Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Uptown Dallas
Bathroom remodeling in Uptown Dallas typically runs $9,000 – $28,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000. If you live in a high-rise off McKinney Avenue or a converted warehouse loft near the Katy Trail, you already know this is not suburban work. We coordinate HOA approvals, street-use permits, and core-drilling on post-tensioned slabs before the first tile comes up. Call (940) 204-5368 for a written price and scope, not a verbal ballpark.
Key Takeaways:
- Full bathroom remodel in Uptown Dallas: $9,000 – $28,000, fixed in writing before work starts.
- Most Uptown condo boards require a certificate of insurance naming the HOA as additionally insured before any demo begins.

- Every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, alongside a written price and a defined arrival window.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Dallas Is Uptown Dallas’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Uptown Dallas homeowners call us because we understand the building before we touch the bathroom. That matters when your condo is on the 22nd floor of a tower with a loading dock schedule, a freight elevator reservation system, and a property manager who wants your contractor’s insurance certificate before the dumpster arrives. Trevor Nash leads our Uptown Dallas work with that exact reality in mind. We carry the Kingswell standard on every job: written price first, a real arrival window, a clean site, and a written guarantee at the end.
Our reputation in Uptown Dallas is built on doing the unglamorous paperwork right. We have remodeled bathrooms in towers along McKinney Avenue, in lofts converted from early-1900s brick warehouses near the West Village, and in newer builds off Cedar Springs Road. The crews arrive background-checked and in uniform. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, so when your building super calls about a delivery window, someone picks up. That is not a perk here. It is the baseline.
Uptown Dallas work rewards contractors who respect the building’s rules and the owner’s calendar. We do both. Our Bathroom Remodeling team coordinates with designers, architects, and building engineers so the finish you want is the finish that passes inspection.
Styles & brands we work with
Tub to Shower Conversion in Uptown Dallas
A tub-to-shower conversion in Uptown Dallas usually runs $3,500 – $10,000, and in many condo towers it is the single smartest change you can make to a primary bath. The first sentence tells you the range. The rest tells you why: most Uptown units built in the 1980s and 1990s came with a shallow alcove tub that nobody over five-foot-six can use comfortably, and the footprint is already there. We remove the tub, waterproof the alcove correctly, and set a walk-in shower with a low-profile curb or a true curbless entry where the slab allows.
The catch in Uptown Dallas is almost always below the floor. Your building sits on a post-tensioned concrete slab, which means we cannot chip out concrete to move a drain the way a suburban crew might. We core-drill. That is the difference between a shower that drains and a six-figure structural repair. It is also why we never let price pressure shortcut the process.
Low-Curb and Curbless Options
HOA wet-area codes in Uptown Dallas often restrict curb height, especially in buildings where a curbless shower is allowed only with a specific waterproofing assembly. We handle that with the board before rough-in, not after. Our written scope includes exactly what the HOA approved, so there is no tear-out when the inspection happens.
Freestanding Tub Removal in Condo Baths
Some Uptown lofts have an oversized corner tub that eats the whole room. Removing it frees enough square footage for a double vanity and a larger shower. We coordinate the freight elevator and the haul-away path with your building manager before the tub comes out, so the old cast iron does not sit in the hallway overnight.
One Day Bath Remodel in Uptown Dallas
A true “one day bath remodel” in Uptown Dallas is a rare thing, and we will not sell you a fantasy. What we can do in a single day is a bathtub replacement or a lined-shower refresh that replaces the visible surfaces without touching the drain location or the walls behind them. Those jobs run at the lower end of the $3,500 – $10,000 range. A full gut with tile, glass, and fixture changes is a multi-day project, and anyone who says otherwise is cutting a corner that your HOA will notice.
Where the one-day timeline does apply in Uptown Dallas is a high-end refresh: new American Standard tub, new Moen valve trim, new glass, new caulk and grout lines, all done in one carefully staged day. We schedule the freight elevator, get the old tub out, and have the new one in before the building’s quiet hours kick in.
