AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Boerne
A full bathroom remodel in Boerne typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size, scope, and the shape of what’s behind the walls. That’s the honest range we quote, and it holds because we pull permits, put every allowance on paper, and issue a written change order before a single nail moves. If your 78006 ranch-style or 78015 master-planned home has a bathroom that’s showing its age, we can usually start the conversation this week and get you a fixed, line-item estimate that won’t surprise you later. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the space with you.
What we know about Boerne shapes how we remodel here. The older homes near Main Street were built before waterproofing standards got serious, so we replace rotted subfloors and redo shower pans the right way. The newer homes in Esperanza and Napa Oaks were built fast, and we regularly correct sloppy tub-to-tile transitions and undersized venting that builders let slide. Both ends of the housing spectrum show up on our schedule every month, which means we’ve already solved the problems your house has.
We’re not a national outfit dispatching strangers from a call center. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run crews. A live person answers the phone 24/7, and the person who shakes your hand at the estimate is the same person accountable for the work. That’s the Bathroom Remodeling standard we bring to every job in Kendall County.
Why Boerne Homeowners Call Barrett & Sons First
Tom lives twenty minutes from downtown Boerne. If something isn’t right after we finish, he wants to know about it, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract puts that in writing. One call brings him back. No phone tree, no “we’ll have a regional manager follow up.” That promise is why our name gets passed around HOA Facebook groups and neighborhood newsletters from Regent Park to Bent Tree.
Every job we do in Boerne includes permits pulled and inspections signed when the scope requires them. We’ve seen what happens when a contractor tells a homeowner permits are optional: the job stalls, the inspector shows up anyway, and the homeowner pays to undo the work. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we like it that way. Ask anyone on your street, or look up Tom’s license number yourself. Everything we claim checks out.
Our estimates are free, and they’re written. 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, and we don’t do surprises. For the 50-to-70 homeowner in Boerne who’s been burned by a big-box brand quoting one number on the phone and handing over a different bill at the door, that distinction matters more than any marketing line.
- Owner-operated since 1998: Tom and his sons are on-site most days.
- 90-Day Done Right Promise: Written on every contract, not buried in fine print.
- Permits pulled, inspections signed: On every eligible job in Boerne.
- Written change orders: No price moves without your signature first.
- Live person answers 24/7: Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state center.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Boerne
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Boerne means taking the room to the studs and rebuilding it, and that’s a job we’ve done in everything from 1960s ranch homes near Cibolo Creek to 2019 builds in Esperanza. We address what’s behind the tile: rotted subfloors from decades of shower pan leaks, undersized drains, and the kind of wonky framing that makes a new vanity sit crooked. Most full remodels in this market land between $9,000 and $28,000, with the final number tied to your fixture choices and whether we’re moving plumbing.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade we install in Boerne, especially in the 78015 communities where master baths were built with garden tubs nobody uses. A curbless or low-curb walk-in with a frameless glass enclosure changes how the whole room feels, and it’s a smart aging-in-place choice for homeowners planning to stay in their Hill Country house. Walk-in shower installations here typically run $4,500 to $12,000. We waterproof every surface before a single tile goes up, because Boerne’s hard water will find any shortcut within two years.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
If you’re tired of the dated tub-shower combo in a guest bath or hall bath, a tub-to-shower conversion is a straightforward fix that usually takes less time than a full remodel. In Boerne homes, we frequently find the original builder-grade tub was set directly on the slab, which means we’re often dealing with what’s underneath once the tub comes out. Expect to budget $3,500 to $10,000 for this project. We’ll give you a written scope before the demo hammer comes out.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the room doesn’t need a gut job. A new vanity, better tile, and upgraded fixtures can breathe life back into a tired bathroom for $800 to $3,000 on the vanity side plus tile and plumbing fixture costs. We stock and install brands you can look up, like Cambria on countertops and KraftMaid on cabinets, so you know exactly what you’re getting. No mystery brands off the back of a van. We’ll also replace shutoff valves and supply lines while we’re in there, because the last thing any Boerne homeowner needs is a 20-year-old angle stop failing behind a brand-new cabinet.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Boerne Homes
After years of remodeling bathrooms across the 78006 and 78015 ZIP codes, we can tell you exactly what we find when the demo starts. None of this shows up on a builder’s punch list, but all of it affects what your remodel costs and how many days it takes.
- Slab-on-grade plumbing surprises: Boerne’s newer subdivisions are built on slabs, and a surprising number of our bathroom remodels involve relocating or repairing drain lines punched through the slab. The limestone substrate under the slab means trenching is slower than in flat soil. We budget for rock saws and extra labor up front, in writing, so you’re not hit with a surprise invoice on week two.
- Shower pans leaking into subfloors: In homes built before the current waterproofing standards became common, we routinely pull up tile and find the subfloor has been rotting for years. We rebuild the pan from scratch with a bonded waterproof membrane, not a cheap fiberglass insert that’ll crack when the house settles. The Hill Country’s shrink-swell clay and limestone soil means settling happens.
- Hard water scale and fixture wear: Boerne’s water is hard, and that shortens the life of valves, cartridges, and showerheads. We frequently recommend whole-house water treatment during a bathroom remodel, and we install fixtures rated for high-mineral water.
- Exhaust fans venting into the attic: This is the one that makes us shake our heads. Builders in fast-moving subdivisions sometimes vent bathroom exhaust fans into the attic instead of through the roof. That puts moist Hill Country air into your attic and leads to mold on the decking. We correct this during any bathroom remodel in Boerne, and we’ll show you the before and after photos.
Trusted Brands We Service in Boerne
Your bathroom remodel should include products you can open the box, read the label, and look up. We stock and install recognizable names across every surface of the job, from vanities to countertops to tile backer systems. Boerne customers get fast turnaround on parts because we carry inventory locally and our crews run the Kendall County corridor on a regular schedule. When you’re standing in the aisle at the hardware store on Saturday, you should recognize the brand going into your home on Monday.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Boerne
We can typically have Tom or one of his sons at your Boerne home for a free estimate within a few days, and depending on our current schedule, demolition can start within two to four weeks for a standard bathroom remodel. The honest answer is that permits and material lead times set the schedule, and we’ll give you a written timeline before you commit. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what our calendar looks like.
Yes. We work across the 78006 core including downtown, Cibolo Creek, and the Hill Country ranch properties around town, as well as the 78015 master-planned communities like Esperanza and Napa Oaks, and we also handle Boerne Driveway & Pavers projects. If you can hand us a Boerne address, we can get there. Estimates are free, and there’s no trip charge inside the county.
Slightly, and the reason is the geology. Boerne sits on limestone bedrock just below the surface, so any plumbing work under the slab takes longer and requires heavier equipment than the flat San Antonio soil. That’s a real labor difference, and any honest contractor serving both markets will tell you the same thing. We write it into your estimate as a line item, not a surprise. Expect a Boerne bathroom remodel to run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on scope.
Only if you change the scope, and only with a written change order that you sign first. We don’t do verbal price changes, we don’t do “we’ll figure it out later,” and we don’t do allowances that aren’t on paper. The number we agree on is the number you pay unless you ask us to add something. That’s our rule, and it’s why homeowners who’ve been burned by surprise invoices call us.
Call Tom. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is on every contract we write in Boerne, and it means one call brings him back to make it right. Beyond that, the materials we install carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we register every product warranty for you. We live twenty minutes from you, not in another state, which is the whole point.
