Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Plano
A full bathroom remodel in Plano typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, with smaller projects like a tub-to-shower conversion starting around $3,500. The single biggest variable isn’t the tile or the vanity. It’s whether your HOA has architectural review requirements, and whether your post-tension slab lets us move drain lines without hitting a tendon. We handle both of those before the first hammer swing, so the written price we give you on day one is the price on the final invoice. Call (940) 204-5368 and Trevor Nash will walk you through what your specific Plano home will actually need.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Dallas Is Plano’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Plano homeowners have a specific worry that homeowners in older Texas cities don’t: the master-planned subdivisions off Custer Road, Independence Parkway, and Parker Road carry architectural standards that can stall a bathroom remodel for 30 to 45 days if the paperwork isn’t filed right. We’ve remodeled bathrooms in Glendover Park, Old Shepard Place, and the newer brick-heavy subdivisions west of the Dallas North Tollway. We know which HOA forms need to go in before a bathroom window or exhaust vent touches an exterior wall.
Every crew member shows up background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s walking through your door, and a live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail prompt. Homeowners around Plano consistently tell us the same thing: the written guarantee and the written price, both in hand before demo day, are why they chose us over the three other bids. That’s the Kingswell standard we’ve operated under since 2004, and it covers every bathroom we touch in Plano.

Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Plano
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Plano tend to fall into two camps: production shops that push the same three tile pallets, and custom remodelers who understand that a 1990s Plano bathroom has oak vanities, warm brick accents, and specific HOA texture rules that a gray-on-gray package won’t match. Our Bathroom Remodeling team falls in the second camp. We build showers around the way your slab actually moves, and we specify tile and trim that look like they belong in a Plano home, not a spec sheet from another city.
Written Pricing and HOA Paperwork First
Before any work starts, we file the HOA alteration form if your remodel touches an exterior wall, a bathroom window, or a vent penetration. Review adds 30 to 45 days in several Plano HOAs, so we schedule material orders and crew time around that window instead of letting the job sit half-finished. You get a written price before we file anything, and that number doesn’t change when the committee comes back with conditions.
Working Around Post-Tension Slabs
Plano’s post-tension slabs mean we can’t just cut into the floor to reroute a drain. We locate tendons first and design the plumbing path around them. Hitting one can void a foundation warranty and create a structural problem that no bathroom remodel should ever cause. This is standard practice on every Plano job we take, not an add-on service.
Bathroom Renovation in Plano
Bathroom Renovation in Plano often means fixing what years of expansive clay soil movement did to a slab-on-grade bathroom. When the soil shrinks in Plano’s hot summers and swells after spring rain, the slab flexes. That movement cracks tile, separates shower pans from walls, and lets water into the subfloor. A bathroom renovation here isn’t cosmetic. It’s structural repair wrapped in new finishes, and it needs a contractor who knows the difference. A full renovation runs $9,000 – $28,000 depending on whether we’re opening walls, moving drains, or replacing a rotted subfloor.
Subfloor Repair Before Tile
In a Glendover Park home off Custer Road, our crew converted a tub to a walk-in shower and found the subfloor had rotted from decades of slow leaks along the slab’s wet areas. We pulled the old tile, shored the rough-in plumbing, and laid new cement board substrate, the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile, before setting a Kohler pan and Heritage brown bullnose trim that matched the existing 1990s brick bathroom niche. That’s the difference between a renovation that lasts and one that cracks again in six weeks.
Material Choices That Fit Plano Homes
We steer Plano clients toward fixtures from Delta and Moen because they hold up to Plano’s hard water, and trim colors that sit well against unpainted oak and warm brick. A generic white marble look can make a renovated bathroom feel disconnected from the rest of a 1990s Plano house. Matching the neighborhood’s material language matters here, both for resale and for HOA sign-off.
Trusted Brands We Service in Plano
We install Moen and Delta fixtures as standard on most Plano bathroom remodels, with American Standard available for accessible and elderly-in-place designs. Blanco sinks show up often in our vanity replacements, especially when a homeowner wants a specific undermount profile. Because our Dallas-Fort Worth office stocks common parts and trim for these brands, we can pull warranty components locally instead of waiting on a supplier truck. If a Moen cartridge fails inside our 365-day guarantee window, we’re already scheduled to come make it right.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Plano Homes
- HOA stop-work orders. Homeowners skip the alteration form before opening an exterior wall for a bathroom window or vent. Review adds 30 to 45 days, and starting early can mean a stop-work order and a re-filed application. We file first, then schedule demo.
- Post-tension tendon strikes. A contractor cuts into a slab-on-grade bathroom floor to move a drain and hits a tensioned cable. We locate tendons before any concrete cutting, and we design around them instead of gambling.
- Tile pallets that clash with Plano’s brick. A gray-and-white marble package goes into a 1990s bathroom with oak vanities and warm brick. The workmanship may be fine, but the room looks foreign. We specify color and texture against the actual brick on the exterior of the house, not a catalog.
- Rotted subfloors from slab movement. Expansive clay soil moves Plano slabs just enough to crack shower pans and let water sit under tile for years. When we open a floor, rotted underlayment is common. We replace it and lay new cement board before a single tile is set.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Plano
Not usually, unless the work touches an exterior wall, a bathroom exhaust vent through the roof, or a window opening. The trigger in most Plano HOAs is any exterior penetration or visible change, not interior wall movement. Interior-only remodels that keep the same footprint and don’t change exterior vents generally skip the alteration form. We check your HOA’s specific covenant before we file anything, so you’re not guessing. Call (940) 204-5368 and we’ll confirm what your neighborhood actually requires.
Plano’s clay soil shrinks in summer heat and swells after spring rain, which makes the slab flex enough to crack tile, separate shower pans, and let water into the subfloor. On a post-tension slab, we cannot cut into the concrete to move a drain without first locating the tensioned cables. We map the tendons, design the new plumbing path around them, and often add a crack-isolation membrane before tile goes down. It adds a day to the job, but it prevents the kind of cracked shower floor Plano homeowners call us about every season. For an exact scope and price, call (940) 204-5368.
Yes, and we plan for it before the wall opens. Plano’s master-planned subdivisions from the 1980s through 2000s used a narrow palette of muted browns, reds, and creams. Matching that brick often means trips to specialized brickyards or salvaging stock from demolished structures in the same era. We handle that sourcing as part of the written price, and we file the HOA alteration form with the specific brick match documented, which usually speeds committee sign-off.
For a bathroom remodel that moves plumbing or changes fixtures, Plano’s permit review typically adds one to two weeks for simple interior work. If your project also needs HOA architectural review, that’s the longer wait: 30 to 45 days in many subdivisions. We file both at the same time, schedule material orders around the approval dates, and sequence demo so the bathroom isn’t torn apart while a committee sits on the paperwork. The result is a calendar you can plan around, not a gutted room waiting for a rubber stamp.
You can hire subs directly, but on a Plano home with a post-tension slab and HOA oversight, the risk lands on you. A plumber who cuts concrete without tendon mapping or opens an exterior wall without filing the alteration form creates liability that falls on the homeowner, not the sub. A general contractor coordinates the permit, the HOA filing, the slab-safe plumbing path, and the sequence so the work passes inspection the first time. The written guarantee and written price are the point; you’re not chasing three separate crews when something fails.
