AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Windcrest
A full bathroom remodel in Windcrest typically runs $9,000-$28,000, with smaller guest baths or tub-to-shower conversions landing closer to $5,000-$10,000. Most projects wrap up in two to five weeks once materials are on site, and the first step is a walkthrough where we check the slab, the drain lines, and the existing layout before talking price. If you live in the 78239 zip code and you’re tired of stepping around cracked tile or a shower pan that won’t drain, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318. We’ll send Tom Barnett or one of his sons out to look at what you’ve got and give you a written scope and a real number.
Windcrest isn’t like the newer subdivisions around Converse or Live Oak. The homes here were built through the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, and that changes how a bathroom comes apart. We’ve opened enough Windcrest walls to know what’s behind them before we touch the first tile. That local knowledge is the difference between a price that holds and a surprise invoice at the finish.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Windcrest’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barnett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not marketing language. When you hire Barrett & Sons for Bathroom Remodeling, the person shaking your hand at the first walkthrough is the same person who will be on site during demo, layout, and finish work. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, not a voicemail box somewhere out of state.
We know Windcrest because we work Windcrest. The city has its own municipal building department and permit process, entirely separate from San Antonio’s. That surprises contractors who don’t work here often. It doesn’t surprise us. We pull permits on every eligible job and we stand with you through the inspection. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he’ll tell you to look it up before you sign anything. We believe the inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we like him on every job.
Every project carries a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That promise is on the contract, not buried in fine print.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Windcrest
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in a Windcrest ranch home usually means working around original cast-iron drain lines and a slab foundation that has moved with decades of Bexar County clay. We plan for that before we price it. The result is a bathroom built to fit the existing footprint without fighting the house. Expect new waterproofing, new fixtures, new tile, and a layout that makes the room feel bigger without moving walls.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most common upgrade we do in Windcrest, especially for homeowners who want to stay in the house well past retirement. We tear out the old tub or low shower pan, build a properly sloped floor, and install a frameless glass enclosure where it fits the room. Windcrest homes from this era often have tight master baths, so we measure carefully before recommending glass sizes and hinge placements.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the single best value in Windcrest when the original cast-iron tub is stained, chipped, or just too hard to climb into. We handle the drain relocation, the waterproofing, and the new shower base as one scope. A tub-to-shower conversion in Windcrest generally lands between $3,500 and $10,000 depending on tile choices and whether we’re moving plumbing in the slab.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the room doesn’t need a full gut. A new vanity, a tile surround, and updated fixtures can change the whole feel for under $8,000. We install vanities from stock and semi-custom lines, and we’ll help you pick tile that works with the mid-century proportions common across Windcrest. We also replace failing faucets, shower valves, and corroded angle stops before they leak into the slab.

Trusted Brands We Service in Windcrest
We carry fixtures and materials we’re willing to put our name on. For bathroom tile and hardscape transitions, we work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers. For shower pans and waterproofing, we stick with proven systems we’ve installed for years across San Antonio’s northeast side. If a part fails under warranty, we handle the claim and the replacement. We don’t install mystery brands off a van, and we don’t ask you to buy materials sight unseen.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Windcrest Homes
- Cast-iron drain lines at the end of their life. Windcrest homes from the 1950s and 60s often still have original cast-iron waste lines under the slab. We scope them before we tile over them, because a new shower over a failing drain is a remodel you’ll pay for twice.
- Slab movement from Bexar County clay. The Vertisol clay under Windcrest shrinks in drought and heaves after heavy rain. That movement cracks old mortar beds and shifts shower pans. We account for it in every waterproofing plan.
- Original electrical panels pushed past their limits. Many bathrooms in the area still run on the original panel. Adding a heated floor or higher-draw fixtures sometimes means a subpanel or circuit upgrade, which we flag in the written scope before work starts.
- Tight mid-century layouts. Ranch homes from this era put bathrooms in small, interior spaces with no exhaust fan. We plan for ventilation, because a remodeled shower without proper airflow grows mold inside two seasons in this region’s heat and humidity.

A walk-in shower installation in Windcrest typically runs $4,500 to $12,000.
