AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Woodland Hills
A full bathroom remodel in Woodland Hills typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000, with small bathroom remodels landing closer to $5,000 to $12,000. Most of the jobs we take on in the 91364 and 91367 zip codes involve homes built in the 1950s through 1970s, which means cast-iron plumbing, original stucco walls, and layouts that stopped making sense about thirty years ago. If you’re on a street climbing toward Mulholland Drive or tucked into a tract off Ventura Boulevard, we know exactly what’s behind those walls before we open them up. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come take a look.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Woodland Hills’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 Woodland Hills. We’re not sending strangers to your house. The crew members who carry our name are background-checked and uniformed on every visit, and Tom is on-site most days. He lives close enough that if something isn’t right, he’ll hear about it from you at the hardware store long before you have to chase him down.
Woodland Hills sits in Los Angeles’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and that changes how we frame, insulate, and vent every bathroom we touch. When a remodel permit gets pulled here, the building code triggers requirements that don’t exist a few miles east in Van Nuys, including ignition-resistant wall assemblies and ember-resistant vents. We’ve been through enough LA Building & Safety inspections in Woodland Hills to know what the inspector will flag before he walks through the door. That’s why we pull permits on every eligible job and get the inspection signed before we call it done. You can look up our license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and that number, and he’ll tell you to check it before you sign anything.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Woodland Hills
We handle the full scope of Bathroom Remodeling work in Woodland Hills, from the first gut-out to the last piece of trim. Here’s what that looks like on the ground.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel means we take the room down to the studs and rebuild it. In Woodland Hills, that usually starts with addressing whatever moisture found its way into those original 1960s wood-frame walls, then reframing to current code. We handle the plumbing, the electrical, the tile, the vanity, the shower, and every finish in between. The result is a bathroom that looks like it belongs in this decade, not the one that built it.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade we see in Woodland Hills, especially from homeowners in the 50-to-70 age range who want a curbless entry and a built-in bench. We frame the shower to handle the thermal expansion that comes with Woodland Hills heat, then install the pan, the waterproofing, and the tile so it drains properly on the first try. A walk-in shower installation here typically runs $4,500 to $12,000.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
That original cast-iron tub sitting in a 1958 ranch on a hillside lot off Topanga Canyon Boulevard is heavy, worn, and usually not worth refinishing. We convert tubs to showers every month in Woodland Hills, pulling the old tub out carefully so we don’t crack the original slab underneath. Most conversions take about a week, and the price lands between $3,500 and $10,000 depending on tile and glass selections.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Some Woodland Hills bathrooms don’t need a full gut. If the layout works but the vanity is water-swollen and the tile is original to the house, we replace those components without tearing apart walls that don’t need it. Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000, and we’ll help you pick materials that hold up to the heat and humidity swings that come with living in a valley bowl.

Trusted Brands We Service in Woodland Hills
We install brands you can look up and verify, not mystery materials off a van. For Woodland Hills bathroom remodels, we regularly work with KraftMaid and Cambria, and for exterior work tied to those remodels, we use GAF and CertainTeed on roofs. If your bathroom remodel expands into the backyard, we also carry Techo-Bloc and Belgard for hardscapes. Because we work with local distributors serving Woodland Hills, we can usually get specific tile, fixture, and vanity orders turned around faster than a contractor who’s ordering from out of state.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Woodland Hills Homes
Every city has its own set of recurring problems. Here’s what we run into most often in Woodland Hills.
- Original cast-iron plumbing nearing the end of its life. Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s across the valley floor still have galvanized and cast-iron drain lines. By the time you see a slow drain or a stain on the ceiling below, the pipe is usually gone. We budget for replacement plumbing on nearly every full remodel here.
- Moisture damage hidden behind original stucco and tile. The combination of Woodland Hills heat and older construction methods means grout cracks, vapor barriers fail, and water ends up inside walls that were never built to dry out properly. We find and fix the source of the water, not just the damage it left behind.
- Hillside foundations that have shifted over decades. On streets climbing toward Mulholland Drive, bathroom floors are rarely level anymore. Expansive clay soils move under slab foundations. We correct what we can during the remodel and design the new bathroom so it absorbs that movement without cracking tile or pulling apart shower pans.
- Outdated exhaust ventilation that can’t handle modern showers. A lot of original Woodland Hills bathrooms vent into the attic or not at all. We replace those with properly exhausted fans rated for the room’s size, because trapping steam in a sealed-up 1960s house is how you get mold inside walls you’ll never see until it’s too late.

A standard full bathroom remodel in Woodland Hills runs $9,000 to $28,000. A smaller bathroom remodel in a 91365 tract home usually lands between $5,000 and $12,000.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Woodland Hills
Most Woodland Hills bathroom remodels start within two to four weeks of the estimate being signed, depending on the scope and whether permits need to be filed with LA Building & Safety, which they usually do. We’ll give you a written start date in the contract, not a phone call estimate. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get the estimate scheduled so we can lock in your dates.
Yes. We work in 91364, 91365, 91367, and 91371, including the hillside streets off Mulholland Drive and the tract neighborhoods south of Ventura Boulevard. Hillside lots sometimes require a geotechnical soils report before a permit gets approved, which is something we know to look for from the start. Call (877) 610-1318 and tell us your cross streets; we’ll confirm we cover your exact block when we schedule the estimate.
A full bathroom remodel in Woodland Hills runs $9,000 to $28,000, which is generally in line with Calabasas and the rest of the west valley but can run higher on hillside streets where access is tight and foundations need more attention. The single biggest cost driver is the age of the original plumbing and framing in these 1950s-to-1970s homes. For an exact price on your bathroom, call (877) 610-1318; the estimate is free and we’ll give you line-item numbers before you decide anything.
Yes. We pull permits on every eligible bathroom remodel and get the final inspection signed before we hand the room back to you. In Woodland Hills, that matters even more than most places because the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone triggers Chapter 7A requirements on substantial remodels, including ignition-resistant wall assemblies and ember-resistant vents. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’ve got a bathroom that was remodeled without permits and you want to know what it’ll take to get it right.
Every bathroom remodel we complete in Woodland Hills is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. That’s on every contract, not buried in fine print. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate and we’ll show you the promise in writing before you sign anything.
