West Hollywood is not like working in Beverly Hills or the unincorporated parts of LA. The lots off Santa Monica Boulevard, along Fountain, and up toward the hills above Sunset are dense, the buildings are older than they look, and the city runs its own permitting shop with its own inspectors. That changes how a bathroom remodel gets planned, priced, and finished. Barrett & Sons has worked those conditions long enough to know what to expect before we open the first wall. We show up with a plan, we pull the right permit through the right jurisdiction, and we put every allowance and every change in writing before it touches your job.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Hollywood’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still runs it with his sons on the job site most days. When you call, you get a live person, not a voicemail box. When you sign, you get Tom’s name, address, and license number on the contract, because he wants you to look them up before any work starts.
Most of our West Hollywood work comes through referrals, the kind where a neighbor on one floor tells a neighbor on the next floor. The reason is simple: we deal with the stuff that other contractors miss. We file through West Hollywood’s own building department, not LADBS. We read the Rent Stabilization Ordinance requirements before we start, because a stop-work order mid-remodel costs more than any permit fee. And we stage materials in alleys and corridors without blocking tuck-under parking or elevator access. In a city where every square foot of common space is contested, that matters.
Every job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on the contract. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print, no thirty-minute phone tree.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in West Hollywood
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in West Hollywood usually means gutting a 1950s or 1960s bathroom down to the studs and replacing everything: plumbing, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, vanities, and lighting. On older courtyard bungalows from the 1920s and 1930s, we often find galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that have been failing quietly for decades. We replace them during rough-in rather than tiling over a problem, because opening a wall twice is a cost nobody should pay.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade in West Hollywood’s smaller bathrooms, where a cramped tub eats up floor space. A typical Bathroom Remodeling project that converts a tub alcove to a curbless walk-in with Schluter waterproofing and a Grohe fixture set runs $4,500 to $12,000. We handle the slope, the pan, the membrane, and the glass enclosure so water stays where it belongs, even on a second-floor dingbat unit where a leak means a very unhappy downstairs neighbor.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion is the fastest way to make a small West Hollywood bathroom feel larger and easier to use. We’re typically at $3,500 to $10,000 depending on the plumbing, the wall condition, and whether the original tub surround hid water damage behind the tile. In rent-controlled buildings, we do this work with the tenant’s daily routine in mind, scheduling water shut-offs around their mornings and protecting the unit’s access path with floor protection and HEPA filtration.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones are fine and the bathroom just needs a serious refresh: new vanity, new tile, new fixtures. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in West Hollywood. We carry sample lines from Sterling and Grohe, and our tile crews work with materials you can research before you buy, not mystery boxes off a van. Because most buildings here are multi-unit, we coordinate material deliveries in tight windows and never leave pallets blocking a shared driveway or trash enclosure.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Hollywood
We install and service brands with reputations you can verify, including Schluter, Sterling, and Grohe. If a valve or a cartridge fails years from now, you’re not hunting down an obscure importer. For West Hollywood customers, we’re usually ordering parts through local suppliers in and around 90069, which means a faster turnaround when something out of the ordinary is needed mid-job. We don’t stock everything on the truck, but we know exactly who has what in this market, and we plan accordingly.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in West Hollywood Homes
- Rusting galvanized supply pipes in 1950s-60s dingbat apartments. Water pressure drops without warning, and by the time you notice, the pipe is often paper-thin behind the wall. We check the supply lines during rough-in rather than guessing.
- Shared-wall waterproofing failures. In dense multi-unit buildings, a slow shower-pan leak can travel into a neighbor’s unit and turn a simple remodel into an insurance claim. We use full membrane systems and flood-test every pan before tile.
- Staging constraints on tight lots. There is rarely room for a dumpster on a West Hollywood property line. We plan debris removal, material staging, and truck parking before we start, so you don’t get a surprise change order for off-site storage.
- Permit friction from the city’s own plan-check queue. West Hollywood runs its own building department, and a permit filed through LADBS by mistake can cost weeks. We file with the right jurisdiction the first time.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in West Hollywood
Yes. West Hollywood runs its own building department and requires permits for any remodel that moves plumbing, changes the shower pan, or alters the footprint. Plan-check times run a few weeks in this city, sometimes longer during heavy summer activity. We pull the permit, we meet the inspector, and we handle the paperwork so you’re not losing an afternoon at City Hall.
The city will not stop the project simply because a tenant is in place, but it will hold you to Rent Stabilization Ordinance rules around noise, access, and habitability. That includes protected work hours and keeping a bathroom functional for the tenant if it’s their only one. We plan phasing around those rules so the project stays in compliance and on schedule. Contractors who ignore them get stop-work orders, and those are expensive.
Because decades of slow tub-wall leaks rot the subfloor under the tub, especially in 1950s and 1960s dingbat buildings with cast-iron drains and old shower pans. If the subfloor is soft, a new tub will shift, crack the seal, and leak again. We check it during demo and replace rotted framing before any new tub or shower pan goes in.
Usually yes. The shower valve and waterproofing work we do is in wet areas, and knob-and-tube wiring in the wall behind the vanity or the medicine cabinet can stay untouched if it’s not in our scope. That said, if the wiring is brittle or sitting where the new plumbing wall goes, the inspector may flag it. We’ll tell you before we start whether that risk is real in your unit.
Floor protection on the corridor, HEPA filtration running during any demo, sealed doorways, and daily debris removal. We stage materials in the alley or in pre-approved spots, and we clean the shared path before the crew leaves every day. In a building where five units share one hallway, that discipline is what keeps neighbors from calling the city mid-project.
