Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Jacinto City
What does a bathroom remodel in Jacinto City actually cost? A full remodel in the 77013 ZIP typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with walk-in shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Those are the numbers we quote on paper before any work begins, and they’re the numbers we stand behind when the job’s done. If you live near Mercury Drive or Holland Avenue, call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your bathroom with you, measure it properly, and hand you a written estimate with real line items instead of a handshake guess.
Jacinto City is its own municipality, completely surrounded by Houston but governed by its own building department. That single fact trips up more outside contractors than anything else we see. Pull a Houston permit by mistake and your inspection gets rejected before the first tile is set. We’ve worked inside Jacinto City’s municipal system long enough to know exactly which hall to call, what the inspectors look for, and how to keep your project moving without delays.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Jacinto City’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons are on-site most days. That’s not a marketing line, it’s a scheduling reality. When you hire us for a bathroom remodel in Jacinto City, the person who shakes your hand at the estimate is related to the person who runs the crew. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look it up before you sign anything, and you should. Plenty of homeowners in the 77013 ZIP have already been burned by a national outfit that quoted one price on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. We don’t operate that way, and we never have.
Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every surprise that comes up when we open a 1950s bathroom wall comes to you as a written change order before work continues. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We also back every completed bathroom with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That promise is on the contract in plain language, not buried in fine print.
Calls to (877) 610-1318 are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. When you need a question answered about your Jacinto City remodel, you get a human being.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Jacinto City
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bath remodel in Jacinto City often means opening up a compact post-WWII bathroom and reworking the plumbing, electrical, and subfloor before the finishes ever go in. Those 1940s through 1960s homes off Mercury Drive were built for Ship Channel workers, and the bathrooms were small, utilitarian, and usually single-bath. When we gut one, we plan around what’s behind the drywall, not just what’s in front of it. Permits are pulled through Jacinto City’s own building department every single time, and the inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers make sense for a lot of Jacinto City homeowners, especially in the smaller baths where a tub crammed against the wall eats the entire room. We install Schluter waterproofing systems and Grohe fixtures, brands you can look up and verify. A curbless shower with a frameless glass enclosure changes how the whole room feels, even when the footprint stays exactly the same. That matters when your home was built in 1955 and you don’t have square footage to spare.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Swapping a tub for a shower is one of the most common requests we get in the 77013 ZIP. It’s practical for aging-in-place homeowners, it opens up floor space, and it eliminates the step-over threshold that gets harder every year. A tub-to-shower conversion in Jacinto City typically runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on the condition of the drain lines and whether we need to move any plumbing. We handle the fiberglass pan or tile base, the waterproofing, the plumbing reroute, and the finish work, all under Jacinto City permits.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones of a bathroom are fine and it’s the 1970s vanity, cracked tile, and corroded fixtures that need to go. We do that work too: vanity replacement from $800 to $3,000 in Jacinto City, tile work, plumbing fixture swaps, lighting, and ventilation. Sterling and Grohe fixtures go in often because they hold up to the humidity swings that come with living on the bayou plain. If you’re only updating one piece of the puzzle, we still pull permits where they’re required and put the scope in writing before anything is ordered.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Jacinto City Homes
- Rotted subfloor around the tub and toilet: Homes built in the 1940s through 1960s often have decades of slow leaks that went unnoticed. When we pull the old tub or toilet, the subfloor underneath is frequently spongy and needs replacement before anything new goes in. Permitted work almost always triggers a subfloor inspection, and we plan for that from the first estimate.
- Cast iron plumbing at the end of its life: Much of Jacinto City’s housing stock still has original cast iron drain lines. They’re brittle, corroded, and often partially collapsed. A bathroom remodel is the time to address them, not after we’ve tiled over the problem. We scope the plumbing early so you know the cost before we ever open a wall.
- Flood remediation and moisture management: Jacinto City sits in the flat, low-lying bayou plain near Hunting Bayou. Hurricane Harvey put water in a lot of these homes, and even without a major storm, the humidity here is relentless. Proper ventilation, waterproofed seams, and mold-resistant drywall aren’t upgrades, they’re baseline requirements for a bathroom that will last.
- Undersized electrical and missing GFCI protection: Many 1950s bathrooms in the 77013 ZIP don’t have GFCI outlets or enough circuits for modern fixtures, heated floors, or ventilation fans. When permitted work triggers an electrical inspection, these become code compliance items. We handle that process with Jacinto City’s inspectors so you don’t get a nasty surprise at the end.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Jacinto City, TX
A full bathroom remodel in Jacinto City runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the spread reflects what’s behind your walls. Small bath remodels land in the $5,000 to $12,000 range. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000, and tub-to-shower conversion is usually $3,500 to $10,000. Vanity work alone is $800 to $3,000. What moves the number is the condition of subfloor, plumbing age, whether we need to move a wall, and the level of tile and fixture you choose. We don’t hand you a number and then “discover” changes later. Every change order is written and signed before work proceeds. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you real numbers in writing.
