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

We’re the name on the truck. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call our San Diego office, a live person answers, not a call center. When you sign a contract, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on it in plain English: if something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print, no phone tree.

San Diego homeowners tell us they’ve been burned before by outfits that quote one number on the phone and show up with another. That doesn’t happen here. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every price movement arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.

We also know the local building scene cold. In canyon-rim neighborhoods like Mission Hills and South Park, we’ve opened walls and found galvanized drain lines from the 1920s that the last remodel never touched. We know which homes in 92103 and 92104 trigger a City of San Diego Hillside Review, and we know how to sequence the work so the permit office, the soils engineer, and our tile crew aren’t tripping over each other. Tom’s name, his address, and his license number are published and verifiable, and we pull permits on every eligible job.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in San Diego

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full remodel means the whole room comes out: flooring, walls, shower pan, vanity, lighting, the works. In San Diego’s older Craftsman and Spanish Revival homes, we almost always find subfloor rot near the tub and unvented moisture damage behind the tile. We’re set up to handle that discovery honestly, with written change orders, not a surprise bill. Every full remodels gets a permit pulled and inspections signed.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Stepping over a 20-inch tub wall gets harder every year, and a walk-in shower with a zero-threshold entry changes that for good. In coastal ZIP codes like 92107 and 92109, west-facing bathrooms take marine-layer moisture most of the year, so we spec cement board and waterproofing systems that handle persistent condensation. A walk-in shower installation in San Diego runs $5,310-$14,160.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

You keep the bathroom footprint, we pull the old tub and build a proper shower in its place. This works especially well in San Diego’s pre-war bungalows where bathrooms are tight. A tub-to-shower conversion in San Diego runs $4,130-$11,800, and most are done in seven to ten days. We handle the drain relocation, waterproofing, and finish tile from start to finish.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Sometimes the bones are fine and you just need the room to look like this decade. New vanity, new countertop, new tile, new fixtures. In Mission Valley and downtown condo buildings, we coordinate with building management on water shutoff windows and freight elevator access. Vanity installation in San Diego runs $945-$3,540, and tile work gets priced per square foot on the written estimate.

Trusted Brands We Service in San Diego

We stock and install brands you can look up, not mystery boxes off a van. For bathroom work in San Diego, that means Cambria and KraftMaid on countertops and cabinetry, along with Quikrete and Techo-Bloc products when a job calls for a curb or a shower base. Because we keep our San Diego warehouse stocked with common finishes and parts, we’re not waiting two weeks on a backordered drain assembly when your remodel is already torn open. If you’re also thinking about the exterior of your home, we handle Windows & Doors in San Diego with the same written-change-order discipline.

And if this year’s project list includes the roof over that bathroom, our crews also do Roofing in San Diego so you’re not juggling three contractors on one house.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in San Diego Homes

• Marine-layer rot and stucco delamination near the coast. In Ocean Beach and Point Loma, we regularly find wall cavities behind the shower that have been holding moisture for years. Proper waterproofing and ventilation matter more within a mile of the water than they do five miles inland.
• Cast-iron and galvanized drain lines from the 1920s and ’30s. Mission Hills, North Park, and South Park homes still have original plumbing in the walls. When we open a wall for a bathroom remodel and find it, we show you photos and put the replacement in writing before we touch it.
• Floor platforms that have settled on decomposed granite fill. Canyon-rim lots from 92102 through 92107 sit on fill that moves. We’ve leveled bathroom floors that were sloping half an inch toward the tub, which affects how tile lays and how the shower drains.
• Small bathroom footprints that weren’t designed for modern fixtures. Most pre-war San Diego bungalows have bathrooms under 45 square feet. A thoughtful layout matters more here than square footage, and we’ll show you where a pocket door or a corner vanity buys back real inches.
