AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Prosper
A full bathroom remodel in Prosper, TX typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller bathrooms starting around $5,000. Most of our Prosper projects finish in two to four weeks once permits clear. The biggest variable isn’t your taste in tile - it’s what’s hiding behind the walls of a 2010s post-tension slab home. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the space with you before anyone touches a hammer.
Tom Barrett started Bathroom Remodeling projects in Prosper because homeowners kept calling with the same complaint: a national outfit quoted one number on the phone, then handed over a different invoice once the walls were open. We do it differently. Every scope item goes in writing, every allowance gets its own line on the contract, and any surprise we find after demolition gets priced and approved in writing before work proceeds. No handshake-deal change orders, no end-of-job “oh by the way.”
We serve the 75078 zip code, including Windsong Ranch, Star Trail, and Whitley Place. Live person answers the phone 24/7 - not a call center in another state.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Prosper’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re the owner-operated Prosper contractor where Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published for anyone to look up before signing. That matters in a town where half the contractor trucks you see belong to companies headquartered in Dallas or beyond, rolling crews in and out without a face attached to the work. Tom’s sons run our crews. You’ll see the same people on site Tuesday morning that you saw at the estimate. When something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back - that’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract, not buried in the fine print.
Prosper homeowners have dealt with enough builder-grade surprises. The homes out here are beautiful on the surface: brick and stone veneer, 3,000 to 5,000 square feet, master-planned subdivisions with names like Whitley Place and Star Trail. But underneath, the blackland clay doesn’t care how nice the curb appeal is. We know what these slabs do over a drought summer, because we’ve pulled tile from dozens of them. When we quote a remodel, we quote it for what your house actually is - not what a template says it should be.
We carry premium brands like Schluter and Sterling because we want you to look up your materials by name and see what you paid for. Background-checked crew members, uniformed, carrying the Barrett & Sons name. Permits pulled on every eligible job - the permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly how we like it.
Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers. Always.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Prosper
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Prosper is where our written-scope process matters most. We gut the space, fix what’s underneath, and rebuild with materials you can actually look up. KraftMaid vanities, Schluter waterproofing systems, Grohe fixtures - names you’ll recognize next time you’re at the hardware store. Most full remodels in the 75078 zip run $9,000 to $28,000, and the spread depends almost entirely on what demolition turns up.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
This is the most common job we do in Prosper, and for good reason: aging homeowners across Windsong Ranch and Star Trail want to stop stepping over a tub wall. Walk-in shower installation in Prosper runs $4,500 to $12,000. We re-float pans to a proper 1/4-inch-per-foot slope, address any subfloor deflection the clay soil has introduced, and waterproof to Schluter standards before tile touches the walls.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in Prosper runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on whether the existing drain location works or needs relocating. In 2010s post-tension slabs, relocating a drain means saw-cutting concrete, and that changes the scope. We’ll know which situation you have before we quote, because we’ve worked in enough of these homes to recognize the tell-tale signs. If the tub is a standard 60-inch alcove and the drain aligns, you’re on the lower end. If we’re moving plumbing across the room, the number climbs. Either way, it’s in writing before work starts.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Prosper runs $800 to $3,000 for the labor and installation, excluding the vanity itself. Tile work is priced per square foot based on material and layout, with natural stone and large-format porcelain on the higher end. We set every vanity level - which matters more than you’d think in homes where slab movement has shifted partition walls - and we shim door openings before new casing goes in, so the bathroom doesn’t fight itself from day one.
We also handle frameless glass shower enclosures, bathtub replacement, and full custom tile packages. If it goes in a bathroom in Prosper, we’ve installed it, repaired it, or demoed it out of a builder-grade original.

Trusted Brands We Service in Prosper
We install and service Schluter waterproofing systems and Sterling plumbing fixtures in Prosper homes because we know what stands up to North Texas’s climate swings. Blackland clay doesn’t just move slabs - it also changes interior humidity patterns as soil moisture cycles through wet and dry seasons, and cheap waterproofing fails faster under those conditions. The brands we carry are ones you can research. We don’t install mystery materials off a van. If your existing shower has a failed pan or a leaking curb, we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s repairable or whether you’re better off with a full waterproofing replacement - and we’ll put the reasoning in writing.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Prosper Homes
- Slab-induced framing movement. Those post-tension slabs under Prosper’s 2010s homes move more than homeowners realize. We routinely find partition walls that have shifted enough to throw door openings out of square by a half-inch or more. Re-tiling over unshimmed door openings just transfers the same deflection into new grout lines, and you’ll see cracks within a season.
