AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Stafford
A full bathroom remodel in Stafford, TX typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been remodeling bathrooms in this part of Fort Bend County long enough to know what happens when a contractor skips permits or cuts corners on slab prep. If you’re weighing a remodel in the 77477 or 77497 zip codes, call (877) 610-1318 for a written line-item estimate before you sign anything.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Stafford’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Stafford, where most construction work is commercial tilt-wall build-out along US-90A and US-59/I-69, and finding a contractor who actually knows the residential pockets in 77477 takes some digging. Our crews work Stafford regularly, so we know the inspection quirks at Fort Bend County, we know which neighborhoods near Brays Bayou sit in flood zones, and we know the 1970s and 1980s slab-on-grade tract homes that make up most of the single-family stock here.
Our Stafford customers tend to ask the same three things: will you pull permits, will the price hold, and will you show up. Yes, yes, and yes. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. And every completed job is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. That’s the kind of accountability that’s hard to find in Bathroom Remodeling work when the company is a national outfit that quotes one number on the phone and hands you a different bill at the door.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Stafford
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in Stafford usually means opening walls in a 1980s tract home, finding what’s behind them, and correcting it before tile goes up. We handle the whole scope: demo, rough-in plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, vanity, glass, and finish work. In Stafford, full bathroom remodels typically run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on whether we’re moving walls, addressing slab issues, or upgrading drain lines.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Stafford runs $4,500 to $12,000. We build them with flood-resistant cement board and proper waterproofing, especially in the low-lying 77477 homes near Brays Bayou tributaries where moisture wicking through standard drywall is a known failure. Frameless glass enclosures are popular here, and we install them tight enough to pass a Fort Bend County inspection.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is one of the most common requests we get in Stafford. Homeowners in 1970s and 1980s slab-on-grade ranches want the tub gone and a curbless or low-threshold shower in its place. Tub-to-shower conversions in Stafford run $3,500 to $10,000. The biggest variable is the drain. Older cast-iron drains under these slabs are often rusted through, which means pulling the rough-in and replacing it with PVC before anything else happens. If a quote is suspiciously low for a tub-to-shower conversion on a slab, ask whether they’ve looked at the drain.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Stafford runs $800 to $3,000, and tile work gets priced by scope once we see the slab condition and the existing substrate. We install named brands you can look up, and we stock the common parts locally so Stafford jobs aren’t sitting waiting on a truck from out of state. If you want a second opinion on a written estimate you already have, bring it in. We’ll look it over free.

Trusted Brands We Service in Stafford
We install materials from manufacturers that publish their specs, which matters in Stafford where humidity and clay soil punish cheap fixtures. We work with Kohler, Moen, and Delta across most bathroom scopes, and for tile and stone we’ll quote brands like Daltile and MSI. Our crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name and pass background checks before they step foot in your home. No mystery brands off a van.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Stafford Homes
- Slab heave and cracked foundations. Stafford sits on Beaumont/League City clay, which shrinks and swells through Houston’s wet-dry cycles. Slab movement cracks tile and loosens plumbing rough-ins. We use isolation membranes and proper substrate prep before tile goes down, so the punch list doesn’t reopen after the first wet season.
- Rusted cast-iron drains in 1980s tract homes. The 77477 residential pocket near Brays Bayou has a lot of original cast-iron drain lines that have rusted through by now. If you’re converting a tub to a shower, the drain is the first place we look. Replacing it with PVC before the shower base goes in is standard practice for us, not an upcharge surprise.
- Moisture-wicking materials in flood-zone homes. Standard drywall and fiberglass pans don’t hold up in the low-lying portions of Stafford that saw water during Harvey. We quote cement board, flood-resistant substrates, and proper waterproofing as the baseline, not an option.
- Unpermitted prior work. We regularly open Stafford bathrooms and find electrical or plumbing work that never saw an inspector. When that happens, the permit process gets more involved. We handle it correctly, pull the permit through Fort Bend County, and get the inspection sign-off documented.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Stafford
Yes, if the work touches plumbing, electrical, or structural framing. Replacing a faucet trim or a toilet in the same location might not require a permit, but a tub-to-shower conversion, a shower pan replacement, or moving a drain line absolutely does. We pull permits on every eligible job, and the inspection sign-off gets documented for your records. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your scope requires before we quote it.
Stafford is in a wind zone where roof penetrations, including bathroom exhaust fan vents, need to meet the Fort Bend County adopted building code for uplift and proper flashing. We install rated roof caps and seal penetrations to code, and the inspector verifies it. A cheap quote that leaves the vent unflashed or underrated is a leak waiting for the next storm.

It means the tile needs isolation from slab movement or it will crack within a wet-dry cycle or two. In the 77477 residential pocket near Brays Bayou tributaries, our crew just finished a tub-to-shower conversion in a 1980s slab-on-grade tract home where the original cast-iron drain had rusted through and the subfloor showed signs of slab heave. We pulled permits through Fort Bend County, replaced the rough-in with PVC, added a flood-resistant cement board subfloor, and installed a Kohler walk-in shower with frameless glass, then had the inspection sign-off documented for the homeowner’s insurer. That’s the right way to handle slab movement. Call (877) 610-1318 for an assessment of your specific slab.
Possibly, and in the good direction. A permitted bathroom remodel with a Fort Bend County inspection sign-off proves that your plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing were done to code before a storm. If you file a claim for water damage after a Brays Bayou overflow or a wind event, documentation showing the work was inspected and signed off can support your claim and sometimes reduce what the insurer argues is pre-existing. An unpermitted remodel can become a reason your claim gets contested. Get it documented. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and ask us about the permit and inspection trail.
Because Fort Bend County permits and inspections for plumbing, electrical, and structural changes aren’t free, and we don’t bury them in the fine print. Some Sugar Land quotes roll the permit fee into a vague “miscellaneous” line or skip it entirely, which means the work wasn’t inspected. In Stafford, where much of the contractor market is oriented toward commercial work along US-90A and US-59/I-69, a residential remodel still requires the same Fort Bend County permit and inspection process. We list it as a line item so you know exactly what you’re paying for. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through a sample scope.
