AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lantana
A full bathroom remodel in Lantana typically runs $9,000-$28,000, with smaller guest baths landing between $5,000 and $12,000. Most of the work we do here involves replacing builder-grade fixtures in homes built between 2003 and 2015, and that comes with a specific set of rules most contractors never mention. Before you sign anything, know this: any remodel that moves a drain or vent line under your slab in Lantana requires a post-tension cable scan before one inch of concrete gets cut. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your project with Tom Barrett directly, not a call center.
Quick takeaway for Lantana homeowners:
- A tub-to-shower conversion in Lantana runs $3,500-$10,000, and it is the single most requested remodel we do in this community.
- Permits here are a two-layer process: the Architectural Review Committee plus Denton County. Skipping either one will come back on you at resale.
- Every Lantana foundation we have worked on is post-tensioned. Cable scans are not optional. Ever.
- Original 2000s rough-ins, including undersized supply lines and aging polybutylene, need upsizing before you add high-flow fixtures.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lantana’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. What that means in Lantana is simple: the man who writes your contract is the same man who walks your job site, and his sons run the crews. You will never see a stranger with a Barrett & Sons shirt who was dispatched from out of state. The crew members who work in your bathroom carry the Barrett name, and they are background-checked and uniformed on every visit.
We have rebuilt enough bathrooms in Lantana to know what lives behind the tile in these homes. The original builder-grade Moen valve bodies from the mid-2000s are failing now, and we find leaks that have been quietly working into slab edges for years. That is not a scare tactic. It is what we see on an alarming number of tear-outs. We also deal directly with the Architectural Review Committee on interior remodel permit sets, and we know what gets flagged and what sails through. If you want to look us up first, Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from first demo to final trim, and we work inside Lantana’s dual-review process without making you chase paperwork. One call to (877) 610-1318 gets you a straight answer, a written scope, and a price that does not change unless it arrives as a written change order first.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lantana
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the workhorse remodel for Lantana’s 2000s-era homes. The original fiberglass tub-and-shower surrounds are dated, and the cast-iron or steel tubs in the secondary baths are cracking at the drain flanges. A tub-to-shower conversion in Lantana typically runs $3,500-$10,000, depending on whether you want a prefabricated pan or a custom tile base. Here is the Lantana-specific part: if we are moving the drain from the tub location to a centered shower configuration, that requires cutting the post-tension slab. We scan before we cut, every time, and the scan report goes in your project file.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in showers are what most Lantana homeowners actually want once they see the options. Curbless entry, linear drains, frameless glass, a bench, a niche for the shampoo bottles. Installation runs $4,500-$12,000 in this market. The catch with curbless showers in Lantana is floor depth: because these slabs are post-tensioned, lowering the subfloor to recess a curbless pan is trickier than in a crawl-space home. We can typically recess the pan within the existing slab depth as long as the cable scan confirms we have clearance. If we do not have clearance, we will tell you before you spend a dollar on tile.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Guest baths, powder rooms, and the half-bath off the laundry in Lantana’s floor plans are usually 40 to 60 square feet. A small bathroom remodel in Lantana lands between $5,000 and $12,000. That range covers a new vanity, new toilet, new tile floor, new light fixture, and either a shower refresh or a tub refinish, depending on what is there now. We do not upcharge these jobs. A small bathroom gets the same written change order process, the same permits, and the same 90-Day Done Right Promise as a primary bath.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Some Lantana homeowners are not ready for a full gut. They want the original flat-panel oak vanity gone and something clean put in, plus tile that does not look like 2007. Vanity installation runs $800-$3,000 depending on size and whether you need plumbing adjusted. Tile work is quoted per square foot after we see the substrate. Fixtures are the quiet upgrade most people underestimate: a new Kohler or Delta valve body, new trim, and properly balanced supply lines change how a shower feels more than any tile choice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We install brands you can look up. In bathrooms, that means Kohler and Moen valve bodies, Delta fixtures, Schluter waterproofing systems for tile showers, and frameless glass enclosures from local fabricators we have worked with for over a decade. On the window side, when a Lantana bathroom needs a privacy window or a smaller emergency egress unit, we carry PGT, CGI, and Simonton. You will never see a mystery brand off the back of a van on a Barrett & Sons job. If the brand is not one we would put in our own homes, it does not go in yours.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Post-tension slab cable stress. These North Texas clay soils expand and contract dramatically, and Lantana homes are 15 to 20 years old now. The slab movement we see under bathrooms shows up as hairline tile cracks, grout popping out, and toilets that rock slightly. Before any remodel work, we check for slab movement. If we find it, we talk about it honestly before you spend money on tile that might crack again.
- Failed builder-grade shower valves. The original Moen or Delta rough-ins in these 2000s homes are hitting the end of their service life. We frequently open walls to find slow leaks that have been soaking the slab edge and the bottom plate for years. The fix is a new rough-in valve body, not a trim kit swap on a failing unit.
- Undersized supply lines. Many of these original homes were plumbed with 1/2-inch lines throughout, which was fine for a basic showerhead in 2005. The moment you add a rain head, body sprays, or a handheld, pressure drops. We upsize supply lines when the wall is open and tell you exactly what the water flow will do before we start.
- Dual-permit delays. Because Lantana has both the Architectural Review Committee and Denton County involved, interior remodels that touch plumbing or electrical each need their sign-off. We handle the filing, the scheduling, and the inspections, and we tell you the realistic timeline up front. Unpermitted bathroom work gets flagged at resale in this community more than in surrounding towns.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Lantana
For most interior-only bathroom remodels, the Architectural Review Committee does not require a full design review, but you still need Denton County permits for any plumbing, electrical, or structural work, and the ARC may require notification or a copy of the permit set if work touches shared systems. We file both layers for you so there is no confusion at resale. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will tell you exactly what your specific project needs.
Yes, if the work is done correctly. The critical step is a post-tension cable scan before any concrete cutting for the new drain location. Severing a tensioned cable can cause irreversible structural damage, and the original builder’s engineering specs make that an immediate warranty and liability issue. We scan every slab we cut in Lantana, and the scan report stays in your file. That is how you protect the warranty. Get a free estimate at (877) 610-1318.
That bounce usually means the subfloor or the tile underlayment has been compromised by a slow leak at the toilet flange or the tub overflow. Moisture rots the subfloor from below, and you feel the flex before you see the damage. During a remodel, we open the floor, replace the damaged sections, and set a new flange and waterproofing system before new tile goes down. The fix is permanent, not a patch. Call (877) 610-1318 to have us take a look.
A typical $9,000-$28,000 Lantana bathroom remodel spans 4 to 8 weeks, depending on tile lead times and inspection scheduling. Our draw schedule is written into the contract before we start: a deposit, a materials draw, a mid-project draw at rough-in inspection, and a final payment only after the county inspector signs off and you walk the job with Tom or one of his sons. No surprise invoices. Ever. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written scope and schedule.
You should not panic, but you should ask the question. The shrink-swell clay under Lantana puts continuous stress on post-tension slabs, and we do see tile cracking in the original 2000s floors. Before we lay new tile, we evaluate the slab for movement and check for any structural signs that need addressing first. If the slab is stable, proper underlayment and flexible thinset will give you decades of crack-free tile. If it is not stable, we will tell you before you spend money. Call (877) 610-1318 to start the conversation.
