AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lantana
Bathroom remodeling in Lantana typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut-and-replace, with smaller jobs like a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Those are honest numbers for this market, where post-tension slabs and HOA architectural review add real steps that big-box contractors often skip. If you live in Lantana and you’re tired of quotes that change after the first wall comes down, we should talk. Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews, and we answer our own phone.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lantana’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve been doing this since 1998, and we work in Lantana regularly. Not because it’s on the way to somewhere else. Because the homes here, built mostly between 2003 and 2015 on Blackland Prairie clay, have specific challenges that reward a contractor who has seen them before. Post-tension slab cables that must be scanned before any drain relocation. Builder waterproofing that hits the 15-year mark and fails quietly behind tile. An Architectural Review Committee that gets a vote before Denton County will even look at your permit application.
Our reputation in Lantana comes from the same thing it comes from everywhere we work: we put our name on the truck and our name on the contract. We’re not the cheapest bid. We’re the one in writing. Every scope change on a Lantana job arrives as a written change order before work starts. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. And every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If it isn’t done right, Tom comes back. One call.
Crew members are background-checked and uniformed. A live person answers the phone 24/7. That matters to Lantana homeowners because when you’re three weeks into a remodel and the county inspector has a question, you don’t want voicemail. You want Tom.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lantana
Here’s what we actually do in Lantana bathrooms, and how each piece works in these specific homes. These are the four services Lantana homeowners call us about most.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Lantana means taking it down to studs and subfloor, relocating plumbing where it needs to go, and rebuilding with materials that hold up to North Texas humidity swings and hard water. In these 2000s-era tract homes, that means dealing with what the original builder left behind: fiberglass tubs, speckled tile, and vanities that were fine in 2005 and now look exactly their age. A full remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size, layout changes, and finish level. This is also where the dual approval process matters most, because if you’re moving a toilet or a shower drain, the ARC wants to see the plan before the county gets involved.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation is the single most requested upgrade we do in Lantana, and it’s not close. Homeowners here are aging in place, and the original builder tub is the first thing to go. A curbless walk-in shower transformed a primary bath in the Bandera neighborhood recently, replacing a builder-grade acrylic tub with a zero-threshold entry and hand-laid porcelain tile. Before any plumbing rough-in, our crew scanned the post-tension slab to map the cables. That step kept the homeowner’s structural warranty intact. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 in Lantana, and the cost depends heavily on whether you’re working inside the original tub footprint or expanding into a closet or hallway.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion is the fastest, most cost-effective way to make a Lantana bathroom feel new, especially in secondary baths that see guest traffic. You’re removing the old tub, reworking the drain for a shower pan, and tiling the surround. In these homes, that almost always means cutting into a post-tension slab to relocate the drain line from tub position to shower position. We scan every slab before we cut, and we don’t skip that step no matter how tight the timeline is. The cost is $3,500 to $10,000, and most conversions run under a week once permits clear.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones are fine and the bathroom just needs a face. Vanity installation in Lantana runs $800 to $3,000 depending on whether you’re swapping a standard 36-inch cabinet or going to a custom double vanity. We carry KraftMaid and Cambria, and we’ll show you the difference between a particleboard box and furniture-grade plywood. Tile work, from floor to shower surround, is priced by the job after we see the room. New fixtures, lighting, and hardware all go in with the same care, because a $4,000 bathroom that leaks at the shutoff valve is a $10,000 problem by Memorial Day.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We don’t install mystery brands off a van. In Lantana bathrooms, we lean on KraftMaid and Cambria for cabinetry and counters, and when windows or exterior work touch the bath, we use Simonton and Ply Gem. Those are names you can look up before you sign anything. Because we serve Lantana regularly, we keep common parts and materials staged at our Dallas-Fort Worth office, which means fewer mid-job runs and fewer surprises. You’ll know what’s going in before it arrives.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Cutting post-tension slab cables without scanning first. This is the number one catastrophic error in Lantana remodels. These slabs have tensioned steel cables running through them, and severing even one can cause irreversible structural damage. We scan every slab before any concrete cut, full stop.
- Builder waterproofing failing at the 15-year mark. Lantana homes are now 15 to 20 years old, and the original shower pan liners and waterproofing membranes are reaching the end of their working life. We often discover failures only after old tile is pulled, which is exactly why we write change orders before we touch the scope.
- ARC rejection on tile and fixture choices. Lantana’s Architectural Review Committee has design standards, and homeowners who pick non-conforming tile or fixture changes sometimes get rejected and pay for a redo. We submit plans that pass the first time because we’ve worked with the ARC on dozens of jobs.
- Clay soil movement stressing ground-contact framing. The Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts hard with weather, and any bathroom addition or expansion tied into the slab needs careful structural assessment up front. We don’t guess at this. We look.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Lantana
Yes, if your remodel involves any structural or plumbing change, you need approval from Lantana’s Architectural Review Committee before Denton County will issue a permit. Interior cosmetic work like paint or fixture swaps may not trigger ARC review, but if you’re moving a drain, expanding a footprint, or touching an exterior wall, plan for it. We handle submittals for you, and we build the review time into the schedule so it isn’t a surprise. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your specific scope.
You can, but only after the slab has been scanned for tensioned cables. Lantana’s homes are almost universally on post-tension slabs, and hitting a cable during concrete cutting can cause irreversible structural damage and void your original builder’s engineering warranty. We scan before any cut, every time, no exceptions. If you’re planning a tub-to-shower conversion and the drain needs to move, call us for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through what the scan involves.
A full bathroom remodel in Lantana runs $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathroom remodels at $5,000 to $12,000, walk-in shower installation at $4,500 to $12,000, and tub-to-shower conversion at $3,500 to $10,000. Those ranges reflect what we see in this market, including post-tension slab work and ARC coordination. For an exact quote on your bathroom, call (877) 610-1318, and we’ll send you a written line-item estimate.
Plan on four to eight weeks from contract to completion for a typical full bath remodel in Lantana, with about two to three weeks of that being ARC review and county permit processing. Tub-to-shower conversions and smaller vanity or tile jobs can run faster, often under two weeks once approvals clear. We give you a written schedule up front, and we stick to it unless something in the wall changes the scope, in which case you’ll see a change order before the work changes. Call (877) 610-1318 for a realistic timeline on your project.
They’re worth upgrading now, especially at the 15-to-20-year age when waterproofing is starting to fail and the original fixtures are dated. Waiting doesn’t make the underlying issues better; it only lets a slow leak do more damage behind the tile. Upgrading the shower, vanity, and tile in a Lantana bath now also means you control the timing before the ARC and county process creates extra pressure on a rushed job. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll help you decide what’s worth doing first.
One Thing to Know Before You Remodel in Lantana
Every full bathroom remodel in Lantana with any structural or plumbing change has to clear the community’s Architectural Review Committee before Denton County will issue a permit. That’s a dual gate that doesn’t exist in Argyle or Bartonville. The ARC wants to see design details, material selections, and sometimes even color palettes before the county ever gets a look at structural drawings. We’ve been through this process enough times that we know how to sequence it: submit early, coordinate both reviews, and build the lead time into the schedule. Contractors who treat the ARC as an afterthought end up with a homeowner sitting on a torn-out bathroom for three extra weeks. We don’t do that to people.
