Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Century City’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we work in The Century, Park Place, or The Carlyle, we know the building staff by name and the committee’s material preferences before we set foot in the elevator. That matters in Century City, where a bathroom remodel isn’t just a construction job. It’s an HOA process with paperwork, scheduling windows, and a committee that expects to see the tile color before we order it.
Our Century City customers tell us the same thing: they had a contractor who quoted one number, then handed them a different bill when the elevator reservation fell through or the committee kicked back the glass spec. We put every allowance and every scope change in writing before a nail moves. If something’s not right, Tom comes back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s on every contract.
Calls are answered by a live person, day or night. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Century City
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in a Century City high-rise means framing, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, glass, and often moving plumbing inside concrete-and-steel party walls. We handle the architectural review submittal, the freight elevator reservations, and the dust containment so your neighbors never see a mess in the shared corridor. Typical full bathroom remodels in Century City run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on materials and whether you’re changing the footprint.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Century City runs $4,500 to $12,000. In a concrete high-rise, proper shower pan waterproofing is everything. We use Schluter membranes under tile and specify shower pans that meet the building’s sound-transmission requirements, so the unit below you doesn’t hear every drop hitting the floor. The committee will usually want to see the glass thickness and tile color before sign-off, so we submit early and order materials once we have the approval in writing.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Most Century City condos were built with dated 1970s tubs that eat floor space and don’t fit the way people live now. A tub-to-shower conversion here runs $3,500 to $10,000, and it’s one of the most common jobs we do in 90067. The catch: your HOA will almost certainly require architectural approval and a permit before we remove the tub. We file both. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Century City runs $800 to $3,000, and we carry premium lines like Grohe and Sterling so you’re not stuck with mystery-brand fixtures off a van. Tile selection in a high-rise matters more than in a single-family home. The committee will ask about grout color, tile thickness, and edge profile. We help you choose materials that look good and actually get approved, so you’re not redoing a submittal twice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Century City
We install and stand behind materials you can look up. Schluter for waterproofing and shower systems, Grohe for fixtures, Sterling for tubs and shower bases. We don’t stock generic van parts. When a Century City customer needs a replacement valve or a specific glass hinge, we order it through our local supply lines and have it on the freight elevator within days, not weeks. Named brands, written on the contract, so you know exactly what’s going into your bathroom.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Century City Homes
- Starting demo without HOA architectural approval. The committee stops work mid-rough-in, and suddenly your frameless glass enclosure sits uninstalled for weeks while you wait on a vote. We file the submittal packet before we book the elevator.
- Missed freight elevator reservations. In buildings like The Century on Avenue of the Stars, you get a two-hour slot or you don’t move material that day. A crew that doesn’t work high-rises will burn your schedule and your patience.
- Sound transmission through the concrete floor. Tile over a concrete subfloor can transmit noise to the unit below. We use acoustic underlayment and isolation detailing the committee expects, so you don’t end up in a punch-list dispute with your downstairs neighbor.
- Unsealed corridor dust barriers. Shared corridors in Century City towers are spotless. If your contractor doesn’t seal the unit door and run negative air, you’ll get a building fine and a complaint from the HOA before the first tile goes down.

Century City’s Architectural Review Reality: What Actually Happens
Unlike neighboring Beverly Hills or Westwood, Century City’s residential stock is almost entirely luxury high-rise condominiums governed by strict building-management rules, elevator booking systems, and concrete-and-steel party walls. A bathroom remodel here routinely requires HOA-approved scope of work, scheduled freight elevator access, and sound-isolation detailing that single-family contractors never face. If you’ve never remodeled in a tower, the process can feel like a second job. It’s why we handle all of it.
At The Century on Avenue of the Stars, we converted a dated 1970s tub into a walk-in shower with a frameless glass enclosure. Before we could rough in the new valve, we had to submit a submittal packet to the building’s architectural review committee showing tile color, glass thickness, and the shower pan membrane. The HOA’s approved work window was 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and every load of cement board had to ride the freight elevator on a reserved two-hour slot. We sequenced the draw schedule so demolition, waterproofing, and inspection sign-off happened before the committee’s final walkthrough. No half-finished stall left waiting on a vote.
That’s the difference between a contractor who works in Century City and one who just works nearby. We plan around the approval calendar, not against it. The result is a bathroom that doesn’t sit half-finished while you wait for a committee meeting.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Century City
Yes, they can and do. Committees in Century City high-rises routinely reject glass thickness, tile color, grout selection, and shower pan membrane types. The fix is submitting a complete packet before you order materials, which we do on every bathroom remodel here. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your building’s committee typically asks for.
We reserve freight elevator slots in writing before demo begins, and we coordinate with your building’s management office so every material delivery lands inside the approved window. In most Century City towers, that means two-hour reserved slots, often booked days ahead. Missed slots are the single biggest schedule killer in a high-rise remodel. We don’t miss them. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your building’s specific elevator calendar.
Almost certainly yes. Most Century City buildings require both a city permit and architectural committee approval before you change plumbing drainage or remove a tub. We pull the permit and file the submittal ourselves, because the last contractor most customers used told them permits were optional. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll confirm what your building requires.
Plan on two to four weeks for architectural review in a Century City high-rise, depending on the committee’s meeting calendar. We submit early and sequence the job so we’re doing useful prep work while the committee reviews, not tearing out your shower and leaving it open. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic schedule for your building.
We use acoustic underlayment and sound-isolation detailing under the new shower pan and tile, which is what most Century City HOA sound policies require. Over a concrete-and-steel subfloor, an unisolated shower will transmit impact noise to the unit below and trigger a complaint. It’s a standard part of how we build showers here. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re planning a walk-in shower in a Century City condo.
