Bathroom Remodeling in Farmers Branch - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Mid-Century Ranch Bathrooms Need a Different Kind of Remodeler in Farmers Branch

Most of the bathrooms we walk into in Farmers Branch were built when Lyndon Johnson was in the White House. The homes along Josey Lane, Webb Chapel, and the streets branching off Valley View are overwhelmingly single-story brick ranches from the late 1950s through early 1970s, and their bathrooms show it: original cast iron tubs set in slabs that have shifted, tile laid over drywall that was never meant to hold moisture, and subfloor framing that’s drifted out of level over five decades of North Texas clay movement. A bathroom remodel in Farmers Branch is rarely a simple swap of fixtures. It’s more often a careful unwrapping of a room that a slab foundation has been quietly reshaping since the Nixon administration.

That’s the work we do. Barrett & Sons Construction has remodeled bathrooms across 75234 for years, and we understand what’s behind the walls of these mid-century ranches better than an out-of-town crew ever could. If you’re considering a Bathroom Remodeling project and want someone who’ll treat your 1964 ranch with respect, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

Why Farmers Branch Homeowners Call Barrett & Sons

Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, the contract, and the warranty. When you call about a Farmers Branch bathroom project, you’re not routed to a call center or handed to a rotating cast of subcontractors. Tom’s sons run the crews, and Tom is on-site most days. The crew members who show up at your door are background-checked and uniformed, and they carry the Barrett name with them on every visit.

We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. In Farmers Branch, where the housing stock is older and the slab conditions are unpredictable, that inspection layer matters more than average. The city’s inspectors know these mid-century homes, and we like it that way. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly how we want it.

Every price change arrives in writing before a single nail moves. That’s not a slogan. It’s a contract term. If an allowance changes, you get a written change order. No surprise invoices at the end. No “we discovered a problem and here’s the new number” phone call without paperwork to back it up.

We’re also the same crew that’s been doing Roofing in Farmers Branch and Windows & Doors in Farmers Branch for local families for years. When a bathroom remodel uncovers a window leak or a rotted header, we handle it in-house. One crew, one contract, one number to call.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Farmers Branch

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full bathroom remodel in Farmers Branch typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, depending largely on what we find when the old fixtures come out. In these 1950s and 1960s ranches, that often means addressing water damage behind the original tile, replacing rotted subfloor sections, and leveling a floor that’s drifted with the slab beneath it. We handle all of it: framing, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, glass. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the finished room, in writing, on every contract.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Most Farmers Branch homeowners want to lose the tub. The original tubs in these houses are cast iron, set into slabs, and surrounded by walls that have seen better decades. A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 in Farmers Branch, depending on whether we’re converting an existing footprint or expanding it. Frameless glass enclosures are the most requested finish, and we install them properly over a waterproofed, sloped pan so water goes where it should.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

For many ranch house bathrooms in Farmers Branch, a tub-to-shower conversion is the single best use of a small footprint. You’re replacing a tub that nobody soaks in with a shower that gets used every morning. Expect $3,500 to $10,000 depending on the plumbing adjustments, the surround choice, and whether we’re opening the ceiling for a rain head or adding a niche. In a 5-by-8 original hall bath, this conversion changes the entire feel of the room.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Sometimes the bones are sound, and the problem is just a tired vanity, cracked tile, and fixtures that date back to the Carter administration. Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000 in Farmers Branch. We work with tile subcontractors who understand the flatness challenges of these older walls, and we carry premium brands rather than mystery products off a van. Cambria countertops on a bathroom vanity hold up beautifully in the humidity swings Dallas throws at a house.

Trusted Brands We Service in Farmers Branch

When we install windows or doors that abut a Farmers Branch bathroom, we spec brands you can look up and verify. Simonton windows are a common choice for bathroom applications where the original 1960s single-pane units have long since fogged or rotted. PGT and Ply Gem products also show up on our jobs where they match the home’s existing profile. We stand behind whatever we install, and we don’t stock mystery brands. You’ll see the manufacturer’s warranty alongside ours, in writing, before the job starts.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Farmers Branch Homes

• Slab movement behind the walls. Dallas’s shrink-swell clay cycle is rough on these older slabs. Summer drought contracts the soil; fall rains swell it back. In Farmers Branch, where many slabs were poured before modern soil-moisture management existed, that cycle has had 50-plus years to work on the framing. Bathroom door frames are often visibly out of plumb, and that has to be assessed before tile goes up.
• Original cast iron tubs set in slab floors. These tubs are heavy, their drains are prone to corrosion, and removing one without cracking the surrounding slab takes care and patience. A demolition crew in a hurry can cause damage that a careful remodel wouldn’t trigger.
• Drywall that was never meant to hold tile. Many of these baths were tiled directly over standard drywall, with no waterproof layer. By now, many have moisture damage behind the tile that only shows itself during demo. We plan for it, price it, and document it with a written change order if the scope grows.
• Lead-era plumbing and galvanized supply lines. Homes from the 1950s and 1960s often have galvanized pipes that are rusted internally. When you open a wall for a shower valve replacement, you find the pipe walls are half their original thickness. Fixing it while the wall is open is the smart play. Leaving it is a future emergency.
