AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Westlake Village
A full bathroom remodel in Westlake Village typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Most jobs take two to four weeks depending on whether you’re moving plumbing or keeping the existing footprint. If you own a home built between 1968 and 1985, you’re almost certainly dealing with post-tension concrete slabs and builder-grade finishes that have outlived their useful life. Our crew knows those houses because we work on them every week. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the space with you, line by line.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction. Tom Barrett founded the company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. We’re not a franchise. The name on the truck is the name on the contract, and the phone rings to a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Westlake Village’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Westlake Village homeowners tend to ask the same three questions before they sign anything: who’s actually showing up, will the price change, and do we really need permits. We answer all three before we ever put a nail in a wall. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. And we pull permits on every eligible job, because the inspector works for you, not for us. The last thing you want is a surprise down the road when you try to sell the house.
We’ve worked in the 91361 and 91359 ZIP codes long enough to know how the homes age. The neighborhoods around Three Springs Drive, Foxmoor, and the streets off Lindero Canyon Road were built under master-plan guidelines between the late 1960s and mid-1980s. That means we see the same conditions over and over: post-tension slabs you can’t cut without a concrete scan, builder-grade drywall behind original tile that was never waterproof, and exhaust fans that vent into the attic instead of outside. That local knowledge changes how we quote the job. It also changes what we warn you about before we start. If your Bathroom Remodeling team doesn’t understand post-tension concrete, find one that does.
We’re proud to serve Westlake Village and the surrounding communities. Not as a satellite office. As a local contractor whose crews know the HOA rules, the permit office, and the inspectors by first name.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Westlake Village
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in Westlake Village usually means gutting a 1970s or early 1980s bathroom down to the studs and rebuilding it to modern standards. We replace the waterproofing, re-set the tile on cement board or a membrane system, upgrade the electrical to current code, and install fixtures that match what the HOA architectural committee will approve if anything exterior-adjacent changes. That last part matters more here than in most cities. We’ll handle the dual approval so you don’t have to.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Westlake Village runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on tile, glass, and whether we’re converting a tub or expanding the footprint. The older homes around Westlake Lake and the communities up the hillside often have enough square footage for a generous shower with a linear drain, but the slab underneath requires a concrete scan before we cut anything. We do that on every job. No exceptions.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the most common upgrade we do in Westlake Village. Homeowners over 50 want to stay in their homes, and stepping over a tub wall becomes a real fall risk. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000, and we can usually do it without moving the drain, which means no slab cutting at all. That keeps the job faster, cleaner, and considerably less expensive. We’ll show you a zero-threshold option if you want true walk-in access.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
If the bones of your bathroom are fine and you’re just tired of the oak vanity and almond tile, we do smaller scoped remodels too. Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000. Tile work depends on square footage and material, but we’ll give you a written line-item quote before anything starts. No allowances that aren’t on paper. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Westlake Village Homes
- Post-tension slab surprises. Cutting into the concrete to move a toilet or shower drain without a concrete scan can strike a tension cable. That’s a structural problem, not a cosmetic one. We scan every slab before we cut, and on most Westlake Village homes we’ll recommend keeping the existing drain locations to avoid the risk entirely.
- Raw gypsum behind original tile. Homes built before 1985 were rarely waterproofed to modern standards. We regularly find rotten studs and crumbling drywall behind tile that looked fine from the front. That’s not a sales scare. That’s what we find when we demo bathrooms on Russell Ranch Road and the streets around Westlake High School.
- Attic-vented exhaust fans. Many original Westlake Village bathrooms vent a fan straight into the attic instead of through the roof. That’s a mold problem waiting to happen. If your fan is original, there’s a good chance this is what you have.
- HOA material conflicts. If your bathroom remodel touches anything exterior-adjacent, like a new exhaust vent or a window replacement, the HOA architectural committee has a say. So does the city. We build dual-approval time into our schedule, because we’ve seen jobs stall for a month when someone skipped it.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Westlake Village
Yes, in most cases. Any work that touches plumbing, electrical, or changes a fixture layout requires a permit in Westlake Village, even if the walls stay put. If you’re swapping a vanity and keeping everything in place, you might be fine. If you’re touching a drain, a wire, or a wall, pull the permit. We handle it for you. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your scope triggers.
Technically yes, but you should not do it without a concrete scan first. Westlake Village homes from the late 1960s through the mid-1980s almost universally sit on post-tension slabs. Cutting a tension cable can compromise the slab’s structural integrity, and the repair is expensive. We scan every slab before we cut, and in most cases we’ll recommend keeping the drain where it is and designing the new bathroom around it. It’s faster, safer, and usually thousands cheaper.
Yes. Most Westlake Village communities have architectural covenants that govern anything visible from the exterior or penetrating an exterior wall. A new exhaust fan vent, a window replacement, or any exterior-adjacent change needs HOA architectural committee approval in addition to the city permit. We build that dual-approval time into every project timeline. If you skip it, the HOA can force you to undo the work. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll help you navigate it.
Because the original construction used builder-grade drywall behind the tile instead of a modern waterproof membrane or cement board. Once grout fails or caulk separates, water seeps behind the tile and rots the studs. By the time you see a damp spot or a loose tile, the damage is usually well underway. We demo these bathrooms regularly. The fix is a full waterproofing rebuild, not a patch job. We’ll show you what we find when we open the wall.
For most Westlake Village homeowners over 50, a walk-in shower is the safer and more practical choice. Stepping over a tub wall is a fall risk, and a zero-threshold shower removes it entirely. On the value side, keeping at least one bathtub in the house matters for resale if you have three or more bedrooms. But if your priority is aging in place, the shower wins. We’ll talk through the trade-off honestly. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
