We know Brushy Creek homes. The brick veneer ranches off Great Oaks Drive, the two-story colonials near Brushy Creek Lake Park, the older builds along O’Connor Drive. These houses were solid when they went up in the 1980s and 1990s, but their bathrooms are now 30 to 40 years old, and time has a way of finding the weak spots.
Why Mason Remodeling Co Austin Is Brushy Creek’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Brushy Creek homeowners call us because we show up with a name and a face before the work starts. Every crew member is background-checked and identity-verified under The Threshold Standard, which means you receive a photo and name of each technician before they reach your door. When they arrive, they’re in a clean marked uniform, and they show you a photo ID badge. That’s not a courtesy here. It’s how we’ve operated since 2004.
Isaac Pruett leads our Bathroom Remodeling team, and he’s walked through more Brushy Creek baths than he can count. What he tells homeowners there is the same thing we’re saying here: the quote you get in writing is the price, and nothing changes without a signed change order in your hand. A live person answers our phone around the clock, so if you’re up at 6 a.m. wondering what that tile crack means, you’ll reach a human, not a voicemail tree.
We also hold to a 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything in your new Brushy Creek bathroom isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. Not a partial credit, not a negotiation. That promise is written into every contract.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Brushy Creek
Hiring a Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Brushy Creek means taking apart a room that was built when the city was still mostly ranches and farmland, and rebuilding it to handle modern plumbing, safer electrical, and better waterproofing without disturbing the house that surrounds it. A full remodel here runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on scope: moving a toilet or drain, adding a second sink, replacing a tub with a walk-in shower, or going down to the studs and rebuilding everything.
Full Gut Remodels on 1980s and 1990s Baths
Most Brushy Creek bathrooms from this era were framed tight, with fiberglass tub-shower units and linoleum floors over particleboard. Opening one up means you’ll likely find subfloor damage around the toilet flange or shower pan. We plan for that: our written estimate includes allowances for common discoveries like rotted subfloor and outdated supply lines.
Small Bathroom Remodels in Existing Footprint
If you’re keeping the same footprint and just refreshing finishes, fixtures, and the tub or shower, you’re looking at $5,000 to $12,000. We still open the walls enough to inspect what’s behind them, because skipping that step in an older Brushy Creek home is how you end up with a beautiful tile job hiding a failing drain.
Walk In Shower in Brushy Creek
A Walk In Shower in Brushy Creek replaces the old tub or neo-angle shower with a curbless or low-curb shower that’s easier to enter and clean. Installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on whether we’re converting a tub or replacing an existing shower, and whether the drain needs moving. Many homeowners in Brushy Creek choose a tub-to-shower conversion (typically $3,500 to $10,000) when the kids are gone and climbing over a tub wall no longer makes sense.
Frameless Glass Enclosures and Tile
We install frameless glass enclosures and tile from specification-grade lines so the finished shower looks like it belongs in a newer home, not an add-on to a 1994 bathroom. This is where we use brands like Kohler, Moen, and Grohe for fixtures, and Cambria or Silestone for solid surfaces when the design calls for it.
Working Around Post-Tension Slabs
One thing several Brushy Creek contractors won’t tell you until it’s too late: if you’re on a post-tension slab and the shower drain has to move, we have to map the tendon locations before we cut concrete. More on that below, because it changes how we quote and permit the job.
Trusted Brands We Service in Brushy Creek
We install and service cabinetry and surfaces from Wellborn, Cambria, and Caesarstone, which means Brushy Creek homeowners can choose finishes without chasing down specialty suppliers. Because our crews work in Brushy Creek regularly, we keep common parts and materials moving through our supply chain without the week-long waits that plague out-of-town remodelers. If you want Cambria quartz on the vanity and Caesarstone on the shower bench, we’ll spec it, order it, and install it under the same written price.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Brushy Creek Homes
- Post-tension slab complications during drain moves. Brushy Creek has a large concentration of 1990s homes with post-tension foundations. Cutting into one without locating the tendons can crack the slab and compromise the whole foundation, so we map tendon positions with the original plans or ground-penetrating radar before any concrete saw touches the floor.
- Hidden subfloor rot from slow shower pan leaks. Most original 1980s and 1990s bathrooms in Brushy Creek were built with particleboard or plywood subfloors. A shower pan that’s been weeping for a decade rots that subfloor from underneath, and you won’t see it until demo day.
