AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across New Territory
A full bathroom remodel in New Territory, TX typically runs $9,000-$28,000, and most jobs land somewhere in the middle of that range depending on scope, material selections, and whether you’re changing the footprint or refreshing what’s already there. If you live in New Territory, you also need to plan around something most contractors won’t mention until it’s too late: HOA architectural review. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, we’ve been pulling permits and filing HOA submittals in Fort Bend County since 1998, and we know exactly how to keep your New Territory bathroom remodel moving while the review board does its thing. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through the real timeline, not a glossy brochure version.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is New Territory’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
New Territory isn’t just another subdivision to us. It’s a master-planned community where almost every house went up between the late 1980s and mid-1990s, which means we walk into the same original polybutylene supply lines, the same 30-year-old cast-iron tubs, and the same builder-grade fixtures house after house. That repetition isn’t boring to us; it’s how we know what to look for before demolition starts. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we quote a bathroom remodel in New Territory, the price you see on paper is the price you pay, because every change order gets written and signed before work continues. We live nearby, we answer our own phone, and if something isn’t right on day 80, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back to make it right.
We also understand the New Territory HOA in a way out-of-area contractors simply don’t. If your remodel changes an exterior wall penetration, a roof vent, or a window, the architectural review board gets a say. Their meetings are once a month. Miss the deadline by one day and you’ve added four weeks to a project that would otherwise take two to three weeks to build. We file the submittal packet for you, we schedule interior work to run in parallel while review is pending, and we never start demo on anything the board might flag. Ask anyone on your street how many remodels have sat half-finished waiting on a committee. Ours don’t.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in New Territory
We offer the full range of Bathroom Remodeling services, but most New Territory homeowners come to us for one of the following four. Here’s what each involves in a 1990s-era Fort Bend County home.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
This is the most common project we take on in New Territory: a complete gut of a primary or hall bath in a 1,800-3,500 sq ft brick-veneer two-story. We take it down to studs, address any subfloor movement from the Beaumont clay, replace water-damaged framing if we find it, and rebuild with materials that meet Fort Bend County’s moisture and flood-history standards. Full bathroom remodels in New Territory typically fall between $9,000 and $28,000, with the upper end covering layout changes, custom tile, and premium fixtures like Grohe or Sterling.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in New Territory runs $4,500-$12,000. Most of the homes we work in were built with a tub-shower combo in the primary bath, and homeowners are trading that for a curbless glass walk-in as they plan to age in place. We install Schluter waterproofing systems as standard on these jobs, which matters in New Territory because of the slab movement: a properly waterproofed pan flexes with micro-shifts in the concrete instead of cracking like a traditional mortar bed can.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in New Territory costs $3,500-$10,000 and is often the fastest way to make a secondary bath feel bigger without changing the exterior footprint at all. That last part is important here. If your conversion relocates the shower valve or drain, and that relocation changes an exterior wall penetration or roofline vent, the HOA wants to review it first. We’ll tell you on day one whether your conversion triggers review or stays interior-only.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in New Territory runs $800-$3,000, and we’re happy to do a fixture-only refresh if the bones of your bathroom are still solid. That said, in these 1990s production builds we often find original shut-off valves that have corroded to the point where they won’t fully close. We replace them while we’re in there, with a written change order in your hand before we touch anything. No surprise invoices at the end.

Trusted Brands We Service in New Territory
We install brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. In New Territory bathrooms we regularly work with Schluter waterproofing systems, Grohe and Sterling fixtures, and GAF underlayment when a bathroom sits adjacent to exterior roof lines affected by a remodel. Because we work in this zip code constantly, we keep the most common replacement parts and trim pieces for these systems either in stock or available from our local suppliers within a day or two. That means fewer delays when a valve body turns out to be obsolete or a tile trim piece arrives short.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in New Territory Homes
- Post-tension slab movement. New Territory sits on Beaumont and Houston Black clay that swells with rain and shrinks in drought. Bathroom floors shift over time, and we regularly find hairline cracks that would crack large-format tile or compromise a frameless glass enclosure if we laid directly over them.
- Original polybutylene supply lines. These homes were built in a single wave between roughly 1989 and 1996, and many still have the original gray polybutylene piping that was standard at the time. It gets brittle with age, and we’ve seen it fail mid-remodel. We flag it before demo so there are no mid-job surprises.
- HOA stop-work orders. The most avoidable problem in New Territory. If you move a toilet, tub, or shower drain in a way that changes an exterior wall penetration, and demo starts before architectural review clears, the board can issue a stop-work notice. We sequence the work so this never happens.
- Ground-floor moisture issues. Fort Bend County’s flood history means ground-level bathrooms need properly elevated subfloors and moisture-rated materials. A contractor who forgets this can fail re-inspection after a flood event. Our permits and inspections are signed on every eligible job.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in New Territory
Plan on roughly 30 days if your submittal packet is complete and landed before the deadline. The review board meets once a month, and a missed filing date pushes you to the next cycle. We file the packet for you, and we schedule interior rough-in work to happen while review is pending so your project doesn’t sit idle. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll map out the exact timeline for your scope.
Yes. Any work that relocates plumbing, changes drainage, or alters wall framing requires a Fort Bend County permit and a signed inspection. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why I like him on the job.
Usually yes, but it requires care. Post-tension slabs have steel cables under tension, and cutting into one without locating it first is dangerous and expensive. We locate the cables, plan the new drain route around them, and often use a shallow-depth trench or a raised curb to avoid stressing the slab. This is one of the most common scope items we write into New Territory change orders, because the original layout rarely matches what homeowners want today.
The most common job is a primary bath gut in a 1994-era two-story: remove the cast-iron tub and fiberglass surround, install a walk-in shower with frameless glass, replace the vanity, and upgrade polybutylene supply lines to PEX. We price allowances in writing for tile, fixtures, and plumbing trim, so you know exactly where every dollar sits before demo starts. If a price changes, it changes on paper first. That’s the rule, not the exception.
Because the contractor started demolition before HOA architectural review cleared a change that affects an exterior wall penetration, roofline vent, or window. In New Territory’s Willow Pointe section, we recently handled a full remodel where the only exterior change was a new low-profile exhaust vent cover. We filed the HOA exterior modification request, pulled the Fort Bend County permit, and ran interior rough-in in parallel: relocating a shower valve, straightening an out-of-level second-story subfloor, and setting a cast-iron replacement tub. The approval letter cleared 24 days later, and trim work finished within two weeks. No stop-work order, no idle crew, no half-torn-out bathroom baking in the Fort Bend sun. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll do the same for yours.
