AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Sunrise Manor
A full bathroom remodel in Sunrise Manor typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the two factors that swing that number most are the age of your supply lines and what’s hiding inside those CMU block walls. If you live in the 89115 ZIP, you’re dealing with something most Las Vegas Valley contractors don’t plan for: Clark County unincorporated code requirements and caliche hardpan that turns a simple vanity swap into a two-day excavation. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been working these specific blocks since before most national outfits had a Nevada address. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your bathroom with you before we quote a single number.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sunrise Manor’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett put his name on this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Sunrise Manor. That’s not marketing language. When a homeowner near Hollywood Boulevard and Carey Avenue calls about a tub-to-shower conversion, Tom or one of his sons is on-site for the rough-in walkthrough, not a project manager dialing in from another state. The last thing a Sunrise Manor homeowner needs is a contractor who learns Clark County code on your dime.
Sunrise Manor sits in unincorporated Clark County. That means every permit, every inspection, every code enforcement action runs through the Clark County Building Department, not the City of Las Vegas. We’ve pulled enough permits in 89115 to know exactly what county inspectors flag, how they want the rough-in documented, and what triggers a re-inspection. Contractors who assume Las Vegas municipal rules apply file the wrong paperwork and your project stalls at first inspection. We don’t make that mistake.
Our reputation in Sunrise Manor comes from showing up when we say we will and putting every price change in writing before work moves. Read that again: every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every surprise we find in your walls becomes a written change order you sign before we touch it. Homeowners in this ZIP have been burned by phone-quote-then-door-invoice games. We don’t play them. Ask anyone on your street, or look up Tom Barrett’s license number yourself.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Sunrise Manor
We’re a full Bathroom Remodeling operation serving Sunrise Manor, but three jobs dominate what we do in this specific ZIP: tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in shower installations, and small bathroom remodels squeezed out of those 1950s and 1960s CMU ranch homes. Here’s what each looks like in a Sunrise Manor house.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in Sunrise Manor means opening walls that haven’t been touched in sixty years. We plan for corroded galvanized supply lines, rotted subfloor around the original tub, and CMU block that fights every anchor we sink. The $9,000 to $28,000 range for a full remodel in this ZIP reflects what we consistently find: county inspection requirements, caliche-hardened walls, and the occasional unpermitted addition tacked onto the back of the original floor plan.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Sunrise Manor runs $4,500 to $12,000, with the spread driven by whether we’re re-sleeving existing drains or cutting new waste lines through caliche. The hardpan in 89115 sits 12 to 18 inches below grade. When we need to move a drain for a curbless shower, that’s a jackhammer and a half-day minimum, not a drill-and-go. We scope that cost before we quote, so you see it on paper, not in a surprise invoice.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a 1950s tub to a walk-in shower is the single most common job we do in Sunrise Manor. These original cast-iron or steel tubs are heavy, rusted at the drain collar, and often plumbed with galvanized supply lines that snap when we go to sweat the new valve in. Budget $3,500 to $10,000 depending on valve relocation, floor repair, and what the Clark County inspector wants to see on the rough-in.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in Sunrise Manor, but the hidden cost in these block homes is anchoring. CMU walls don’t take a standard toggle bolt well, especially after forty years of settling on caliche. We use wedge anchors and epoxy-set fasteners rated for block, and we check for the re-tile line before we hang anything heavy. A vanity that pulls out of the wall isn’t a warranty claim we ever want to litigate.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Those compact three-quarter baths common in 89115 ranches, the ones with the shower stall jammed next to a 24-inch vanity, those are $5,000 to $12,000 depending on what we find behind the tile. Small doesn’t mean cheap when the original shower pan was set directly onto a slab that’s now spalling from forty years of hard Colorado River water running through corroded supply elbows. We quote what we can see and write change orders for what we can’t.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise Manor
When we install Simonton, Ply Gem, or PGT products in a Sunrise Manor bathroom, we’re putting in materials you can look up before you sign. A frosted PGT window in a shower wall that faces the afternoon sun, a Simonton slider above a garden tub facing east of Nellis Boulevard, those are real names with documented specs, not mystery brands off a van. We keep common replacement glass and hardware for these lines in our Las Vegas stock, which means a cracked shower enclosure in 89115 doesn’t wait three weeks on a freight truck.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sunrise Manor Homes
Every ZIP has its own failure patterns. In 89115, here’s what we consistently find when we open a bathroom wall:
- Corroded galvanized supply lines. Homes built between the 1950s and early 1980s in Sunrise Manor often still run original galvanized pipe. By now it’s choked with mineral scale from hard water, and the threads rust through at the first turn. A bathroom remodel becomes a re-plumb whether you planned it or not.
