AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Southlake
A full bathroom remodel in Southlake typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with walk-in shower and tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $12,000. Those are real ranges for this market, not national averages. Our Bathroom Remodeling crew works in Timarron, Carillon, and throughout the 76092 ZIP code every week, so we know what Southlake homes demand. The job starts with a phone call to (877) 610-1318, where Tom or one of his sons answers directly.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Southlake’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Southlake homeowners don’t call a contractor because a billboard told them to. They call because a neighbor at Carroll High School drop-off or a friend in Timarron mentioned our name. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in this city, one finished bathroom at a time, since Tom Barrett founded the company in 1998. Homeowners between 50 and 70 make up most of our work here, and a lot of them have the same story: a national outfit quoted one number on the phone, sent a crew that looked like strangers, and handed over a different bill at the end. We don’t work that way.
Our crews are Tom’s sons and their teams. Full stop. The people who show up at your Southlake home carry the Barrett name, and every one of them is background-checked and uniformed. We answer our own phone 24/7 with a live person. And every job gets a written change order before scope moves a single inch. That’s not a promise we make on a sales call. It’s language in our contract.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Southlake
Southlake’s housing stock is nearly all custom and semi-custom, built between the 1990s and 2010s. That means bathrooms with real square footage, full tile walls, and homeowners who expect luxury-grade materials, not builder-grade patch jobs. These are the services we run most often in this city.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Southlake almost always means taking the room to studs and rebuilding it properly. Custom millwork, properly waterproofed pans, new plumbing rough-in where the old layout fights the new one. Most of these jobs run from design approval to final walkthrough in four to eight weeks, but the honest answer is that material lead times set the real calendar, not our labor hours.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade in Southlake master baths right now. Curbless entries, linear drains, full-height tile. These aren’t the fiberglass inserts of 1995. We’re building custom pans with proper slope, framing for frameless glass, and waterproofing systems that will still be dry twenty years from now.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
When a Southlake couple wants to age in place or simply wants the tub gone, a tub-to-shower conversion is the straightest path. We handle the demolition, the drain relocation, the waterproofing, and the finish work. Depending on finishes and framing, these conversions run $3,500 to $10,000 in this market. If there’s a protected tree or HOA finish review involved, we account for that timeline before the first swing of a hammer.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
For smaller Southlake jobs, like a full vanity replacement, new tile, or fixture swaps, we’re still the same crew with the same standards. A custom vanity built for a specific wall in a Carillon home isn’t a stock cabinet with a different knob. It’s millwork cut to fit the room, the plumbing, and the homeowner’s own drawings.

Trusted Brands We Service in Southlake
We install and coordinate brands you can actually look up. Cambria for quartz countertops. Kohler for cast-iron tubs and fixtures. Frameless glass from local fabricators we’ve worked with for over a decade. We don’t show up with mystery materials off a van. And because we order from local distributors serving the DFW market, we can confirm lead times the same week a Southlake homeowner signs, not two weeks later.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Southlake Homes
- HOA finish rejections that stall the rough-in. Timarron and Carillon both have architectural review boards that can reject a tile pattern, a vanity stain, or a shower finish after demolition has already started. If you didn’t submit samples and written descriptions before demo, you’re looking at weeks of delay.
- Long-lead material surprises. A Cambria slab or custom Kohler finish ordered after the permit is approved often carries a 10 to 12 week lead time. That’s not labor’s fault. It’s sequencing.
- Clay-soil movement under slab bathrooms. Southlake sits on Blackland Prairie clay. It swells and shrinks. A bathroom that wasn’t built with movement in mind can show hairline cracking along floor tile lines. We look for that during the rough-in, not after the grout dries.
- Compressed punch lists. One rejected fixture finish or a missed inspection sign-off on the back end can add two weeks. A realistic schedule from the start is cheaper than a surprise at the end.

That’s what a written change order is for. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll put every allowance on paper before you spend a dime.
HOA Approval and Long-Lead Ordering: What Actually Drives a Southlake Remodel
If there’s one thing that separates a smooth Southlake bathroom remodel from a stalled one, it’s recognizing that the HOA architectural review board is a live gatekeeper. Communities like Timarron and Carillon have boards that review finish materials, colors, and design changes. They can reject a bathroom material choice that would pass without comment one city over in Keller or Grapevine. That adds weeks before demolition starts, not after. The smart play is to submit finish samples and written descriptions from the start. We’ve walked that path enough times to know exactly what those boards want to see.
Our crew recently completed a full bathroom remodel in a custom home in Timarron, where the homeowners chose a Cambria quartz countertop, a Kohler cast-iron tub, and a frameless glass shower enclosure. Because the HOA required exact finish samples and a written description of the new tile pattern before issuing the permit, we walked the plans through review, ordered the long-lead Cambria slab and Kohler tub from our distributor the same week, and locked the schedule around those delivery dates, then built the rough-in, tile, and glass installation around them. The result passed inspection sign-off on the first visit, and the homeowners never saw a change order because every allowance was fixed in writing before we cut a single tile.
Southlake’s HOA Landscape and Your Construction Calendar
This is the only Southlake-specific bathroom remodeling guide that maps HOA approval timelines, long-lead material ordering, and clay-soil slab realities straight from Timarron and Carillon jobs, so you know exactly when to sign, what to order, and what will actually delay your project. Because Southlake is essentially built out, virtually every job we do here is a renovation or a replacement inside an occupied home, not ground-up new construction. That changes how we schedule crews, where we stage materials, and how we protect your floors from day one.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Southlake
If your community has an architectural review board, and Timarron and Carillon do, you need their written approval before any demolition or structural change begins. The board reviews finish materials, colors, and sometimes even design details like glass enclosure style or tile pattern. Skipping this step can stop your project cold and trigger a re-review that adds weeks. We handle the submission for every Southlake job, including the exact samples and written descriptions the board will ask for. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific HOA requires.
Plan on four to eight weeks from the day HOA approval and permits clear, but the honest answer is that material lead times, not our labor hours, usually set the end date. Custom millwork and Cambria slabs can run 10 to 12 weeks from order. That’s why we lock material selections and place orders immediately after approval, not after demo. Our written schedule reflects the real delivery dates, so you’re not standing in a gutted bathroom wondering where the vanity is. Call (877) 610-1318 for a timeline built around your exact finish choices.
It can, especially if your bathroom sits on a slab that’s already showing movement. Southlake’s Blackland Prairie clay swells and shrinks through the wet and dry seasons. During a rough-in, we look for hairline cracking along existing floor lines and check whether the slab has shifted enough to matter. If we see something, we tell you before tile goes down, not after. That’s the kind of thing that doesn’t show up in a national company’s checklist. Call (877) 610-1318 to have us look at your specific bathroom.
It shouldn’t come to that, and with us it won’t. We submit finish samples and written descriptions before we order a single long-lead item. If a board still requests a change, we pause the order and re-submit before money changes hands. The point is that every allowance and every finish is fixed in writing before any purchase order goes out. That’s how you avoid paying for a Cambria slab your HOA won’t approve. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your specific selections through the process with you.
Because every allowance, every fixture, every finish, and every price change goes on paper in a written change order before the work happens. Most Southlake homeowners who call us have already been burned by a quote that was a paragraph and a handshake. Ours runs line by line and includes the actual brand names we plan to install. You’ll see the price, you’ll see the scope, and if anything changes, you’ll see that in writing too. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate built that way from the first conversation.
