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

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he put his name on it. That means something in Orange, where half the homes on any given street in Old Towne were built before your grandfather was born. We answer the phone with a live person, every time, and the crew that shows up at your door is led by Tom or one of his sons. No franchise, no rotating subcontractors, no “we’ll have someone in your area next Tuesday.”

Orange homeowners call us because we do something a lot of remodelers won’t: we put every scope change, every allowance, every price adjustment in writing as a change order before any work moves forward. If the tile you picked is back ordered and the swap costs $400 more, you’ll see it on paper and sign it before we spend a dime. That’s the difference between a quote and a promise. And when the job’s done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise stands behind it. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.

We serve Orange from our Los Angeles metro office, but the crews work locally and know the city well. We’ve remodeled bathrooms near Chapman Avenue, up in the 92862 hills, and all through the 92866 and 92867 ZIPs. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license information, because he has nothing to hide.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Orange

Whether you’re updating a 1930s bungalow bathroom in Old Towne or gutting a 1960s tract home master bath near Villa Park, the approach changes. Here’s what we handle most often in Orange.

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full bathroom remodel in Orange usually means tearing out everything down to the studs and starting clean. In older homes around the Plaza Square district, that also means dealing with original plaster, cast-iron drain stacks, and framing that hasn’t seen daylight in 90 years. We assess the structure before we quote, pull the permit, and handle the entire job from demolition to final inspection. Typical cost: $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size and finishes.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade we see in Orange right now, especially in the 1950s and 1960s ranch homes where the original tub-and-shower combo is cramped and awkward. We install Schluter waterproofing systems under tile so you never deal with a leak behind the wall, and we build curbless entries where the floor plan allows. A walk-in shower installation in Orange generally runs $4,500 to $12,000.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Trading a tub for a walk-in shower makes sense for a lot of Orange homeowners, particularly anyone planning to stay in the house as they get older. The conversion is faster than a full remodel because we’re usually working within the existing footprint, but we still pull a permit and inspect the drain line before we close anything up. Expect $3,500 to $10,000 in this market.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Sometimes the bones are fine and the bathroom just needs a refresh. We replace vanities, retile floors and walls, swap out faucets and shower trim, and install new toilets. In Orange’s older homes, we’ve rescued more than a few original built-in vanities by rebuilding them instead of ripping them out, something national companies won’t even offer. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000; tile work varies by square footage and material.

Trusted Brands We Service in Orange

We stock and install materials we’d put in our own homes. For bathrooms, that means Schluter waterproofing systems under every tile shower, Grohe fixtures when you want German engineering on the wall, and Sterling tubs and shower bases when you want proven durability without the luxury markup. If you’re planning a larger remodel and need Bathroom Remodeling guidance, our team can walk you through fiberglass versus tile, acrylic versus cast iron, and what actually holds up in Orange’s low-humidity climate. We buy from local supply houses in Orange County, so if a part or a fixture arrives damaged or wrong, you’re not waiting a week for a replacement from a warehouse in Ohio.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Orange Homes

• Historic plaster failure in Old Towne bathrooms. The 1880s to 1930s homes around the Plaza have lath-and-plaster walls that crack and crumble when remodelers try to force modern drywall methods. We assess the plaster first and often recommend keeping what’s sound instead of tearing it all out, which saves money and preserves the home’s character.
• Cast-iron drain lines nearing end of life. Many Orange homes built before 1960 still have original cast-iron waste pipes that are rusted from the inside. We camera-inspect drain lines during a remodel quote so you don’t close up walls around a pipe that’s about to fail.
• Slab foundation drain shifts in ranch homes. The 1950s to 1970s tract homes across Orange sit on concrete slabs, and when the ground shifts during dry Santa Ana seasons, drain lines under the slab can move. A five-minute inspection before we set the tub or shower pan prevents a $2,000 redo later.
• Old-growth framing that fights modern tile. Houses built in the 1920s and 1930s used Douglas fir that’s now harder than anything you can buy at a lumberyard. It expands and contracts with Orange’s dry heat, which means tile installed directly on it will crack unless the installer uses the right substrate. We use Schluter uncoupling membranes specifically to handle that movement.
