Bathroom Remodeling in Houston - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Houston

A full bathroom remodel in Houston typically runs $9,000-$28,000, with small bathrooms starting around $5,000 and walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. Houston’s clay-heavy soil, deed-restriction patchwork, and post-Harvey flood elevation rules all shape how a bathroom should be planned here beyond what any national estimate will tell you. If you live in the Heights, Montrose, or anywhere inside the loop, the way your house sits on its foundation matters more to a bathroom remodel than a showroom brochure ever will. Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will come look at your bathroom, your slab or pier-and-beam setup, and give you a written scope with real numbers.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Houston’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

We’ve been doing this since 1998, and around Houston that means we’ve remodeled bathrooms in 1920s bungalows in the Heights, 1970s ranch houses in Bellaire, and three-story townhome infill in Montrose where the neighbor’s foundation is a completely different animal from yours. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published where anyone can look them up before signing anything, and the crews running jobs are his sons and their teams, not strangers dispatched from out of town. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible bathroom remodel in Houston, because too many homeowners in this city have already been told permits were “optional” by the last contractor. A live person answers our phone at (877) 610-1318, and we’ll send a written change order before any scope change touches your job.

Houston is the largest U.S. city without traditional zoning ordinances, which sounds like a fun fact until you learn your Montrose bungalow sits under a deed restriction that municipal permits never flag. We check what your specific lot allows before we pour anything, move a wall, or reroute a drain. That step alone has saved Houston homeowners from stop-work injunctions that city hall cannot fix. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Houston

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full gut-and-rebuild in Houston runs $9,000-$28,000 depending on scope, square footage, and whether we’re moving plumbing or keeping the existing footprint. In older homes near Houston‘s Heights corridor, we often find cast-iron drain lines that have been quietly failing for decades, and that’s exactly the kind of thing that needs to be on paper before we open a wall, not after. We handle the demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish work, with every allowance in writing.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in shower installation in Houston typically lands between $4,500 and $12,000. Many older Houston homes, especially in the 77006-77009 ZIPs, have tubs that were never used and showers that were never waterproofed the way modern codes require. We use Schluter waterproofing systems on shower rebuilds because Houston’s humidity and rainfall put more moisture stress on a bathroom than a dry-climate contractor ever faces.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

A tub-to-shower conversion in Houston runs $3,500-$10,000. This is the single most requested bathroom change we do in town, especially in homes where a second bathroom needs to serve aging parents or where the original tub is a cast-iron monster from the 1950s that’s too heavy for a pier-and-beam floor that has shifted and settled for 70 years. We check joist structure and subfloor condition before we touch anything, because in Houston’s clay soil, “the floor looked fine” is not a statement we’re willing to put our name on.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Bathroom vanity installation in Houston runs $800-$3,000, and we stock premium brands like Grohe and Sterling for local customers who want parts that will still be available in ten years, not mystery fixtures off a van. We also handle tile and fixture replacement inside a remodel, and we’ll tell you honestly when a 40-year-old vanity is worth keeping or when it’s hiding rot from decades of Houston humidity.

Trusted Brands We Service in Houston

We carry and install brands you can look up: Schluter for waterproofing, Grohe and Sterling for fixtures, and GAF for the roof work that protects every bathroom we build. We keep common parts stocked for Houston customers so a broken fixture or a failed waterproofing layer doesn’t mean waiting two weeks on a backordered part. If you’ve already got a national company’s quote, bring it to us for a free second opinion, and we’ll show you exactly what they left off the paper.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Houston Homes

• Deed restriction surprises on infill lots. In the Heights and Montrose, a bathroom remodel that adds square footage or changes a roofline can violate a private deed restriction that city permits never check. We run the title search before we pour a slab or move a wall, because a neighbor-initiated injunction can stop your project cold and no city department can fix it.
• Slab and pier-and-beam shifting from Beaumont Clay. Houston’s expansive clay soil expands in wet seasons and contracts in dry ones, moving foundations inches seasonally. A shower pan or tile job that ignores this will crack within a couple of years, and we’ve seen it in homes all over 77021, 77022, 77023, and 77024. We account for movement before we set tile.
• Post-Harvey flood zone elevation requirements. FEMA remapping after Hurricane Harvey changed finished-floor elevation rules for large parts of Houston’s inner loop. If your bathroom remodel touches the floor slab or subfloor, those rules can dictate how high we build, and we pull the permit with that in mind from day one.
• Fifty-year-old plumbing hidden behind tile. Houston’s older housing stock, especially the 1920s-1940s craftsman bungalows, often has galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that are past their service life. We always budget for what we can’t see behind the wall, and we put that allowance in writing before we start, not after.
