Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Anderson Mill’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and today his sons run the crews that work in Anderson Mill week in and week out. That matters because the person who answers your call is the person whose name is on the truck. We are not a franchise dispatching strangers to your block. When we scope a shower remodel off Lake Creek Parkway or a tub-to-shower conversion near the Anderson Mill Pool, we’re looking at the same 1980s construction details we’ve been fixing since the first year Tom pulled a permit in this area. We also handle Anderson Mill Windows & Doors when exterior upgrades tie into the job.
Our Anderson Mill customers come to us the same way people find any contractor they trust: a neighbor mentions the name, or they look up the license number themselves and see a verifiable address and a real person. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number openly. And our crews are background-checked and uniformed on every visit. You’ll know who’s in your house.
For Anderson Mill specifically, our team knows the county lines block to block. We’ve pulled Williamson County permits from Georgetown for work off Zeppelin Drive and Travis County permits for homes a few streets over. We know which inspector is likely to show up, what the amendment cycle means for your rough-in date, and how to schedule so you’re not sitting on a gutted bathroom for an extra week waiting on paperwork.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Anderson Mill
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles full gut renovations, partial updates, and everything between. Below are the four services Anderson Mill homeowners call us about most.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
For homes in Anderson Mill built between 1976 and 1988, a full remodel usually means more than swapping fixtures. We often find original galvanized supply lines, layers of old vinyl flooring that need proper removal, and undersized ventilation. We scope the whole job, including the stuff behind the walls, before we quote. You get a written line-item price, and if anything changes, you get a written change order before that change touches the job.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Anderson Mill runs $4,500 to $12,000. The range depends on whether we’re keeping the existing drain location or moving it, which on Anderson Mill’s limestone bedrock can add excavation hours. We build with Schluter waterproofing systems as standard, because Anderson Mill’s wet-dry clay cycle will find any weak point in a shower pan that isn’t properly sealed. Frameless glass enclosures are a common upgrade, and we work with glass fabricators who measure after tile is set so the fit is exact.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in Anderson Mill runs $3,500 to $10,000, and it’s the single most requested bathroom job we do in this neighborhood. Many of these 1980s homes have a hall bath with a standard alcove tub that nobody uses anymore. We remove the tub, reinforce the floor beneath, install a Sterling or Kohler shower base with Schluter waterproofing, and usually add a frameless glass panel or door. It’s a fast, high-impact update, and we scope it thoroughly before quoting because water lines and drain lines in these original slabs can hide surprises.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Anderson Mill runs $800 to $3,000, and we don’t just drop in a box store cabinet. We check for level floors, which is its own project on homes sitting on post-tension slabs that have settled. Tile work follows the same standard: proper substrate, waterproof membrane, and grout that holds up to Central Texas humidity. We stock Grohe and Moen fixtures for Anderson Mill customers because those brands hold up and parts are available the same week, not after a special order.

Trusted Brands We Service in Anderson Mill
We install brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. In Anderson Mill bathrooms, we commonly spec Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling shower bases, and Grohe fixtures, and on the rare occasion a bathroom remodel ties into a larger roof or exterior project, we’ll bring in GAF roofing products. We can also quote Fence Installation in Anderson Mill when the scope expands to the yard. When something needs a replacement part, we have local supply relationships in the Austin metro that get materials to your Anderson Mill job quickly. If a specific brand matters to you, tell us during the estimate and we’ll price it accurately rather than substitute something else later.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Anderson Mill Homes
- Galvanized plumbing reaching the end of its life. Original galvanized supply lines in 1976-1988 Anderson Mill homes rust from the inside out, restricting water flow and eventually leaking. We inspect every accessible line before we tile, and when we find failing pipe, we quote the replacement as a line item, not a surprise.
- 100-amp electrical panels that can’t support modern bathrooms. Many Anderson Mill homes still run on 100-amp service. Adding a dedicated circuit for heated floors, a whirlpool tub, or luxury lighting often requires a panel upgrade, and county inspectors won’t sign off until it’s done. We catch this during the estimate.
- Expansive clay shifting slabs under wet areas. Anderson Mill sits where Blackland Prairie clay meets Hill Country limestone. When that clay gets wet and dries out, slabs move. A bathroom that sits against an exterior wall may show cracks or a slight pitch that affects how water drains. We check before we build.
- Limestone bedrock making drain moves expensive. Moving a toilet or shower drain in Anderson Mill usually means trenching through caliche or limestone, which can double excavation time compared to sandier soil. We price that honestly up front and show you the line item. If the drain can stay put without compromising the design, we’ll tell you that too.

