AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across North Richland Hills
A full bathroom remodel in North Richland Hills runs $9,000 to $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions typically between $3,500 and $10,000 depending on whether you’re in an older 76180 slab home or a newer 76182 build. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been working both sides of that divide long enough to know the difference before we ever send a crew out. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will talk you through what your specific house actually needs, not what a call center script says it needs.
If you live off Rufe Snow Drive in a 1970s brick ranch or off Davis Boulevard in a master-planned subdivision, you already know your house has its own rules. Post-tension slabs. HOA design committees. Builder warranties you don’t want to accidentally void. We know those rules because we work in them every week. When you call, you get a straight answer about scope, price, and timing. And every number we give you arrives in writing before a single nail moves.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Richland Hills’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his name is on the truck, the contract, and the license. That’s not a slogan. It means when something goes sideways, the person you call is the person who owns the problem. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from a call center. Tom’s sons run the crews, and Tom shows up on site most days. If you see him at the Home Depot on Davis Boulevard on a Saturday, he’ll shake your hand and ask how the tile’s holding up.
North Richland Hills customers tend to call us after they’ve already been burned once. The story is usually the same: a national outfit quoted one number on the phone, then handed over a different bill at the door. We don’t work that way. Every scope item, every allowance, every price change is a written change order you approve before work proceeds. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. That’s how we’ve kept our reputation in North Richland Hills for over two decades. Not with marketing. With paperwork and showing up.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in North Richland Hills
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A complete bathroom remodel in North Richland Hills usually means gutting a 1965 to 1985 bathroom down to the studs, replacing subfloor that has sagged from decades of DFW shrink-swell movement, and rebuilding with materials that actually belong in this climate and this housing stock. We handle everything from layout changes to finish carpentry. If you’re in an older 76180 home, we’ll run a cable locator before any slab penetration. That’s not optional here. It’s how you avoid turning a $12,000 remodel into a $30,000 slab repair.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most common upgrade we build in North Richland Hills, especially in master bathrooms where homeowners are aging in place and want to lose the tub step-over. We install Schluter waterproofing systems and work with Grohe fixtures. A walk-in shower installation in NRH typically runs $4,500 to $12,000, depending on glass enclosure choices and whether we’re moving the drain on a slab.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
In the 76180 ZIP, tub-to-shower conversions almost always involve a post-tension slab. Moving a drain on a slab home without a cable locate is how you void a slab warranty and trigger five-figure remediation. We run the locator, document the locate, and keep everything on record for your builder or future buyer. A tub-to-shower conversion in North Richland Hills runs $3,500 to $10,000, and we’ll give you a written line-item scope before we touch the first tile.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Builder-grade vanities in 76182 master-planned homes are often the first thing new homeowners replace. We install Cambria quartz tops, solid wood vanities, and Grohe or Moen plumbing fixtures. A bathroom vanity installation in North Richland Hills runs $800 to $3,000, and we’ll help you pick materials that meet your HOA’s design standards if you’re in a governed community.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Richland Hills
We stock and install Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling tubs and shower bases, and Grohe fixtures for North Richland Hills jobs. These aren’t mystery brands off a van. You can look them up, price them, and verify them before you sign. For roofing work on the same property, we carry GAF. Having brand-name depth across every trade means we aren’t going to sell you something we don’t stand behind. If a Schluter drain assembly fails, there’s a documented warranty. That’s the point. We want you to be able to check our work, not take our word for it.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in North Richland Hills Homes
- Post-tension cable strikes during drain relocation. In 76180 slab homes built from the 1970s onward, moving a shower or tub drain without a cable locate can sever a live post-tension cable. The repair often costs more than the original remodel, and it voids the slab warranty.
- Rotted subfloor under vanities and tubs. Decades of shrink-swell movement in the Cross Timbers/Blackland Prairie transitional soil means older NRH bathrooms frequently have subfloor damage that isn’t visible until we pull the old tub or tile.
- HOA stop-work orders in 76182 developments. Changing a bathroom window size, exterior vent location, or plumbing stack through an exterior wall without architectural committee approval can trigger fines and work stoppage in newer master-planned communities.
- Bouncy bathroom floors from sagging joists or slab settlement. North Richland Hills’s expansive clay soils move during drought-then-heavy-rain cycles. That movement shows up as cracked floor tile, loose vanities, and shower bases that no longer sit flush.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in North Richland Hills
Yes. If your North Richland Hills home was built on a post-tension cable slab, any interior cutting, core drilling, or drain relocation requires a cable locate first. Hitting a live cable can void the slab warranty and trigger five-figure remediation costs. We run the locator before any slab penetration and document the results. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain whether your specific house needs it.
In most cases, no. Builder warranties cover defects in original workmanship, not modifications you make after closing. That’s why we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job in North Richland Hills, and why we document every locate and every change order. If your warranty is still active, we’ll tell you exactly what the remodel does and doesn’t affect before you sign anything.
They can stop the job before it starts. Many 76182 master-planned subdivisions have architectural design committees that review exterior changes like window sizes, vent locations, and plumbing stack modifications. Interior work is usually unrestricted, but if your remodel touches the building envelope, you need approval first. We handle the paperwork and keep the work within your governing documents. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re not sure what your HOA requires.
A full remodel in a 76180 brick ranch typically runs $9,000 to $18,000, depending on whether we’re moving drains on a post-tension slab, replacing rotted subfloor, or upgrading plumbing from cast iron to PVC. Tub-to-shower conversions in those older homes run $3,500 to $10,000. Every job gets a written line-item scope before work begins, so you’ll never see a surprise invoice at the end. Estimates are free.
A bouncy bathroom floor usually means the subfloor or joists have deteriorated from moisture or years of shrink-swell soil movement under your slab. It’s fixable, and a bathroom remodel is the right time to do it, because the repair happens before new tile goes down. We replace damaged subfloor, address the framing, and document the repair so it’s part of the permanent job record. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate and we’ll tell you what’s actually under your bathroom floor.
