Bathroom Renovation in Plano, TX
The primary bathrooms we gut in Plano almost all share the same floor plan: a corner garden tub the family stopped using years ago, a narrow shower squeezed beside it, a long run of cultured marble with two shallow bowls cast into it, and a bath fan that moves so little air the mirror stays fogged for twenty minutes.
The fix is rarely just new tile. Reclaiming the tub footprint for a proper walk-in shower changes how the room feels more than any finish choice, and it usually costs less than people expect because the drain and supply lines are already in that wall.
Why homeowners in Plano hire us
We open the tub-versus-shower question early
Before quoting, we measure what a curbless or low-curb shower could be if the garden tub came out, and price both versions. Most Plano homeowners have a second tub elsewhere in the house, which makes this an easy call once they see the numbers.
Waterproofing you can inspect
We build showers on a bonded waterproof membrane over sloped mud, flood-test the pan, and photograph it before a single tile goes on. You see the part of the job that decides whether the bathroom lasts fifteen years.
Ventilation and lighting corrected, not reused
Era-typical builder fans are undersized and often vented into the attic. We size the fan to the room, duct it fully to the exterior, and rework the lighting so the vanity is lit from the front instead of the ceiling behind you.
A working bathroom during the work
We sequence around the household — dust walls at the door, floors protected on the path in, and a clear plan for which bathroom stays live each day.

Plano bathrooms from the 80s and 90s
Plano built out fast through the 1980s and 1990s, and the bathrooms from those two decades are remarkably alike: cultured marble vanity tops with integral bowls, 30-inch-high builder cabinets, a soaking tub set into a tiled deck, tub-surround tile set directly over greenboard, and a single vent fan doing the work of two. Because the framing behind those walls is sound and the plumbing is already grouped along one side of the room, changes that sound expensive — moving a shower, widening a vanity run, dropping a wall between the toilet compartment and the rest of the room — are often less costly here than in older or newer housing stock. Where the work touches structure or plumbing that requires City of Plano review, we pull the permit and meet the inspector.