What a One-Day Refresh Includes
The quick wins: a new bathtub, new fixtures, new glass, new tile surround if the substrate is sound. We confirm the substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) is in good shape before we quote, because if it is not, the right fix is a full remodel, not a cover-up.
When a One-Day Job Is the Wrong Call
If your drain needs to move, if the HOA requires waterproofing upgrades, or if the tile is original to a 1980s tower unit, a one-day refresh will fail. We would rather tell you that before you spend money than after the first shower. That honesty is part of why Uptown Dallas homeowners keep our number.
Trusted Brands We Service in Uptown Dallas
We install and service fixtures from Moen, Delta, and American Standard, and we stock common replacement parts locally so a valve swap in an Uptown Dallas condo does not wait on a backorder. When the job calls for higher-end finishes, we coordinate Cambria quartz and Kohler fixtures through our supplier network, with delivery timed to your building’s freight elevator schedule. The brand matters because the guarantee behind it matters. A Moen cartridge has a lifetime warranty. Our work carries a 365-day promise in writing. Together they mean you are not chasing a leak alone six months after the job is done.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Uptown Dallas Homes
- HOA architectural-review delays. A shower pan or curb height that violates the condo board’s wet-area code forces a teardown and change order after rough-in inspection. We submit the drawings before ordering materials, so the board signs off before the slab is touched.
- Post-tensioned slab surprises. Uptown’s towers sit on post-tensioned concrete, which means a drain relocation for a walk-in shower must be core-drilled, never chipped. Hitting a tension cable is a structural emergency, and it is entirely avoidable with the right equipment and a GPR scan first.
- Street-use permit failures on McKinney Avenue. A crane or material hoist blocking a lane without a permit triggers a stop-work order and city fines. We pull the permit before the crane is booked, which keeps the job moving instead of stalled in a loading zone.
- Waterproofing shortcuts in converted warehouses. Early-1900s brick lofts near the West Village were never built for modern wet areas. We install cement board substrate and full waterproofing membranes because the person who skips that step owns a mold problem in three years.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Uptown Dallas, TX
The range for a full bathroom remodel in Uptown Dallas is $9,000 – $28,000. A small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 – $12,000. What moves the number is scope, not mood: moving a drain on a post-tensioned slab costs more than keeping it, a curbless shower costs more than a low curb, and a custom vanity costs more than a stock cabinet. Every quote we write is a fixed number, not an estimate range. The price we hand you before ordering is the price on the final invoice. That is the Kingswell standard, and it has been since 2004.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Uptown Dallas
It adds a day or two for ground-penetrating radar scanning and core-drilling if you are moving a drain, and it can add a week if the HOA requires an engineer’s review of the drilling plan. We build that into the schedule before we start, so the timeline you are quoted is the timeline you get. Call (940) 204-5368 for a written scope that includes the slab work.
Yes, and it is common, but you will be without a shower for four to seven days depending on HOA inspection timing. We stage the work so the toilet stays usable as long as code allows and coordinate with your building’s freight elevator for material delivery. A written schedule comes with your written price.
Because the building adds costs: freight elevator reservations, loading dock hours, street-use permits for cranes, HOA insurance certificates, and the core-drilling required on post-tensioned slabs. A $9,000 bathroom in Richardson is often a $14,000 bathroom in Uptown Dallas once the high-rise logistics are done correctly. We show you those line items before you sign.
It locks in the exact scope of work, the materials, the brands, the allowances, the schedule with inspection sign-offs, and the warranty terms. If something outside the scope is discovered, we bring you a written change order before any work continues. The number on day one is the number on the invoice, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work when it is done.
We schedule noisy work, including rough-in and core-drilling, before 9 AM or in the building’s designated construction hours, whichever is stricter. Our crew worked a 14th-floor primary bath on McKinney Avenue where the tub-to-shower rough-in was done before the office next door opened. It is not optional. It is how the job gets done without a stop-work order.