- Caliche-hardened CMU walls. That rock-hard calcium carbonate layer sits shallow across much of 89115, and the block walls above it shift as the soil expands and contracts through extreme summer heat. Anchoring vanities, grab bars, and shower enclosures means drilling into block that’s moved, sometimes a half-inch off where it was set sixty years ago.
- Unpermitted additions tied into bathroom plumbing. More than a few Sunrise Manor casitas and carport conversions were plumbed by someone who didn’t want to talk to the county. When we go to move a drain or add a shower, we find waste lines tapped into an addition that never had a permit. That has to go through Clark County before your bathroom passes final inspection.
- Subfloor rot hidden under original tile. The original mud-set tile in these ranch homes was set thick, and it hides water damage for decades. By the time we pull it up, the subfloor around the tub or shower needs sections replaced. On a slab foundation, that means grinding, patching, and sometimes re-sloping the drain bed.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Sunrise Manor, NV
Here’s what you should expect to pay for bathroom work in Sunrise Manor right now. These aren’t national averages, they’re what we see in 89115 with caliche, county inspections, and sixty-year-old plumbing factored in:
| Service | Sunrise Manor Price Range |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 - $10,000 |
| Bathroom Vanity Installation | $800 - $3,000 |
The single biggest variable in Sunrise Manor isn’t tile selection or vanity brand. It’s what we find when we open the wall: corroded supply lines that need re-sleeving, caliche that turns a drain move into a jackhammer job, or an unpermitted addition that has to clear Clark County before your bathroom can. We quote what we can see and write change orders for what we can’t, before work proceeds. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. You’ll get a written line-item scope, not a handshake and a hope.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Sunrise Manor
Replacing a vanity and tile without moving plumbing or electrical typically does not require a Clark County permit in Sunrise Manor. But the moment you move a drain, relocate a supply line, add a circuit, or change the shower valve configuration, County inspectors want to see it. We pull permits on every eligible job because the permit inspector works for you, not for us. If a contractor tells you permits are optional in 89115, get that in writing and then call the Clark County Building Department yourself. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you over the phone whether your specific scope triggers a permit.
Most Sunrise Manor bathroom remodels stall at inspection because the contractor filed Las Vegas city paperwork instead of Clark County unincorporated paperwork. 89115 is not the City of Las Vegas. The county has its own inspectors, its own rough-in checkpoints, and its own rules about unpermitted additions. We scope the county path before we quote, not after we fail. If you’re mid-project and stuck on a county inspection, call us. Our free second opinion covers written estimates, and we’ll tell you what Clark County wants to see in plain English.
Caliche adds real money when we have to move a drain, set a floor patch, or excavate for a new waste line. That calcium carbonate layer sits 12 to 18 inches below grade across much of Sunrise Manor, and it destroys standard auger bits. A drain move that takes two hours in soft soil takes a full day in caliche, with jackhammer work and carbide tooling. We write that cost into your estimate before we quote, because a contractor who has never dug in east-valley soil will underbid it and then hand you a change order you never saw coming. Ask for the caliche line item in writing. We always include it.
Yes, in most Sunrise Manor ranch homes you can convert a tub to a walk-in shower without relocating the drain, provided the existing tub drain is in good enough shape to reuse. We sleeve the original waste line, set the shower pan slope within the old tub footprint, and the Clark County inspector signs off on the rough-in. If the original drain is corroded or the trap has failed, then we’re cutting into caliche and the job gets more involved. That’s a $3,500 to $10,000 range depending on what the waste line looks like once we expose it. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your bathroom.
Sunrise Manor bathrooms deal with the same hard water and summer heat as the rest of the valley, but the difference comes from the slab and the sealing demands of those block walls. In 89115, we see moisture wicking up through older slabs that were never properly sealed, which is why we always recommend a full waterproof membrane under tile, not just a cement backer board. And because summer temperatures regularly exceed 110°F, setting materials flash-cure if you don’t control the work window. We schedule tile work in the early morning hours and use admixes rated for high-heat cure. That’s not a sales pitch, it’s what keeps your grout from cracking in August.
What Sunrise Manor Homeowners Need to Know Before Starting
Before you sign any bathroom remodel contract in Sunrise Manor, there are three things you should have in writing: the Clark County permit plan, the caliche excavation allowance, and the change order clause for unpermitted additions. We’ve scoped full remodels near the 89115 corridor where the original tub drain had been tapped into an old unpermitted addition, and the homeowner didn’t know until we pulled the floor. In that case, our crew cut through caliche to re-route the waste line, re-framed a load-bearing wall a previous owner had notched for plumbing, and walked the homeowner through county permit and inspection sign-off before any tile went up. That’s what we mean when we say every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
