Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Wells Branch’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

We’ve been remodeling bathrooms in Wells Branch since before the second generation of those post-tension slabs started showing hairline cracks, and we know the neighborhood’s MUD-era floor plans the way you know your own kitchen drawers. Homeowners along Wells Port Drive and around Katherine Fleischer Park call us for bathrooms and our Driveway & Pavers in Wells Branch because we publish our license number, our address, and Tom’s name on every contract. That matters in a community where the person you hire on Monday is the same person you’ll wave to at the Wells Branch Community Center on Saturday.

Our crew members are Tom’s sons and their teams, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. They’re background-checked, uniformed, and they know that a Well’s Branch home’s original polybutylene supply lines are a red flag worth pointing out whether or not it’s in the original scope. That’s the kind of thing you only learn by working hundreds of homes in the same few square miles. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers. Not a call center, not a voicemail box.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Wells Branch

Full Bathroom Remodeling

This is the big one for Wells Branch homeowners living with the original 1986-era brass fixtures and fiberglass tubs. We gut to the studs, replace rotted subfloor, sister any joists that forty years of Blackland clay heave has shifted, and rebuild with materials like Schluter waterproofing membrane before the new tile goes down. On a full bathroom remodel we pull a Travis County permit on every eligible job, and the inspector signs off before we say it’s done. That matters more here than in incorporated cities because the county process has its own schedule, and we plan around it.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

A walk-in shower renovation in Wells Branch runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, tile selection, and whether we’re moving the drain line. The original stall showers in these houses were built with standard 60-inch pans and cheap plastic surrounds, and by now many are leaking behind the walls. We slope the mortar bed correctly, install a Schluter waterproof base, and finish with a frameless glass enclosure if that’s the look you’re after. Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles this every week across the 78728.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

For the 50-to-70 crowd, stepping over a tub wall becomes a real safety question, and Wells Branch homes have plenty of original garden tubs that rarely get used for soaking. A tub-to-shower conversion starts around $3,500 and gets you a low-threshold entry, a moisture-resistant surround, and grab-bar blocking in the walls even if you don’t install bars yet. We use Sterling and Grohe fixtures on these jobs because they’re brands you can look up and trust, not whatever came off the back of a van.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Maybe your bathroom doesn’t need a full gut. Maybe the vanity has water damage around the base, the 4-inch ceramic tile has lost its grout, and the faucet drips because the original cartridge is shot. We replace vanities, retile floors and shower walls, and swap fixtures throughout Wells Branch homes, often in a week or less. This is the kind of project where our written change-order rule protects you: if we open the wall and find polybutylene lines that need replacing, you’ll get a paper change order with a price before we do anything.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Wells Branch Homes

• Expansive clay slab movement cracking tile and grout. Wells Branch sits on the Blackland Prairie, and the post-tension slabs under these 1985-1995 houses shift seasonally. When the slab moves, bathroom tile flooring pops, shower pans flex, and grout lines crack. We install uncoupling membranes and reinforce subfloors to reduce tile failure on these slabs.
• Polybutylene supply lines behind original wet walls. Builders in this era used polybutylene piping in a lot of Travis County MUD developments, and Wells Branch is no exception. We flag it when we see it and bring the replacement into scope with a written change order before touching the pipe.
• Rusted cast-iron tub drains and failing flange seals. The original tubs and showers in Wells Branch homes were installed with cast-iron drain assemblies that corrode from the inside. By year 35 or 40, many are leaking into the slab. We replace the drain assembly and set the new tub or shower on a proper mortar bed.
• Exhaust fan ventilation issues causing ceiling mold. Many original exhaust fans in these homes were underpowered and vented poorly. Central Texas humidity plus an aging builder-grade fan equals mold on bathroom ceilings. We upgrade to properly sized ducted fans and correct the vent run as part of a remodel.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wells Branch

We install Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling tubs and surrounds, and Grohe fixtures, and we stock common repair parts in our Austin office so we’re not making a Wells Branch customer wait a week for a cartridge or a trim kit. These are brands with published warranties and known failure rates, not mystery labels off a supply yard shelf. If you’re comparing quotes, ask the other contractor what waterproofing membrane goes behind your tile. If they can’t name it, that’s your answer. We’ll also put it in writing: every change order, every allowance, every line item. If we currently have Roofing in Wells Branch work happening on your street, we’ll coordinate to keep the mess from overlapping.
