AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Cedar Park
A full bathroom remodel in Cedar Park typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and most jobs take two to five weeks depending on whether you’re cutting into the slab. That slab is the thing most out-of-town contractors get wrong here. Barrett & Sons has remodeled bathrooms from Buttercup Creek to Forest Oaks, and we know what Cedar Park houses do over time. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through exactly what your home needs before you sign anything.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cedar Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re the owner-operated crew that’s been remodeling homes since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck. His sons run the crews. Nobody gets dispatched from an out-of-state call center, and a live person answers the phone at (877) 610-1318 24 hours a day. Cedar Park homeowners keep calling us back because we write every allowance, every change order, and every scope adjustment on paper before a single nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me; that’s why I like him.
We know the boom-era subdivisions of the 78613 corridor along Parmer Lane and Whitestone, and we know the older pockets where post-tension slabs have already moved through plenty of drought-to-rain cycles. Our crews understand that a bathroom remodel in Cedar Park is not just tile and fixtures. It’s slab movement, drainage grades, and waterproofing details that have to survive this clay. That local knowledge changes what we put in every quote.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Cedar Park
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from a full gut to a targeted shower swap. Here’s what Cedar Park homeowners ask for most often.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in a Cedar Park home usually means reworking the floor plan inside the existing footprint. If you’re moving drains, we locate post-tension cables with GPR scanning before any saw touches concrete. We pull permits, pass inspections, and hand you a written change order before any scope shift.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade in Cedar Park’s 15-to-25-year-old production homes. The old fiberglass enclosures show their age fast. We build curbless entries and low-threshold pans that work for aging-in-place, and we use flexible waterproofing systems that don’t crack open when the clay moves in July.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a garden tub to a walk-in shower in a post-tension slab home is more involved here than in most cities. The drain location usually has to move, which means cutting the slab. We GPR-scan first, re-route the drain, and install the new shower with waterproofing that passes inspection. No shortcuts, and no surprise invoice at the end.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities, tile, and fixtures in Cedar Park bathrooms of every size, from small powder rooms in Forest Oaks to master suites in Buttercup Creek. We stock premium brands like Grohe and Sterling, and we’re honest about which materials stand up to this climate. Tile over a moving slab needs a movement-tolerant backer, not the cheapest board on the shelf.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cedar Park
We carry materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. Our Cedar Park bathroom remodels commonly include Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling fixtures, and Grohe hardware.

If you want a specific brand or finish, we’ll order it and show you the invoice.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Cedar Park Homes
- Post-tension slabs cut without GPR scanning. Cheap crews skip this and snap a steel cable, which can shear the foundation and void the structural warranty. We scan every slab cut, every time.
- Settled drainage grades around the foundation. In 78613 boom-era homes, perimeter grades often settled toward the slab instead of away from it. Moisture wicks into new subfloor and tile from below, and grout fails within one drought-to-rain cycle.
- Standard waterproofing on shrink-swell clay. Cedar Park’s expansive clay opens hairline shower pan seams when it cycles between wet and dry. We use flexible membrane systems built for movement, not the cheapest one-size-fits-all detail.
- Builder-grade fixtures from the early 2000s. Original valves, supply lines, and tub surrounds in 15-to-25-year-old Cedar Park homes are at the end of their useful life. We replace them before they fail, not after.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Cedar Park
Yes, if the move means cutting into a post-tension slab, a GPR scan is not optional. Cedar Park’s dominant housing stock is post-tension concrete, and the steel cables are tensioned to thousands of pounds. Snapping one can shear the foundation. Any contractor who says the scan is unnecessary is not someone you want cutting your slab. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain what your specific layout requires.
The difference is usually in what’s not itemized. A cheap quote often omits GPR scanning, perimeter drainage correction, post-tension-safe plumbing re-routes, and flexible waterproofing. A complete Cedar Park quote includes those line items because they’re the difference between a bathroom that lasts and one that fails in the first drought-to-rain cycle. We send written change orders so the price you sign is the price you pay.
Sometimes, if the existing tub drain location works for the new shower and the slope allows it. More often in Cedar Park homes, the tub drain is too far from the new shower center, and a new P-trap is needed. That means opening the slab. We GPR-scan, locate the steel, then cut carefully and re-route. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free on-site evaluation.
Expansive clay moves with moisture. It shrinks in drought and swells after rain, and that movement transmits through the slab into the shower pan and wall junctions. Standard waterproofing details crack open. We specify flexible membrane systems like Schluter that tolerate small movement, and we install movement-tolerant tile backers so grout lines don’t fail. A cheap quote skips this; the grout fails; you pay twice.
Possibly, and it also matters for any future claim. Cedar Park sits in a hail corridor, and insurers increasingly want documentation that remodel work met current local code, including exterior envelope and any structural work tied to the bathroom. We pull permits on every eligible job and keep signed inspection records. If you ever file a claim, a permitted, inspected remodel puts you in a much stronger position. Call (877) 610-1318 for details.
This page shows you exactly what a Cedar Park bathroom remodel must include to survive post-tension slab movement, expansive clay, and storm-driven code, so you don’t sign a quote that looks cheap but fails the first drought-to-rain cycle.