Never a surprise invoice. Estimates are free, so call (877) 610-1318 and let’s walk your bathroom together.
What Makes Bathroom Remodeling in Anderson Mill Different
Here’s what Anderson Mill homeowners need to know before interviewing contractors. The neighborhood is in the middle of its major-renovation window. The original 1976-1988 housing stock is now 40 to 50 years old, and that means original slab foundations, framing, and finishes are all hitting the end of their first life at the same time. Homes are overwhelmingly single-story and split-level brick-veneer on post-tension concrete slabs. That shape matters when you’re planning a bathroom because the wet areas sit directly in the slab, which means moving a drain is real work.
The bigger issue is permitting. Anderson Mill straddles unincorporated Williamson County and Travis County, and the line is not always intuitive. A bathroom remodel’s permit jurisdiction, and therefore the inspector, code cycle, and timeline, changes block by block. Williamson County permits are issued in Georgetown, which adds days to turnaround, and the county follows an IRC amendment schedule that lags Austin by a year or more. A contractor who assumes city of Austin permits apply will waste your time and may leave you with an inspection that never gets scheduled. We know which side of the line you’re on because we’ve pulled permits on both.
There’s also the soil. Anderson Mill sits at the transition between the Blackland Prairie’s expansive Vertisol clay and the limestone karst of the Hill Country. Those clay soils heave and settle through wet-dry cycles. If a bathroom remodel involves moving a wall or extending a wet area toward an exterior wall, a geotechnical assessment may be required before framing can begin. Skipping it can crack a new slab before inspection sign-off. And if you’re moving a drain, expect caliche and limestone bedrock, which can double excavation time compared to what you’d pay east of I-35. We don’t guess at that. We scope it.
On a split-level brick-veneer home off Zeppelin Drive, our crew scoped a full bathroom remodel after the homeowners showed us a failing original galvanized supply line and a 100-amp panel that couldn’t handle a new dedicated circuit. We pulled the Williamson County permit from Georgetown, scheduled the rough-in inspection around the county’s amendment cycle, and worked with a local plumber to replace the galvanized stubs before our tile crew set the new Sterling alcove tub and built the walk-in shower with a frameless glass enclosure. That job took a little longer than a cosmetic remodel, but everything passed inspection the first time and the homeowners knew every cost before it hit the invoice. That’s how we build in Anderson Mill.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Anderson Mill
Your Anderson Mill address determines the permit jurisdiction, not the contractor. Homes in unincorporated Williamson County file through the county permit office in Georgetown; homes in Travis County file through Travis County. The line runs through Anderson Mill block by block, and the wrong assumption can add days or leave you waiting on an inspector who never comes. We verify your exact jurisdiction before we quote, and we pull the correct permit from the correct office. Call (877) 610-1318 and give us your address; we’ll confirm which side of the line you’re on.
You don’t always need a geotech report, but it’s the right question. A geotech assessment becomes necessary when a bathroom remodel moves a wet area to an exterior wall, adds square footage, or places new structural load on soil. Anderson Mill’s expansive Vertisol clay heaves and settles through wet-dry cycles, and pouring a new slab without knowing the soil conditions can crack before final inspection. We request a geotech report only when the scope requires one, and we explain why in writing before adding it as a line item. To talk through your specific project, call (877) 610-1318.
In most cases, yes. We replace galvanized supply stubs at the bathroom location and cap off the failing lines without repiping the entire house. However, if your galvanized lines are heavily corroded or actively leaking, a partial repipe may be the honest recommendation because repairing just the bathroom would leave active problems behind the walls. We inspect during the estimate and show you what we found, with photos, before we ask for a decision. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate and inspection.
Anderson Mill’s limestone and caliche bedrock can double excavation time for a drain move compared to sandier soil east of I-35. That translates directly into labor hours and disposal costs. We budget for it as a specific line item before quoting, so you know exactly what a drain move costs versus keeping the existing location. If the drain move isn’t necessary for your design, we’ll tell you that too. For an exact quote, call (877) 610-1318.
If the tub-to-shower conversion changes any plumbing, electrical, or structural element, it needs a permit and inspection. In Anderson Mill, that means either a Williamson County inspection from Georgetown or a Travis County inspection, depending on your address. There’s no shortcut around it, and we don’t look for one. The inspector works for you, not for us, which is why we like him. We pull the permit, do the work to code, and schedule the inspection. If your conversion is purely cosmetic and changes no plumbing, no permit is typically required. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your specific scope requires.
