Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Fort Worth
A full bathroom remodel in Fort Worth typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000, with smaller guest baths landing closer to $5,000-$12,000 and walk-in shower conversions starting around $3,500. Those are the numbers we quote on the phone, and they match the numbers you’ll see on the contract before a single tile comes up. Barrett & Sons Construction has served Fort Worth for over 29 years, and we’re the crew neighbors call when the last contractor’s paperwork didn’t match the work. If you’re tired of national outfits that disappear after the deposit clears, call us at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate from someone who answers his own phone.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fort Worth’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Fort Worth’s older neighborhoods week after week. That’s not marketing speak. Tom lives twenty minutes from most job sites in Fort Worth, and when something’s not right, he wants to hear about it faster than any out-of-town general contractor ever would. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible bathroom remodel in Fort Worth. Ask around Ryan Place or Fairmount, or look up the license number yourself. We publish it.
Calls come to a live person 24 hours a day, not a voicemail box. Every scope change, every allowance, every adjustment arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. And the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every Fort Worth bathroom contract: if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print. No phone trees.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Fort Worth
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in Fort Worth means working around what’s behind the walls first: pier-and-beam foundations in 76110 bungalows, galvanized supply lines in post-WWII ranches, and the occasional subfloor that’s been hiding water damage since the 1980s. We scope that work in writing before demolition starts. Our full remodels cover layout changes, waterproofing, tile, vanities, fixtures, and the rough-in coordination with Fort Worth’s plumbing and electrical code requirements.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Fort Worth runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on the footprint, tile selection, and whether we’re moving a drain line. Most homeowners in Fairmount and the Near Southside are converting cramped tub-shower combos into curbless showers with frameless glass. For older homes on pier-and-beam, we check for slope and floor deflection before any mortar goes down. A shower that isn’t set on a stable base in clay country will crack grout within a couple of seasons.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions in Fort Worth run $3,500-$10,000, and they’re the most common project we do in 76109 and 76108 ranch homes where the original cast-iron tub has outlived its usefulness. We handle the drain relocation, waterproofing, and shower pan installation. If you’re planning to age in place, this is the remodel with the best return in both safety and resale.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation alone runs $800-$3,000 in Fort Worth, tile work is quoted by the square foot, and fixtures are priced at supply-house rates, not marked up twice. We carry KraftMaid and Cambria for countertops and vanities because those are brands you can look up before you sign. If you want a material allowance in writing, that’s standard practice with us, not a favor.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Worth
We stock and install brands Fort Worth homeowners can verify at any supply counter: KraftMaid and Cambria in bathrooms, GAF and CertainTeed on roofs, Andersen and Marvin on windows. We don’t show up with mystery materials off the back of a van. Fort Worth customers with older homes often ask us to match existing cabinet profiles or tile patterns, and having direct accounts with these manufacturers means shorter lead times and honest pricing. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We put it all in writing.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Fort Worth Homes
Fort Worth’s housing stock and soil conditions create a specific set of bathroom issues we’ve learned to spot early. Here’s what we run into most often:
- Subfloor rot from pier-and-beam moisture. Homes in 76110 and 76104 sit close to the ground, and decades of bathroom humidity without proper ventilation rots the subfloor from below. We inspect the joist bays before we lay anything new.
- Wall tile cracking from clay soil movement. Fort Worth sits on Blackland Clay that shrinks and heaves dramatically between drought and heavy rain. When the slab or pier-and-beam structure shifts even a quarter inch, wall tile and grout lines crack. We assess the subfloor condition before tile installation so the new work doesn’t inherit the old problem.
- Cast-iron drain lines at end of life. 1920s-1950s homes in Fort Worth’s inner ZIP codes often still have original cast-iron bathroom drain lines. We pressure-test them during a remodel and replace what’s failing. Skipping this step means opening the walls twice.
- Ventilation that never worked properly. Many of Fort Worth’s older bungalows have undersized bath fans or none at all. We upgrade exhaust capacity during remodels, because the humid subtropical climate east of the Chisholm Trail makes mold a real problem in bathrooms.
One Fort Worth-specific note: several inner-city neighborhoods, including Fairmount and Ryan Place in 76110, fall under Fort Worth’s Historic and Cultural Landmarks overlay. Interior remodels rarely require design review, but if your bathroom remodel includes any exterior work like a new window opening or an exhaust vent relocation, you’ll need a Certificate of Appropriateness before the permit is issued. We handle that paperwork as part of the job, and we’ve been through the process enough times to know exactly what the Landmarks Commission looks for. A contractor from Arlington or Burleson won’t know that step exists.
It’s no small thing to note that Fort Worth’s climate plays a role here too. The February 2021 freeze exposed building envelope failures all over the city, and in bathrooms specifically that meant frozen pipe chases in exterior walls and condensation issues where insulation was never properly sealed. We now routinely check wall cavities and chases during bathroom remodels in Fort Worth, regardless of the home’s age.
We’ve also spent years working around Fort Worth’s urban epicenter of the Barnett Shale period. Homes built or plumbed during the 2000s in some city permit areas sit on land where localized subsidence has been observed. When a homeowner in those neighborhoods sees tile cracks or a vanity pulling away from the wall, we check the slab and the water lines before we assume it’s a simple repair. That level of local knowledge only comes from working in Fort Worth for years, not from running a call center in another state.

A small bathroom remodel in Fort Worth runs $5,000-$12,000, which is in line with the broader Metroplex but often comes in lower than Dallas because Fort Worth’s older housing stock tends to have smaller bathroom footprints. The real variable is what’s behind the walls: pier-and-beam subfloors and aging cast-iron drains can add to the final number, which is why we inspect before quoting. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact number on your bathroom.