- Builder-grade waterproofing defects. Five to eight years is about when many Prosper primary baths start showing curb leaks or shower pan failures. The original waterproofing was often rushed during the housing boom, and homes in Windsong Ranch and Star Trail are hitting that age range right now. New tile over failed waterproofing fails again, fast.
- Closed-cell foam over-sprayed into wall cavities. This is a Prosper-specific nuisance we encounter on a regular basis. We’ve opened several master baths to find insulation foam wedged behind shower valves and tub surrounds, making valve replacement a chore. It’s common enough that we now check for it during rough-in on every remodel.
- Code-mandated upgrades nobody priced. Once walls are open, a permit inspection will flag outdated GFCI placement, undersized exhaust ducting, or missing nail plates. Those corrections are mandatory, and they affect the draw schedule if they weren’t anticipated. We write allowances for exactly these scenarios into every Prosper contract, before demolition day.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Prosper
Blackland clay shrinks during summer drought and swells with seasonal rain, which moves the post-tension slabs under Prosper homes and shifts interior partition walls by up to a half-inch or more. For a bathroom remodel, that means we routinely re-shim door openings, re-set vanities, and address subfloor deflection before any tile goes down. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your slab’s movement before quoting, not after demolition.
Most Prosper bathroom remodels are in 2010s-2020s post-tension slab homes where builder-grade waterproofing and code shortcuts hide behind finished walls. Once we open the walls, the permit inspection may flag outdated GFCI placement, undersized exhaust ducting, missing nail plates, or failed waterproofing - all of which are mandatory corrections. We write allowances for exactly these scenarios before work starts, so the price you see on your written change order is the price you pay. Free estimates available at (877) 610-1318.
Yes, any bathroom remodel in Prosper that involves plumbing, electrical, or structural changes requires a permit, and once the permit is active, a city inspector must sign off at rough-in and final. That’s not a nuisance - the permit inspector works for you, not for me, and they’ll catch issues like improper GFCI placement or undersized venting that would otherwise be hidden behind new tile. We pull permits on every eligible job, and inspections are part of the written scope.
We recommend Schluter waterproofing systems for Prosper homes because the Kerdi membrane handles the humidity swings that come with North Texas’s wet-dry clay cycles, unlike builder-grade rubber pans that crack and leak within five to eight years. Sterling plumbing fixtures are also a solid choice for reliability. If your 2018 primary bath already shows a curb leak or loose tile, call (877) 610-1318 - we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s repairable or needs a full waterproofing replacement.
Stop using the shower and call us at (877) 610-1318 - water moving under the curb means the waterproofing has failed, and the subfloor is taking damage. We’ll inspect it, write up the scope in plain English, and show you exactly what needs to happen. Free second opinions on any written estimate, and no trip charge inside Collin County.
What To Expect Inside The Walls of a Prosper Home
This is the part most bathroom remodeling pages won’t tell you. The homes in Star Trail, Windsong Ranch, and Whitley Place were built fast - hundreds of lots per year, sometimes hundreds per subdivision. The builders were good at curb appeal. The waterproofing? Not always. The framing? Adequate, but not generous. The electrical? To code at the time, but code changes. In a 2018 primary bath, we found the original waterproofing had failed along the pony wall, wicking moisture under the curb and into the subfloor. We wrote a change order to replace the damaged subfloor section, re-floated the pan to a 1/4-inch-per-foot slope, and passed the rough-in inspection before closing the walls. That’s the permit-triggered upgrade the homeowner never saw coming - and the kind of thing a template quote doesn’t plan for.
This is the only bathroom remodeling page that tells Prosper homeowners what to expect inside the walls of a 2010s post-tension slab home. From clay-soil movement to builder-grade waterproofing failures to permit-triggered code upgrades, we’ve seen it all in this zip code, and we write the scope to match. L.O.C.A.L. values: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal. That’s how we work in Prosper, and how we’ll work on your home.
