Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Sun Valley

In Sun Valley, a full bathroom remodel typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, while smaller refreshes land between $5,000 and $12,000. We write every scope in writing, every allowance in writing, and every change order in writing before a single nail moves, so the price you sign is the price you pay. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, look at your bathroom, and hand you a written line-item estimate you can keep.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sun Valley’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from three states away. Barrett & Sons Construction is owned and operated by Tom Barrett, and his sons run the crews. Tom lives close enough to Sun Valley that if something’s not right, he wants to know about it before you have to chase him down. That’s why the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, not buried in fine print: one call brings Tom back to make it right.
Working in Sun Valley means understanding that you’re in unincorporated Washoe County, not the city of Reno or Sparks. Permits route through Washoe County’s building division, and county inspection scheduling runs on different timelines than adjacent cities. A contractor who doesn’t know the county-specific submittal requirements for manufactured-home lots will get plans rejected and lose you weeks. We know the drill. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job, because the last contractor most Sun Valley customers used told them permits were optional. Ask anyone on your street, or look up Tom’s license number yourself.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Sun Valley
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We gut tired bathrooms in Sun Valley’s 1960s and 1970s tract houses and rebuild them properly, with new framing where the old studs have sagged, new waterproofing behind the tile, and fixtures that can handle hard water from the local wells. A full remodel here means coordinating with Washoe County inspectors at rough-in and final, and we schedule that work around county timelines, not city ones.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Older Sun Valley bathrooms often have tub-shower combos that have been caulked so many times the seams look like ropes. We convert those spaces into curbless or low-threshold walk-in showers with proper slope, solid waterproofing, and grab-bar blocking in the walls for future safety. At this elevation, dry air and hard freeze-thaw cycles mean the waterproofing membrane matters more than the tile on top of it.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
For homeowners who want to age in place without leaving Sun Valley, a tub-to-shower conversion is one of the most practical remodels we do. We remove the old tub, cap the drain properly, build a sloped shower pan, and install a bench if you want one. In Sun Valley single-wides and double-wides, this also means working around manufactured-home floor framing, which is different from stick-built floors and needs a contractor who’s done it before.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities, tile, fixtures, and frameless glass shower enclosures in Sun Valley bathrooms of every size, from compact half-baths in older tract homes to full primary suites added onto manufactured-home lots. We carry brand names you can look up, not mystery stock off a van, and we cut tile on site to fit the slightly out-of-square walls that are common in homes from the 1960s and 1970s.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sun Valley
We install fixtures and hardware from brands with real warranties and real parts availability, including Simonton and Ply Gem when a remodel includes a new window in the bathroom, and PGT for impact-rated glass where Sun Valley’s seasonal Washoe Zephyr winds make it worth the upgrade. Because we’re local to the area, we can get parts quickly when something needs replacing, and we stand behind the installation with the same 90-Day Done Right Promise we write on every contract. You don’t have to guess whether a brand will still be around in five years; these are names you can research.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sun Valley Homes
- Freeze-thaw heaving on shallow slabs. Sun Valley sits at roughly 4,500 feet, and the hard freeze-thaw cycles each winter heave shallow concrete footings and crack slabs. In bathrooms, this shows up as cracked floor tile, gaps at the base of the tub, and doors that no longer latch. The fix starts under the floor, not on top of it.
- Washoe Zephyr wind pushing dust through old seals. The seasonal winds that rip down off Peavine Mountain carry fine dust, and with near-zero summer humidity, caulk dries out fast. We replace failed caulks and seals with high-quality products rated for high-desert conditions, and we inspect the bathroom’s venting while we’re at it.
- Manufactured-home bathrooms with nonstandard framing. Many Sun Valley homes are single- or double-wide manufactured units, and the bathroom walls and floors are not framed like a stick-built house. A contractor who doesn’t know HUD-code construction will cut into the wrong stud and create a structural problem. We’ve worked on these homes for years and know exactly what’s behind the paneling.
- Plumbing that was never upgraded to current code. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s often have galvanized pipes that are rusting from the inside, or fixture shutoffs that don’t fully close. When we open a wall during a remodel, we expect surprises like that, and we handle them with a written change order before any extra work happens.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Sun Valley
How quickly can you start a bathroom remodel in Sun Valley?
We can usually get a written estimate to you within a few days and start the work within two to four weeks depending on county permit timing and material lead times. Washoe County’s building division runs on its own schedule, and we factor that into the timeline honestly from day one. Call (877) 610-1318 for a realistic start date.
Do you cover the whole 89433 zip code in Sun Valley?
Yes, we serve the entire 89433 zip code, from the neighborhoods off Sun Valley Boulevard to the streets nearer the hills on the west side. We know the roads, we know the county requirements, and we show up when we say we will. If you’re in 89433, you’re in our service area.
Is emergency bathroom service available in Sun Valley?
For genuine emergencies, like a burst supply line or a severe leak that’s damaging the subfloor, call (877) 610-1318. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we’ll help you stop the damage and get the repair scheduled. We do not promise same-day remodels, but we will get someone on the phone and a plan in motion fast.
Will my bathroom remodel in Sun Valley cost more than in Reno or Sparks?
Not because of the location itself. Sun Valley is in the same market for materials and labor as Reno and Sparks, but because many homes are manufactured or older stock, the prep work can add cost that a newer stick-built home wouldn’t need. We’ll show you exactly where the money goes on the written estimate. Free second opinions on any written estimate, and no trip charge inside the county.
What warranty do you offer on bathroom remodels in Sun Valley?
Every job we complete is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract itself. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. That’s not a Sun Valley-specific warranty; it’s the same promise we’ve made since 1998, and it applies to every bathroom we remodel in 89433. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and nobody will pressure you.
Get Your Free Bathroom Remodel Estimate in Sun Valley
The fastest way to get a real number is to call Tom and the team at (877) 610-1318. We’ll schedule a time to look at your bathroom, talk through what you want, and hand you a written, line-item estimate you can compare. No pressure, no surprise invoices, just straight talk from a company that’s been owner-operated since 1998 and works under its own name in Sun Valley every week. If you have a written estimate from someone else, bring it and we’ll give you a free second opinion. We’d rather earn your business honestly than buy it with a phone price that won’t hold.
