Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Stafford
If your Stafford bathroom has a cracked 1980s tile job, a shower pan that’s been leaking into the slab, or a bathtub you step over with your knee telling you not to, you’re probably wondering what a real fix costs and who around here will actually stand behind the work. A full bathroom remodel in Stafford typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller refreshes and shower replacements landing lower. The bigger question is who shows up, who pulls the permit, and who’s still answering the phone a year later. That’s where we come in. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and you’ll talk to someone who knows Stafford’s homes, not a call center reading off a script.
Stafford’s housing stock has a personality all its own. The residential pockets in 77477 and 77497 are mostly 1970s through 1990s slab-on-grade tract homes, and we’ve seen what those decades do to bathrooms: galvanized pipes that choke off water pressure, original builder-grade tubs that have outlived their enamel, and tile set directly on drywall that’s been wicking moisture for thirty years. The clay soils under Stafford shift with every wet-dry cycle, and that movement shows up as hairline cracks in shower corners and grout lines that won’t stay sealed no matter how many times you caulk them. A bathroom remodel here isn’t a cosmetic project. It’s usually a repair project wearing a remodel’s clothes.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Stafford’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not a marketing line; when you call to schedule the work, the person who answers is a real person in our office, and the people who show up at your Stafford door carry the Barrett name. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look it up before you sign a single page. We’d rather you did.
Stafford homeowners who’ve been through a national remodeler before usually tell us the same story: a low phone quote, a contract that felt vague, and a final bill that didn’t match either one. We don’t work that way. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. That’s how we’ve kept a local reputation for over 29 years, and it’s why much of our Stafford work comes from neighbors who saw the truck and called.
We schedule Stafford jobs with real crews, not subcontractor roulette. When we say the tile setter will be there Tuesday, that’s a person we know, who’s been background-checked, and who works under our name. If something’s not right when the job wraps, our 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back. He lives close enough that he wants to know about it.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles the full scope, from gut to glass. And while we’re in your Stafford home, if you’ve noticed ceiling stains or missing shingles, we also handle Roofing in Stafford, and we replace Windows & Doors in Stafford if your bathroom remodel has you thinking about the rest of the house.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Stafford
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A gut-and-rebuild in a Stafford home usually means opening walls that haven’t been opened since the Carter administration. We find the things you can’t see from the outside: cast iron drain lines with rust blooms, framing that’s been wet longer than it’s been dry, and subfloors that flex underfoot. We fix what’s behind the tile before we set the first new piece. In the 77477 neighborhoods near Stafford Centre, we regularly see original 1970s bathrooms where the tub has settled and the wall tile is held on by habit. A full remodel starts around $9,000 and climbs with material choices and layout changes.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
For a lot of Stafford homeowners over fifty, the bathtub is the most dangerous thing in the house. A walk-in shower with a low threshold, grab bars, and slip-resistant tile isn’t a luxury; it’s how you stay in your home. We build showers that fit the space you have, not the space a catalog thinks you have. A walk-in shower installation in Stafford typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, glass, and whether we’re moving plumbing.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower is one of the most practical upgrades we do in Stafford’s slab homes. It opens floor space, removes a step-over hazard, and gives you a shower that actually drains. The job usually means reworking the drain location, which on a slab means cutting concrete and repouring. That’s why you want a contractor who knows Stafford’s slab construction and pulls the permit. A tub-to-shower conversion here runs $3,500 to $10,000. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Not every Stafford bathroom needs a full gut. Sometimes the bones are fine and the finish is tired. We replace vanities, set new tile, swap fixtures, and rework lighting. It’s the fastest way to make a 1990s bathroom feel like it belongs in this decade. A vanity installation in Stafford runs $800 to $3,000 depending on size and whether we’re moving plumbing lines. We carry premium-name materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Stafford Homes
- Slab leaks and shower pan failures: Stafford’s clay soil expands and contracts with every rain and dry spell, and over decades that movement cracks shower pans and stresses copper supply lines under the slab. We regularly open bathrooms here and find a pan that’s been leaking into the slab long enough to stain the ceiling below or warp the baseboards.
- Humidity and mold in tight spaces: Stafford sits in Houston’s humidity belt, and bathrooms in 1970s-1990s tract homes were often built with undersized exhaust fans or none at all. The result is persistent mold in grout, peeling paint, and drywall that’s soft behind the mirror.
- Builder-grade fixtures at end of life: The original tubs, valves, and supply lines in Stafford’s older residential pockets are hitting the end of their service life around the same time. We see a lot of valves that won’t fully shut off, enamel worn through to cast iron, and fixtures you can’t get parts for anymore.
- Out-of-code electrical and plumbing from previous work: More than once we’ve opened a Stafford wall to find a previous owner’s handyman special: Romex run without a junction box, a drain line with the wrong slope. We pull permits on every eligible job, and we bring it all to code before we close the wall.
Trusted Brands We Service in Stafford
We don’t install materials we wouldn’t put in our own homes, and we install a lot of materials Stafford homeowners can verify by name. In bathrooms, that means the big names in cabinetry, countertops, and tile: KraftMaid and Cambria for vanities and surfaces, plus fixtures and tile lines you can research before you commit. On outdoor jobs, when a Stafford homeowner asks about hardscapes or a driveway that ties the remodel together, we work with Belgard and Techo-Bloc, and Quikrete for the base work. We stock common parts for our brands locally so Stafford jobs don’t stall waiting on a backordered faucet from three states away. If you want a specific brand or a specific model, tell us. We’ll quote it straight, in writing.

Yes, permits are pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job.
