AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Keene
A full bathroom remodel in Keene typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with a tub-to-shower conversion starting around $3,500. We know that range matters, because we also know Keene isn’t Cleburne or Burleson. Homes here near Southwestern Adventist University are often older pier-and-beam or mid-century slabs, and the Blackland Prairie clay under them moves with every wet winter and dry summer. That ground movement shows up in cracked shower pans, doors that no longer close square, and tile grout that won’t stay put. If you’re staring at any of that right now, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll schedule a look before you spend another weekend wondering what’s behind the drywall.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Keene’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and put his name on the truck. Not a franchise name, not a call center name, his name. When his sons run a crew in Keene, the person you shake hands with on Monday is the same person who answers if something isn’t right in month three. That’s why we write the 90-Day Done Right Promise into every contract: one call brings Tom back, no chase, no fine print.
We’re not strangers to Johnson County. We understand Keene’s Sabbath-observing community, anchored around Southwestern Adventist University, which means we schedule consultations and crew days Sunday through Friday. You won’t get a knock on a Saturday morning from us. That’s a small thing to pay attention to, and it’s exactly the kind of thing out-of-town outfits miss. We also publish Tom’s name, address, and license number. Look it up. He expects you to. Most of our Keene customers called us after another contractor told them a permit was “optional.” Around here, permits get pulled and inspections get signed, because the inspector works for you, not for us.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Keene
These are the jobs we do most often in Keene. Each one gets a written scope, written allowances, and written change orders before anything changes. That’s how we’ve run Bathroom Remodeling for 29 years, and we’re not about to change it now.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A gut-and-rebuild bathroom in Keene usually runs $9,000 to $28,000, depending on whether we’re moving plumbing, repairing subfloor, or working around older framing. In the mid-century homes off 76059 near campus, we often find cast-iron drain lines that have turned brittle and need replacing while the walls are open. That’s cheaper to address during a remodel than after a leak rots the vanity cabinet.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Keene generally runs $4,500 to $12,000. A curbless entry with a frameless glass enclosure is a popular choice for homeowners planning to stay in their homes as they get older, and it’s genuinely easier on knees and hips. We also rebuild shower pans that have cracked due to slab movement, which is common in this part of Johnson County.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower costs $3,500 to $10,000 in Keene, and it’s one of the most practical upgrades for an older one-bathroom home. We handle the full conversion, including demo, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, and installation. We’ll also check the subfloor and joists while the tub is out. In pier-and-beam homes near University Drive, that’s prime time to sister a joist or repair termite damage before it spreads.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000 in Keene, and tile work is priced per square foot after we measure. We’re not shy about telling you to buy the vanity you actually want and letting us fit it properly, rather than settling for a box-store special that won’t survive a Keene summer’s humidity swings. Fixtures get installed to code, which means shutoff valves that work and P-traps that don’t leak.

Trusted Brands We Service in Keene
We’re a dealer and installer for Techo-Bloc and Cambria when jobs call for it, and we stock common repair parts in our metro DFW office to keep Keene projects moving without a week of waiting on a truck from somewhere else. If you’ve already picked a vanity from a supplier or a tile line you love, we’ll work with that too. What we won’t do is show up with mystery materials off a van and hope you don’t ask. You can look up every brand we install, same as you can look up Tom Barrett’s license.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Keene Homes
Keene’s mix of older slab and pier-and-beam homes, plus newer tract construction, gives us a pretty predictable list of what’s behind the old tile. Here’s what we find out in Keene more often than anywhere else nearby:
- Cracked shower pans from soil movement. The Blackland Prairie clay under Keene swells in wet winters and shrinks in dry summers. That seasonal heave is enough to crack a mortar bed shower pan and start a slow leak behind the wall.
- Cast-iron drain lines in mid-century homes. A lot of the older homes around the university still have original cast-iron DWV pipe. By now it’s pitted and flaking inside. When you remodel a bathroom, it’s often smarter to replace it than build new work over failing pipe.
- Doors and cabinets that shifted out of square. Even newer engineered slabs in Johnson County can move enough to make a bathroom door stick or a vanity sit uneven. We square the framing and shim the cabinets before tile goes in, so the new work doesn’t inherit the old movement.
- Exhaust fans venting into the attic or nowhere at all. Keene’s humid spring and summer air turns a poorly vented bathroom into a mold problem fast. We won’t finish a remodel without a properly vented fan and a real roof or soffit termination.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Keene, TX
You already saw the headline: a full bathroom remodel in Keene runs $9,000 to $28,000. Small bathrooms with a standard layout fall toward the lower end, around $5,000 to $12,000. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000. Tub-to-shower conversion is $3,500 to $10,000. Vanity installation alone is $800 to $3,000. What moves the number is almost always demolition surprises, moving the toilet or shower drain, and whether the subfloor needs structural repair.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Keene
Most Keene remodels start within two to four weeks once the scope is signed and materials are ordered. We schedule work Sunday through Friday out of respect for Keene’s Sabbath-observing community. We won’t schedule a Saturday consult or crew day, and we’ll tell you that up front. Call (877) 610-1318 to get on the calendar before the schedule fills for the season.
Yes, we serve all of 76059 and the surrounding streets near campus, including the older mid-century neighborhoods around Southwestern Adventist University and the newer subdivisions south toward Cleburne. We don’t charge a trip fee inside Johnson County.
Not meaningfully. Pricing across Keene, Cleburne, Joshua, and Burleson runs within a few hundred dollars for the same scope. The bigger variable is your home’s age and foundation type. An older pier-and-beam house in Keene may need subfloor or joist repairs that a newer Burleson tract home doesn’t.
Not unless you change the scope, and if you do, you’ll receive a written change order before any additional work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. That’s not how we operate, and it’s why our contracts put every allowance and every scope change in writing.
Every completed job is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. We also stand behind manufacturer warranties on the materials we install. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll put the warranty language in your contract where you can read it before you sign.
