AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Murphy
Bathroom remodeling in Murphy typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full project, and most homeowners here are doing it right around the 15-year mark, when builder-grade fixtures and shower pans start failing in predictable ways. If you live in Murphy off East Farm to Market 544 or tucked into a subdivision near Murphy Road and Betsy Lane, you’ve probably seen the same signs: cracked grout, a vanity swelling at the base, a tub surround that won’t stay caulked. Barrett & Sons Construction has been remodeling bathrooms across Collin County since 1998. We know these homes, we know the HOA boards, and we know the foundation quirks underneath them. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett will pick up.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Murphy’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise sending dispatchers to Murphy. Tom Barrett owns the company, his sons run the crews, and they live close enough to be at the job site most days. That changes how a remodel goes. When the tile setter has a question about a curb height, the answer comes from someone whose name is on the truck, not from a call center in another state.
Murphy homeowners keep telling us the same thing: the last contractor they used quoted one price on the phone and handed them another bill at walkthrough. That’s why every scope, every allowance, every price change at Barrett & Sons arrives as a written change order before work happens. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we like it that way. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job in Murphy, because we’ve had enough conversations with neighbors off North Murphy Road who were told permits were optional.
Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can verify everything before you sign anything, and if something isn’t right after the job, our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. One call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Murphy
A quick note on scope: our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from a single shower swap to a full gut with layout changes. Here’s what we see most often in Murphy’s 2000s-era master-planned homes.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
Most full remodels in Murphy start with a builder-grade bathroom that’s fifteen years old and showing it. We demo to the studs, address any water damage behind the walls, and rebuild with a layout that actually fits how you use the room. Because nearly every Murphy home sits on a concrete slab with Blackland Prairie clay underneath it, we check door frames and wall planes for foundation movement before we set anything in tile. A quarter-inch shift in a slab becomes a visible crack in a grout line within a year if you don’t account for it.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
If you live in a home built between 2003 and 2012 in Murphy, your shower pan is probably fiberglass or acrylic, and it’s probably nearing the end of its life. We regularly tear out shower pans in subdivisions along Betsy Lane and find hairline cracks underneath that have been leaking into the slab for months. Replacing it with a properly sloped, properly waterproofed walk-in shower stops the leak and gives you a shower you can stay in for the next twenty years. Walk-in shower installation in Murphy runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on tile and glass choices.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Murphy’s original floor plans leaned hard on tub/shower combos, even in primary bathrooms. We’re converting more of those than anything else right now. It’s the fastest way to make a small bathroom feel twice as big, and it’s often the better call if you’re aging in place and don’t want to step over a tub wall every morning. Tub-to-shower conversion in Murphy typically runs $3,500-$10,000, and most of them wrap up inside a week.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the shower is fine and the vanity is the problem. Builder-grade vanities in Murphy homes are usually particleboard boxes with a glued-on front, and after a decade and a half of Collin County humidity swings, the doors stop closing square. We replace them with solid plywood boxes and dovetailed drawers you can’t buy off a big-box shelf. We also set tile, install frameless glass enclosures, and replace fixtures. Bathroom vanity installation runs $800-$3,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Murphy
We stock parts for major brands Murphy’s plumbers and original builders installed in the 2000s, so we’re not waiting on a warehouse in Dallas when a valve stem fails mid-project. If you want an upgrade, we carry Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers for shower floors and accent walls, and we can order matching tile lines same-week. We’d rather install brands you can look up online than mystery labels off a van. If you’re already planning exterior work to go with the remodel, our team also handles Windows & Doors in Murphy, and plenty of homeowners coordinate both while the tile is out anyway. And if a storm took your roof and the leak reached the ceiling below, we’d point you to Roofing in Murphy first, then fix the water damage inside.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Murphy Homes
- Foundation movement cracking tile and drywall. Murphy sits on expansive Blackland Prairie clay that shrinks in summer drought and heaves in wet winters. Every remodel we do starts by checking whether the slab has moved, because setting tile on a moving substrate guarantees cracked grout within a season.
- Builder-grade shower pans failing at the 12-15 year mark. In homes built by Centex, KB Home, and David Weekley during Murphy’s 2000s buildout, the acrylic and fiberglass pans were installed fast. Hairline cracks and loose drains are so common we can usually predict which subdivisions need it based on the phase of the neighborhood.
- HOA approval delays on visible changes. Murphy’s master-planned communities have covenants on exterior materials and colors. If your remodel moves a window, changes a vent, or touches anything visible from the street, we file the paperwork before we pull a permit, so you’re not waiting three weeks with a gutted bathroom.
- Water damage hiding behind builder tile. Nearly every Murphy home of this era used drywall behind the shower tile, not cement board. Once the grout fails, water gets behind the wall and feeds mold for months before you see it. If you smell something musty in a bathroom near North Murphy Road or FM 544, we’d rather open the wall and check than cover it with new tile.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Murphy
Most Murphy remodels start within two to three weeks of the signed contract, and a live person answers our phone 24/7. We don’t dispatch from a call center; when you call (877) 610-1318, you reach someone who knows the Murphy job board. For a faster start, call on a Monday and we can usually be at your door for the estimate by midweek.
Yes. We work all over the 75094 zip code, including neighborhoods along East FM 544, Murphy Road, Betsy Lane, and North Murphy Road, and we also handle Murphy Driveway & Pavers projects. If you’re in a master-planned community with an active HOA, we’ve likely already done a remodel on your street or one built in the same phase.
No, unless you sign a written change order. That’s not a promise we make lightly; it’s the policy. If we open a wall in Murphy and find rotted framing or an unexpected slab issue, we walk you through it, show you the problem, and hand you a change order with a number on it before we do anything. You decide, not us. If you want to compare, our free second opinion offer applies to any written estimate from another contractor.
Not meaningfully. A bathroom remodel in Murphy runs $9,000-$28,000, which is in line with Sachse, Wylie, Lucas, and Plano. The thing that pushes cost in Murphy is HOA approval paperwork and the occasional foundation-related repair. Neither adds cost by itself; they add time and a few hundred dollars if we need to file architectural review documents. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote after we see the room.
Every Barrett & Sons bathroom remodel carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written into the contract. If something isn’t done right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right with one call. Our workmanship also carries the manufacturer warranties for the materials we install. We don’t hide behind subcontractor fine print.
