AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Allen
A full bathroom remodel in Allen runs $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathrooms starting around $5,000 and walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. Those are real numbers from real jobs in Twin Creeks, Watters Crossing, and Ridgeview Ranch, not phone quotes that change at the door. Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and when you call (877) 610-1318, you get Tom Barrett or one of his sons, not an out-of-state call center. We scope every Allen job in writing before we touch a single tile.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Allen’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to Allen. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look them up before you sign anything. His sons run the crews that work in Allen, and Tom himself walks most job sites in the 75002 and 75013 ZIP codes at least once a week.
Allen homeowners have told us the same story for years: a national outfit quoted one number over the phone, showed up with a different number, and left them holding a half-finished bathroom. 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.
We carry premium brands across the trade. Schluter waterproofing systems under tile, Grohe fixtures, and Sterling tubs are all materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Allen
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We gut and rebuild master baths, hall baths, and guest baths throughout Allen, including the 1993-to-2012 tract homes that dominate Twin Creeks and Watters Crossing. Because so many of these homes share the same builder-grade framing and plumbing layout, we know what’s behind the drywall before we open it. Full remodels run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on footprint, fixtures, and whether we’re moving plumbing or keeping the existing layout.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Allen runs $4,500 to $12,000. In the 1990s master-planned subdivisions, we regularly see fiberglass shower pans that have failed along the curb and rotted the subfloor beneath. We install Schluter waterproofing membranes under every tile shower we build, and we check the slab elevation across the bathroom floor before setting anything. That last step matters in Allen, where post-tension slabs over Blackland Prairie clay move more than most people realize.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Allen typically falls between $3,500 and $10,000. Older Allen homeowners making this switch usually want a low-threshold entry and grab-bar blocking, and we frame for both even when you don’t ask. On post-tension slabs, we use a mortar bed fill and flexible grout at movement joints so the new tile doesn’t crack through the next drought cycle. See our Bathroom Remodeling page for the full range of what we do.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in Allen, and that’s a job we scope carefully because of how Allen’s clay soil affects wall flatness. In older tract homes, walls that have shifted over 25 years of wet-dry cycles can rack a new vanity if we don’t shim and anchor it properly. We also install tile, Grohe and Sterling fixtures, and frameless glass enclosures with the same allowance discipline: you pick the tier, we put it in writing, and the price doesn’t move unless you change the tier.

Trusted Brands We Service in Allen
We stock Schluter waterproofing, Grohe fixtures, and Sterling tubs for Allen jobs specifically because we know what these homes need. When a tub surround fails in a 1998 Ridgeview Ranch master bath, we don’t want to wait a week on a special-order pan. Having the right materials in our Dallas-Fort Worth metro inventory means faster rough-in and fewer days with your bathroom torn apart. We also replace GAF underlayment on bathroom-adjacent exterior walls when water damage has traveled, because in Allen’s hail corridor, compromised flashing shows up in bathrooms that share an outside wall.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Allen Homes
- Tile cracking from slab movement. Allen’s post-tension slabs were poured over minimally prepped expansive clay. After 25 to 30 years of drought cycles, interior door frames rack and drywall cracks reopen seasonally. If a remodel doesn’t assess slab movement before tile goes down, the new tile cracks within a year.
- Builder-grade shower pan failures. The 1993-to-2012 tract homes across 75002 and 75013 often came with fiberglass pans that lose their seal at the curb. By the time you see water on the floor, the subfloor and framing underneath are already compromised.
- Septic and well setbacks on acreage lots. Allen still has acreage parcels where county-mandated septic and well setbacks apply. A bathroom addition that doesn’t account for those setbacks fails final inspection because the new drain line sits too close to the septic field. We pull both city and county permits when the job calls for it.
- Allowance disputes over tile and fixtures. Quoting a flat allowance without specifying builder-grade versus upgraded tier leads to change orders when you select a Cambria quartz vanity top instead of the included cultured marble. We write the tiers out before you sign.

What moves the price in Allen specifically? Slab condition. If we find differential movement at the threshold, like we did in that Ridgeview Ranch master bath, your remodel includes a mortar bed fill and flexible grout at movement joints. That’s not an upsell. It’s the difference between tile that stays put and tile that cracks in eighteen months. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your bathroom with a level and give you a written estimate, not a phone guess.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Allen
Allen sits on the Blackland Prairie formation, and the clay beneath the 1993-to-2012 tract homes in 75002 and 75013 shrinks during droughts and swells with seasonal rains. That movement cracks drywall and racks door frames, and it also cracks tile if the remodel ignores it. We check slab elevation before rough-in and spec mortar bed fills and flexible grout at movement joints when we see differential movement. Call (877) 610-1318 for a slab-aware estimate.
Sometimes, yes. If your Allen acreage property has a septic system and well, county-mandated setbacks can affect where new drain lines may run. The City of Allen issues the building permit, but the county signs off on septic and well clearance. We pull both when the job calls for it, and inspections get signed before we close up any wall. Ask us about your specific lot when you call.
Because the homes were built in the same wave, by the same builders, with the same materials. Twin Creeks, Watters Crossing, and Ridgeview Ranch are full of 2,000-to-4,500-square-foot brick-veneer tract homes with identical builder-grade shower pans, plumbing chases, and framing. They hit their 20-to-30-year failure threshold simultaneously. When we remodel one, we’ve essentially seen the blueprint for the whole subdivision.
We start by checking slab elevation across the bathroom floor. In Ridgeview Ranch, our crew remodeled a 1998 master bath where the homeowner had already re-caulked the tub surround twice. Before rough-in, we found a 3/4-inch differential movement at the threshold. We scoped a mortar bed fill and flexible grout, set a new tub, and after inspection sign-off the tile stayed crack-free through the next full wet-dry cycle. That’s the standard we apply in Allen.
Every allowance tier. Builder-grade versus upgraded tile, cultured marble versus Cambria quartz vanity tops, stock versus custom glass enclosures. If the allowance isn’t on paper, you don’t have an allowance. You have a surprise with a date. We write every tier out before you sign, and any scope change comes as a written change order. Call (877) 610-1318 to get your estimate started.
