AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Loomis
A full bathroom remodel in Loomis, CA typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size, existing conditions, and the materials you choose. That range reflects what we see on 1950s ranch restorations near the rail corridor as much as custom work on multi-acre parcels off King Road. If you’re reading this from a Loomis kitchen table with a bathroom that’s finally pushed you too far, call us at (877) 610-1318. We’ll start with a free estimate and a straight conversation about what your home actually needs.
We’ve worked around Loomis long enough to know that no two remodels here unfold the same way. Some bathrooms hide corroded galvanized pipe. Some hide dry-rotted subfloor from a wax ring that failed a decade ago. We plan for that before we quote, not after. You deserve a price that holds, not a phone call midway through demo with a list of “unforeseen” costs that should have been foreseen.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Loomis’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That matters in Loomis because you’ll see the same faces every morning until the job’s done. No crew of strangers rotated in from somewhere else. No project manager who’s never swung a hammer and can’t find Loomis on a map without GPS. When we say we’ll be there Thursday, a Barrett is there Thursday.
The wildland-urban interface rules in Placer County catch a lot of contractors flat-footed. We’re not surprised by them. We know that opening a wall on a Loomis bathroom can trigger WUI code requirements depending on where the venting and cladding sit. We also know the county’s septic capacity sign-off process for homes on private systems, which matters more here than most homeowners realize. We’re your Bathroom Remodeling team, and we do this work the way it should be done: permits pulled, inspections scheduled, change orders in writing before a single thing moves.
Every price change goes on paper first. Every allowance is written into the contract in plain language. And every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That’s not a slogan; it’s the way we’ve worked for over 29 years.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Loomis
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We tear it down to the studs and build it back right. For Loomis homes, that means inspecting for the things you can’t see from the surface: subfloor condition around the tub, the age and condition of supply and drain lines, whether the existing venting meets current Placer County fire code. We handle it all from demo to final inspection, and everything gets signed off before you take the room back.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested feature in Loomis remodels, especially for homeowners planning to age in place. A curbless entry, a linear drain, and a properly sloped floor built on a waterproof membrane. We install fiberglass and tile pans, and we always check the subfloor before anything goes down. That’s where older Loomis homes tend to hide problems.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Taking out a tub and replacing it with a shower sounds straightforward. In Loomis, it’s frequently not. If the wall is load-bearing or if the home sits on the county septic system, you may need a structural review or a septic capacity sign-off before the permit clears. We’ve done enough of these conversions in Loomis to know what Placer County will ask for, and we factor that into the estimate before we start. A tub-to-shower conversion here typically runs $3,500 to $10,000.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities, set tile, and fit out fixtures with an eye toward what works in a foothill home. Loomis’s clay-heavy ground does a number on slab foundations, which means tile work here needs a crack-isolation membrane in many cases. We use the right underlayment and the right setting materials, not whatever’s cheapest at the hardware store. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Loomis Homes
- Rotted subfloor around tubs and toilets: Loomis’s wet winters and shrink-swell clay soil put constant pressure on slab foundations, and older wax rings fail slowly. By the time homeowners see the stained ceiling below or feel the soft spot underfoot, the subfloor is often past patching. We inspect for this before we quote.
- Corroded galvanized rough-in plumbing: Homes built in the 1950s through the 1970s around Loomis’s original town grid still have galvanized supply and drain lines in the walls. When we open a wall, we often find them choked with rust. Re-piping adds cost, but leaving them in place under new tile is a mistake you’ll pay for later.
- Failed waterproofing behind old tile: Greenboard and mastic were standard for decades. They fail. We find mold, crumbling drywall, and rotted studs behind what looked like a perfectly fine shower surround. We tear it out, fix the framing, and rebuild with a proper waterproofing system.
- Improper venting in bathrooms on exterior walls: In Placer County’s WUI zones, certain vent penetrations on exterior walls must meet ember-resistant standards. Older Loomis homes rarely do. When we remodel a bathroom on an exterior wall, we check this during the permit phase so there are no surprises mid-job.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Loomis
Yes, that happens more than people expect. Loomis sits in Placer County’s High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and if any part of your remodel touches an exterior wall assembly, vent penetration, or exterior cladding, the county can require ember-resistant venting or ignition-resistant materials before they’ll sign the permit. We check this during the planning phase, so it’s written into your scope before demo starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what applies to your house specifically.
It can. Adding a second sink, a larger shower, or any fixture that increases the bedroom count in the eyes of the county triggers a septic capacity review by Placer County Environmental Health. If your tank and leach field are already maxed out, the county can hold up the permit until the system is upgraded. We’ll tell you whether your project is likely to trigger this before you sign anything, and we coordinate the sign-off so you’re not stranded between two agencies. Call (877) 610-1318 for an estimate that accounts for it.
Rotted subfloor and corroded galvanized drain lines. We recently worked on a 1970s ranch near the historic rail corridor where a cramped hall bath hid a dry-rotted subfloor under a failed wax ring and galvanized rough-in that was barely passing water. It added real scope, but the homeowners saw the exact change order and approved it before we replaced the drain and sistered the load-bearing joists. That’s the difference between a written allowance and an oral promise. If you’re pricing a remodel on an older Loomis home, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk through what to expect.
Yes, in most cases. If the conversion changes the drain layout, affects a load-bearing wall, or involves plumbing beyond a direct like-for-like swap, Placer County requires a permit. Homes on septic systems also need the septic capacity sign-off if fixture counts change. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and make sure everything passes before we close the wall. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your specific project requires.
Loomis’s expansive clay soils move with the seasons, and that movement shows up as slab cracks and stress on tile. Before we set a tile floor, we inspect the slab and, where the movement is significant, we install a crack-isolation membrane so the tile doesn’t telegraph the crack. In more serious cases, we address the sub-slab moisture or drainage first. The key is not ignoring it just because the old floor lasted this long. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll look at your foundation before we quote a floor.
