We are Barrett & Sons Construction, and we have been remodeling homes across the Inland Empire since 1998. Tom Barrett owns the company, and his sons run the crews, so the name on the truck is the same name that shows up at your door in 92509.

We work in Glen Avon regularly. We know the unpermitted 1970s plumbing hidden inside those 1950s ranch homes off Granite Hill Drive. We know what the Santa Ana winds do to exterior bathroom vents and what expansive clay does to shower pans. That local knowledge is not something you can price-shop; it shows up in a scope that does not change once the walls come open.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Glen Avon’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We are not a franchise dispatching strangers out of a call center. Tom Barrett lives in the Inland Empire, publishes his name and license number openly, and stands behind every job with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something is not right, one call brings him back. No fine print, no runaround.
Glen Avon homeowners have dealt with enough surprises. Many of these houses have additions that were never permitted, plumbing that predates modern code, and slab conditions that punish a contractor who does not understand Riverside County soil. Our Bathroom Remodeling team scopes every job with those realities in mind. We pull permits on every eligible job, we put every change order in writing before work proceeds, and we do not leave a client holding a bill they never saw coming. That is why homeowners in Glen Avon keep calling us back and why they wave at our trucks on Clay Street.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Glen Avon, CA
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Glen Avon means more than swapping a vanity. In these 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, it often means correcting decades of unpermitted work, re-leveling a floor over expansive clay, and bringing plumbing up to current code before a single tile goes down. We strip to the studs when needed, re-scope in writing if we find something hidden, and finish with a bathroom that will not need revisiting in five years.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in showers are the most common upgrade we build in Glen Avon, especially for homeowners planning to stay in their homes through retirement. We frame for low or zero-threshold entries, install proper waterproofing systems over slab floors, and handle the drainage details that clay soil demands. On a 1950s ranch near the old Jurupa Valley citrus groves, we converted a tub to a walk-in shower and discovered unpermitted 1970s plumbing in the wall. Our crew pulled the rough-in, added a Schluter waterproofing layer over the expansive clay subfloor, and worked with Riverside County on the inspection sign-off before closing up. The client’s final punch list had zero surprises.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in a Glen Avon home usually costs between $3,500 and $10,000, depending on what lurks behind the walls. Many of these older homes have cast-iron tubs and galvanized drain lines that have been failing for years. We handle the demo, the plumbing replacement, the waterproofing, and the finishing. You get a shower that drains correctly and a floor that will not heave and crack the tile within two years.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Some Glen Avon bathrooms need a refresh, not a gut job. We install new vanities, retile shower surrounds and floors, and replace fixtures with quality products that hold up under Inland Empire heat and hard water. We stock brands you can look up, not mystery boxes off a van. Every selection is documented on a written scope, including allowances, so you know exactly what you are paying for before installation day.

Trusted Brands We Service in Glen Avon
We install and service premium brands across every trade we touch, and that includes bathroom hardware and fixtures from names like Simonton and Ply Gem. When a Glen Avon fix needs parts, we already know what works in these older ranch homes and what will not survive the heat and mineral-heavy water. We do not push one brand because we have a deal with a distributor; we install what fits your home and your budget, in writing, before anything gets ordered.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Glen Avon Homes
- Stringfellow Superfund complications. Every ground-disturbing bathroom remodel in Glen Avon’s 92509 ZIP sits within the Stringfellow Acid Pits Superfund influence zone. Our scopes include a Phase I/II contamination check and county environmental sign-off that Mira Loma or Rubidoux contractors rarely mention. Skip that step and you can get halted mid-excavation by Riverside County environmental compliance officers.
- Expansive clay heave under the slab. The valley floor around Glen Avon has clay soil that swells and shrinks with moisture. That movement cracks tile, breaks shower pan seals, and shifts vanities over time. We detail for it on every job, because a contractor who ignores it guarantees a callback in two years.
- Unpermitted prior additions. Many Glen Avon homes have additions built during Riverside County’s lighter enforcement era. A simple vanity swap can cascade into a full code-compliance retrofit if the work touches load-bearing walls or plumbing that was never inspected. We research permit history before we quote, not after we demo.
- Santa Ana wind and heat damage. Summers above 105°F and periodic Santa Ana winds punish bathroom exhaust fans, caulking, and exterior vent flaps. We install products rated for this climate, not spec-grade materials designed for cooler coastal air.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Glen Avon
Does a bathroom remodel in Glen Avon require any special environmental review because of the Stringfellow Acid Pits?
Yes. Any bathroom remodel in the 92509 ZIP that disturbs the ground, which includes slab work, trenching for plumbing, or foundation repair, falls within the Stringfellow Acid Pits Superfund influence zone. Our scopes include a Phase I/II contamination check and Riverside County environmental sign-off before we dig. A contractor who skips this step risks getting shut down mid-job by county compliance officers. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will map this into your estimate from day one.
Why does my Glen Avon ranch bathroom remodel cost more than a similar job in Mira Loma?
Two reasons: the Stringfellow soil-clearance contingency and the age of the housing stock. Glen Avon’s 1950s and 1960s ranch homes frequently have unpermitted additions and galvanized plumbing that Mira Loma’s newer subdivisions do not. Our prices reflect the real cost of doing the job correctly under Riverside County oversight, not a cheap bid that turns into change orders. You can compare our written scope to any other bid line by line.
Can I convert my tub to a walk-in shower if my house has expansive clay soil?
Yes, and we do it regularly in Glen Avon. The key is proper waterproofing and drainage detailing over the slab, accounting for the swelling and shrinking that valley-floor clay brings. We use Schluter waterproofing systems and re-level floors before tiling, so the pan does not crack and leak within two years. The typical tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000, and we will give you a fixed number in writing before we start.
How do I avoid change orders on a small bathroom remodel in 92509?
You start by hiring a contractor who puts everything on paper before work begins. We write every scope, every allowance, and every price change as a formal change order, signed by you before any work proceeds. We also research permit history and soil conditions before we quote, so the surprises that plague Glen Avon remodels are already in the bid instead of showing up as change orders later. If you have a written estimate from someone else, we will review it free as a second opinion.
Will my bathroom remodel in Glen Avon need county permits instead of city permits?
In most cases, yes. Glen Avon is part of Jurupa Valley, and building permits go through Riverside County’s jurisdiction for the unincorporated areas that make up much of 92509. We pull permits on every eligible job and coordinate the inspections ourselves. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we like having them sign off. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will confirm what your specific address requires.
