Bathroom Remodeling in Austin, TX
Tarrytown bathrooms and Mueller townhomes do not share the same approach — a 1950s tile surround demo is a different scope than a new-build shower layout. We walk the space first, plan the trade sequence second, and do not start demo until waterproofing is staged and every material is confirmed on-site.
- Schluter KERDI waterproofing on every shower
- Sequence: demo, board, tile, fixtures
- No plumbing rough-ins — finish work only

Bathroom Remodeling Projects in Austin
| Bathroom remodels in Austin run $6,500–$28,000 depending on scope — a standard tub-to-shower conversion in a Mueller townhome prices differently than a full primary bath gut in Tarrytown. Demo, backer board, Schluter waterproofing, tile, vanity, and fixture installation are all included. Plumbing rough-ins and electrical are outside this scope. |
Primary Bath Gut & Retile
Full primary bath gut and retile, Tarrytown estate
A 1960s ranch near the Pennybacker Bridge — the original primary bath had a cracked shower pan and 40-year-old ceramic tile throughout. We demoed to studs, installed James Hardie HardieBacker on all wet surfaces, applied Schluter KERDI waterproofing, set Daltile porcelain on walls and floors, and installed a Kohler vanity and toilet.
| Rooms | Primary bathroom |
| Scope | Full gut — 148 SF total |

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Curbless walk-in shower build, Mueller townhome
A Mueller townhome near the Project Connect light rail corridor — owners replaced a standard tub with a curbless walk-in shower. We demoed the tub surround, installed HardieBacker and Schluter KERDI waterproofing, set MSI porcelain tile on shower floor and walls in a stacked pattern, and roughed in a frameless recessed niche and new fixtures.
| Rooms | Hall bathroom |

Guest Bath & Powder Room Refresh
Dual-bath retile and vanity upgrade, Bouldin Creek
A Bouldin Creek bungalow near Barton Springs Pool — guest bath and powder room both needed tile replacement and updated fixtures. We replaced floor tile in both rooms, retiled the shower surround with MSI subway field tile, swapped Kohler vanity tops and toilets, and updated all trim to match the refreshed interiors.
| Rooms | Guest bath + powder room |
| Scope | 2 rooms — 95 SF combined |

Our Services
Related Installation Services in Austin
Bathroom remodels connect to tile, drywall, painting, cabinetry, and flooring trades. These are the services most often scoped alongside a bathroom renovation at Austin addresses.
Tile Installation
Travis County soils shift enough to crack standard tile bonds over time. We lay Schluter-DITRA uncoupling membrane under every bathroom floor tile installation and Schluter-KERDI behind every shower wall — so grout stays tight through Austin’s seasonal ground movement.
Drywall Installation
Bathroom demo in Tarrytown and Bouldin Creek homes regularly reveals water-damaged drywall at the rough opening perimeter. We hang USG 5/8" moisture-resistant board, tape with FibaTape, and coat with USG All Purpose joint compound before any backer board or tile goes up.
Painting Services
After tile grout cures and fixtures are set, bathroom walls get Sherwin-Williams Emerald in semi-gloss — the right sheen for humidity-heavy spaces like Mueller townhome baths and Tarrytown primary suites. We coordinate paint scheduling with the tile cure window.
Cabinet Installation
Vanity cabinet upgrades are part of the bathroom scope on most Tarrytown and Bouldin Creek renovations. When owners want semi-custom Fabuwood or Schrock boxes, we sequence the cabinet set so plumbing rough-ins and tile work align on the correct dates.
Flooring Installation
Bathroom tile transitions to hallway flooring at the threshold. We set Roberts underlayment and install Lifeproof LVP in the adjacent hall, then add a Zamma color-matched reducer strip so the bathroom and hallway floor elevations meet cleanly.
