Bathroom Remodeling in Southlake

When a remodel makes more sense than another repair

A bathroom wears out in ways you can see and ways you can't. Cracked grout and a dated tub are obvious. A shower pan that has been seeping for years, or a subfloor going soft near the toilet, usually is not, until it is.

Bathroom remodeling is the right call when the room no longer works for how you live, or when small fixes keep chasing the same problem. If a single leak or a cracked tile is the issue, we will tell you that a repair is enough. If the trouble runs deeper, we will show you what we found and explain why.

Many homes around Southlake still have the oversized garden tub and builder-grade shower from when they were built. Swapping that layout for a walk-in shower is one of the most common jobs we do, and it often makes the room feel twice as usable.

What our bathroom remodeling covers

Demolition and haul-off

We remove old tile, fixtures, drywall and flooring, then haul the debris away. Floors and hallways outside the bathroom are covered before anything comes out.

Shower and tub work

Tub-to-shower conversions, new tub installs and fully tiled showers. Every shower gets a properly sloped pan and a waterproofing membrane behind the tile, which is the part that decides whether a shower lasts.

Plumbing changes

Moving a drain, relocating a toilet or adding a second sink. On a slab foundation that can mean cutting concrete, and we explain that before you commit to a new layout.

Tile and flooring

Floor and wall tile, shower niches and benches, and moisture-rated flooring. We check that the subfloor is flat and solid before anything goes down.

Fixtures and finish work

Toilets, sinks, faucets, shower valves and trim, plus drywall repair, paint and ventilation fans so the room dries out after every shower.

Signs your bathroom is ready for a remodel

• Soft or bouncy floor

  A floor that gives near the toilet or tub usually means water has reached the subfloor. That rarely fixes itself.

• Grout that won't stay clean

  Dark grout lines and recurring mildew often point to water getting behind the tile, not just poor cleaning.

• Water marks downstairs

  If your home has an upstairs bath, a yellowed patch or bubbling paint on the room underneath it means water is escaping somewhere. Have it checked before the drywall or framing takes more damage.

• A tub nobody uses

  If the garden tub collects dust while everyone squeezes into a small shower, the layout is working against you.

• Hard-to-reach fixtures

  Step-in tubs and low toilets get harder to use over time. A curbless or low-threshold shower can make the room safer for years to come.

How a bathroom remodel runs, start to finish

1. 1

   A phone call and a visit

   You call us, tell us what bothers you about the room, and we set a time to come look. We measure, check under sinks and around the tub, and ask how you use the space.

2. 2

   A written, line-item estimate

   You get a written scope that lists each part of the job. If something can't be known until the walls are open, we say so and explain how we would handle it.

3. 3

   Demo and rough-in

   Old finishes come out, and we photograph anything hidden we find, like rot or old leaks, before deciding the next step with you. Plumbing and electrical rough-in happen here, along with any permit inspections that apply.

4. 4

   Waterproofing, tile and fixtures

   The shower is waterproofed and tested, then tile, flooring and fixtures go in. Dust barriers stay up and we clean the work area at the end of each day.

5. 5

   Final walkthrough

   We go through the room with you, run every fixture and fix anything that isn't right before we call it done.

What moves the cost of a bathroom remodel

Two bathrooms the same size can cost very different amounts. The biggest swings come from layout changes, what is hiding under the old tile and the finishes you pick. We walk you through each one in your estimate so nothing shows up later as a surprise.

Keeping or changing the layout

Leaving the toilet, drain and shower where they are keeps costs down. Moving plumbing on a slab means cutting and patching concrete, which adds labor.

Condition behind the walls

Rotted subfloor, a failed shower pan or old galvanized pipe all need fixing before new finishes go on. We show you photos before doing extra work.

Tile choice and coverage

Large-format and natural stone tile take more prep and time than standard ceramic. Tiling a shower to the ceiling uses more material than a half wall.

Shower glass and fixtures

Frameless glass, thermostatic valves and multiple shower heads all raise the total. Standard options keep it lower without hurting function.
