Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate before anything gets signed, so you know exactly where your money goes.
Pecan Grove isn’t like the incorporated cities around it. There’s no city hall to walk into, no municipal inspector with a desk down the street. Permits run through Fort Bend County, and depending on the job, the Drainage District wants a look too. That two-agency path trips up contractors who don’t work here regularly. We do. Tom Barrett and his sons have been running crews through Pecan Grove long enough to know which submittals need the extra signature and which ones don’t, and that’s the difference between a bathroom that starts on schedule and one that sits waiting on paperwork. We also handle Fence Installation in Pecan Grove for homeowners looking to complete their exterior projects.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pecan Grove’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction started in 1998, and Tom Barrett still answers his own phone. That matters in a place like Pecan Grove, where the contractor who quoted last year’s job might not be reachable when the county kicks back a drainage question. Our name is on the truck, our address and license number are published for anyone to verify, and the crew members who show up are background-checked and uniformed, not day labor picked up at a corner.
Bathroom work here carries specific headaches. Many homes in Pecan Grove Plantation date to the 1980s and early 1990s, slab-on-grade construction with original cast iron plumbing that’s nearing the end of its useful life. Post-Harvey rebuilds elevated on piers present a completely different set of rough-in and access considerations. We’ve opened up both. We know when a bathroom floor needs a plumbing reroute versus a simple fixture swap, and we’ll put that in writing before you spend a dollar.
We also show up when we say we will. Calls are answered by a live person around the clock, not a voicemail box. If something isn’t right after the job is done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract, not buried in fine print.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Pecan Grove
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in Pecan Grove usually means dealing with what’s under the slab: original drain lines, shifting soil from Beaumont Clay, and sometimes elevated framing from a post-Harvey rebuild. We also offer our Driveway & Pavers in Pecan Grove for homeowners upgrading their exterior hardscaping. We scope it honestly, pull the Fort Bend County permit, and install named-brand materials you can look up. Expect a full remodel to land between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on square footage and fixture grade.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade in the Plantation’s original homes, where the master baths were built around tubs that don’t fit how people live now. We install Schluter waterproofing systems and Grohe or Sterling fixtures, and we handle the pan, the drain, the tile, and the glass. In Pecan Grove, walk-in shower installation typically runs $4,500 to $12,000.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
If you’re in a home that still has the original 1980s tub, a tub-to-shower conversion opens the room up and removes a trip hazard in one move. Post-Harvey rebuilds sometimes already have a shower rough-in we can adapt, which brings the cost down. Most conversions in Pecan Grove land between $3,500 and $10,000, including tile, waterproofing, and a new pan.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Not every bathroom needs a full gut. We replace vanities, retile floors and shower walls, swap faucets and shower valves, and install frameless glass enclosures. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in Pecan Grove. Tile work depends on square footage and material, and we’ll quote it as its own line item so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Pecan Grove Homes
- Cast iron drain lines failing under original slabs. Homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s across Pecan Grove Plantation are hitting the age where cast iron under the slab corrodes and collapses. You’ll notice slow drains or a sewer smell before the floor shows damage. We camera the line and quote the repair as its own scope before we touch tile.
- Foundation movement from Beaumont Clay shrink-swell. The expansive clay under Fort Bend County moves with every wet and dry season, and that movement telegraphs through bathroom floors as cracked tile, separated grout, and doors that stop latching. We check for slab movement before we set tile so the new floor isn’t doomed from day one.
- Moisture damage from unvented or code-short baths. Original builder-grade baths in the Plantation often vent straight into the attic, which is a mold and rot problem hiding behind the drywall. We correct the venting as part of any remodel and pull the county permit so the fix is documented, not just promised.
- Elevated post-Harvey rebuilds with unusual rough-in heights. Homes elevated on piers after Harvey have plumbing that was extended below the original floor line, which changes drain fall and fixture placement. A contractor who hasn’t worked on an elevated Pecan Grove slab will fight the rough-in all week. We’ve done enough of these to scope them accurately from the first walkthrough.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Pecan Grove
A full bathroom remodel in Pecan Grove typically costs $9,000 to $28,000, with small baths running $5,000 to $12,000 and walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. The spread comes from whether we’re on an original 1980s slab or an elevated post-Harvey rebuild, plus what the plumbing and tile scope requires once we open the wall. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and they come in writing.
Yes. We’ve remodeled and reconstructed bathrooms in Harvey-affected homes across Pecan Grove, including elevated rebuilds on piers. The key difference is that post-Harvey work often triggers Fort Bend County and Drainage District review beyond the standard permit, and we handle that paperwork as part of the scope. If your home was elevated, we check the extended plumbing and drain fall before any finish work starts. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the property first.
Yes. Every eligible job we do in Pecan Grove includes permits pulled and inspections signed. Pecan Grove is unincorporated, so there’s no city building department to walk into; submittals go through Fort Bend County, and sometimes the Fort Bend County Drainage District requires sign-off depending on the footprint. We handle both agencies from the bid stage. Call (877) 610-1318 if you have a permit question before you sign with anyone.
Not unless you change the scope, and even then, every price change arrives as a written change order before any work happens. That’s the rule we’ve worked under since 1998. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. Call (877) 610-1318 to get your written estimate.
Most Pecan Grove bathroom remodels take two to four weeks from the first day of demolition to final cleanup, assuming the permit clears without unusual Drainage District hold-ups. Elevated post-Harvey rebuilds can run a little longer if the plumbing rough-in needs modification. We’ll give you a written timeline with your estimate. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a walkthrough.
If you’re remodeling a bathroom in Pecan Grove and want a contractor who will show up, pull the permits, and stand behind the work for 90 days after it’s done, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318. We answer our own phones, and we’ll put everything in writing before the first nail moves.
