Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Glenn Heights
A full bathroom remodel in Glenn Heights typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with walk-in shower installations falling between $4,500 and $12,000. Most projects take two to four weeks once permits clear and materials arrive. If you’re weighing a tub-to-shower conversion or replacing cast iron drains in a 1970s house, call (940) 204-5368 and Trevor Nash will give you a written price before any work starts.
We work all over Glenn Heights, from the older large-lot homes off Bear Creek Road to the newer subdivisions east of I-35E. The houses here are not all the same, and neither are the bathrooms. Some sit on pier-and-beam with cast iron that has been underground since the Carter administration. Others are slab-on-grade tract builds where the clay underneath moves more than you’d think. We know both. Our crews coordinate scheduling from the Dallas-Fort Worth office and serve Glenn Heights locally, so the person who quotes your job understands your street, your sewer situation, and your foundation.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Dallas Is Glenn Heights’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Glenn Heights homeowners call us because we put the number in writing. Not a range, not a verbal ballpark, not a “we’ll see once we open the wall.” A written price before a single fixture gets pulled. That’s the Kingswell standard, and Bathroom Remodeling work under Penhallow Remodeling Dallas follows it on every job.
Every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That promise is written into the contract, not mentioned over a handshake and forgotten. It applies to the tile, the pan, the plumbing rough-in, the vanity install, all of it.
You’ll also get background-checked, uniformed technicians on site. You’ll know who is walking into your house. And when you call, a live person answers. Not an answering service, not a callback queue. Day or night. If you’re in the middle of a shower pan leak at 9 p.m. and need to talk to someone who can explain what’s happening, we answer.
Trevor Nash has seen enough Glenn Heights remodels to know which questions to ask before the quote. Sewer or septic? Slab or pier-and-beam? Cast iron still in the ground? Those answers change the price, and we’d rather get them right at the start than surprise you after demo day.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Glenn Heights
A bathroom remodeling contractor in Glenn Heights handles the full job: demolition, plumbing rough-in, electrical work, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and the finish details. Most full remodels in this area run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on whether you’re moving drains, replacing cast iron, or keeping the existing footprint.
Whole-Room Renovations
When a Glenn Heights homeowner wants a complete tear-out, we start by checking what’s underneath. On pier-and-beam homes, that means inspecting the subfloor and the drain lines below. On slabs, it means evaluating the concrete and the existing plumbing runs. The difference matters. A shower pan installed over a moving slab will crack, and no amount of grout will save it.
Vanities, Tile, and Fixture Upgrades
Mid-grade finishes get the attention, but the rough-in is where the money goes on older Glenn Heights homes. We spec Moen or Delta fixtures because they carry their own warranties alongside ours. Tile gets a cement board substrate, the moisture-resistant layer behind the tile, so the wall behind the shower stays dry.
Walk In Shower in Glenn Heights
A walk-in shower in Glenn Heights runs $4,500 to $12,000 for a full installation, including waterproofing, tile or surround, glass, and the plumbing work required. The exact number depends on whether you’re converting a tub, replacing an existing shower, or building new space in a bathroom that never had one.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Many older Glenn Heights homes have a standard 60-inch tub that nobody uses. Converting it to a walk-in shower usually costs $3,500 to $10,000. The work involves removing the tub, relocating the drain, building a proper slope on the pan, and often replacing the valve. If the drain lines are cast iron, we’ll likely recommend replacing the visible rough-in while the wall is open.
Frameless Glass Enclosures
A frameless glass enclosure changes the entire feel of a bathroom. The glass itself is often the last piece installed. We measure after the tile is set so the panels fit exactly. The cost depends on the size and whether you want a single fixed panel or a hinged door, but it’s always quoted line-by-line before we order anything.
Trusted Brands We Service in Glenn Heights
We install and service fixtures from brands we trust to hold up under daily use and South Dallas weather. Moen and Delta fixtures are our default recommendation for shower valves and lavatory faucets because parts stay available for decades. American Standard tubs and toilets carry solid warranties and handle hard water well. We also work with Blanco sinks for bathrooms that want a more contemporary look. For Glenn Heights customers, we keep common replacement cartridges and stems in local stock, which shortens turnaround when a shower valve starts dripping six months after install.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Glenn Heights Homes
- Cast iron drain lines narrowing from the inside out. Homes built in the 1970s and 80s around Glenn Heights often have cast iron waste lines that scale over with rust and mineral buildup. By the time a toilet flushes slow or a shower backs up, the wall is already open and you’re past the easy fix.
- Slab movement from expansive clay soil. The clay under Glenn Heights shrinks and swells with seasonal moisture. On newer tract builds with slab foundations, that movement transfers straight up through the floor. A tile shower pan without a proper isolation membrane will crack at the grout lines within a year or two.
- Septic laterals still active when nobody checked. Many Glenn Heights homes were on septic for decades. As the city has extended sewer lines, some homeowners have connected while others haven’t. We verify before quoting. A bathroom remodel that forgets the septic lateral can fail final inspection.
- Undersized exhaust fans causing mold on fresh paint. Summer humidity in Glenn Heights exposes weak bathroom ventilation fast. We replaced a fan in a home off Ovilla Road that had been running into the attic instead of outside. The homeowner had repainted twice before realizing the moisture never left the room.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Glenn Heights
It can add a week or two and require a city inspection on the drain work. If your home is still on septic and the city has extended sewer to your street, the remodel may need to include capping the old septic lateral and tying the bathroom drains into the new sewer line. We check the current status before we quote, because the difference between “still on septic” and “connected last year” changes the scope and the cost. If you’re unsure where your house stands, call (940) 204-5368 and we’ll help you figure out what the city has on record.
Yes, if you’re moving a drain or touching the plumbing rough-in. A tub-to-shower conversion changes the drain location and often the venting, which means the city wants to see it. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections. That’s part of the written quote, not an add-on fee that shows up in week three. For a fixture-only swap, you often don’t need one, but we’ll tell you which applies to your job.
Replacing the exposed cast iron in a single bathroom during a remodel commonly adds $1,800 to $4,500 depending on how far the runs extend and whether they go under a slab or through a pier-and-beam crawl space. On a 1970s pier-and-beam home near Bear Creek, our crew found cast iron nearly closed with scale while converting a tub to a walk-in shower. We replaced the rough-in with PVC before the city inspection sign-off, then tied the new drain to the recently extended sewer line. It added two days but prevented a future punch list nightmare. Call (940) 204-5368 for an exact quote, since the number depends on what’s under your floor.
Yes, but there are extra steps. Detached structures on Glenn Heights lots that were historically agricultural or semi-rural often sit far from the main sewer lateral, so you’re looking at a longer drain run and possibly a pump if the grade works against you. Setback and easement rules apply differently to detached ADUs than to the main house. We scope the drain route, venting, and water supply before quoting. Those variables are exactly why a written site visit beats a phone estimate.
Usually because the installer set tile directly on a slab that’s moving with the expansive clay underneath. Glenn Heights sits on soil that swells when wet and shrinks in the summer heat, and that movement cracks rigid tile installations that lack an isolation membrane. If your floor cracked within a year of a remodel, the pan or tile bed was likely bonded straight to the slab without allowance for movement. Under our 365-Day Done Right Promise, if our tile cracks inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge.
