Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate. Tom Barrett has owned the company since 1998, and his sons run the crews that serve Wylie every week.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Wylie’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We are not a franchise dispatching strangers from another state. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published for anyone to verify. When you call, a live person answers, 24/7. When the crew pulls up in Wylie, it is Tom’s sons and their teams wearing Barrett & Sons uniforms after passing background checks.
Our Bathroom Remodeling teams know what hides behind the builder-grade tile in Woodbridge. We have pulled enough acrylic tubs and fiberglass surrounds out of early-2000s Wylie homes to expect the subfloor issues before demolition even starts. That is not a problem for us; it is the job.
We also back every Wylie job with the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something is not right, one call brings Tom back. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Wylie
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in a Wylie tract home means we demo to the studs, correct any subfloor issues the clay soil has caused, and rebuild with named materials you can look up; think Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling or Kohler fixtures, and Grohe hardware. Because most Wylie homes sit on post-tension slabs over Blackland Prairie clay, we check for slab movement and drainage grade before a single sheet of backer board goes up.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Wylie runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on tile, glass, and whether we need to move plumbing. Many Wylie homeowners swap a cramped builder shower stall for a curbless walk-in with frameless glass. We install Schluter shower systems as the waterproofing standard, and we pull the permit so the rough-in gets a third-party inspection before it is closed up.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Wylie costs $3,500-$10,000. This is the single most popular first upgrade we do in Woodbridge and the surrounding master-planned neighborhoods. Getting rid of the dated garden tub opens up the room and gives homeowners a shower they can actually use. The part that matters: what we find underneath. We check the original drainage grade and subfloor level before setting the new pan, because Wylie clay does not forgive a rushed rough-in.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Wylie runs $800-$3,000. New tile and fixtures are the fastest way to change the feel of a 2005-era bathroom without touching the footprint. We install premium brands like Grohe and Sterling, and every allowance gets written into the contract. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date; that is how we avoid them.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wylie
We install materials you can research, not mystery brands off a van. In Wylie bathrooms, that typically means Schluter waterproofing under the tile, Grohe or Sterling fixtures, and Kohler for tubs and shower pans. We keep common rough-in parts stocked locally so a Wylie job does not stall waiting on a shipment from out of state. If a customer requests a specific brand we do not list here, we will price it in writing before work starts.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Wylie Homes
- Subfloor deflection from clay heave: Wylie sits on the Blackland Prairie, and the clay shrinks hard in summer droughts and swells with fall rain. That movement transfers through post-tension slabs and shows up as out-of-level floors, cracked tile, and shower pans that fail within the first year. We check lot drainage grade on every Wylie bathroom job before setting tile.
- DIY waterproofing failures: Builder-grade showers from the late 1990s and 2000s often used thin liners that crack with slab movement. When we demo, we routinely find water damage behind the tile that was invisible from the outside.
- Generic rough-in mistakes: Tract-home plumbing was run fast and to minimum spec. Moving a drain for a walk-in shower without adjusting the vent or slope is the most common hidden defect we correct in early-2000s Wylie homes.
- Cosmetic covers over structural issues: Some contractors hide shifting door frames and cracking shower surrounds with caulk and extra drywall mud. It works until the next drought cycle, when Wylie clay opens a quarter-inch gap in a poorly sealed surround. We fix the cause, not the symptom.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Wylie
Woodbridge homes were built between 1997 and 2018 on post-tension slabs over Blackland Prairie clay, and the clay moves enough through drought and rain cycles to leave subfloors out of level by a half-inch or more. We correct that deflection with structural support before tile goes down, and the work gets inspected. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will take a look at your specific home.
No, as long as the job is permitted and inspected. A legitimate builder warranty stays intact when the work is done to code, and we pull permits on every eligible Wylie bathroom remodel. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we like having them on the job.
Interior bathroom remodels in Wylie do not typically need HOA approval, since the HOA governs exterior appearance and common areas. But a few newer subdivisions in the 75098 ZIP code have architectural guidelines that touch anything involving a structural wall; we always check before demo starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will help you sort out what your HOA actually requires.
Budget $9,000-$28,000 for a full remodel, with the honest caveat that subfloor correction and plumbing rough-in work can add to the low end of that range. We will not give you a phone quote that balloons at the door. The estimate is line-itemed in writing, and any change after demo arrives as a written change order before work continues.
Inconsistent drainage grading on cul-de-sac lots, which pools water against the slab on the downhill side and accelerates clay heave under one corner of the home. That diagonal stress opens hairline cracks in shower pans and shifts door frames. Last spring, our crew started a primary bathroom remodel in Woodbridge and found the subfloor out of level by almost three-quarters of an inch from exactly that condition. We brought in a structural engineer, corrected the framing, and got the inspection sign-off before tiling; a cosmetic-only contractor would have hidden it behind backer board.
