Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fontana’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We didn’t parachute into Fontana. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and raised his sons in the trade, and they run the crews you’ll see on your street. When a homeowner in the 92335 ZIP code calls us about a bathroom that hasn’t been touched since the Eisenhower administration, we know what we’re walking into before we open the door: slab foundations, original single-wall framing, and electrical panels that were sized for a 1950s household, not a modern hair dryer and heated floor running at the same time.
Our Fontana customers call one number and reach a live person, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he invites you to look it up before you sign anything. That’s how we’ve built our reputation here: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.
We carry the same premium-brand depth you’d expect from a company that’s been serving the Inland Empire for over 29 years. For bathroom work, that means named materials you can look up, not mystery fixtures off a van. And every crew member carries the Barrett & Sons name, background-checked and uniformed on every visit. When you call (877) 610-1318, you’re calling a company that lives twenty minutes from your front door.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Fontana
We handle the full range of bathroom work for Fontana homes. Here’s what we see most often in this city.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Fontana typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size, layout changes, and material grades. For the older west-side homes in 92335, we often end up replacing subfloor, upgrading drain lines, and correcting framing that’s shifted over sixty-plus years. For the 1990s and 2000s tract homes in 92336 and 92337, it’s more about pulling out builder-grade acrylic surrounds and installing something with better water management and ventilation.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Fontana runs $4,500 to $12,000. Many Fontana homeowners are aging in place and want a zero-threshold entry with grab bars and a bench. We size the shower to the actual framing we find, not to a catalog drawing. In Fontana’s summer heat, a well-vented shower also matters more than people expect. Humidity gets trapped fast when outdoor temperatures sit above 105°F for weeks.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions in Fontana run $3,500 to $10,000. The older Kaiser-era homes in west Fontana often have cast-iron tubs that are rusting through, and the bathrooms are tight. We handle the full scope: demo, valve relocation, new pan, waterproofing, and finish. Permits pulled, inspections signed, and every change order written before a single nail moves.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in Fontana, but most customers bundle it with tile and fixture upgrades as part of a larger remodel. Hard water is a real factor throughout the Inland Valley. We recommend fixtures and finishes that hold up to mineral buildup better than the cheap builder-grade options that came with the house. We’ll give you named brands you can look up before you commit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fontana
We install materials we’re willing to put our name behind. For bathroom windows that survive Fontana’s summer heat and Santa Ana wind events, we use Simonton and Ply Gem products. For glass enclosures and surrounding window work, PGT offers impact-rated options worth considering if your bathroom faces the San Bernardino Mountains and catches direct afternoon exposure. We keep local stock coordination for Fontana customers so lead times don’t stretch out for months. You shouldn’t have to wait half a year for a shower door.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Fontana Homes
These are the issues that come up again and again in Fontana bathrooms, and we’ve seen enough of them to know how to fix them right.
- Rust-weakened cast-iron tubs in west Fontana: Homes in 92335 built for Kaiser Steel workers are now 60 to 80 years old. The original tubs were often cast iron, and many have rusted through at the drain or cracked at the enamel. Replacing them usually means opening the floor and checking the joists underneath, which we do as a standard part of the job.
- Failed builder-grade shower pans in 92336 and 92337: The 1990s and 2000s tract homes in east and north Fontana frequently came with acrylic shower pans that flex and crack over time. Water gets under the pan, rots the subfloor, and you don’t know until the tile starts moving. We pull the pan, dry everything out, and rebuild with a mortar bed and proper waterproofing.
- Inadequate bathroom ventilation in Fontana’s heat: When summer temperatures exceed 105°F and stay there, a bathroom fan that can’t move enough air turns the room into a mold chamber. We size fans to the actual cubic footage of the room, not the bare minimum code allows. It’s a small change that prevents big problems.
- Old electrical panels limiting bathroom work: West Fontana homes often still have original panels that can’t support a modern bathroom with heated floors, multiple outlets, and proper lighting. We coordinate panel upgrades as part of the remodel so your new bathroom actually works when everything is running at once.

Estimates are free, and there’s no trip charge inside the county.

Fontana pricing is consistent with the rest of the Inland Valley. What can add cost in Fontana specifically is foundation work in west-side 92335, where old industrial fill near the Kaiser Steel footprint sometimes means deeper excavation and engineered footings. We’ll tell you if that applies to your lot before we quote.
