AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across West Hollywood
A full bathroom remodel in West Hollywood typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathrooms and tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $12,000. Most jobs take two to four weeks depending on permit timing through the city’s own building department. If you live in a 1950s dingbat off Santa Monica Boulevard or a 1920s courtyard bungalow near the hills, we know exactly what your walls, floors, and paperwork are going to throw at us. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the space before we quote a single number.
West Hollywood is not Los Angeles. Not for permits, not for parking, not for how a crew works on a tight lot with rent-controlled neighbors on the other side of a shared wall. We’ve been running crews here long enough to know the plan-check queue, the inspector’s preferences, and what the Rent Stabilization Ordinance means for a bathroom that shares a wall with a tenant who isn’t going anywhere. That knowledge changes the quote, the schedule, and the outcome. Our Bathroom Remodeling team treats West Hollywood as its own market, because it is one.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Hollywood’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and put his name on the truck. His sons run crews. That’s not a slogan, it’s how we answer the phone when you call. For West Hollywood homeowners and building owners, that matters more than a flashy estimate from a crew nobody recognizes. Our name, address, and license number are published. Look us up before you sign anything. We’d rather you know who you’re hiring than find out after demolition starts.
West Hollywood jobs come with constraints most remodelers don’t see until the stop-work order arrives. The city runs its own permitting universe: its own plan-check queue, its own inspectors, its own tenant-habitability rules under the RSO. We’ve worked inside that system for years. A contractor who pulls permits through LADBS every day will quote you a schedule that doesn’t hold in WeHo, because the city doesn’t work on LADBS turnaround times. Our quotes account for the actual queue, not the one a contractor wishes existed.
We show up when we say we will. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and small enough to stage materials in a tuck-under parking bay without blocking a neighbor’s car. Tom lives close enough to drive to West Hollywood and stand in your bathroom when something’s not right. That’s the West Hollywood difference, and it’s why we get called back for second and third projects from the same buildings.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in West Hollywood
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
The most common request we get in West Hollywood’s older apartment stock. The 1950s and 60s dingbats off Santa Monica Boulevard were built with cast-iron tubs and galvanized plumbing that’s past its useful life. A tub-to-shower conversion in West Hollywood usually runs $3,500 to $10,000, and we pull the permit, replace the drain line, and set the new pan and walls so the inspector signs off the first time. In rent-controlled buildings, we schedule the work around tenant occupancy and the city’s habitability requirements.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Most bathrooms in West Hollywood bungalows are five by seven feet. That’s tight, and it’s why we plan every fixture location before we open a wall. Small bathroom remodels here run $5,000 to $12,000, and the real cost driver is access: if we can’t stage a dumpster or a material stack on-site, the quote reflects it. We’ll tell you that before you sign, not after the first change order.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in showers in West Hollywood cost $4,500 to $12,000, and the single biggest variable is whether your floor joists or slab can handle the new drain location without a soils check. On the northern hillside lots, expansive clay shrinks in the dry months and heaves when winter rains return, so we won’t cut a slab without understanding what’s under it. We install Schluter waterproofing systems on nearly every walk-in we build here, because moisture in a shared-wall bathroom isn’t just a tile issue, it’s a neighbor’s drywall issue.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities, tile, and fixtures the way we’d want them in our own homes, which means level, sealed, and code-compliant. A bathroom vanity installation in West Hollywood runs $800 to $3,000, and the tile work depends on substrate condition. If your building still has original mud-set tile from the 1950s, that’s a demolition factor we price honestly. We stock common replacement parts locally, so a Grohe fixture doesn’t sit unfixed for a week waiting on a parts van from somewhere else.

We keep common parts on hand locally so a warranty repair or a trim replacement doesn’t stall for a week. We don’t install mystery materials off a van. Every brand we carry is one you can look up, price-check, and verify. That’s the point of using named, warrantied products in a building where someone else lives on the other side of the wall.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in West Hollywood Homes
- Assuming LADBS rules apply. West Hollywood has its own building department, plan-check queue, and inspectors. A remodel scheduled around LA turnaround times stalls, and the contractor suddenly has an empty bathroom and an angry owner. We quote WeHo permits based on WeHo’s actual queue.
- Ignoring party-wall notice and RSO rules. In a multi-unit dingbat, opening a shared wall without proper notice or work-hour compliance triggers stop-work orders and tenant complaints. We handle RSO notice periods from day one, and the inspection sign-off comes after the required tenant-habitability process is satisfied.
- Underestimating soils movement on the northern hillside lots. Expansive clay shrinks from May through September and heaves when winter rains return. A bathroom floor or slab change without a soils check can crack tiles and push the punch list months out. We won’t skip it.
- Staging in constrained parking. West Hollywood’s tuck-under parking and narrow courtyard access mean we can’t roll up with a box truck and spread out. We plan the staging before we plan the demo. That conversation happens before we sign a contract, because it affects your bottom line.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in West Hollywood
Yes, and the city of West Hollywood has its own permit process, not LADBS. Over 50 years old just makes the plan review more thorough. We pull every eligible permit and schedule around WeHo’s actual plan-check queue, not Los Angeles’s. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want us to check your address against city requirements before you plan a start date.
If your building has RSO-protected residents, the city requires notice periods and habitability standards during construction. We work within those rules, which means we schedule noisy work for allowed hours and coordinate with tenants on water shutoffs. The permit inspector signs off only after those requirements are satisfied. It adds time, but a contractor who ignores the RSO is signing up for a stop-work order. We don’t.
No, and we won’t try. In a multi-unit dingbat or courtyard complex, a shared wall means the person on the other side is affected by vibration, dust, and water shutoffs. We notify neighbors before we open the wall, and work-hour compliance keeps the job moving without complaints. Skipping that step is how remodels get halted.
Because on a tight West Hollywood lot, a dumpster, a material stack, and a tile saw all need a place to live for two to four weeks. If you have tuck-under parking or a courtyard we can use, the logistics are simpler and the price reflects it. If we have to shuttle materials from off-site or rent a loading zone, that’s a real cost we put on the quote up front, not in a surprise invoice later.
It depends on the scope. Replacing a tub with a shower in the same footprint typically does not trigger structural review, but any drain relocation, slab cutting, or wall modification may. We submit the plans with the actual scope and let the city’s plan check tell us. We’d rather find out before we demo than after. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific conversion will require.
