Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Camp Swift
A full bathroom remodel in Camp Swift typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. The number moves based on what’s behind your walls, and in Camp Swift, that’s rarely straightforward. We’re Penhallow Remodeling Austin, and we’ve opened enough bathrooms in this unincorporated pocket of Bastrop County to know that the real conversation starts with slab condition, wiring age, and what the county will want to see once the drywall comes down. Call (325) 225-5429 and we’ll give you a written price before any tool leaves the truck.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Austin Is Camp Swift’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Camp Swift isn’t Bastrop. It isn’t Elgin either. The unincorporated status changes how permits work, how inspections get scheduled, and what’s likely hiding inside a wall that hasn’t been opened since Lyndon Johnson was in office. Our crews know the roads out here, the soil under the slabs, and the county’s rough-in requirements. We schedule around real arrival windows, not “sometime between Tuesday and Friday.”
Every technician who walks into a Camp Swift home is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s there and why. Trevor Nash oversees the work, and the Kingswell standard we operate under has been in place since 2004: written price first, defined arrival window, clean job site, written guarantee on every project. That’s not marketing copy. It’s how we run the company.
A live person answers our phones 24/7. Not a voicemail tree. Not a call center that takes a message and promises someone will call back in two business days. You call, a real person picks up, and you get answers.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower in Camp Swift
A walk in shower in Camp Swift replaces the tub-and-surround footprint with an open, curbless or low-curb shower built on a properly waterproofed base. It’s the remodel we recommend most often for older bathrooms where the existing tub is too narrow, too worn, or too difficult to step into. In an unincorporated area like Camp Swift, the job involves more than swapping a fixture: the subfloor under an old tub often hides exactly the kind of slab settling and drain damage that only shows up once the tub comes out. We inspect that before we set anything new.
What the installation actually involves
We pull the tub, inspect the subfloor and drain, address any movement or rot, then build the shower pan on a proper slope with waterproofing membrane and cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile). Frameless glass enclosures go in last, after tile is set and cured.
When a Camp Swift homeowner should choose this
When the tub is original to a converted barracks unit or a 1960s frame home, or when mobility and step-over height are daily concerns. Walk-in showers also make a small bathroom feel bigger, which matters in the compact layouts common to older Camp Swift housing.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Camp Swift
Bathroom Remodeling companies in Camp Swift aren’t all the same, and the difference shows up the first time you ask for a written price. Many outfits quote a verbal number over the phone, then discover “unexpected conditions” once the tile is off. We do the opposite. Before we submit a proposal for any Camp Swift bathroom, we walk the floor, check the slab for signs of the Camp Swift crumble, and build allowances for the surprises this housing stock reliably produces. Your contract carries a written price and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Serving the full Camp Swift footprint
We work throughout the unincorporated sections around Camp Swift, including properties along FM 20, the rural residential pockets north of Highway 95, and the smaller clusters east toward Bastrop County Road 301. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Austin office, but the crews that arrive are local to your area and know the roads.
What we quote before we start
Every proposal includes line items for demolition, plumbing rough-in, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish work. No “allowance” that turns into a blank check. If we find something behind the wall that needs attention, you get a written change order with a price before we touch it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Camp Swift
We install fixtures and materials from Kohler, Moen, Delta, and Toto. When a Camp Swift homeowner wants a walk-in shower with a Moen thermostatic valve, we stock the common trim kits locally and can source specialty parts fast. Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz tops go into vanity installations, and we order from KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry when the remodel includes a new vanity. These brands carry their own warranties, which layer on top of our 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s two layers of coverage on every job.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Camp Swift Homes
- Slab movement under tubs and shower pans. The expansive blackland prairie clay that Camp Swift sits on shrinks in drought and swells after rain. A tub set without a proper inspection can end up a quarter inch out of level within a year, cracking grout and stressing drain connections.
- Ungrounded or outdated wiring behind shower walls. Many Camp Swift conversions still have original ungrounded circuits. Once the wall is open and the county inspector looks, that wiring has to come up to code. We build that into the initial quote rather than surprising you after demo.
- Drain lines laid directly over clay with no flex coupling. Wet-dry cycles shift the ground enough to crack cast iron. If your home was built before flexible couplings became standard practice, there’s a real chance your bathroom drain has stress damage you can’t see.
- Manufactured-home framing that can’t support a full tile shower. Older manufactured units in Camp Swift often have load-bearing walls and undersized joists. A walk-in shower install in that situation needs steel reinforcement, not just a taller curb and a coat of RedGard.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Camp Swift
Yes. Even if the original structure predates county permits, any new plumbing, electrical, or structural work requires a current Bastrop County permit. We pull permits on every Camp Swift remodel. The inspector signs off on the rough-in before walls close, which protects your investment and your insurance. Call (325) 225-5429 if you want to know what your specific home will trigger.
We stop, document the condition, and write a change order with a firm price before doing anything else. The Camp Swift crumble is common enough that our contracts for this area include a pre-construction slab and framing audit so you know the condition going in. If movement appears, we re-level or reinforce as needed and you approve every dollar before it’s spent.
Yes, if it’s built correctly on a properly prepared base. We install a reinforced mortar bed or a manufacturer’s foam pan system over a stabilized subfloor, using flex couplings on all drain connections to absorb ground movement. That’s the detail that keeps a shower from cracking grout or leaking at the drain joint. A shower built without it will fail here faster than almost anywhere else in Bastrop County.
We inspect everything we can before demolition, then build realistic allowances into the written quote. Converted barracks units in Camp Swift often have wiring and drain rough-ins that would never pass inspection today. When we find it, you get a photo, an explanation, and a written price for the correction. Nothing proceeds without your signature.
Different housing stock, different code thresholds, different soil conditions. Austin homes built under modern codes need fewer corrections. Camp Swift homes often need subfloor repairs, grounding updates, and drain sleeving before finish work even begins. The $9,000 starting point assumes a small-format remodel with minimal surprises. Once you’re into a full gut of a converted barracks unit with slab and wiring corrections, that’s where the upper end of the range comes in. Call (325) 225-5429 and we’ll give you a written number specific to your house.
