AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Carrollton
A full bathroom remodel in Carrollton typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on scope, fixtures, and whether your home sits in an older 1960s slab-on-grade ranch or a newer north Carrollton subdivision. Most projects here involve more than swapping tile: the Blackland Prairie clay under Carrollton shifts with every drought and rain cycle, so we routinely check for slab movement and plumbing stress before we set a single fixture. If you’re standing in a dated 1970s primary bath in 75006 wondering what it would take to fix it right, call Tom Barrett at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through a real number, not a phone quote that changes when we arrive.
We’ve remodeled bathrooms all over Carrollton. Brick-veneer tract homes from the Nixon era in south Carrollton behave differently from the 1990s two-story colonials up near Hebron and Castle Hills. We know what’s behind those walls because we’ve opened a lot of them, and we know which surprises to plan for before you sign anything.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Carrollton’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons has been owner-operated since 1998, and the trucks still carry Tom Barrett’s name. Not a franchise. Not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Tom and his sons run the crews, and they’re on-site most days. Carrollton homeowners tend to like that: you’ll see the same face at the end of the job that you saw at the beginning.
We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible bathroom remodel. That matters in Carrollton, especially in Carrollton neighborhoods where unpermitted work from previous “handyman specials” has become a problem at resale. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s the point.
Every price change, every allowance, every scope adjustment arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. If it isn’t on paper, it’s a surprise waiting for a date. And every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
You can look up Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number yourself. We publish them. We’d rather you check before you sign than wonder after.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Carrollton
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut and rebuild of a Carrollton primary bath usually means pulling everything to the studs, addressing any slab or subfloor issues, replacing the tub or shower, installing a new vanity, updating plumbing and electrical, and finishing with new tile and fixtures. In older 75006 homes, we frequently find cast-iron drain lines that have been quietly failing for years. In the 75007 and 75010 subdivisions, it’s builder-grade materials that have simply reached the end of their life. Both are fixed the same way: with a written scope and a plan you approve before demo starts.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested bathroom upgrade in Carrollton right now, particularly for homeowners in their 60s who plan to stay in the house another twenty years. We build curbless entries where the floor allows it, install proper waterproofing systems, and handle the structural adjustments needed when slab plumbing has to move. A new walk-in shower in Carrollton runs $4,500 to $12,000, depending on glass, tile, and whether we’re relocating the drain.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower makes sense in many Carrollton homes, especially the one-bath ranches in 75006 where a tub serves nobody and eats floor space. We remove the tub, cap or relocate plumbing, waterproof the new footprint, and build a shower that fits the actual space, not a catalog photo. Cost ranges from $3,500 to $10,000 in Carrollton’s market.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bathroom doesn’t need a full remodel. A new vanity, retiled floor, and updated fixtures can change the entire feel for under $5,000. We install KraftMaid-depth cabinetry and known tile lines, not mystery brands off a van. The vanity line-item typically runs $800 to $3,000 in Carrollton, and we specify every finish in writing before we order.

Trusted Brands We Service in Carrollton
We’re a full-line Bathroom Remodeling contractor, and we stand behind the materials we install. That means brands like KraftMaid and Cambria on vanities and counters, along with plumbing fixtures you can actually look up. We keep a running stock of common replacement parts and finish fittings for Carrollton jobs, which keeps small fixes from turning into week-long delays. If you have a written estimate from another Carrollton contractor, bring it to us for a free second opinion. We’ll line-item it against ours and show you where the money is actually going.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Carrollton Homes
- Slab movement cracking tile and grout lines. Carrollton’s Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts dramatically. Bathroom floors in older homes often show hairline cracks that point back to slab settlement, and new tile won’t fix that. We check the foundation before we commit to a remodel plan.
- Failed drain lines under 1960s-1970s slabs. The original cast-iron drain piping in many 75006 homes has corroded past the point of patching. A bathroom remodel is often the first time anyone sees the inside of that line. We quote the fix in writing if it’s needed.
- Builder-grade shower pans leaking behind walls. In 1980s and 1990s homes up in 75007 and 75010, original shower pans are now failing. Water wicks into drywall and framing long before you see a stain. We open these up during every shower remodel and address what we find with a written change order.
- Freeze damage from Winter Storm Uri still hiding in pipe chases. Homes built before modern freeze-resilience standards took a beating in 2021. In bathrooms, that damage piles up in exterior-wall plumbing runs. We inspect these cavities during remodels and flag problems early, when they’re still affordable to fix.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Carrollton
We return calls from Carrollton homeowners the same day, and we schedule free estimates one to two weeks out in most cases. A live person answers the phone at (877) 610-1318 whenever you call. Once the estimate is written and approved, we schedule your start date and put it in writing.
Yes. We serve 75006, 75007, 75010, and 75011, including Old Town, Castle Hills, Rosemeade, and the neighborhoods around Josey Lane and Hebron Parkway. Our Dallas-Fort Worth office coordinates scheduling, and crews work locally in Carrollton daily.
Yes, and we know the drill. Old Town Carrollton’s architectural review layer adds preservation guidelines to exterior-facing work that neighboring cities like Farmers Branch don’t require. For interior bathroom remodels, the process is simpler, but if your project touches an exterior wall or window, we align materials and massing with those guidelines. The added approval time doesn’t cost you anything extra on an interior bath remodel specifically, but we’ll tell you about it before it slows the job.
Carrollton runs slightly lower than Addison and slightly higher than Farmers Branch for comparable bathroom work, mostly because housing stock differs. The older slab-on-grade homes in south Carrollton can carry added plumbing remediation, while newer north Carrollton subdivisions are more predictable. Our pricing reflects your house, not a regional average. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact line-item quote, free.
Every bathroom remodel we complete in Carrollton carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right, one call. It’s on the contract, not in the fine print.
