Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Laredo’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, and his sons run the crews. When we work in Laredo, you’re getting the same owner-operated approach that’s defined Barrett & Sons for over 29 years: written change orders before any scope changes, permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise written into the contract. If something isn’t right after we finish, one call brings Tom back. That’s not a slogan; it’s a guarantee printed on every bathroom contract we sign.
Homeowners in Laredo who’ve been burned by companies that quote one number on the phone and hand them another bill at the door find a different experience with us. Every allowance, every tile selection, every change to the shower layout arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we make sure that relationship stays clean on every bathroom remodel we do across the 78040, 78045, 78046, and 78049 ZIP codes.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Laredo
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We gut and rebuild bathrooms across Laredo, from master suites in the newer subdivisions off Loop 20 to the older homes near downtown that need a complete refresh. A full remodel means new plumbing rough-ins where needed, new tile, new fixtures, new vanities, and a layout that actually works for how your family uses the room. We handle the entire job with our own crews, and every step from demolition to final inspection gets a written scope before we start.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most-requested bathroom upgrade in Laredo, and we install everything from single-panel surrounds to fully tiled custom showers with benches and niches. Given the hard water you see throughout Webb County, we recommend tile and glass treatments that won’t cloud up in two years. Our shower remodels run $4,500 to $12,000 for most Laredo homes, depending on the tile work and glass enclosure you choose.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower is a smart move for Laredo homeowners who want easier access without expanding the footprint of the bathroom. Most conversions run $3,500 to $10,000 in Laredo, and we can typically keep the existing drain location so you don’t pay for major plumbing reroutes. We’ll walk you through tile choices that stand up to the heat and mineral content in local water before any work begins.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bathroom doesn’t need a full gut; it needs a new vanity, better tile, and fixtures that don’t look like they came from a 1990s clearance aisle. We install vanities in the $800 to $3,000 range and tiling that ranges from a simple backsplash replacement to full wall installs. Bathroom Remodeling means more than swapping hardware, and we’ll help you match the vanity, the tile, and the fixtures so the room looks intentional rather than patched together.

Trusted Brands We Service in Laredo
We install materials you can look up by name, not mystery products off the back of a van. In Laredo bathrooms, that means cabinets and vanities from KraftMaid, shower systems from Delta and Moen, and tile from vendors we’ve worked with for years. When something needs replacing down the line, you won’t be hunting for a part number that doesn’t exist. Our crews carry common replacement parts for the brands we install, so a warranty call doesn’t mean waiting two weeks for a part to ship.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Laredo Homes
- Fast-built subdivision bathrooms. Most of Laredo’s housing stock went up post-NAFTA, built fast and at volume on slab-on-grade foundations. We regularly see showers with insufficient waterproofing behind the tile, because the original builder cut corners to hit a timeline. When we open those walls, we fix the waterproofing before any new tile goes in.
- Hard water damage on fixtures and glass. Laredo’s water leaves a mineral film on shower glass, faucets, and tile within months. We recommend glass treatments and finish choices that resist the buildup, and we’ll show you what holds up based on what we’ve installed across the city.
- Heat-stressed caulking and sealant. With summer highs over 104°F and under eight inches of rain a year, bathroom sealants and caulking in Laredo break down in three to four years instead of the seven to ten you’d expect in a moderate climate. We use commercial-grade products rated for this exact environment.
- Foundation movement cracking tile and grout. Laredo’s clay soil shrinks and swells with the rare rain events, and slab-on-grade foundations move with it. Hairline cracks in bathroom floor tile and cracked grout lines are often the first visible sign. We check for this during every bathroom estimate and factor it into the scope before we quote.
