Call (877) 610-1318

We know the difference between a Woodlawn bungalow and a King William Victorian, and we know what both of them hide behind the walls. That matters when you’re spending real money on a bathroom you’ll use every single day.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is San Antonio’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up on San Antonio bathroom jobs. You’ll see the same faces from the first estimate to the final walkthrough. That’s not how the big-name outfits operate, and we’re fine with that.

San Antonio homeowners have called us from Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, and everywhere in between. The thing we hear most often: they’d been burned before by a company that quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different number at the door. We put every scope, every allowance, and every price change in writing before work starts. If something needs to change mid-job, you get a written change order before a single nail moves. No surprises.

We also pull permits on every eligible Bathroom Remodeling job. If you live in a historic district like King William or Lavaca, that’s not optional. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed on every visit, and a live person answers our phone 24/7. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. Call (877) 610-1318 and a human picks up.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in San Antonio

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full bathroom remodel in San Antonio means ripping everything out and rebuilding it right. We handle demo, rough plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish work. Homes in 78204 and 78201 often have caliche block behind the drywall, which doesn’t cut like modern CMU and needs experienced hands. We know what we’re looking at before the sledgehammers come out.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in shower installation in San Antonio runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on tile, glass, and the condition of your existing floor. We install Schluter waterproofing systems under every shower we build, because San Antonio’s humidity swings between Edwards Plateau dry and Gulf Coast wet, and a shower that isn’t waterproofed properly will find a way to tell you. Frameless glass enclosures are one of our most-requested finishes, and they hold up beautifully in our climate.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

A tub-to-shower conversion in San Antonio typically runs $3,500-$10,000 and transforms an unusable slip-risk tub into a curbless or low-curb shower. This is the most common request we get from homeowners in their 50s and 60s who want to age in place without leaving the house they love. We handle the plumbing reconfiguration, the waterproofing, and the tile work as one crew, so you’re not coordinating three different contractors.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

We install vanities from $800-$3,000, including plumbing and countertop work. Tile selection matters in San Antonio homes, especially in pre-1950 bathrooms where the old mud bed and lath floor needs careful removal. We also swap out fixtures and faucets, and we stock common parts locally so a leaking valve doesn’t stall your project for a week. Grohe and Sterling are two brands we install regularly and trust in San Antonio’s hard water.

Trusted Brands We Service in San Antonio

We carry premium brands because you should be able to look up exactly what went into your bathroom and see it’s not a mystery off the back of a van. For San Antonio showers, we rely on Schluter waterproofing systems. For tile work and fixtures, we often install Grohe and Sterling products. These are names with real warranties and real replacement parts, not something that disappears when the sale closes. Because we stock common materials locally in San Antonio, we can often start work faster than an outfit waiting on a truck from two states away.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in San Antonio Homes

• Expansive clay under the slab. San Antonio’s Vertisol clay expands and contracts by several inches a year as drought cycles break into heavy rain. That movement cracks tile, separates tub flanges from walls, and shifts vanity counters. We account for this before we set a single tile.
• Caliche block in pre-WWII walls. Homes in 78202, 78203, and 78204 often have caliche block behind the plaster, especially in King William and the East Side. Dense, irregular, and easy to confuse with adobe. Cutting into it without shoring has caused partial collapses on other companies’ jobs. We know what we’re looking at.
• Informal additions without permits. Decades of San Antonio homeowners added bathrooms and closets without pulling permits. When we open those walls, we often find plumbing that was never inspected and wiring that was never to code. We document it, bring it up to code, and fold the corrections into a written change order before we proceed.
• Pier-and-beam flex below pre-1950s floors. Many older San Antonio homes sit on pier-and-beam, not slab. Floor joists flex under foot traffic, which cracks grout lines and eventually breaks the waterproofing under a shower. We inspect the subfloor before quoting a serious remodel, because a new shower over a moving floor is just a future warranty claim.

We Also Serve Cities Near San Antonio

Beyond San Antonio proper, we regularly work in Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Kirby, and Windcrest. Each of those communities has its own mix of housing stock, from 1950s ranches to 1990s two-story builds, and we know what to expect in each one. If you’re in any of those areas, you’re still a San Antonio job to us, and scheduling works the same way. We also handle Roofing in San Antonio and Windows & Doors in San Antonio, so if your remodel turns up something bigger, one call covers it.