- Aluminum wiring and overloaded circuits. Homes built in the Brushy Creek area during the late 1980s and early 1990s sometimes turned up aluminum branch wiring, particularly in non-load-bearing partition walls. Adding a modern vent fan, heated floor, or GFCI circuit to a bathroom on aluminum wiring requires careful pigtailing or replacement, and it always triggers a code review.
- Original cast iron or galvanized drains nearing the end. Thirty to forty years is roughly the lifespan of many original drain lines in Brushy Creek. We’ve opened walls and found cast iron so thin you could press a screwdriver through it. Re-roughing drains is a common change order on older baths, and we write that allowance into the contract upfront.

One Wall Open, Everything Changes: What Brushy Creek Bathroom Remodels Actually Uncover
Here’s what we deal with on a regular basis in Brushy Creek that a generic remodeling page never tells you. These homes were built before modern energy codes and before AFCI protection was required in bathrooms. The original subfloor around the toilet flange is often water-damaged. The partition wall between the shower and the hallway sometimes hides aluminum wiring. And when there’s a post-tension slab foundation under the bathroom, which is common in this part of Brushy Creek, moving a drain isn’t just a matter of chipping concrete. You have to know where the tendons are, or you risk a foundation crack that costs ten times the price of the remodel.
We handle it this way: inspection first. Before we give you a final number, we look behind the escutcheon plates, under the vanity, around the toilet flange. We check the panel to see what’s feeding the bathroom circuits. If we suspect post-tension tendons under the slab, we pull the original plans or scan the floor. Then we build an allowance into the contract. Any surprise that comes later gets priced in writing and approved by you before we touch it. No one opens your wall and then announces the price went up.
There’s a field case from the Sendero Springs neighborhood that sums it up. We opened a 1994 brick veneer master bath and found the original subfloor had rotted around the toilet flange from a slow leak, while the non-load-bearing partition wall hid aluminum wiring from the original build. Our General Contractor in Brushy Creek wrote a $2,400 change order for subfloor replacement and re-rough-in of the drain, and the inspection sign-off confirmed the new PEX supply lines and AFCI-protected circuits before we closed the walls. That’s how a Brushy Creek bathroom remodel should go: the surprises handled, priced, and fixed without drama.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Brushy Creek
It depends on what you’re touching. Replacing a tub with a walk-in shower in the same footprint without moving the drain typically doesn’t require a permit, but as soon as you move plumbing, alter a wall, or add a new circuit for a vent fan or heated floor, Williamson County permitting requirements kick in. We pull permits when they’re needed and handle the inspection sign-off. Call (903) 623-1966 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project triggers.
Because shower pans and toilet flanges from that era were often installed directly on particleboard or plywood without a waterproof membrane. A slow leak that starts in year five goes unnoticed for twenty years, and by the time we see it, the subfloor is rotted from underneath. This is the most common change order on 1980s bath remodels in Brushy Creek, and the reason our written estimates include a subfloor repair allowance.
Yes, but it requires locating the post-tension tendons first. We pull original foundation plans when available or scan the slab to map tendon locations before any cutting starts. Cutting a tendon during a drain move can crack the slab and compromise the entire foundation, so this is never a step we rush. It’s also why moving a drain in a post-tension home adds cost compared to a conventional slab.
We inspect before we quote, and we write allowances into the contract for common discoveries like rotted framing, aluminum wiring, and cast iron drains that need replacing. When we find something that falls outside the allowance, you get a written change order with a line-item price before we do the work. You approve it, or we don’t do it. Call us at (903) 623-1966 for an estimate that accounts for what older Brushy Creek homes really contain.
A punch list is the final walk-through where we go room by room and note anything that needs correcting: a squeaky cabinet door, a grout line that needs a touch-up, a fixture that isn’t perfectly seated. You walk with the project lead, and everything on the list gets fixed before we close the job. Inspections are handled by the Williamson County building inspector when permits are involved, and then our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work for a full year afterward.
If you’re in Brushy Creek and ready to talk about your bathroom, call (903) 623-1966 for a free estimate. We’ll send someone who verifies who they are before they walk through your door, give you a written price, and back the work for a full year.
