Bathroom Remodeling in Leander, TX

Travisso, Bryson, and the later Crystal Falls phases have primary baths with square footage to spare. The problem is how it was spent. A tub deck takes the window, the shower is a curbed box with a pre-formed pan, and the double vanity has doors where drawers belong. Tile is thin builder grade, often set on drywall above the pan. Plumbing is PEX and the panel has capacity, so adding a heated floor circuit or a second showerhead is straightforward.

Older Leander, from Old Town out through Block House Creek, has 1980s and 90s baths: fiberglass tub surrounds, cultured marble, a single fan that vents into the attic. The early Crystal Falls streets have the 1990s tiled garden tub with the plant ledge. Leander slabs sit on limestone and stay flat, which helps a curbless shower, but moving a drain means sawcutting and trenching rock, so we design around the existing drain when we can.

In the newer houses the tub deck comes out and the shower takes the whole wet wall, built curbless where the slab depth allows, with a full waterproofing system instead of a pre-formed pan and tile to the ceiling. If the room has width, a freestanding tub sits under the window where the deck was. The vanity gets rebuilt with drawers, and lighting moves from a single bar over the mirror to sconces and overhead light you can get ready by.

In the older Leander baths we gut to the studs. Fiberglass out, framing checked, new waterproofing, tiled tub or shower back in with a niche, and the fan ducted outside. Hall baths in the newer neighborhoods are often a kids' bath with a tub, and we leave those as tubs with better tile and a vanity that survives teenagers. Every one gets the same tile standard and the same schedule discipline.

Bathroom remodels that relocate drains or supply or add circuits are permitted through the City of Leander, and we pull them. If your address falls outside the city limits in Williamson or Travis County, we confirm the right authority before filing. The HOAs in Travisso, Bryson, and Crystal Falls do not review interior baths, but a new window or exterior vent may need their approval, and their work-hour rules apply to us.

If the house is still inside its builder warranty, we can photograph and document everything we open so you keep the coverage you have. Glass shops and tile vendors are down 183 in Austin, so glass is measured the day tile finishes. A primary bath runs 4 to 6 weeks, a hall bath 3 to 4, and glass adds about two weeks at the end. The price is fixed in writing before demo.
