AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Haltom City
Bathroom remodeling in Haltom City typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full gut and rebuild, with smaller projects like a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve worked on enough 1950s and 60s ranch homes in 76117 to know what’s behind those walls before we open them. If you’re planning a remodel, call Tom at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with line-item pricing you can actually verify.
Haltom City isn’t a new-construction suburb. It’s a fully built-out post-WWII grid where nearly every home was framed before current building codes existed. That changes how a bathroom remodel gets scoped, priced, and permitted. We’ll walk you through exactly what that means for your house, your budget, and your timeline.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Haltom City’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and still answers his own phone. His sons run the crews. When we say someone named Barrett will be on your Haltom City job site, we mean it. That matters in a city where homeowners have been burned by outfits that quote one number over the phone and hand over a different invoice at the end.
Every bathroom remodel we do in Haltom City gets a written scope of work, written allowances, and written change orders before any scope change touches the job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me – that’s why we like having him on the job. If something’s not done right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings us back. No fine print, no argument.
We live and work in this part of Tarrant County. We know the difference between a house on the east side of Denton Highway and one off of Watauga Road. We know what 1958 plumbing looks like when you open a wall. And we know that Haltom City’s clay soil doesn’t stay still, which is something no national outfit’s call center will ever mention until the tile starts cracking.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Haltom City
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Haltom City means working with the home you have, not the home a builder stamped out last year. We scope every job for what’s behind the surfaces: galvanized supply lines, aluminum branch wiring, old tub leaks that rotted the subfloor, and slab movement that’s been shifting door frames for decades. You get a written plan that accounts for all of it before demolition starts.
We handle the framing, plumbing rough-in, electrical corrections, tile, fixtures, and finish carpentry. We pull permits and get inspections signed. You get a bathroom that won’t crack apart the first time the ground gets wet.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Most tub-to-shower conversions in Haltom City run $3,500-$10,000, but the number that actually matters is what’s under the tub. In older 76117 homes, we often find subfloor rot from slow leaks that went unnoticed for years. Sometimes the drain needs to move. Sometimes the slab itself needs attention before we set anything. You’ll know the real scope in writing before we start, not after we’ve already cut into the floor.
We also check for post-tension cables in the slab before any concrete cutting happens. Cutting into a 1960s post-tension slab without verifying cable locations is how a $4,000 conversion becomes a $14,000 structural repair. We won’t skip that step, and we’ll tell you if it changes your plan.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Haltom City typically falls between $4,500 and $12,000 depending on size, tile selection, and whether we’re adding a curbless entry. For older homeowners, a curbless shower with a built-in bench and grab bars can mean staying in the house you’ve lived in for thirty years instead of moving. We build these with waterproofing systems that stand up to the humidity swings we get in North Texas summers.
Frameless glass enclosures are a frequent request, and we install them after the tile has cured and the walls have been checked for square. An out-of-square wall on a 60-year-old house will ruin a frameless glass panel faster than anything else. We correct the framing first.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation runs $800-$3,000 in this market, and we install what you pick: not mystery stock from a van. We carry lines you can look up. For tile, we work with homeowners across Haltom City to pick materials that can handle a slab that moves. Large-format tile on an unstable floor will crack. We’ll tell you that before you spend money on it, and we’ll recommend the right underlayment or crack-isolation membrane for the job.
Fixtures are another place where older homes bite. If your supply lines are original galvanized steel, the water pressure at a new shower head will disappoint you unless we address it during rough-in. That’s part of the written scope, not a surprise at the end.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Haltom City Homes
- Slab movement cracking new tile and grout. Haltom City sits on shrink-swell clay that heaves during wet winters and pulls away hard in summer droughts. Sticking doors and diagonal wall cracks often mean active foundation shift. Tile laid over that without proper isolation will crack within a year.
- Asbestos-containing materials from the 1950s and 60s. Old floor tiles and siding in 76117 homes frequently contain asbestos. We don’t ignore it. We include testing and, when needed, abatement as a written allowance so you’re not surprised when the crew uncovers it during demo.
- Galvanized supply lines and bad rough-ins. Original galvanized plumbing from the late 1950s corrodes from the inside out. You won’t know until the walls are open and the water pressure at the new shower is half what it should be. We check and scope it up front.
- Rotted subfloors from decades-old tub leaks. A 1962 tub that never got re-sealed has likely been leaking into the floor framing for years. We see this constantly on ranches along Watauga Road and across the older Haltom City grid. It changes the framing scope and we write it into the quote, not onto your invoice later.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Haltom City
Expansive clay soil adds foundation evaluation and often stabilization to the scope, which typically adds several thousand dollars to a bathroom remodel in 76117. The dense grid of 1950s-60s slabs across Haltom City was poured before modern geotechnical standards accounted for extreme clay movement. When a slab heaves, new tile and grout crack within a year if the movement isn’t addressed first. We check for sticking doors, diagonal cracks, and sloping floors during the estimate, and we’ll tell you if foundation work is needed before we quote finish materials. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact number on your house.
Yes, we scope asbestos testing and abatement as a written allowance on any Haltom City bathroom remodel where the home predates the late 1970s. Asbestos-containing floor tiles and siding are common in this housing stock. We won’t demo through it blind. The allowance goes in your quote before you sign, and if testing comes back clean, the money stays in your pocket. That’s the point of writing it down up front.
Often yes, but not always. Many 1960s Haltom City tubs share a 1-1/2-inch drain line that’s undersized for a modern 2-inch shower drain. If the drain needs to move, we check for post-tension cables in the slab before any cutting. In some cases a curbless shower requires more slope than the existing floor allows, which adds concrete work. You’ll know the answer for your specific bathroom before you sign anything. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free site visit.
Because newer suburbs don’t have 60-year-old galvanized pipes, asbestos, rotted subfloors, and shifting slabs hiding behind the walls. Haltom City’s fully built-out post-WWII housing stock requires renovation and structural rehabilitation, not new-build construction. The trades on a 1958 ranch have to work around mid-century framing, outdated plumbing rough-ins, and foundation movement. A national outfit that quotes over the phone without seeing any of that will hand you a change order later. We scope it before the first nail moves. Estimates are free at (877) 610-1318.
Yes, every job gets a written draw schedule, including small bathroom remodels in the $5,000-$12,000 range. You’ll know what’s paid at contract signing, what’s paid at rough-in, and what’s paid at final inspection sign-off. No draws happen ahead of work that hasn’t been completed. It’s just how Tom runs the company, and it’s written on every contract.
