New Territory isn’t just another Fort Bend County subdivision. Every home here was built during one concentrated window, late 1980s to mid-1990s, and every bathroom in the neighborhood has hit the same age at the same time. That means the same original plumbing fixtures, the same calcified valves, the same tired tile, and the same HOA rulebook. We know both the houses and the process here. You call, a live person answers, and an estimate follows. Call (877) 610-1318.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is New Territory’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998 backed by his sons on the crew, and he still publishes his name, his address, and his license number for anyone to look up before signing a contract. That’s how we’ve operated for over 29 years, and it’s why New Territory homeowners call us when their original 1990s bathrooms finally give out.
We walk every New Territory job with the HOA rulebook in mind. The architectural review board here regulates exterior wall penetrations, window styles, and vent hood finishes, and most generic remodelers don’t think about that until the stop-work notice shows up. We file the HOA application before we file the Fort Bend County permit, so neither one stalls the other. That’s not a sales pitch; it’s how we’ve kept jobs moving through review without leaving a homeowner with a half-torn-apart bathroom and a committee meeting three weeks out.
Our crews aren’t subcontractors dispatched from some out-of-state call center. Tom’s sons run the crews, they show up in uniform, and they’re background-checked. Every scope change comes as a written change order before work proceeds. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. And every completed job is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written right on the contract. If it’s not right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in New Territory
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in New Territory means something specific: pulling a 1993-era three-piece bath apart and rebuilding it around how you actually use the space. That’s new tile, new fixtures, new ventilation, often a new layout. Because so many New Territory homes share the same post-tension slab construction, moving a drain line takes planning and an engineering review before we ever touch concrete. We handle that with the permit package. Expect $9,000-$28,000 depending on fixtures, tile, and whether you’re moving plumbing.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most common request we get in New Territory, and for good reason. Homeowners in their 50s and 60s want a curbless entry and a bench, not a tub wall to step over. A walk-in shower installation here runs $4,500-$12,000, with Schluter waterproofing systems standard on our jobs so the Fort Bend County inspector can see it’s done right before the walls close. If your shower changes the exterior vent layout, the HOA needs to see it first. We file that application for you.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower in New Territory costs $3,500-$10,000, and it’s one of the highest-value changes you can make to an aging 1990s bathroom. The catch here is the HOA. Any changes to plumbing vents or exterior penetrations require architectural review board approval before we pull the county permit. We’ve seen homeowners and fly-by-night contractors skip that step and get stop-work notices during rough-in. Don’t be that job. We file the application with your scope, including the exterior vent hood finish, before demolition starts.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity replacement, tile work, and new fixtures are the fast wins in a New Territory bathroom. A new vanity runs $800-$3,000 installed, and we stock Grohe and Sterling fixtures so you’re not waiting on a special-order faucet for three weeks. What we’ve learned from years of New Territory jobs: the original 1990s builder-grade vanities were particle-board boxes that swell and delaminate from shower steam. Replacing them isn’t cosmetic; it’s structural in most cases.

Trusted Brands We Service in New Territory
We carry and install brands you can look up: Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling plumbing fixtures, Grohe faucets and valves, and GAF roofing materials when a bathroom remodel ties into broader exterior work. These aren’t mystery parts off a van. We stock common replacement parts for New Territory’s original 1990s fixtures, which means fewer return trips and a faster finish. Our Bathroom Remodeling team can walk you through what each brand costs and why we spec it for New Territory’s humidity and hard water.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in New Territory Homes
- Original 1990s plumbing that’s reached end-of-life. The single-phase buildout means nearly every home in New Territory has the same original copper supply lines and cast-iron drains hitting the same failure age at the same time. Calcified valves, pinhole leaks, and corroded drain connections are all normal finds during a remodel here.
- Post-tension slab complications with drain relocation. New Territory sits on Fort Bend County’s expansive Beaumont and Houston Black clays, which shrink and swell seasonally. Any shower drain move requires careful planning so we don’t cut a post-tension cable. We scan before we cut, and the county inspector sees the results.
- Second-floor bath subfloor rot from slow leaks. We find rotted subfloor under original toilets and tubs in New Territory regularly, because the original wax seals and tub surrounds have silently leaked for two decades. Your change order should list subfloor repair allowances in writing before we start, not after we find the rot.
- Ventilation that doesn’t move air. Original 1990s exhaust fans in New Territory were undersized and routed poorly. When we remodel, we upgrade the vent and route it properly through the exterior, which trips an HOA application if the exterior hood changes. We handle it so you don’t get a final-inspection hold for a louver color the committee didn’t approve.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in New Territory
Plan for 30 to 45 days of HOA review before demolition starts. The New Territory architectural review board typically adds 30+ days to the calendar, and that’s before we file the Fort Bend County permit. We’ve seen the board clear an application in three weeks and we’ve seen it take six. The safe move is to submit your plans at least five weeks before you want a hammer in the wall. We prepare the full submittal packet, including exterior vent hood finish and any window or penetration changes, so the application isn’t sent back for a missing detail. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll map the full timeline for your specific scope.
No. Any new window, any exterior wall penetration, any change to what’s visible from the street requires New Territory architectural review board approval before the work can begin. The HOA’s design standards govern window style, frame color, and even muntin pattern, and the board enforces them through stop-work notices. We file the application with your drawings and material specs before the county permit gets pulled. Skipping it means a final-inspection hold or a forced undo, and that’s not how anyone wants to end a bathroom remodel. For an exact quote on a window change in your bathroom, call (877) 610-1318.
Almost certainly yes, and anyone who tells you otherwise before opening the walls hasn’t worked many New Territory homes. Homes in this area share the same original copper supply lines and cast-iron drains installed during the late-1980s-to-mid-1990s buildout, and they’re all reaching end-of-life together. We’ve seen original 1993 Moen cartridges seized with calcium, pinholes in copper supply lines, and subfloor rot under a toilet flange that never showed a visible leak. Your estimate should include written allowances for plumbing replacement and subfloor repair, so when we find what’s behind the tile, the fix is already in writing and the price doesn’t surprise you. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule an assessment.
We don’t start demolition until the HOA approval clears. That’s deliberate. We’ve had crews halfway through rough-in on a two-story 1994 brick-veneer off Walker School Road when a stop-work notice arrived because the exterior vent hood didn’t match the approved palette. The homeowner paid for a delay that could have been avoided. Our sequence instead is: file the HOA application, get the review clearance, pull the Fort Bend County permit, then start rough-in. Your bathroom stays intact until we’re cleared to move, and the work compresses into fewer weeks once it starts. Ask us for the full approval timeline when you call (877) 610-1318 for your estimate.
If the New Territory HOA denies part of your plan, we revise the submittal and resubmit. That’s the benefit of hiring a contractor who works with the board every week instead of one who’s never read the community’s design standards. We’ve had the board request a different exterior vent hood color, a different window frame finish, and a different exterior louver style, and we’ve gotten approvals on resubmission each time. Your contract already lists the HOA submission as part of the job, so a denial doesn’t mean you’re stuck. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain exactly how we prepare for the board’s objections before they happen.
