AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Encino
Bathroom remodeling in Encino typically costs between $9,000 and $28,000, with small bathroom remodels starting around $5,000 and walk-in shower installations running $4,500 to $12,000. Most full remodels here take two to five weeks depending on whether we’re working on a 1950s ranch off Hayvenhurst or a newer build near the Ventura Boulevard corridor. If you’re weighing a remodel and want a straight number for your specific bathroom, call Tom and the team at Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318. We’re owner-operated, we pull permits, and we put every change order in writing before a single nail moves.
We know Encino’s housing stock the way only a local crew can, because we’ve opened walls on both sides of it: the original post-war ranches on big flat lots, and the luxury rebuilds going up where those ranches used to stand. That matters when your bathroom sits on a foundation that saw what Encino saw in 1994.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Encino’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and the name on the truck is the same name that shows up at the walkthrough. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to your door in Encino. Tom’s sons run the crews, and Tom is on-site most days. That’s not a marketing line, it’s how we keep work honest, because the guy quoting your bathroom is the same guy you’ll run into at the hardware store next Saturday.
Encino homeowners have a specific reason to be skeptical of remodelers, and we respect it. A lot of this zip code’s houses went through frantic repairs after the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and some of that work was never done right. Contractors who drywall over problems instead of fixing them are not hard to find. We do the opposite: we open the wall, find what’s actually there, and put whatever needs fixing into the scope in writing. Look up our license number before you sign anything. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number for exactly that reason.
Every job we do in Encino, from a small tub-to-shower conversion near Balboa Park to a full master bath addition in the hills south of Ventura Boulevard, comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back, one call. That’s on the contract, not buried in fine print.
Call (877) 610-1318 and a real person answers. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a standing 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Encino
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Encino means taking the room down to the studs and rebuilding it right. That’s especially true in the original ranch homes around Hayvenhurst Avenue and Newcastle, where we regularly find quake-related framing issues behind the tile. We handle layout changes, plumbing relocation, electrical, waterproofing, and finish work, with permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Encino typically runs $4,500 to $12,000. We build curbless showers with Schluter waterproofing systems, which matters here because the San Fernando Valley heat puts real stress on materials, and a shower that leaks through a builder-grade pan is a mold problem waiting to happen. Frameless glass enclosures are an option we handle in-house, and we can spec them to fit tight Encino bathroom layouts where a swinging door just won’t work.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in Encino runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on whether we’re keeping the existing footprint or moving plumbing. These conversions are popular in the smaller bathrooms of 1960s ranch homes where the original tub takes up half the floor plan. We install Sterling and Grohe fixtures on most conversions, brands you can look up rather than mystery hardware off a van.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Encino runs $800 to $3,000, and tile work runs on top of that depending on square footage and material. We work with premium brands like Schluter for waterproofing and Grohe for fixtures, and we stock local parts so we’re not waiting on a warehouse two states away when your faucet shows up with a defect. That local parts advantage saves Encino customers real days on a remodel timeline.

Trusted Brands We Service in Encino
We install materials you can research, not whatever was cheapest at the supply house. In Encino bathrooms, we use Schluter waterproofing systems as standard because they’re the gold standard for wet areas, and they hold up in the Valley’s heat and dry conditions. Grohe and Sterling fixtures appear regularly in our bathroom work, and we’re happy to show you the spec sheets before anything gets ordered. Your allowance gets written down, and if you change the allowance, you get a new piece of paper. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Encino Homes
- Hidden quake damage behind the tile. The 1994 Northridge earthquake, whose epicenter sits just a few miles from Encino, left cripple-wall failures in a lot of the 1950s and 1960s ranch homes. Some of that damage got drywalled over rather than properly bolted, and a gut remodel is when it finally shows itself.
- Builder-grade waterproofing that fails in the Valley heat. Encino sits deep in the San Fernando Valley, where summer temperatures regularly exceed 105 degrees, often 15 to 20 degrees hotter than the Westside. That heat cycle stresses cheap waterproofing membranes and caulk joints, which is why we use Schluter systems rather than shortcut methods.
- Tight 1960s bathroom layouts that need a real rework. A lot of Encino’s original ranches have bathrooms under 50 square feet, and homeowners want a walk-in shower where a tub currently sits. Moving plumbing in a slab-on-grade ranch is not a weekend job, and anyone who tells you otherwise is guessing.
- Luxury rebuilds with mismatched mechanical rough-ins. On the larger custom homes going up south of Mulholland, we see bathrooms where the original plumbing rough-ins were never updated to match new layouts. A proper permitted remodel catches those points before tile goes up, not after.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Encino, CA
In Encino, a full bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, depending on the bathroom’s size, the condition behind the walls, and the finishes you choose. Small bathroom remodels run $5,000 to $12,000. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000. Vanity work alone is usually $800 to $3,000. The biggest wildcards in this market are what’s behind the walls, especially for the older ranch stock, and how far you’re moving plumbing.

Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your Encino bathroom remodel, and ask about our Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Encino
A bathroom remodel in Encino typically costs $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathroom remodels running $5,000 to $12,000. The range is driven by the size of the bathroom, whether you’re moving plumbing, and what condition the existing framing and waterproofing are in beneath the tile. Older ranch homes in Encino can hide quake-related surprises that add cost once walls are open. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and remember estimates are free.
Yes, we pull permits on every eligible job in Encino, and inspections get signed before we call the job done. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why we want him involved. Any contractor who tells you permits are optional in Los Angeles is doing you a disservice, and probably hiding something.
Not without a written change order, ever. In Encino, the most common reason a change order happens is a surprise behind the wall, like undisclosed quake damage or outdated plumbing that has to be brought to code. When that happens, we stop, show you what we found, tell you what it costs to fix, and we don’t move forward until you sign the change order.
A full bathroom remodel in Encino typically takes two to five weeks, depending on scope and the age of the house. Small jobs like a tub-to-shower conversion can finish in a week to ten days. The old ranch stock on slab foundations takes a little longer because plumbing moves require cutting concrete, and that’s not the kind of thing you want rushed.
Every completed job carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. You don’t get a claims department. You get the same person who quoted the job. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask us anything, or schedule a free estimate.

Whether you’re off Hayvenhurst or south of the Boulevard, the truck comes from the same local shop.
