What to know before you hire in Aubrey
Housing in Aubrey is fairly new (median year built 2011), so remodels here are mostly about finishes: swapping a fiberglass insert for a tiled walk-in shower, a bigger vanity, better lighting. With PEX lines in the walls, moving a drain or valve is cheaper than in older towns.
Prices in Aubrey sit about 7% above the US average. In practice that means $16,000 – $34,100 for a mid-range remodel.
Timeline: 3 to 6 weeks of work for a typical hall or primary bath, plus 1 to 4 weeks before start for design, permits and material lead times.

Popular options
- Tub-to-shower conversion. The most requested change. Typically $7,000 to $16,000 with tile, less with an acrylic or solid-surface system.
- Curbless / walk-in shower. No step in, linear drain, often with a bench and grab bars. Good for aging in place and small rooms.
- Heated tile floor. Electric mat under tile, about $10 to $20 per sq ft installed. Popular in colder climates.
- Large-format porcelain. Fewer grout lines, less scrubbing. The floor has to be dead flat, so prep runs a bit higher.

Choosing an installer in Aubrey
Texas has no statewide remodeling license; plumbing must be done by a plumber licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners.
- Verify the license or registration on the state lookup and match the name on the estimate.
- Ask for a certificate of general liability insurance and workers' comp, sent directly from the insurer.
- Get a written, line-item estimate: demo, plumbing, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, permit.
- Ask who pulls the permit. It should be the contractor, in their name.
- Ask which waterproofing system they use behind tile and whether it carries a warranty.
- Keep the deposit modest and tie later payments to finished milestones, not dates.
- Get labor and product warranties in writing before work starts.
How it works
In-home measure and scope
The remodeler checks the subfloor, venting, supply lines and drain locations, then writes a line-item scope.
Design and selections
Pick tile, vanity, fixtures and glass before demo starts. A back-ordered vanity can stall the job for weeks.
Permit
Most cities require a permit when plumbing, electrical or walls change. Your contractor should pull it in their name.
Demo, rough-in, inspection
The room is opened up, plumbing and electrical are roughed in and inspected before walls close.
Waterproofing and tile
A bonded membrane or liquid waterproofing goes on before tile. Skimp here and the shower fails in 5 years instead of 30.
Finish and final walkthrough
Vanity, toilet, glass, trim and paint, then final inspection and a punch list walk with you.

Questions from Aubrey homeowners
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Aubrey?
Most Aubrey homeowners pay $16,000 – $34,100 for a mid-range remodel. A cosmetic refresh starts around $6,900, and a large primary bath can reach $85,300. Local prices run about 7% above the US average.
Does a bathroom contractor in Aubrey need a license?
Texas has no statewide remodeling license; plumbing must be done by a plumber licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Also check with the Denton County building department about permits for plumbing or electrical changes.
Which ZIP codes in Aubrey are served?
Installers in our network cover 76227. If you live just outside them, call anyway. Most crews drive 20 to 40 miles for a job.
How long does it take?
Plan on 3 to 6 weeks of on-site work once demo starts. The schedule usually depends on the plumbing inspection and on special-order items like glass and vanities.
Do I need a permit?
Usually yes if plumbing, electrical, framing or ventilation changes. Swapping a vanity or toilet in the same spot usually does not. The contractor should pull the permit. If they ask you to pull it as the owner, that is a red flag.
Does a bathroom remodel add value?
At resale, a mid-range bath remodel usually gets back somewhere around two-thirds of what it cost, depending on the market. The bigger effect is speed of sale: buyers walk away from dated or water-stained bathrooms, and they notice the shower and vanity first.
