AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Irving
A full bathroom remodel in Irving typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000 and walk-in shower installation ranging from $4,500 to $12,000. Those are real numbers from real jobs we’ve scoped in the 75014 through 75017 ZIP codes, not national averages you’d get from a franchise call center. Our roofing and remodeling crews know the difference between a 1960s slab-on-grade tract home off Belt Line Road and a two-story master-planned build in Valley Ranch, because we work in both every month. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your exact floor plan before we ever talk price.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Irving’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons has been owner-operated since 1998, and the owner’s sons run our crews. That matters in Irving because the man whose name is on the truck is the same man who walks your job site in Las Colinas, in the Heritage District, or off MacArthur Boulevard. We don’t dispatch strangers from a regional office. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything.
Our Irving customers call us because the last contractor they hired quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. We don’t do that. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every material substitution arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back, one call. No forms, no claims department, no runaround.
We answer our own phone, 24/7. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. A live person picks up, takes your address, and schedules your free estimate. For a bathroom remodel in Irving, that means we can walk your subfloor, your drain lines, and your rough-in spacing before we ever quote a vanity or a shower pan.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Irving
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles the full scope, from tear-out to trim. In Irving, that means planning around the Blackland Prairie clay under your slab and the HOA architectural committee in your master-planned community. Here are the services Irving homeowners call us for most:
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel means we pull everything to the studs and rebuild it right. In Irving, that often means replacing cast-iron drain lines from the 1950s and 1960s that have been quietly failing under west Irving slabs. We pull permits on every eligible job, and we pass the inspection sign-off before your new tile goes down. Expect $9,000 to $28,000 depending on square footage, fixture brands, and whether we’re moving walls or plumbing.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade in Irving, especially in homes where the original tub surround has outlived its usefulness. We install frameless glass enclosures, curbless entries for aging-in-place, and low-threshold pans that don’t require a step. On Irving’s clay soil, we check the subfloor for heave before setting any pan. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 in this market.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in an Irving home usually runs $3,500 to $10,000, depending on whether we’re reusing the existing drain location or moving the rough-in. In older 75060-era homes, the rough-in spacing rarely matches current code, so we account for that before you pick tile. We also flag whether your tub surround has hidden moisture damage behind the old tile, which is common after decades of Irving’s dry-summer, rainy-fall cycles.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000 in Irving. The big variable is whether your existing rough-in works with standard 36-inch cabinets or whether we need to adjust plumbing centers. On tile, we use uncoupling membranes as standard practice on slab-on-grade Irving homes, because the clay movement will crack a mortar bed if you skip that step. We stock the premium brands you can look up: Kohler, Delta, Moen, and KraftMaid for vanities.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
We install brands with a name you can verify, not mystery products off the back of a van. For showers and tubs we stock Kohler, Delta, and Moen. For vanities, KraftMaid. For window replacements that often accompany a bathroom remodel where the current window is rotted or undersized, we install Andersen and Marvin. That matters in Irving’s humid, hot summers, where a cheap vinyl window next to a steam shower fails early. Our crews carry replacement parts for these brands so a warranty claim doesn’t mean waiting two weeks for a shipment.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Irving Homes
Irving’s housing stock has a specific set of failure patterns. We see these constantly:
- Subfloor heave on Blackland Prairie clay: Irving sits on expansive montmorillonite clay that shrinks in summer droughts and heaves with fall rain. If the subfloor isn’t stabilized before new tile goes down, you’ll see cracked grout and leaking shower pans within the first wet-dry cycle.
- Rough-in spacing that doesn’t match modern fixtures: 1950s and 1960s tract homes in west Irving were built around cast-iron drains and different spacing standards. Ordering a standard vanity or shower pan without checking rough-in measurements forces a return trip, a punch list delay, and an extra change order.
- HOA architectural committee conflicts: In Las Colinas and other master-planned Irving communities, skipping the HOA’s design review before a remodel can void your builder warranty and trigger a stop-work order. We submit plans first, every time.
- Asbestos and lead paint in older homes: Irving homes built before 1978 often contain lead paint, and many 1950s bathrooms have asbestos in old vinyl flooring. Testing and safe removal isn’t optional. We coordinate licensed abatement when it’s required.

These ranges reflect what you’ll actually pay in Irving’s market, not what a national chain advertises to get you on the phone. Your price depends on whether you’re moving plumbing, what condition your subfloor is in, whether we’re re-tiling a 40-square-foot powder room or a 90-square-foot master bath, and which brands you choose. We give you a written line-item quote before you sign anything, and any change is a written change order. That’s how we avoid the surprise invoice you got from the last contractor.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Irving
Yes. The City of Irving requires a plumbing permit for any shower valve replacement, drain change, or water line modification, even when the fixture stays in the same location. We pull that permit before rough-in, schedule the inspection, and we don’t cover the work until the inspector signs off. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we like him.
A written scope that covers subfloor stabilization before tile installation. On Irving’s expansive clay, we check for slab heave and address it with self-leveling compound or a proper uncoupling membrane. If your contract doesn’t mention subfloor prep or clay movement in writing, the contractor hasn’t thought about your soil. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain exactly what your slab needs.
You need written approval from your HOA’s architectural committee before any interior remodel that changes plumbing, electrical, or wall configurations. Some Las Colinas HOAs also require notice for changes visible from the street, like window replacement. We submit the plans, the material specs, and the scope on your behalf. Skipping this step can void your builder warranty and halt the job mid-remodel. A change order can fix a scope change; an HOA violation can’t be fixed by one.
For a 1950s to 1970s tract home in west Irving, plan $800 to $3,000 for the vanity, $800 to $2,500 for tile and backsplash, and $400 to $1,500 for fixtures depending on brand and finish. That’s a realistic allowance range, and we put every allowance in writing before the job starts. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
We test before we tear. If asbestos is present in vinyl flooring or insulation, a licensed abatement contractor handles removal under the required protocols before our crew begins. Lead paint gets the same treatment on pre-1978 homes. We don’t cut corners on this, not in a 1950s bathroom in Irving where the risk is real and the health exposure isn’t worth the shortcut.
