Bathroom Remodeling in Cedar Park, TX

Buttercup Creek and the other 1990s neighborhoods were plumbed with copper or early PEX supply and PVC drains, which is good news. The problems are above the slab. Tile tub decks were set on green board with no membrane, so the corner where the deck meets the wall has usually been leaking into the framing for years. Shower pans from that era are mud-set over a vinyl liner that is near the end of its life. The fan is often undersized and vents into the attic.

The 2000s Ranch at Brushy Creek plans have more square footage and the same tub-in-the-corner layout, often with a drop-in oval tub instead of a tiled deck. Vanities got taller but kept doors instead of drawers. Because Cedar Park slabs sit on limestone, the floors are flat and uncracked, which makes a curbless shower easy to recess. Moving a drain, though, means cutting into rock, so we design around the existing drain whenever the plan allows.

The standard move is to take out the garden tub and the shower both and build one large walk-in shower across the whole wet wall. We frame it curbless where the slab depth allows, install a full waterproofing system rather than a liner, and tile with the layout drawn before the first cut. A freestanding tub goes in only when the room has the width for it. The window over the old tub stays, reframed to sit inside the shower with proper flashing.

Hall baths in the 1990s houses get the fiberglass surround cut out and a tiled tub or shower set on real waterproofing. The single vanity is replaced with one that has drawers, and the fan gets ducted to the outside. In the 2000s plans we often convert a rarely used hall tub into a shower for an older parent or a teenager, which is a quicker project than a primary. Both get the same tile standard.

Bathroom remodels that relocate plumbing or add electrical are permitted through the City of Cedar Park, and we pull them, including the circuit for heated floors. If your address sits in the unincorporated Williamson County portion of the Ranch at Brushy Creek, there is no city permit for interior work, but state law still requires licensed plumbers and electricians, and that is who we use. Cedar Park HOAs rarely review a bath remodel. We still respect their work-hour and dumpster rules.

Tile showrooms and glass shops along 183 are close, so templating and glass measurement happen on schedule. A full primary bath remodel in Cedar Park runs 4 to 6 weeks, a hall bath 3 to 4, and the glass enclosure adds about two weeks after tile is done. Scope and price are fixed in writing before demo.
