Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Redlands’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Redlands today. When a homeowner on Smiley Heights calls about a sagging floor under a 1920s bathroom, the person answering the phone understands what balloon framing means for a remodel. That’s the difference between a local outfit and a national call center that quotes one number on Tuesday and sends a different bill on Friday.
We’ve remodeled bathrooms in Redlands long enough to know the Historic Preservation Commission review process for properties in designated districts. Homeowners near the corner of Highland Avenue and Cajon Street who want to replace a tub in a Mission Revival home don’t need a contractor learning the rules as he goes. They need someone who already knows that period-compatible tile selections and written documentation matter to the city. We handle that.
Every job gets a written scope, written allowances, and written change orders before any work changes. No surprises at the end. And every completed project carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not hidden in a footnote. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published for anyone to look up before signing anything.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team coordinates from our Inland Empire office, which means permits, inspections, and material deliveries in Redlands move without the delays you get from contractors based two counties away. If you’re also thinking about exterior work, our Roofing in Redlands crew handles GAF and CertainTeed systems, and our Windows & Doors in Redlands team installs Andersen and Marvin products. Same owner, same standards, one phone number.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Redlands
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A complete gut-and-rebuild of a primary bath in Redlands runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on square footage, plumbing relocation, and finish level. On a 1940s home near the University of Redlands, that usually means dealing with original cast-iron drain lines, plaster walls, and a subfloor that’s seen better decades. We plan for what’s behind the walls before we ever pick tile. Our full remodels include permits pulled, inspections signed, and a written change order for every scope adjustment.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installations in Redlands run $4,500 to $12,000, and they’re the single most requested bathroom upgrade we see in 92373 and 92374. Older Redlands homes often have cramped tub/shower combos that don’t work for aging-in-place homeowners, which is exactly why so many people in this area choose curbless entries and built-in benches. We use Schluter waterproofing systems on every shower pan we build, because a failed pan is the most expensive hidden problem in a remodel.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a standard tub to a walk-in shower in Redlands runs $3,500 to $10,000. The older homes around Smiley Heights and the north-of-Citrus corridors frequently have 60-inch alcoves that convert cleanly without moving walls, which keeps the budget at the lower end. When a tub surround has failed and leaked behind the walls, we repair the framing, replace the valve, and install a Sterling or Grohe fixture set that you can actually find parts for down the road.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Redlands runs $800 to $3,000, and tile work is priced per square foot depending on the material and layout complexity. Smaller homes in the older core often need custom vanity sizes because nothing off the shelf fits a 17-inch-deep alcove. We measure, we spec, and the vanity that arrives is the vanity that fits. Fixtures come from brands you can look up: Grohe, Sterling, and others we’re happy to name before you sign.

Trusted Brands We Service in Redlands
We install materials with names you can verify, not mystery products off a van. For bathroom work in Redlands, that means Schluter waterproofing systems, Grohe and Sterling fixtures, and tile selections sourced through local suppliers who stock what Redlands homes actually need. When a homeowner in the South Redlands area wants a frameless glass enclosure, we order it cut to the exact opening rather than forcing a stock panel into a wall that’s out of square by three-eighths of an inch, which is common in older construction. Full Redlands coverage, no subcontractor roulette.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Redlands Homes
- Adobe clay soil movement cracking tile and grout. The older neighborhoods of Redlands sit on clay soils left over from citrus irrigation, and those soils shrink and swell with the seasons. Tile floors laid over a slab that moves will crack, and we account for soil behavior with proper underlayment and isolation membranes.
- Failed shower pans in original bathrooms. Homes built before the 1960s around the North University area often have lead or vinyl pans that have been leaking silently for years. We find the rot during demolition, and we repair it before it becomes a structural problem.
- Historic preservation requirements. If your home sits in a designated historic district, the Historic Preservation Commission reviews exterior alterations, and in some cases interior work that affects character-defining features. We know the process and document everything the city needs.
- Ventilation trouble in windowless baths. Many mid-century ranch homes in southeast Redlands have interior bathrooms with no exterior window. Inadequate exhaust fans lead to mold and peeling paint. We size and install proper ventilation on every remodel, which is a detail that gets skipped on too many low bids.

Yes. We work throughout 92373, 92374, and 92375, including Smiley Heights, South Redlands, North University, and the historic districts near downtown.

Redlands pricing runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full bathroom remodel, which is comparable to Highland but often slightly higher than Colton because of older housing stock and, in some areas, historic preservation review.
