AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Cinco Ranch
A full bathroom remodel in Cinco Ranch typically costs between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on the size of the bath, whether you’re moving plumbing, and what we find once the walls come open. Most of the baths our crew remodels in Cinco Ranch are in homes built between 1995 and 2015, which means we’re almost always working around post-tension slabs and the kind of surprises that only show up after demolition starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your bathroom with you, talk through what you want, and hand you a written scope and allowance sheet before anything gets signed.
We’ve been remodeling bathrooms in Cinco Ranch long enough to know what the quote should say before the first tile comes up. That’s why our price includes the things other contractors leave off until later: a foundation check when the slab shows movement, HOA submittal paperwork when a vent or window moves, and change orders in writing if the rough-in turns up something the last remodel hid.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cinco Ranch’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name is on the contract, the truck, and the license. When Cinco Ranch homeowners call, they get a live person, not a call center. Tom or one of his sons walks the job before we ever give you a number, because a bathroom remodel on Katy Prairie clay is not the same job as one twenty miles east.
We’ve pulled permits on bathroom remodels all over Cinco Ranch, and we’ve sat through enough HOA Architectural Control Committee reviews to know what gets kicked back and what sails through. That local knowledge matters, because a remodel that fails ACC review costs you weeks. A contractor who doesn’t know the process costs you even more.
Every bathroom remodel we do in Cinco Ranch comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on the contract. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That’s the whole promise. And every price change on the job arrives as a written change order before we touch anything, so there’s no envelope at the end with a number you never approved.
Here’s our Bathroom Remodeling team’s approach on every Cinco Ranch job: inspect before we quote, write everything down, pull the permit, and install materials you can look up by name. We carry KraftMaid vanities and Cambria tops for bathrooms, and we install Kohler and Delta fixtures. If you want to check a brand before you buy it, we encourage that. If a contractor won’t tell you what he’s installing, that’s your answer.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Cinco Ranch
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in Cinco Ranch runs $9,000 to $28,000. That range is wide because what we find behind a 2004-era Cinco Ranch bathroom wall is not always what the homeowner expects. Hairline slab cracks under shower pans, drywall that’s been wicking moisture for ten years, and undersized vent fans that never moved enough air. We open the walls, see what’s there, and price any follow-up work as a written change order before it’s done.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Cinco Ranch typically runs $4,500 to $12,000. If your existing tub is on an exterior wall, we’ll check the slab for movement before we set the pan, because the clay here shrinks in the summer and swells after a good rain. That movement is exactly what pops tile and cracks pans two seasons after a cheap remodel.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a garden tub to a walk-in shower is one of the most common requests we get in Cinco Ranch. The homes built in the late 1990s and 2000s came with large soaking tubs that many homeowners now want replaced with a low-threshold shower. Conversions here run $3,500 to $10,000 depending on whether we’re staying in the original footprint or moving a drain line. We can usually keep the floor elevation as-is, which matters when the slab makes raising it a structural conversation.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install the same brands in Cinco Ranch that we’d put in our own homes: KraftMaid, Cambria, Kohler, Delta. We quote tile and fixtures by name, with model numbers, so the allowance sheet on your contract matches what goes on the wall. If the allowance changes, the change order lands in your hand before the new tile does.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cinco Ranch
We work with Simonton and Ply Gem windows in bathrooms where ventilation and natural light mean a new window or a relocated one. Cinco Ranch homes often have large window openings in the primary bath, and swapping in a Simonton unit while we’ve got the wall open is a natural upgrade. We keep local supplier relationships across the Cinco Ranch and Katy area so the parts and materials your job needs don’t sit on order for three weeks.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Cinco Ranch Homes
- Slab movement under shower pans. Katy Prairie expansive clay shifts with moisture, and post-tension slabs move with it. We’ve seen hairline cracks migrate directly under a shower pan and pop the tile within two seasons. That’s why we check for movement before we set anything, and why we bring in a structural engineer when the crack looks structural rather than cosmetic.
- HOA ACC-driven delays. Cinco Ranch’s Architectural Control Committee reviews changes that affect exterior vents, windows, and even some exhaust fan relocations. Skip the submittal and you can lose weeks. We handle the paperwork and the materials spec sheet from day one.
- Post-Harvey flood-zone waterproofing requirements. Many Cinco Ranch neighborhoods were remapped into higher FEMA flood zones in 2017. A permitted remodel now often requires moisture-resistant backer board and drainage details that a contractor across the county line wouldn’t even think about. We quote to the current code, not the one your house was built to.
- Failed waterproofing from the original build. Homes built in the early 2000s all across Cinco Ranch used the standard waterproofing of the day, and twenty years of Texas humidity has taken its toll. We rebuild showers with modern membranes and proper slope so water goes where it belongs.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Cinco Ranch, TX
Here’s where Cinco Ranch bathroom remodel pricing actually lands:

| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 - $10,000 |
What moves the number? The size of the bath, whether you’re relocating plumbing, the quality of tile and fixtures you pick, and what we find when the walls come open. A 1998 primary bath in Cinco Ranch with a slab crack under the shower pan is a different job than a 2015 powder room that just needs a vanity and new tile. Both are very doable. One costs more, and you’ll know exactly why before we start, because every cost that changes is a written change order. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come walk your bathroom with you. Estimates are free, and there’s no trip charge inside Cinco Ranch.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Cinco Ranch
Cinco Ranch sits almost entirely on Katy Prairie expansive black clay, and that clay swells when it rains and shrinks when it’s dry, which moves post-tension slabs enough to crack tile and shift subfloors. We inspect the slab for movement before we set a shower pan or rough in plumbing. If we see a crack that looks structural, we bring in a structural engineer to confirm the slab is still within tolerance before any tile goes down. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll take a look at yours.
Yes, most bathroom remodels in Cinco Ranch require a permit, especially if you’re moving plumbing, altering electrical, or changing a window or exterior vent. Barrett & Sons pulls the permit on every eligible job and the inspection gets signed before we call it done. No contractor should tell you permits are optional. The inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we like him there.
Cinco Ranch’s Architectural Control Committee reviews any change that touches the exterior, including relocated exhaust vents, window changes, and sometimes the placement of new plumbing stacks. If the ACC denies a submittal, the project stops. We handle the ACC paperwork, materials specs, and color palettes as part of your scope, because we’ve sat through enough reviews to know what gets flagged. Give us a call at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you whether your project needs ACC submittal at all.
Plan for 10 to 15 percent of the project total as a contingency for hidden damage. In Cinco Ranch, the most common surprises are slab cracks under the shower pan, rotted subfloor from a failed waterproofing job, and outdated wiring that no longer meets code once the walls are open. We price those discoveries as written change orders, line by line, with the allowance already written into your contract. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Most of the time, yes. We can usually keep the floor elevation as-is on a tub-to-shower conversion in Cinco Ranch, because the original tub footprint gives us the drain location we need for a low-threshold shower. If the slab condition or existing drain height requires a change, we’ll tell you before you sign anything. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll look at your bath and tell you what’s possible.
