Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Jollyville
Bathroom remodeling in Jollyville, TX typically costs between $9,000 and $28,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with walk-in shower installations running $4,500 – $12,000. That’s the number you should expect before anyone swings a hammer. Most jobs we schedule in Jollyville are quoted within five business days, and every quote comes as a written line-item price, not a verbal range that shifts once the tile saw fires up. Call us at (325) 225-5429 to schedule your free estimate.
We know Jollyville because we work here every week. The older ranch homes off Anderson Mill Road have different framing than the new two-story builds near the 183 corridor, and that changes how we approach a remodel. What doesn’t change is the process: a written price before any work starts, a real arrival window, and a 365-day promise to make it right if something fails.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Austin Is Jollyville’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Jollyville homeowners call us because we answer the phone. Not a voicemail prompt, not an answering service. A real person picks up 24/7, and they can tell you exactly where your project stands. That matters when you’ve had a contractor ghost you after demo day. Trevor Nash runs our Austin office, and he’s built this company around a simple standard: say the price before the work. Show up in the window we gave. Leave the place cleaner than we found it. That’s The Kingswell Way, and it’s been the operating rule since 2004.
Our crews in Jollyville are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s walking into your home, and they’ll be the same people every day until the job’s done. We pull permits on every bathroom remodel, we call the rough-in inspections before walls are closed, and we don’t tile over rotted framing. When a Jollyville homeowner signs with us, they get a written guarantee alongside the written price. If something we installed fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call, no re-inspection fee, no argument.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower in Jollyville
A walk in shower in Jollyville is the single most-requested bathroom upgrade we install, and it usually replaces a cramped tub surround or a dated fiberglass insert that’s leaked for years. In older Jollyville homes, this job often reveals more than expected: the cast-iron drain lines under the slab have cracked, or the floor framing under the tub has been soaking long enough to lose its structural integrity. That’s not a reason to avoid the remodel. It’s a reason to work with a company that writes allowances for exactly this into the contract from day one.
Frameless Glass Enclosures
We install frameless glass shower enclosures on most walk-in shower projects in Jollyville. The clean sightlines make a small bathroom feel larger, and the hardware we use is engineered to hold up against the humidity swings Jollyville gets between dry winters and sticky Gulf-air summers. Every enclosure is templated after the tile is set, so the glass fits the actual opening, not a rough guess.
Barrier-Free and Curbless Options
For Jollyville homeowners planning to age in place, a curbless walk-in shower removes the trip hazard of a traditional tub edge. This requires lowering the subfloor or building a sloped tile bed to maintain proper drainage. We handle the structural work, the waterproofing, and the final inspection sign-off. It’s a more involved install, and the price reflects that, but it’s done right and covered by the same 365-day promise.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Jollyville
Choosing between bathroom remodeling companies in Jollyville usually comes down to one question: does the quote cover what’s actually inside your walls? A cheap bid on a 1970s-era Jollyville ranch home almost always means the contractor hasn’t planned for cast-iron repiping or water-damaged subflooring. We plan for both. Every Bathroom Remodeling estimate from us includes line-item allowances for the surprises this housing stock produces, and any change order gets priced, written, and signed before we proceed.
Full Bathroom Remodels
A full bathroom remodel in Jollyville runs $9,000 – $28,000 depending on the size of the room, the condition of the existing plumbing and framing, and the finishes you choose. We source fixtures from Kohler and Moen, and countertops from Cambria and Silestone when you want quartz. The written price includes demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixture install, and the permit inspections.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Tub-to-shower conversions in Jollyville cost $3,500 – $10,000 and are one of the fastest ways to update a guest bath. We remove the existing tub, address any framing or drain issues, waterproof the new shower pan and walls with cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), and finish with the tile and glass enclosure you selected. Most conversions take four to seven working days, not including inspection wait times.
Trusted Brands We Service in Jollyville
We install and service major bathroom brands across Jollyville, and we keep common replacement parts stocked for faster turnaround. If you’ve got a Kohler or Moen fixture that’s failed, we can usually source the correct cartridge or valve without waiting on a special order. For countertops, we work with Cambria and Silestone quartz, which carry their own manufacturer warranties alongside our 365-day guarantee. Caesarstone is another solid option when you want a specific color or finish. When a brand stands behind its product the way we stand behind our work, you end up with two layers of protection on the same install.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Jollyville Homes
- Cast-iron drain line failure. Jollyville’s expansive clay soils shift constantly, and the original cast-iron pipes in homes built before the late 1980s crack under that movement. Once a bathroom is opened, we can usually see the damage immediately, and the fix is repiping the affected runs before new fixtures go in.
- Rotted floor framing under tubs and showers. Failed waterproofing in a 40-year-old Jollyville bathroom means water has been sitting on the subfloor for years. We sister the damaged joists, pull the structural permit, and get an inspection before any tile is set.
- Missing or failed waterproofing behind tile. Many original bathrooms in Jollyville were built with green board or bare drywall behind the tile. That works until grout cracks. We use cement board substrate and a full waterproofing membrane on every shower we build.
- Undersized venting that pulls sewer gas back into the bath. The plumbing stack on an older Jollyville ranch often isn’t sized for modern fixture counts. When we add a second shower or a double vanity, we upgrade the venting to code and get the rough-in inspection signed off before the walls close.

What moves a Jollyville bathroom remodel from the low end of that range to the high end? The condition of your drain lines and floor framing. A guest bath in a newer build with PEX plumbing and intact subfloor sits closer to the bottom. A master bath in a 1970s brick veneer ranch with cast-iron rot and water-damaged joists sits closer to the top. Either way, you’ll see the number in writing before any work starts.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Jollyville
Because most original Jollyville homes, especially those built in the 1970s and early 1980s, still have cast-iron drain lines that have cracked due to the area’s shifting expansive clay soils. A contractor who doesn’t write an allowance for repiping into the initial quote will hit that cracked pipe and hit you with a surprise $6,000+ change order. We include the allowance up front, so any adjustment is priced and approved in writing before we touch anything. Call (325) 225-5429 and ask us to explain the allowance on your specific bathroom.
Yes. Any bathroom remodel in Jollyville that moves, replaces, or adds plumbing requires a permit, and the rough-in work must be inspected before walls are closed. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the sign-off is posted before your final inspection. Skipping this step means the county won’t sign off on your final permit, and selling the house later gets complicated fast.
For a single bathroom on a slab foundation, you should plan for $4,000 – $6,000 in repiping allowance if the original cast-iron lines are still in place. If multiple bathrooms tie into a common damaged line, that allowance may need to be higher. We write this amount into the contract as a line item, and you only pay it if we actually have to do the work. Call (325) 225-5429 for a written estimate on your specific layout.
We stop work, bring in a structural inspector, and write a change order for sistering the rotted joists before any tile goes in. The change order includes the framing permit, the materials, and the labor, and it’s signed by you before we proceed. We don’t tile over rotted framing. That’s how you end up with grout cracks and floor bounce inside a year, and we’re not going to put our name on that.
When we finish a bathroom remodel in Jollyville, we walk the room with you and write down everything that needs attention, from a misaligned cabinet door to a tile edge that needs better caulking. That punch list is addressed before the job is closed, and it’s covered under the same 365-day promise. If you find something three months later that we missed, call the office and we’ll schedule a return visit at no charge.
