AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Forney
Bathroom remodeling in our Forney service area typically runs $9,000-$28,000, and most homeowners here are dealing with one of two situations: either a master bath from the 2012-2018 build boom that’s showing its age, or a builder-grade hall bath that was never quite right from day one. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been remodeling bathrooms across Kaufman County long enough to know that Forney homes share predictable traits: slab foundations, tract-built framing, and fixtures that were never meant to last more than a decade. Call (877) 610-1318 when you’re ready for a written estimate, not a phone pitch.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Forney’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he puts his name, address, and license number on every contract, published in the open where you can verify it yourself before signing anything. His sons run the crews. When you hire us for a bathroom remodel in Forney, the people showing up are the same people whose name is on the truck. No franchise, no dispatched strangers, no out-of-state call center. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day.
Forney homeowners tend to ask the same questions: Will the price change once work starts? Will permits actually be pulled? Who’s going to be in my house? Here’s how we handle all three. Every scope and allowance comes in writing, and any price change arrives as a written change order before a nail moves. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job, because the inspector works for you, not for us. And every crew member is background-checked and uniformed. Plus, every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
We answer calls from the 75126 zip code all through Devonshire, Travis Ranch, and Clements Ranch, and we’re usually on-site within a day or two to measure and price. You’ll get a line-item scope in writing before you commit to anything.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Forney
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full-gut remodel of a master bath in Forney typically runs $9,000-$28,000 depending on footprint, finish level, and what’s hiding behind the walls. Homes in Travis Ranch and Devonshire built between 2012 and 2018 often have builder-grade shower pans, cheap vanities, and exhaust fans that were never properly vented. We take it down to the studs, fix the framing and moisture issues, and rebuild with materials you can look up by name.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Forney runs $4,500-$12,000. Forney homeowners over 55 consistently ask us to lose the tub and gain a curbless or low-curb shower. Given the Blackland Prairie clay under Forney slabs, we pay close attention to pan slope, waterproofing membrane, and drain placement. A pan that’s even slightly off here will puddle because slabs move seasonally.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the single most requested change in Forney’s 7-12 year-old homes, and it runs $3,500-$10,000. The original fiberglass tub-and-surround combo starts to look tired, the caulk line fails, and the homeowner wants a tile shower instead. We handle the full conversion, including moving the drain if needed and bringing the waterproofing up to current code.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Forney runs $800-$3,000, and it’s the quickest way to change the look of a hall bath without a full gut. We install named brands you can research yourself, and we tile floors and shower walls with proper underlayment rated for slab homes. No mystery materials off a van.

Trusted Brands We Service in Forney
We stock and install brands Forney homeowners can verify: KraftMaid and Cambria in bath cabinetry and countertops, Moen and Delta on fixtures, and tile lines from established distributors, not clearance pallets. When we finish a job in 75126, you know exactly what went in and where to get a replacement part five years from now. That matters in a fast-growing market where some contractors buy whatever’s cheapest at the supply yard that week.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Forney Homes
Forney’s specific housing stock and soil create problems that don’t show up the same way in Rockwall or McKinney. Here’s what we run into most, and what it usually means for a quote.
- Hairline cracks in shower corners and floor tile. Forney sits on Houston Black clay that shrinks hard during dry summers and heaves after fall rains. That seasonal movement telegraphs through slabs and framing, pulling grout lines apart in bathrooms on the outer walls. We address the tile symptoms, but we also check for how the house is moving before we set new material.
- Builder-grade exhaust fans that vent into the attic. A surprising share of Forney bathrooms we open have fans that were never ducted to the exterior, so moist air has been soaking the attic insulation for a decade. A proper remodel fixes the duct run to the outside, which is also a Kaufman County code point worth getting right.
- Failed shower pans at the 10-year mark. By year 10, the original pan in many 2010s-era Forney subdivision homes has hairline splits, typically because the pre-slope under the liner was never right in the first place. In one Devonshire phase, we found the same pan defect in three neighboring houses on the same cul-de-sac. That’s how clustered these build-era issues run.
- Water damage at the tub-to-floor joint. Almost all Forney bath floors are tile laid directly on slab with no expansion joint at the tub base. When the slab breathes, that joint cracks. We see this consistently across Travis Ranch and Clements Ranch.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Forney, TX
Bathroom remodeling in Forney typically costs $9,000-$28,000, with most jobs settling around $12,000-$18,000 for a full hall-bath gut and rebuild. Smaller refreshes fall into the $5,000-$12,000 range. The main cost drivers in Forney are unexpectedly long plumbing runs (common in large master plans where the bath is far from the house drain stack), concrete work if you’re moving a drain, and waterproofing labor, which we don’t shortcut. A written estimate is free, and every line item is on paper before any work begins. Call (877) 610-1318 for exact numbers on your home, or ask us for a second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already collected. Estimates are free.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Forney
Usually within two to three weeks of a signed contract, depending on the permit queue. Forney’s permit office has a backlog tied to the rapid subdivision build-out, so we submit plans the day you sign. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic start date, not a vague promise.
Yes. We work across the 75126 zip code, including Devonshire, Travis Ranch, Clements Ranch, and the older streets near downtown Forney. Our crews serve Forney locally, coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, so scheduling is straightforward.
A small bathroom remodel in Forney runs $5,000-$12,000. That typically covers a new vanity, toilet, tile floor, fixture upgrades, and paint, without moving plumbing drains. For an exact price, call (877) 610-1318 for a free written estimate.
It won’t change unless you change the scope, and if you do, you’ll receive a written change order with the new price before any additional work proceeds. We don’t surprise homeowners at the end. That’s the Barrett & Sons standard, on every contract, in writing.
Yes, on every eligible job. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and ensure each one is signed before we call the job finished. If a previous contractor told you permits were optional, that’s a red flag worth discussing on the phone.
