Bathroom Remodeling in Lewisville
We tear out the worn tub, tired tile and leaky fixtures and build a bathroom that stays dry behind the walls. Low-flow fixtures and a fan that actually moves air keep the room comfortable and trim your water bill.
What a bathroom remodel covers
A bathroom remodel is more than new tile. We take the room down to what holds it up, fix what water has damaged and rebuild with the right layers in the right order. That means a proper waterproof membrane in the shower, a sound subfloor and plumbing that won't drip into the ceiling below.
It's the right call when patching keeps failing. Regrouting a shower that leaks through the wall only buys a few months. If the floor is soft, the tub is cracked or the room stays damp for hours after a shower, it's time to open it up.
We also look at running costs while the walls are open. A newer toilet and showerhead use far less water than the ones in many older homes, and a quiet, properly vented fan keeps humid North Texas air from turning into mildew.
What the work includes
Tub-to-shower conversions
We pull out the old tub and build a walk-in shower with a sloped pan, membrane and a curb or low threshold. More room to stand, easier to step into and easier to clean.
Waterproofing and tile
Every wet wall gets a waterproof layer before any tile goes up. Then we set wall and floor tile, with grout lines and slopes that send water to the drain.
Toilets, valves and showerheads
We replace toilets, faucets and shower valves with water-saving models. A pressure-balancing valve keeps the water temperature steady when someone flushes.
Ventilation that works
We size the exhaust fan to the room and duct it outside, not into the attic. A humidity-sensing fan runs only when it needs to, so it saves power and still clears the steam.
Subfloor and flooring
Soft spots get cut out and replaced. Then new flooring goes down flat and tight to the tub or shower.
Insulation on outside walls
If a wall we open faces outside, we add insulation before closing it. The room holds heat better in winter and stays cooler in summer.
When a bathroom needs more than a patch
- Floor that gives underfoot
- If the floor flexes by the toilet or tub, water has likely soaked the subfloor. That damage only spreads.
- Mildew that returns fast
- Bleach the grout and see spots again within a week, and there's moisture hanging in the room or trapped behind the tile. A weak fan, or one not vented outdoors, is a common cause.
- Stains on the ceiling below
- A brown ring under an upstairs bathroom usually means a shower pan, drain or toilet seal has failed.
- Tile that's loose or hollow
- Tile that shifts or sounds hollow when tapped has let go of the wall or floor. Water finds its way in behind it.
- A water bill that runs high
- Older toilets can use several gallons on every flush, and a fill valve that keeps running wastes even more. New fixtures bring that down from day one.
How the job runs
- 1
Walkthrough and free quote
We come look at the room, check the floor and the plumbing, and talk about what you want. You get a written quote with each part of the work listed out.
- 2
Permits and ordering
If the job moves plumbing or adds wiring, we pull the permit with the city. We order fixtures and tile ahead so the room isn't sitting torn up while we wait on parts.
- 3
Demo and repairs
We cover floors and the path from the door, then tear out. Once the walls are open we show you what we found, with photos, and talk through any rot or old leaks before we fix them.
- 4
Build and inspect
Plumbing and any inspections come first, then waterproofing, tile and fixtures. We flood-test the shower pan before tile goes on.

Final walkthrough and cleanup
We test every valve, drain and the fan with you. Dust and debris leave with us at the end of each day.
Where your bathroom budget goes
We don't put a number on a bathroom until we've stood in it. The total mostly rides on the size of the room, the materials you pick and what turns up once the old tile comes off. Your quote breaks out each part of the job so nothing is lumped together.
- Moving the plumbing
- If the toilet and drain stay where they sit today, the pipe work stays simple and the price stays lower. Shifting them to a new spot means opening up more of the floor and running new lines.
- Shower size and tile
- A bigger shower takes more tile and more hours on the wall. Large-format pieces and busy patterns take longer to set than a plain layout.
- Hidden water damage
- Rotten subfloor or framing has to come out before new work goes in. We take photos, show you and give you the price before we touch it.
- Fixtures you choose
- Valves, toilets and showerheads cover a wide price spread. We can point you to water-saving models that hold up well without adding much to the total.
Bathroom remodeling questions
- How many weeks will we be without that bathroom?
- Most full bathrooms run a few weeks from tear-out to the last walkthrough. Room size and inspection dates set the exact timing. We lay out the schedule before we start. If it's the only bathroom in your home, tell us early and we'll plan the work around that.
- Will a low-flow toilet actually flush well?
- The water-saving toilets made now work far better than the early ones did. We put in models that empty the bowl on one flush. You save water and skip the double flushing people remember from years back.
- Can you turn my tub into a walk-in shower?
- Yes, we do this one a lot. The tub comes out, and we build a sloped, waterproofed shower base and tile it. Before we start, we'll talk through whether you still want a tub somewhere else in your home.
- Do I need a permit?
- Moving plumbing, changing drains or running new wiring for a fan usually needs one from the city. We pull the permit and set up the inspections. Swapping fixtures in the same spot often doesn't.
- Do you work outside Lewisville?
- Yes. We do bathroom work in nearby towns including Flower Mound, Highland Village, The Colony and Coppell. Mention where you live when you call and we'll schedule a visit.
