runs $3,500 to $10,000. The catch on these jobs is what’s behind the wall. If the original tub rough-in sits shallow in the slab, we need to re-route the drain line, and on a hillside lot that can bump against Riverside County’s grading threshold. We check that before you spend a dollar on tile.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Sunnyslope costs between $800 and $3,000. Tile and fixture work is priced by square foot and selection. We carry Grohe and Sterling fixtures, and we’ll give you a written line-item breakdown so you know exactly what the materials cost versus the labor. No mystery brands off a van. If you can look up the model number online, you know what you’re paying for.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunnyslope
We install brands you can verify: Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling tubs and shower bases, Grohe faucets and valves, and GAF underlayment products where moisture management matters. When something needs a warranty part, we handle it locally rather than sending you to a call center. Having the right materials in the truck matters on Sunnyslope hillside jobs where you don’t want to re-open a wall because the wrong flange was sitting in a warehouse in Ontario.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sunnyslope Homes
- Cracked shower pans on slab foundations: The expansive clay under Sunnyslope’s 1950s through 1970s ranch homes swells and shrinks with rain and drought cycles. Rigid mortar-bed shower pans crack when the slab shifts. We set Schluter membranes that flex with the movement instead of fighting it.
- Builder-grade finishes failing at the 15 to 20 year mark: The 2005 to 2008 tract homes around the Sunnyslope Knolls used fiberglass tub surrounds and particleboard vanities that weren’t built for daily humidity. Homeowners usually replace these first.
- HOA architectural review surprises: Newer master-planned sections of ZIP 92509 require board pre-approval for any window or vent alteration. Starting without that sign-off can bring a stop-work order and fines. We handle the submittal paperwork.
- Shallow drain rough-ins on post-tension slabs: Builders set tub and shower drains as shallow as code allows. When you want a true walk-in or curbless shower, that rough-in often needs re-routing, which is where the grading threshold on hillside lots comes into play.

What moves the number: whether you’re on a hillside lot that triggers the county’s 50-cubic-yard grading threshold, the age of your home’s slab, and whether you want custom tile work or stock materials. In Sunnyslope, older homes with shifted slabs cost more to remodel than newer infill builds because we’re often correcting plumbing rough-ins that worked fine in 1962 but don’t meet today’s drainage code. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We’ll give you the real number, in writing, before any work starts.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Sunnyslope
You need a grading permit if the remodel moves a drain line or adds a window and the cut or fill exceeds 50 cubic yards on a slope. Small remodels that stay within the existing footprint and don’t touch drain rough-ins on the exterior side usually avoid the trigger. But in Sunnyslope’s hillside ZIP 92509, the threshold is easier to hit than homeowners expect, and it adds a soils report and engineered plan check to the budget. We assess this before quoting anything. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you whether your specific lot is affected.
Yes, as long as the work is done by a licensed contractor with a permit. Newer Sunnyslope homes often carry 10-year structural warranties that die the moment unpermitted plumbing or waterproofing changes open up behind the walls. We pull the permit, get inspection sign-off on the subfloor before tiling, and keep the warranty intact. If your drain rough-in needs re-routing, we work within the same joist bay to avoid triggering a grading permit. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through your home’s specific situation.
A full bathroom remodel in Sunnyslope runs $9,000 to $28,000. The low end is a standard 5×8 with a tub-to-shower conversion and no drain relocation. The high end is a hillside primary bath where we’re moving a vanity, adding a window, and triggering county plan check with soils engineering. The clay soil doesn’t just affect the slab; it affects the waterproofing system you should use and whether the existing drain rough-in can stay where it sits. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with real numbers, not a range that hides the hard costs.
Expansive clay under Sunnyslope’s slab foundations shifts with moisture, which means any rigid connection between new drain lines and old rough-ins will fail over time. We use flexible couplings and Schluter membrane waterproofing because they move with the slab rather than cracking against it. On hillside lots, moving a drain to an exterior wall is where the grading threshold starts to matter. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll assess the slab conditions before you commit to a design.
Upgrade the shower first, because that’s where leaks do structural damage. A cracked fiberglass tub surround in a 2008 track home off Jurupa Road is the most common failure point we see in Sunnyslope, and it only gets worse as the slab moves. Do the vanity second, since builder particleboard swells under bathroom humidity. Flooring is the lowest priority unless water has already reached the subfloor, in which case you’ll want a full remodel anyway, which in this ZIP runs $9,000 to $28,000. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you what we’d fix first in your specific home.
