Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across The Woodlands
A full bathroom remodel in The Woodlands typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the number that matters is the one you get before we start work. Not a ballpark. A written price you can hold us to. Trevor Nash and the Penhallow Remodeling Houston team work directly with homeowners in Grogan’s Mill, Cochran’s Crossing, Panther Creek, Indian Springs, Alden Bridge, and every village in between. If you’re planning a primary bath update, a tub-to-shower conversion, or a full gut and rebuild, call (254) 527-5340 and we’ll schedule a walkthrough. You’ll know exactly what the job costs, what the schedule looks like, and what happens if anything isn’t done right.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Houston Is The Woodlands’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Most contractors in The Woodlands will give you a verbal estimate and hope you don’t hold them to it. We don’t work that way. Every Bathroom Remodeling project starts with a written price and a written 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s not a line in a brochure. It’s in the contract, on every job.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up 24/7, not a voicemail maze or a callback window. When you call about a tile cracked six weeks after install, you talk to someone who can actually do something about it. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking through your front door.
The Woodlands isn’t Houston, and it isn’t Tomball. The village associations here review architectural changes, the township protects mature trees, and the housing stock skews toward large brick and stone homes built from the 1970s onward. We’ve worked inside those rules. We know what triggers a review and what doesn’t. That local knowledge keeps your project moving when a less familiar contractor would stall.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Renovation in The Woodlands
A Bathroom Renovation in The Woodlands means more than swapping tile. It’s a structural or layout-level project: moving plumbing, reconfiguring a vanity wall, replacing a tub with a walk-in shower, or rebuilding a water-damaged subfloor. It’s the job you need when the bathroom no longer works for the way your household actually lives. In The Woodlands, that usually means a 1980s or 1990s primary bath in a brick home where the original layout is cramped, dark, and built around fixtures that are past their useful life. A full renovation typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on footprint, finish level, and what the village review requires.
Custom cabinetry and architectural glass
High-end work in The Woodlands often includes custom millwork, a Cambria quartz deck, or a frameless glass enclosure cut to a specific opening. Lead times on those materials drive the schedule more than labor does. We order early, after the price is fixed in writing, so the drawers and glass arrive when the rough-in is ready for them. If an architectural committee requires a design change, we adjust before we order, not after you’ve paid for non-returnable material.
Designer and architect coordination
Many homeowners in The Woodlands work with a designer or architect on a remodel. We coordinate directly with them, handling submittals, material specifications, and schedule alignment. You don’t carry messages between parties. We keep the same set of drawings, the same written price, and the same expectation for when the job finishes.
Small Bathroom Remodel in The Woodlands
A Small Bathroom Remodel in The Woodlands usually means a powder room, guest bath, or secondary bath under about 50 square feet. It’s the right scope when the room functions but looks tired: dated tile, a vanity that’s delaminating at the base, a builder-grade mirror with rust at the edges. In The Woodlands, a small bath remodel typically runs $5,000 to $12,000. The range depends on whether you keep the existing footprint, what you choose for tile and fixtures, and whether the toilet and shower locations stay put.
Tub-to-shower conversion in a powder or guest bath
One of the most common small-bath projects we do in The Woodlands is pulling an unused tub and putting in a walk-in shower with a low-profile threshold. It opens the room visually and makes the bath usable for older family members. When the bathroom sits near a mature tree outside, we plan the drain route to avoid the root zone rather than cutting through it.
Vanity, tile, and fixture refresh
A smaller project can still include a KOHLER or Moen faucet, porcelain tile, and a new vanity with a Cambria quartz top. The key is ordering the vanity and slab before demolition. Lead times on those pieces average three to six weeks, and if you wait until after demo, the room sits with a rough-in open. We don’t let that happen.
Trusted Brands We Service in The Woodlands
We install and work around fixtures from KOHLER and Moen, countertops from Cambria and Silestone, and cabinetry from KraftMaid and Wellborn. For frameless glass enclosures, we stock and work with Mr-Glass and Clarity products commonly specified for The Woodlands homes. When parts need replacement mid-project, our Houston office coordinates supply runs so a leaking valve or a mis-cut panel doesn’t idle the whole schedule. You get the brand you picked on day one, not a substitution that showed up because ordering slipped.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in The Woodlands Homes
- Water intrusion at the tub deck and shower curb. The humidity here never really lets up, and a poorly sealed tub deck from a 1990s original build will fail at the grout lines and wick moisture into the subfloor. We rebuild with cement board substrate – the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile – rather than green board, which falls apart in the humid months.
