AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Coppell
A full bathroom remodel in Coppell typically runs $9,000-$28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000 and walk-in shower installations at $4,500-$12,000. Most of the homes we work on in the 75019 and 75099 zip codes were built between 1985 and 2005, which means we’re dealing with post-tension slabs, dated plumbing, and layouts that weren’t designed for how Coppell families live now. If you’re planning a bathroom update off Denton Tap Road or somewhere near Andy Brown Park, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the space with you and put real numbers on paper.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Coppell’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise outfit that flies a crew in from three counties away. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that work in Coppell. When you call, a live person answers, and the same name on the contract is the one you’ll see on-site. Our Bathroom Remodeling team has spent enough time in Coppell to know what the 1980s and 1990s floor plans look like, where the plumbing chases tend to run, and which builder subdivisions used which subfloor materials.
Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look him up before you sign anything. Every Coppell job gets permits pulled and inspections signed, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves, and every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the whole point of the promise, and it’s been that way for over 29 years.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Coppell
We handle the full range of bathroom work in Coppell, from a one-day vanity swap to a complete gut and rebuild. Here’s what Coppell homeowners ask us about most often.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in Coppell means tearing out a 25-to-40-year-old bathroom and rebuilding it to current code. That includes moving supply lines if the layout changes, addressing any water damage hiding behind the original tile, and making sure the new work meets Coppell’s permit requirements. Homes near the 75099 side of town, particularly in the older sections east of MacArthur Boulevard, frequently need full subfloor replacement once we pull the original vinyl or tile.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade in Coppell’s 2,500-4,500 sq ft homes, especially for homeowners planning to age in place. Curbless entries, built-in benches, and hand-shower rough-ins are common spec’d features. We install Schluter waterproofing systems, and before any concrete is cut for a drain move on a post-tension slab, we pull a GPR report so the cables stay intact.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the conversion we do most often in Coppell. The original fiberglass tubs in 1990s homes are usually worn through by now, and the shower pan that replaces them opens the room visually. The key move on a Coppell slab home is staging the drain relocation without cutting post-tension cables. We scan first, every time.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities, tile, and fixtures as part of larger remodels and as standalone updates. Coppell homes from the 1990s often have 36-inch vanities that leave no knee space, so a common job is replacing one with a 48-inch or double-basin unit. We carry premium tile lines and specify named brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van.
Small Bathroom Remodels
A small bathroom remodel in Coppell runs $5,000-$12,000 depending on what you’re replacing. That’s a powder bath on a tightened footprint, or a hall bath that’s staying in its existing footprint with new tile, a new vanity, and new fixtures. We keep the scope in writing, including allowances, so the number you sign is the number you pay.

Trusted Brands We Service in Coppell
We work with established brands we can stand behind, including Simonton for windows and glazing, Ply Gem for trim and millwork, and PGT for exterior-rated products. When a Coppell bathroom remodel includes window replacement or a new exterior door, we order from manufacturers whose products meet the wind-load requirements that apply in FAA Part 77-adjacent zones. No off-brand substitutes, and whatever we install gets documented in the permit file.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Coppell Homes
- Cut plumbing under post-tension slabs. Nearly every 1985-2005 Coppell home sits on a post-tension slab. Any drain or toilet flange move requires GPR scanning before concrete cutting. Skipping that step on a bathroom remodel risks severing a high-tension cable, snapping the slab, and turning a $9,000 remodel into a $40,000 foundation repair. We scan before we cut, no exceptions.
- Water damage hiding behind original tile. The original bathtub surrounds and shower pans in 1980s and 1990s Coppell homes have often been leaking for years before anyone notices. Once we remove the old tile, we find rotted drywall and subfloor more often than not. That’s why our quotes include written allowance language: if the subfloor needs replacement, you’ll see the exact cost as a change order before we proceed, never after.
- Wind-load compliance on new exterior glazing. If your bathroom remodel includes a larger window, a skylight, or a bathroom-to-bedroom conversion with new exterior glass, Coppell’s proximity to DFW International Airport triggers wind-zone reviews that many suburban crews never encounter. A window package that passes inspection in Lewisville may fail in Coppell. We specify compliant products and get the review done before the inspection date.
- Drain lines that were built to old code. Coppell’s housing stock is aging, and original cast-iron or early PVC waste lines are reaching the end of their useful life. A tub-to-shower conversion often reveals a drain line that needs partial replacement before the new shower pan goes in. We document what we find and put the fix in writing before we touch it.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Coppell
Yes. Post-tension slabs in Coppell’s 1985-2005 housing stock contain high-tension steel cables under roughly 30,000 pounds of force. Cutting a drain trench without a ground-penetrating radar report risks hitting one of those cables, which can snap the slab, throw shrapnel, and cost tens of thousands to repair. We pull GPR on every slab-penetrating bathroom job in the 75019 and 75099 zip codes. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want to see what a GPR report looks like before you hire anyone.
It can. Portions of Coppell sit within FAA Part 77 airspace notification and obstruction zones due to the city’s direct border with DFW International Airport. If your bathroom remodel includes new exterior glazing, a larger window opening, or a skylight, the project may require a height-restriction and wind-load review before the permit is issued. We handle that review as part of the permit package and specify window products, including PGT and Simonton, that meet the applicable ratings. A compliant quote includes the review; a cheap one skips it and hopes the inspector doesn’t catch it.
A signed-off permit file proves the work was done to code and inspected by the city. If you file a claim later for water damage, a wind-related window failure, or a structural issue, your insurer will want to see that the remodel was permitted and passed inspection. Unpermitted work gives an adjuster a reason to deny a claim. We pull permits on every eligible Coppell job and put the inspection sign-off in your file. That file is yours to keep.
A compliant quote for a Coppell tub-to-shower conversion includes a GPR report before any slab cutting, a written allowance for subfloor or drain-line replacement discovered during demo, a wind-load review if the shower adds exterior glazing, and the permit fee with the inspection schedule. A cheap quote usually has none of those. It bids the visible work and change-orders you later when the 1990s subfloor turns out to be rotted. That’s exactly the surprise invoice our written change-order process is designed to prevent.
Often, yes. In many Coppell slab homes, we can keep the new shower drain near the original tub drain location and avoid slab penetration entirely. During a tub-to-shower conversion in a 1994 brick-veneer home off Mockingbird Lane, our tech pinged the slab with GPR and found two post-tension cables running diagonally under the original tub drain. We shifted the new center-drain rough-in eight inches and notched the framing instead of cutting the slab, keeping the permit inspection sign-off clean and the homeowner’s foundation intact. Not every floor plan gives us that option, but we always look for it before we cut.

Tom Barrett will walk the space with you, put the scope and allowances in writing, and answer every question you have about permits, GPR, wind-load review, and what the final number actually buys. The L.O.C.A.L. values code we work by means Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, and Loyal. You’ll see it in the contract before you sign.
