AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Woodland
A full bathroom remodel in Woodland typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller jobs like walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $12,000. Those numbers assume someone actually looked behind the walls before quoting, because in Woodland, what’s back there changes everything. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been opening up 95695 bathrooms long enough to know the real cost shows up after the first wall comes down. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll talk through what your house actually needs.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Woodland’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we say we’ll show up, the person who walks through your door on Court Street or Gibson Road is someone whose name is on the truck. We don’t sub out the work to strangers, and we don’t answer the phone with an out-of-state call center. A live person picks up, 24 hours a day.
Woodland homeowners call us because the quote we write is the quote we honor. Every scope change, every allowance, every surprise gets priced in writing before it happens. You’ll never open a final invoice and find a line item nobody mentioned. That’s not how we work here, and honestly, it’s not how Woodland expects to be treated.
We publish Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street. We’ve earned our reputation in Woodland one bathroom at a time, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Woodland
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut remodel is where the real work happens in Woodland’s older homes. We strip to the studs, correct what’s out of level, rewire what needs rewiring, and rebuild with materials that hold up to the wet-dry cycling of Yolo County’s climate. Most full remodels in the 95695 ZIP include subfloor leveling and some amount of reframing before tile ever enters the conversation.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade we do in Woodland. They’re practical, they open up small bathrooms in Craftsman bungalows, and they eliminate the tub edge that gets harder to step over every year. We install Schluter waterproofing membranes behind every tile surface, because standard mastic and drywall behind a shower in an older Woodland home is a leak waiting for the first wet season.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower in Woodland usually means dealing with a drain location that doesn’t match the original plumbing, especially in pre-1940 homes where the tub drain was set at an odd angle. We handle the repipe, the leveling, and the waterproofing so the finished shower drains properly and stays dry for decades. These conversions typically run $3,500 to $10,000 depending on what the floor framing looks like once we open it up.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
For smaller bathrooms that don’t need a full gut, we replace vanities, retile floors and walls, swap fixtures, and refresh the whole room without unnecessary demolition. The key on Woodward Avenue or College Street homes is checking what’s behind the existing tile before we promise a price. If the subfloor has settled or the wall is out of plumb, a simple retile becomes a framing correction, and that needs to be in the contract up front.

Trusted Brands We Service in Woodland
We stock and install brands you can look up yourself, not mystery materials off a van. For bathroom work, that means Kohler tubs and fixtures, Schluter waterproofing systems, and the same tile suppliers the better builders in Woodland use. We carry Techo-Bloc and Quikrete products where hardscape touches a bathroom project, like a curb or a niche that transitions to exterior work. When you call us from 95695 or 95776, we can usually have what you need staged within a few days.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Woodland Homes
- Out-of-level subfloors from expansive clay. The same Yolo County clay that shifts foundations also warps bathroom floors over decades. Before any tile goes down, we check for level and correct what’s moved. Skipping this step means cracked grout within a few seasons.
- Rotted sill plates and compromised rim joists. Older pier-and-beam homes in central Woodland often show rot where exterior moisture has wicked into the bathroom framing. We don’t tile over rot. We cut it out, replace it, and then build on something solid.
- Cast-iron drain stacks that are done. A 1950s or 1960s home in Woodland frequently has a cast-iron stack cracked at the subfloor. You won’t know it until the wall is open, which is exactly why our contracts include written allowances for this exact scenario.
- Water intrusion from failed shower pans. We see a lot of failed lead or vinyl shower pans in pre-1980 Woodland homes. The fix is a complete pan replacement, which means tile removal, subfloor inspection, and proper waterproofing before anything gets rebuilt.

What moves the number is what’s behind the walls: wiring, framing, plumbing, and subfloor condition. An older home near Beamer Park will almost always cost more per square foot than a newer build in east Woodland, because the old house has more surprises. We write every allowance into the contract so you know the ceiling, not just the starting bid. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote you can actually compare.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Woodland
Yes, often. Many pre-1940 and mid-century homes in central Woodland still have original 60-amp or undersized panels, and once a wall opens and a permit is pulled, the city inspector can require a panel upgrade to meet current code. We include an electrical allowance in every Woodland bathroom contract so this doesn’t become a surprise change order. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want to discuss what your specific panel might trigger.
We correct it before we build on it. If the slab has moved, we don’t tile over the movement; we address the slab first, which may mean saw-cutting and repouring the affected section with proper moisture barriers and compacted base material. The east-side subdivisions in 95776 sit on the same expansive clay as the rest of Woodland, and ignoring it just means cracked tile in three years. We’d rather fix it now and give you a bathroom that stays level.
Yes, it can. Many of the brick and masonry buildings in Woodland’s historic downtown corridor fall under Yolo County historic-district review for interior renovations that touch structural or exterior walls. Our team has worked through that review process before, and we factor the additional timeline into the schedule from day one rather than discovering it mid-project. If your building is in the historic district, we’ll flag it in the estimate.
Allowances are written dollar amounts in your contract that cover known unknowns, like rot behind a tub, a cracked drain stack, or damaged framing. When we open the wall and find something, we price the fix against the allowance and issue a written change order before any work proceeds. The allowance isn’t open-ended; it’s a number you approved up front, and any change beyond it comes to you in writing first. No surprise invoices at the end.
A full bathroom remodel with permits in Woodland typically runs four to eight weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on inspection scheduling and whether historic review applies. Smaller projects like tub-to-shower conversions can be done in two to three weeks. We’ll give you a written timeline in the contract, and we’ll update you in writing if anything moves. Call (877) 610-1318 for a schedule estimate specific to your project.
