AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Humble
Bathroom remodeling in Humble, TX typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500-$12,000. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve spent nearly three decades remodeling bathrooms across the 77338, 77346, 77347, and 77396 ZIP codes. You’ll find us at the hardware store on Saturday morning, not behind an out-of-state call center. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and Tom Barrett will answer the phone himself.
Humble isn’t like Sugar Land or Pearland. Our flat ground, black clay soil, and position in the San Jacinto East Fork drainage basin create specific problems for bathrooms that a contractor from across town won’t know to look for. You need someone who understands Humble homes, not someone reading a franchise manual.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Humble’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That means the name on the truck is the name on the invoice, and the person who walks your job site is the person you’ll bump into at the Kroger on FM 1960. We’re not dispatching strangers from a Houston office. We live in the same drainage basin you do.
Our promise is simple and it’s printed on every contract we write: the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right after the job is finished, one call brings Tom back. That matters when your bathroom has already been through a Harvey patch job and you’re scared to trust anyone again. We also publish every scope, allowance, and price change as a written change order before work proceeds. No surprise invoices at the end, because an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
And we pull permits on every eligible job. Permits aren’t optional, even when a previous contractor told you they were. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why I want him on site.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Humble
We offer the full range of Bathroom Remodeling services, but in Humble we emphasize the jobs that our local housing stock actually demands. Here’s what most homeowners call us for.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Humble means pulling the room to the studs and rebuilding it the way it should have been built the first time. In the 77346 corridor, that often means addressing what’s behind the drywall before we even talk about tile. We check for hidden flood damage, replace rotted subfloor, and install a moisture barrier before we set a single fixture. Full remodels run $9,000-$28,000 depending on size and material choices.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade in Humble, and for good reason. They’re easier to enter for homeowners over 55, they’re far simpler to clean than a garden tub, and they respond better to our humid climate. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500-$12,000. We set new acrylic or tile bases on raised, moisture-barriered foundations, because in Humble you should never install a shower pan directly on a slab without a barrier.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Humble runs $3,500-$10,000. This is the most common project we do in 1980s and 1990s Atascocita homes, where the original garden tub is either water-damaged or simply no longer needed. We handle the drain line correctly, install pressure-balancing valves, and make sure the new enclosure meets Harris County’s wind-load requirements.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation runs $800-$3,000. Tile work varies by square footage, but we quote it in writing before any thinset is mixed. Fixture installation is included in most full remodels, but we also do standalone fixture swaps. No brand confusion here: we install Moen, Delta, and Kohler by name, and they’re written in your contract.

Trusted Brands We Service in Humble
We stock and install premium brands you can look up yourself. For shower enclosures and our Windows & Doors in Humble that go with your bathroom remodel, we carry Simonton and PGT products. For tubs and shower pans, we work with solid, name-brand acrylic manufacturers. We don’t bring mystery brands off a van. You’ll see the exact product name and model on your written quote, and you can walk into any supply house in Humble and verify it yourself. If you’re replacing a window in your bathroom, we can install impact-rated glass from PGT or Simonton that meets Harris County wind-load code.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Humble Homes
Here’s what we actually find when we open walls in Humble bathrooms:
- Hidden flood line behind drywall: Homes in 77338 and 77346 were often gutted to the studs after Harvey and rebuilt fast, without structural elevation. When we open those walls, we find old water marks and compromised framing that needs addressed before new tile goes up.
- Swelled subfloor under the tub: Black clay soil expands and contracts, and repeated standing water from our drainage basin means the subfloor under an old garden tub may be rotted. You won’t know until the tub comes out, but we plan for it in every Humble quote.
- No moisture barrier on the slab: Bathrooms in 1990s slab-on-grade homes often have tile set directly on concrete with no barrier. In our climate, that’s a recipe for grout failure and moisture wicking up through the slab.
- Diagonal wall cracks from soil movement: When a frameless glass shower enclosure is installed on a wall that’s already cracking from the black clay shifting, the panels leak within the first wet season. We check wall stability before quoting any enclosure.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Humble
It depends on your FEMA flood zone and whether your bathroom remodel disturbs structural framing or subfloor. If we’re gutting to the studs and replacing a rotted subfloor, Harris County often requires documentation that the finished floor height meets current freeboard requirements above base flood elevation. We can pull that certificate for you, and if the height is short, we’ll discuss your options before we pull permits. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your specific address.
Humble falls under Harris County wind-load requirements, which for bathroom window and enclosure openings means a design pressure rating appropriate for our hurricane-prone coastal geography. For a bathroom window replacement we typically specify PGT or Simonton impact-rated units. For frameless glass shower enclosures, the anchoring and structural support must accommodate wall movement from black clay soil. We’ll quote the exact rating on your written change order so there’s no ambiguity at inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 for specifics.
A documented bathroom remodel with proper elevation certificates and moisture barriers shows your insurer that the home is being maintained to post-Harvey standards. In some cases, that documentation can help when you renew or appeal a premium assessment. What it definitely does is keep your home compliant and insurable. We provide all documentation at completion, and we recommend you file it with your policy. That’s part of doing the job right in Humble.
If your bathroom walls show diagonal cracks or the floor has a visible slope, we’ll check slab level before we set any fixtures or tile. Black clay soil here shifts between wet and dry seasons, and an unlevel slab will ruin a new shower pan or crack new tile within a year or two. We’ll tell you honestly whether re-leveling is needed, and we’ll quote it as a separate written line item, never as a surprise add-on. Call (877) 610-1318 to have us check your slab.
Yes, a tub-to-shower conversion can legally reuse the existing drain location, provided the new shower base is properly sloped and the drain line is verified clear. We do this all the time in the Atascocita corridor off FM 1960. The issue is usually not the drain but the subfloor and moisture barrier. In a 1990s slab home that’s been through standing water events, that subfloor may be compromised, and the floor height may need to meet current floodplain elevation requirements. We’ll verify before we pull permits. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free assessment.
Call Barrett & Sons for Your Humble Bathroom Remodel
We remodeled a primary bathroom in a 1990s Atascocita slab home off Farm to Market 1960, where the garden tub had been badly water-damaged by repeated standing-water events. Our crew gutted to the studs, replaced a rotted subfloor, installed a Moen valve system with pressure-balancing, and set a new acrylic walk-in shower on a raised, moisture-barriered base. Then we scheduled the Harris County inspection sign-off before any tile closed the walls. That’s how it gets done in Humble.
