Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Timberwood Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we say owner-operated, we mean the owner’s name is on the truck, on the contract, and on the permit. Timberwood Park homeowners tend to ask better questions than most, because a lot of them have already been through a remodel that went sideways. They want to know who’s actually doing the work, what happens when the old shower waterproofing turns out to be shot, and whether the price on the contract is the price they’ll pay. Those are fair questions, and we answer them in writing. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look any of it up before you sign anything.
The reason we keep getting called back to Timberwood Park is simple: we treat a remodel like the house is ours. That means pulling Bexar County permits on every eligible job, writing every allowance into the contract, and issuing a written change order before any scope change touches the work. No allowance that isn’t on paper. No surprise invoice at the end. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise backs every completed job: if it isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Timberwood Park
We offer the full range of bathroom work across Timberwood Park, from small refreshes to gut-and-rebuild jobs. Here’s where we spend most of our time:
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in Timberwood Park usually means taking a master bath from the late 1980s or 1990s down to the studs and rebuilding it right. The houses out here are custom and semi-custom, often with large footprints and awkward original layouts. We rework floor plans, move plumbing where the budget allows, and bring everything up to current Bexar County code before the first tile goes in. Most full bathroom remodels in Timberwood Park run $9,000 to $28,000, with the spread driven by what the demo finds.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade we do in Timberwood Park. A lot of the original master baths in this area were built with garden tubs that take up half the room. We tear those out, reframe the space, and build a curbless or low-curb walk-in with proper waterproofing tied to the drain. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 here. Shower replacement, when the footprint stays put, runs $3,000 to $8,500.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower in Timberwood Park is one of the best returns you’ll get on a bathroom dollar, especially for homeowners planning to age in place. The primary bath gets a shower you can step into without climbing over a tub wall. These jobs run $3,500 to $10,000 depending on whether we’re keeping the existing drain location or moving it. Moving a drain on a slab in this part of Bexar County can mean hitting Edwards limestone, and that changes the scope. We’ll tell you before we dig.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
If the bones of your bathroom are fine and you just want it to stop looking like 1997, we handle vanities, tile, and fixtures as a standalone scope. Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000. We carry premium brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. Glass enclosures are a specialty here. Frameless glass shower enclosures, the kind that belong in a custom Timberwood Park home, are part of our regular bathroom work.

Trusted Brands We Service in Timberwood Park
We run premium materials because our customers expect to recognize what goes into their home. In Timberwood Park bathrooms, that means brands like Techo-Bloc when we’re doing outdoor shower surrounds or hardscape tie-ins, and Cambridge Pavers where a bath expansion connects to a patio or pool deck. We keep common trim, valve, and finish components in our San Antonio stock so a missing piece doesn’t add two weeks to your schedule. The materials we install are ones you can research yourself, and we’ll itemize them in your written estimate. Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from rough-in to finish work.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Timberwood Park Homes
Timberwood Park’s housing stock was built mostly from the late 1980s through the mid-2000s. That means we see the same failures over and over, and they’re all fixable if you catch them right.
- Failed shower pan waterproofing. The original pans in 1990s and early 2000s Timberwood Park homes often weren’t tied to the drain correctly. Water wicks into the subfloor for years before you see a stain. By the time it shows, you’re usually replacing subfloor, not just tile.
- Undersized or notched framing. Original builders sometimes notched joists and studs to run old copper drains, which weakens the assembly. When we open the wall, Bexar County code requires load-bearing corrections before we close it back up.
- Slab plumbing routed through limestone. Timberwood Park sits on shallow Edwards limestone bedrock. Moving a toilet or shower drain on a slab often means hydraulic rock-breaking, not a standard trench. Contractors who quote San Antonio pricing get this wrong. We don’t.
- Moisture and humidity from the Balcones Escarpment climate. Timberwood Park gets sudden, intense humidity swings and occasional hard freezes that San Antonio proper doesn’t feel as sharply. Exhaust fan sizing and waterproofing details have to account for that range, or you’ll fight mildew on fresh grout within a year.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Timberwood Park
All construction permits in Timberwood Park run through Bexar County Development Services, not San Antonio’s COSA portal, and the process is genuinely different from what city contractors are used to. Lead times run longer, and the forms are different. We pull the permit ourselves and coordinate every inspection. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and I like it that way. If a previous contractor told you the county doesn’t require a permit for a bathroom remodel, check before you believe it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you straight what your job triggers.
If the demo reveals a shower pan that was never tied into the drain correctly, or a water-wicked subfloor, the fix is a full rebuild of the waterproofing assembly, and it adds time and money. In Timberwood Park homes from this era, it happens often enough that we plan for it as a written allowance in your contract. That means the price is already on paper. When we get to that stud wall and find the rot, you see exactly what it costs before we proceed. Call (877) 610-1318 if you already know your shower is leaking and want an honest number now.
Yes, if the conversion stays within the bathroom’s existing footprint, a tub-to-shower conversion generally doesn’t change your lot’s impervious cover calculation. The trigger happens when you expand the bathroom’s floor area or add new outside walls. That’s when Bexar County’s 15-30% impervious cover cap and Edwards Aquifer recharge zone rules can bite. We’ll tell you early whether your job touches that line. Call (877) 610-1318 with your project and we’ll walk you through it.
Original builders in Timberwood Park’s custom and semi-custom homes sometimes notched studs and joists to run old copper plumbing. That weakens the framing, and once the wall is open, Bexar County requires the correction. The fix is usually a header or a sistered joist, and it’s not something you can skip just because the wall hides it. In one 1990s custom home off Borgfeld Drive, we found an original master bath with a failing shower pan, rotted subfloor, and undersized 2×4 framing notched for old copper drains. We wrote the change order, replaced the framing and subfloor, and brought the rough-in to code before tile. The homeowner never saw a surprise bill. Call (877) 610-1318 if you suspect framing issues behind your tile.
We write the punch list into the contract, and we walk the job with you at the end. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every Barrett & Sons job, so anything that isn’t right comes back on us, not on you. On a typical Timberwood Park bathroom remodel, we schedule the final walkthrough before we call the job done, and we don’t collect the final check until you’ve confirmed the list is clear. If something comes up later, one call brings Tom back. Call (877) 610-1318 when you’re ready to schedule your free estimate.
