We’ve worked on ranch homes along Mentone Boulevard, hillside builds off Garnet Street, and the citrus-era properties near Crafton Avenue. Mentone is different from Redlands or Yucaipa in one big way: you’re in unincorporated San Bernardino County, which means your permit lands on a county desk, not a city one. We know those inspectors by name, and we know what they’ll flag before we ever swing a hammer.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Mentone’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run crews on jobs in Mentone every month. That’s not a talking point - it’s how we’ve kept a strong local reputation for over 29 years. When a Mentone homeowner calls, a live person answers, day or night. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center.

We publish Tom’s name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, or check our work in the neighborhoods near the Mentone Post Office or over by Crafton Hills College. The permit inspector works for you, not for me - that’s why I like him. Every job we take in the 92359 ZIP gets permits pulled and inspections signed when they’re required, and every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s the Bathroom Remodeling standard we’ve held since day one.

Crew members who carry the Barrett & Sons name are background-checked and uniformed on every visit. They’re Tom’s sons and their teams, not dispatched strangers from three counties away. We’re an owner-operated company serving Mentone directly from our Inland Empire office, which means if something’s not right, Tom is twenty minutes away and wants to hear about it.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Mentone

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full remodel in Mentone means tearing down to the studs and rebuilding with materials that can handle the local climate. Older ranch homes here often hide water damage behind tile that looks fine from the outside - we’ve opened more than a few walls on Garnet Street to find rot from decades-old pinhole leaks. We replace the framing, waterproof with Schluter systems, and install fixtures your grandkids won’t have to worry about. Full remodels in Mentone generally run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on square footage and whether you’re moving plumbing.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in shower installation in Mentone typically costs $4,500 to $12,000. Given the area’s debris-flow-deposited soils and expansive ground movement, a properly waterproofed shower pan matters more here than in towns with stable valley-floor construction. We use Schluter’s bonded waterproofing membrane on every shower we build, so grout cracks from settling don’t turn into leaks behind the wall.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

A tub-to-shower conversion in Mentone runs $3,500 to $10,000 and is one of the most practical upgrades we do for homeowners in their 60s and 70s who want to age in place. We frame the alcove, redo the waterproofing, and install a low-threshold pan that’s easier to step into. Sterling plumbing fixtures and Grohe valves are common choices here because they’re easy to service and parts are stocked locally. Most conversions take three to five working days once the permit clears.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Vanity installation in Mentone ranges from $800 to $3,000 depending on whether you’re swapping a unit or building custom cabinetry. We’ve installed plenty of vanities in the mid-century ranch homes near the Bluff Road area, where the original bathroom cabinets were built tight to the wall and need careful demolition to avoid damaging plumbing. Tile work follows the same rule: proper substrate prep first, because Mentone’s ground movement will find every shortcut. If you’re replacing a vanity and want tile that won’t crack in five years, talk to us about decoupling membranes.

Trusted Brands We Service in Mentone

We install and service Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling fixtures, and Grohe valves across Mentone. These aren’t mystery brands off a van - they’re materials you can look up, with real warranties and parts that any supply house in San Bernardino or Redlands can get quickly. If a Grohe cartridge fails three years from now, we can have the replacement part in hand within a day or two without waiting on a special order from the East Coast. That matters when your only bathroom is down.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Mentone Homes

• Water damage hidden behind original tile from the citrus-era builds. Many Mentone ranch homes from the 1950s and 60s still have their original mortar-bed showers, and the pans underneath are often cracked or rusted through. By the time you see a stain on the ceiling below, the subfloor is already compromised.
• Grout cracking from expansive soils and ground movement. Mentone sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains on alluvial fan soils that swell and shrink with moisture. Standard thin-set over cement board fails here faster than in stable valley towns - we use decoupling membranes and proper movement joints on every tile job.
• Non-compliant venting and outdated plumbing that county inspectors will flag. Because Mentone falls under San Bernardino County Building & Safety, any permitted bathroom remodel can trigger corrections to existing non-conforming plumbing. If your home still has galvanized supply lines, plan for replacement while the walls are open.
• Undersized exhaust fans leading to mold and peeling paint. A lot of older Mentone bathrooms have a tiny builder-grade fan or no fan at all. With local humidity swings and Santa Ana-driven dust, we routinely upgrade to properly sized forced-air exhaust and hard-ducted venting that actually moves moisture out of the house.
