We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been remodeling bathrooms in Carrollton long enough to know exactly what’s behind the sheetrock in every decade of housing this city has. From the 1960s ranches near Old Town to the 1990s two-story colonials off Hebron Parkway, the bones of a Carrollton home tell a story before we even open a wall. That matters, because what we find once we do open the wall is where most bathroom quotes either hold steady or fall apart. We write it all down, price it in writing, and you approve every change before we touch it.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Carrollton’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Our Bathroom Remodeling team has worked in Carrollton’s 75006, 75007, 75010, and 75011 ZIP codes for years. The houses in southern Carrollton near Josey Lane and Belt Line are a different animal from the subdivisions up around Hebron and Marsh. A contractor who only knows new construction will open a 1968 hall bath and freeze when he sees the cast-iron vent stack or the slab crack running under the old tile. We don’t freeze. We document it, price it, and put it in front of you on paper before we reach for a tool.
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run crews in Carrollton today. That means the name on the truck is the name you’ll see at the job site, not a franchise logo with a rotating cast of subcontractors. When a Carrollton homeowner calls us, a live person answers, day or night. And when we finish a bathroom, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract: if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Carrollton
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Carrollton means demo to the studs, new rough-in plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, vanity, lighting, and trim. On pre-1980 homes in the 75006 ZIP, that almost always includes bringing wiring up to code so new GFCI circuits and a properly vented exhaust fan can pass inspection. We scope the electrical, the plumbing, and the tile in writing before demo day.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Carrollton runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, tile selection, and whether we’re converting a tub footprint or expanding the shower area. Many Carrollton homeowners on slab foundations choose a curbless or low-curb shower to avoid step-over height as they age in place. Before we set tile, we check the slab for cracks from Blackland Prairie soil movement. Tile over a moving slab cracks within a year, so foundation stability gets addressed first.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in Carrollton runs $3,500 to $10,000 and is one of the most common projects we do for homeowners in their 50s and 60s who no longer use the tub. The conversion involves removing the tub, adjusting the drain line from 1-1/2″ to 2″, waterproofing the alcove, and installing the shower pan and surround. In older Carrollton homes, the original drain and vent lines are often cast iron and half a century old, so we inspect them and upgrade where needed.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Carrollton runs $800 to $3,000, depending on whether it’s a standalone swap or a built-in with new plumbing locations. Tile and fixture selection is where homeowners put their mark on the space, and we carry samples and material pricing on named brands so you can look up exactly what you’re paying for. No mystery brands off a van. Every allowance is written into the contract, and if you pick something that costs more, you see the change order before we order it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Carrollton
We install and service materials from brands you can research yourself, and we keep common parts and finishes stocked for fast turnaround on Carrollton projects. When a homeowner asks about paver or hardscape brands for a bathroom-adjacent project, we point them to names like Belgard and Techo-Bloc, which carry real warranty documentation and are easy to verify. For tile, fixtures, and vanities, we work with the same principle: named products with traceable specs, never off-brand fill-ins. Your bathroom is a five-figure decision. You should know exactly what’s going into it.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Carrollton Homes
- Slab cracks and floor movement under old tile. Carrollton sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay, and decades of drought-to-storm cycles have worked on the slabs under half the homes in town. Tile installed over an unstable slab cracks within a year, so we inspect and address the substrate before setting anything.
- Outdated electrical panels on pre-1980 homes. In the 75006 ZIP especially, opening a bathroom wall often reveals a 60-amp panel or aluminum branch wiring that can’t legally support new GFCI circuits and code-required exhaust fans. The permit triggers the upgrade, and we include that in the scope from the start.
- Cast-iron drain and vent lines past their service life. A vanity swap over original cast-iron drains can leave slow drainage or sewer gas in the new bathroom. We camera-inspect drains and write upgrades into the allowance before cosmetic work covers them.
- Old Town Carrollton architectural review surprises. Remodeling a bathroom in the historic district near Belt Line and Denton Drive may require exterior-adjacent materials to align with preservation guidelines. Out-of-area builders miss this step and their homeowners pay to redo work. We handle the review ahead of permit submission.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Carrollton
Because Carrollton sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay, and older slabs in southern ZIP codes like 75006 have spent fifty-plus years absorbing and releasing moisture between drought and storm season. A slab with movement will crack any new tile we set on top of it, so we inspect the foundation before tile work and include any necessary stabilization in the written scope. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that accounts for your slab’s actual condition.
If your home is in the designated historic district centered near Belt Line and Denton Drive, any work touching an exterior wall, window, or visible roofline requires architectural review before the permit is approved. That review can add weeks to the timeline and may restrict materials or massing on exterior-adjacent work. We submit the review package before we ever order materials, so you’re not paying to redo work after a permit rejection. Call (877) 610-1318 to confirm whether your address falls inside the district.
Aluminum branch wiring, notched load-bearing headers, cast-iron drains, and subfloor damage from slab movement. In a 1969 slab-on-grade ranch near Old Town, our crew opened a hall bath wall and found not only aluminum branch wiring but a load-bearing header that had been notched decades ago for a vent stack. We wrote a change order to sister the framing, brought the rough-in up to code with new copper and a dedicated GFCI circuit, and replaced the compromised subfloor before tile. The inspector signed off, and the homeowner’s final cost stayed inside the allowance we had set at contract. Call (877) 610-1318 to get your own written allowance before we open a single wall.
Homes in Carrollton’s northern ZIPs, especially 75007 and 75010, took widespread freeze damage during Uri to pipe chases, exterior sheathing, and insulation around plumbing runs. If your bathroom sits against an exterior wall, we inspect those areas before setting tile or closing walls, because frozen and burst supply lines from that storm left hidden damage in a lot of houses. The fix is usually straightforward, but it has to happen before finish work goes in. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check as part of your free estimate.
For a full bathroom remodel with plumbing and electrical changes, expect a rough-in inspection after the rough plumbing and wiring are complete and before walls are closed, then a final inspection once fixtures, waterproofing, and finishes are in. Most Carrollton jobs pass rough-in on the first visit when the permit scope was accurate from the start, which is exactly why we pull permits and write the electrical and plumbing scope correctly the first time. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and a clean sign-off means your shower is cleared for use. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through the inspection timeline for your specific project.