- Ordering custom millwork before the architectural review signs off. We’ve been called in to fix jobs where the homeowner paid for a custom vanity, the village committee required a design change, and the piece couldn’t be returned. The money was gone and the schedule stretched. We sequence decisions so approvals happen before orders.
- Root damage to drain lines from mature pines and oaks. The Woodlands tree-preservation rules mean you often can’t cut a root to run a drain. We route plumbing with offsets and pier-and-beam-friendly layouts that keep the tree and the bathroom both intact.
- Inadequate ventilation in windowless secondary baths. Many original baths in The Woodlands were built with a single builder-grade exhaust fan that can’t keep up with July humidity. We upgrade to higher-CFM fans and, where code and village rules allow, add operable glazing for cross-ventilation.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in The Woodlands, TX
Here’s the honest breakdown for common scopes in The Woodlands. The spread inside each range reflects finish level, footprint, and what the village review requires. A primary bath in a $700,000 home with custom millwork and a Cambria slab will land near the top. A guest bath refresh with standard tile and a stock vanity will land near the bottom.
| Project Scope | Typical Price Range in The Woodlands |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 – $12,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
What moves the number? Material selection accounts for the biggest swing. A KOHLER cast-iron tub costs more than an acrylic alcove tub and takes longer to arrive. A frameless glass enclosure from Mr-Glass runs more than a curtain rod. Layout changes that move a toilet or shower drain add plumbing labor. And in The Woodlands, a village-mandated design change after review can add cost if the original scope didn’t anticipate it. Our written price locks the number before we order anything. You’ll never get a change order because we guessed wrong on a slab lead time. Call (254) 527-5340 for a free, written estimate.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in The Woodlands
Yes, in most cases. Interior remodels that don’t change the exterior footprint or roofline usually don’t need village approval, but any work that adds a window, changes an exterior wall, alters plumbing that affects drainage, or touches protected trees will trigger a review. We confirm with your specific village’s architectural committee before you spend money on materials. Call (254) 527-5340 and we’ll help you figure out what your project requires.
Usually not without significant review and replacement planting. The Woodlands tree-preservation rules make it very difficult to remove a protected pine or oak to gain building area. In practice, we work with pier-and-beam foundations and plumbing offsets to build around root zones rather than through them. The project can almost always be done, but the layout follows the trees. Call (254) 527-5340 for a walkthrough and we’ll tell you what’s feasible on your lot.
Three reasons. First, the housing stock here is larger and higher-end on average, so remodels typically spec higher-grade tile, cabinetry, and fixtures. Second, village deed restrictions and architectural review add a layer of design constraint and approval time that most Houston suburbs don’t have. Third, lot characteristics – mature trees, expansive clay soil, and drainage requirements – often force foundation-sensitive plumbing layouts. The range we quote is $9,000 to $28,000 for a full bath. Call (254) 527-5340 for a written number on your project.
We order them before demolition starts. A KOHLER cast-iron tub can take six to eight weeks. A custom KraftMaid or Wellborn vanity can take four to six. Cambria and Silestone slabs are cut to template, which adds another two to three weeks after measure. The key is locking the price in writing first, then ordering. That way the material arrives when the rough-in is closed and there’s no stretch where the bathroom sits unusable. Call (254) 527-5340 and we’ll walk you through a realistic schedule.
Yes. We use cement board substrate behind all wet-area tile and a waterproof membrane at the tub deck and shower curb. In windowless baths, we upgrade the exhaust fan to a higher CFM and may add a humidity-sensing switch. The humidity here is relentless, and a remodel that doesn’t address moisture management will fail at the grout lines within a few years. We build it right the first time, and if it fails anyway, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we fix it at no charge. Call (254) 527-5340 to schedule your free estimate.
