Bathroom Remodeling in Fabens - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Fabens

In Fabens, a bathroom remodel usually runs between $9,000 and $28,000, and the two biggest wildcards are what’s hiding behind the walls and how the ground under your slab is behaving. Homes out here, especially the older colonia-style places and mid-century block homes, were rarely built to current plumbing and waterproofing standards. When we open one up, we expect surprises: unpermitted drain lines, framing that never touched a permit office, and tile set directly over drywall in the shower. We plan for that on day one, not after the demo crew has already ripped everything out. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the job with you before any money changes hands.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fabens’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Tom Barrett has had his name on the trucks since 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up for Fence Installation in Fabens and every other job. That’s not a marketing line; that’s who opens your gate and walks through your front door. You will not get a rotating cast of subcontracted strangers. The same faces you meet at the estimate are the ones setting your tile and pulling your permits.

We answer our own phone, 24/7. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person picks up, not a voicemail tree and not an out-of-state call center. For homeowners in Fabens, that matters. A lot of the people we work with were burned by a national outfit that quoted one number on the phone and showed up with another at the door. We don’t play that game. Every scope item, every allowance, and every change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s been the rule since day one, and it’s printed on every contract.

Look us up. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Ask anyone around San Elizario or Horizon City who’s had us out. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Fabens

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full bathroom remodel in Fabens means gutting to the studs and rebuilding with a plan, not a wing and a prayer. Most homes here in the 79838 zip code have bathrooms in the 40 to 70 square foot range, which sounds small until you start laying out a walk-in shower, a proper vanity, and storage that actually holds towels. We pull permits on every eligible job, and we bring the framing, plumbing, and waterproofing up to current El Paso County code before we put a single finish on the wall.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in showers are the single most requested change we see from Fabens homeowners in their 50s and 60s. Stepping over a tub wall gets harder with every passing decade, and a curbless or low-curb shower changes how long you can stay in the home you already love. In Fabens, we pay extra attention to the pan and waterproofing. The soil movement out here, with that irrigation-fed clay under a caliche crust, flexes slabs just enough to crack tile and grout if the shower base isn’t done right.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

A tub-to-shower conversion in Fabens typically runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on what we find when the tub comes out. In colonia-style and older block homes, the drain location and subfloor condition dictate how much plumbing has to move. We’ll tell you that before we demo, not after. The result is a shower you can actually use without climbing, and a bathroom that feels twice the size even if the footprint didn’t change.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Vanity installation in Fabens runs $800 to $3,000, with the spread driven by whether you’re doing a simple swap or moving plumbing and electrical. We carry name brands you can look up yourself, and we’re not shy about telling you which ones are worth the money. Tile selection matters more out here than people expect. Summer heat and blown sand mean grout and sealant take a beating, so we steer Fabens customers toward products that hold up in a desert climate rather than whatever looks prettiest on a showroom wall.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fabens

We’re a full-service Bathroom Remodeling contractor, which means we don’t just install what we happen to have in the yard. We work with premium brands across the interior trades. When a Fabens customer wants Cambria countertops or KraftMaid cabinets in the bathroom, we’re set up to order, deliver, and install them without playing middleman games. And because we also do Windows & Doors in Fabens, a bathroom project that needs a new exterior window or better ventilation can be handled in one scope instead of two phone calls. Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers come into the picture when the remodel extends to a walkway or outdoor shower landing. Everything gets written into the contract; nothing arrives as a surprise.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Fabens Homes

• Unpermitted plumbing behind the walls. In older Fabens homes, we regularly find drain and supply lines that were added over the years without an inspection. If we’re touching the wall, we bring the plumbing to current code before we close it back up. That is not optional for us.
• Slab movement cracking shower pans and floor tile. The combination of irrigation-fed clay beneath the caliche crust causes differential settling that shows up as cracked grout and loose tile in bathrooms long before it shows anywhere else. A properly built shower base and isolated movement joints prevent the second failure.
• Shower walls tiled over drywall. This one shows up in almost every colonia-era addition we open. Drywall behind shower tile turns to mush, and by the time the homeowner notices the grout cracking, the framing is already rotting. We replace it with proper cement board and a waterproof membrane.
• Exhaust fans venting into the attic. In small Fabens bathrooms, the old fans often dump moisture straight into the attic space. With summer attic temperatures over 130 degrees and winter nights dropping fast, that trapped moisture feeds mold and rots the roof sheathing. We vent outside, every time.
