Bathroom Remodeling in Greatwood - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Greatwood

A full bathroom remodel in Greatwood typically runs $9,000-$28,000, and the job that catches most homeowners off guard isn’t the tile or the vanity. It’s the HOA architectural review. We know because we’ve done this work in Greatwood for years, and we still see the same question come up on nearly every job in Sugar Land, New Territory, Pecan Grove, and Four Corners: who files the paperwork, and when does the clock actually start? We do, and it starts the day you call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

Barrett & Sons is owner-operated by Tom Barrett, and his sons run the crews. That means the person who measures your shower pan and the person who signs the change order are people whose names you’ll learn. In a master-planned community like Greatwood, where every exterior change moves through the Greatwood Architectural Control Committee, that kind of accountability is the difference between a bathroom done in eight weeks and one sitting half-finished while a committee reviews material samples.

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

We’ve remodeled bathrooms in Greatwood Trails, Canyon Gate, Lakemont, and along Riverbrook Drive, so we know the ZIP code 77469 the way you know your HOA’s architectural guidelines. Homeowners here don’t ask whether we’ve worked in Greatwood. They ask when we last pulled a permit with Fort Bend County, and whether we know the current review timeline at the Greatwood ACC. We do, and on most bathroom remodels that don’t touch an exterior wall, we’re pulling the permit within a week of signing.

Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything. That transparency matters in Greatwood, where a lot of homeowners got burned after Harvey by out-of-town crews that quoted one price and walked. We’ve been owner-operated since 1998, and every job here has one thing in common: a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.

Scheduling to Greatwood is straightforward: our crews live and work across Fort Bend County, and a live person answers the phone 24/7. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. When you call (877) 610-1318, you reach someone who can talk intelligently about your project, your timeline, and your specific HOA submittal requirements.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Greatwood

Full Bathroom Remodeling

Complete tear-out and rebuild of your Greatwood bathroom, from the slab up. Most homes here were built between 1988 and 2012, so we’re frequently replacing original fiberglass pans, builder-grade vanities, and the first generation of acrylic surrounds. A full remodel in 77469 runs $9,000-$28,000, and the scope typically includes a Schluter waterproofing system, new valve and supply plumbing, and tile work done to Fort Bend County code.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in shower installation in Greatwood runs $4,500-$12,000, and it’s the most common upgrade in Lakemont and Canyon Gate homes. Many original Greatwood master baths have a soaking tub and a separate small shower. Homeowners in their 50s and 60s increasingly want the tub gone and the shower expanded. We handle the structural checks before we touch tile, because slab deflection in Fort Bend clay is real and it can crack grout within the first wet-dry cycle if you set heavy tile or a cast-iron pan on a moving slab.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

This is the single most requested service in Greatwood, and for good reason. Most original tubs here are 30 years old, fiberglass, and surrounded by drywall that has absorbed decades of shower steam. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500-$10,000, and it’s faster than a full remodel because the footprint usually doesn’t change. But if you’re moving a drain or touching an exterior wall for a new vent, the Greatwood ACC comes into play. We’ll walk you through exactly what triggers review and what doesn’t before we ever cut a hole. Learn more from our Bathroom Remodeling team.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Vanity installation runs $800-$3,000 in Greatwood, and we typically order from KraftMaid or local Fort Bend suppliers so you can touch the material before you buy it. The same goes for tile. We don’t push mystery brands off a van. You want Grohe fixtures, Sterling shower bases, or Schluter waterproofing? We’ll order it, price it in writing, and let you verify the model number before it ships.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greatwood

We stock and install Schluter waterproofing membranes, Sterling shower bases, and Grohe fixtures for Greatwood customers, so when a shower pan fails or a valve cartridge needs replacing, we’re not waiting on a distribution center three states away. Parts common to 1990s-era Greatwood bathrooms like the original Sterling fiberglass tubs and Grohe rough-in valves are typically within a day’s pickup for our local crews. The brand matters less than the installation, but we’d rather install materials you can look up yourself.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Greatwood Homes

• Original fiberglass pans with rotted subfloor underneath. In homes built around 1994, the first-generation fiberglass shower pans in Greatwood are now 30 years old, and the weep holes have long since clogged. When we pull the pan, we often find water damage that requires a written change order before new plywood and a waterproofing membrane go in.
• Slab movement that cracks tile grout. Fort Bend County’s heavy shrink-swell clay moves every year. We test for deflection before setting a cast-iron tub or large-format tile on an existing slab in any 77469 home, because the wet spring expand and summer contract cycle will find any weakness in the subfloor.
• High-CFM exhaust fans installed without HOA approval. In Greatwood, adding a new bathroom exhaust fan that vents through an exterior wall often triggers architectural review. Skip that step and you’ll get a stop-work order while sheetrock sits open. We file the submittal before the rough-in starts.
• Post-Harvey renovations that never filed a substantial improvement evaluation. If your Greatwood home sits within the Brazos River floodplain and you’re doing a large bathroom remodel, that work can trigger FEMA’s 50% substantial improvement rule. The county can revoke your permit mid-project and demand an elevation certificate. We evaluate this before the first permit application goes in.

Bathroom Remodeling in Greatwood: The HOA Sequencing Problem Nobody Talks About

Here’s the part most contractors don’t tell you until you’re three weeks into a Greatwood remodel and the sheetrock is open. The Greatwood Architectural Control Committee requires submittal of material samples, color chips, and elevation drawings for any bathroom remodel that moves an exterior vent, changes a window, or touches the brick-veneer envelope. That review adds 30-60 days before the county permit can even be pulled. In neighboring Sugar Land or Richmond, this gate doesn’t exist. In Greatwood it’s mandatory. The sequencing matters because the order of operations determines whether your shower valve sits behind open drywall for six weeks while a committee looks at window trim samples. We file the ACC packet first. We build the approval lead time into the draw schedule. And when the review is still pending, we phase the project so the rough-in that doesn’t touch the exterior moves forward while the committee finishes its look. That’s the piece we’ve learned from doing Greatwood bathroom projects year after year. It’s exactly what our Bathroom Remodeling in Greatwood page describes, and it’s the reason we don’t start demolition until the paperwork is staged correctly.

Lessons From a Recent Greatwood Trails Remodel

On a full bathroom remodel in the Greatwood Trails section, our crew started with a partial tub-to-shower conversion and immediately found rotted subfloor beneath the original 1994 fiberglass pan. The damage had been leaking for years, but it was hidden behind the acrylic surround. We stopped the rough-in, documented everything in writing, and issued a change order for new plywood and a Schluter waterproofing membrane. The homeowner had already scheduled the HOA submittal for the new vent hood weeks earlier, so while the ACC packet was in review, our crew was tearing out the rotten subfloor and making the structural pieces ready. The project stayed on schedule because the approval lead time was already built into the draw schedule. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and this one was on paper before we touched a single floor joist.
