AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Schertz
Bathroom remodeling in Schertz typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the range depends mostly on whether you’re refreshing a powder room with new tile and a vanity or gutting a master bath down to the studs. We’ve worked in Schertz long enough to know that the homes here, mostly 2000s-era builder-grade construction on Blackland Prairie clay, present their own set of quirks: floors that shift with the seasons, door frames that go slightly out of square, and original plumbing runs that were never meant to handle a double vanity. Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom near Wiederstein Elementary, over in the subdivisions off Borgfeld Road, or up toward the 78154 zip line, we bring the same written-scope, written-change-order approach to every job. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll set up a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Schertz’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise that dispatches strangers in a branded van. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call about a Bathroom Remodeling project in Schertz, the person who answers is someone who knows what a post-tension slab looks like and why that matters when you’re moving a drain line. Ask anyone in your neighborhood or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name and license on every job, not because he has to, but because the last contractor most of our Schertz customers used was coy about exactly that.
Every price change on your project arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we pull permits on every eligible job and stand there while the inspection signs off. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, not buried in fine print: if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Schertz
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Schertz usually means taking a 2005-era builder bathroom, the kind with a fiberglass tub surround and a single light bar over a frameless mirror, and turning it into something you actually want to show people. If you’re also considering Fence Installation in Schertz, we can coordinate both projects. We see a lot of this in the subdivisions around Cibolo Creek and off Roy Richard Drive. Expect $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size and whether walls move.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installations in Schertz run $4,500 to $12,000. This is the single most common request we get from homeowners who want to age in place without giving up a guest bathroom. The old tub comes out, we check the subfloor for any moisture or soil-movement stress, and we rebuild the pan with a Schluter waterproofing system before tile goes in. No shortcuts under the tile, because in this climate a small water issue becomes a big clay-heave issue if it reaches the slab.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Schertz runs $3,500 to $10,000. For a hall bath that serves kids and guests, this gives you a low-threshold shower without cutting into framing. We handle the curb, the drain relo, the waterproofing, and finish it with tile that holds up to the hard water we get out of the Edwards Aquifer.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Schertz runs $800 to $3,000 for the labor side, and tile work typically runs $8 to $15 per square foot depending on tile size and layout. Fixtures like Grohe thermostatic shower valves and Sterling tubs are what we stock and specify most often. We write the allowance down on paper at the start, so you know what you’re paying for the materials, not just what the mysterious “market rate” might be at the end.

Trusted Brands We Service in Schertz
We specify Schluter waterproofing under every tile floor and shower we build in Schertz, because the wet-dry swings here mean the waterproofing has to outlast the tile above it. Sterling tubs and shower pans are our go-to when a customer wants a clean, budget-sane replacement without giving up on quality. And when it’s valves and trim, we point people toward Grohe because the hard water we deal with in 78154 chews through cheap cartridges fast.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Schertz Homes
- Post-tension slab movement under original bathrooms. Schertz sits on expansive Blackland Prairie clay. Wet winters and dry summers push slabs up and down, and in homes built in the 2000s and 2010s, we routinely find cracked shower pans, hairline tile fractures, and doors that bind when the clay is swollen. Any bathroom remodel here starts with checking what the slab is doing before we set tile.
- Builder-grade vent fan ducts that dump into the attic. In Schertz, we find plenty of original fans still discharging warm bathroom air straight into the attic instead of through the roof. That moisture drifts into the framing and, in homes with clay stress, shows up as warped drywall and deteriorated sheathing. We always reroute the duct through the exterior when we remodel.
- Improper drainage re-grading creating wet bathrooms. A lot of original builder grading settles toward the foundation within the first decade, and with Schertz’s heavy fall rains, rainwater runs under the slab and drives clay heave upward. We often add drainage re-grading or a French drain as a scope item before we build tile that would just crack later.
- Undersized water lines to the bathroom. Many 2000s-era Schertz homes have 1/2-inch PEX or copper feeding the master bath. When we add a second shower head or a soaker tub, we upgrade the supply line to the fixture so the water pressure doesn’t fall off in the middle of a shower.

A full bathroom remodel in Schertz runs $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathrooms landing in the $5,000 to $12,000 range.

Right now, most Schertz bathroom projects start within a few weeks of signing the written scope, because we don’t overbook crews. Tom’s sons run the jobs, and they don’t take on more work than they can finish properly. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you the current schedule honestly.
Yes. Every eligible bathroom remodel in Schertz gets permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and I like it that way. If another contractor tells you permits are optional, that’s your sign.
Schertz’s Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts a lot through the year. In routine bathroom remodels, we check for slab movement under the existing tile and framing, and if we find it, we write that into the scope before we build. It’s the difference between a shower that lasts 15 years and one that cracks in two. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk through what we found in your specific home.
Every bathroom remodel comes with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. The warranty is printed on the contract, not hidden in a PDF somewhere.
