Arlington is inside our construction radius, and the bathroom work there depends on the age of the street. Near the center of town, the ranch houses from the 1950s through the 1970s have small baths with original plumbing. Farther out, the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions have the garden-tub layout we rework all the time.
What We See in Arlington Homes
Close to downtown Arlington and UTA, most of the homes we see are one-story ranches on slab foundations, with a five-by-eight hall bath and a small primary bath. Many still have cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines, so a remodel there starts with a plumbing check. The 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods are a different job: bigger rooms, a corner garden tub, a cramped shower, and a vanity without enough drawers. Both remodel well once the layout is drawn properly.
The older-home plumbing guideCommon Bathroom Remodels in Arlington
In the older Arlington neighborhoods, hall and kids bath remodels and small bathroom remodels are the most common jobs, usually replacing a tub-shower combo and a builder vanity while the cast iron comes out. In the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions, it's tub-to-shower conversions and primary bath remodels that trade the garden tub for a walk-in shower and a double vanity. Bathroom refreshes cover the rooms where the layout already works.

FAQ
Bathroom Remodel Questions in Arlington

Schedule a Free ConsultationHow far is Arlington from your crew?
Close enough. Our construction radius is roughly 25 minutes from downtown Fort Worth, and Arlington is inside it. If you're on the south side of town, our Mansfield office on North Main Street is close as well.
Do you handle the City of Arlington permit?
Yes. A bathroom remodel that moves plumbing, adds circuits, or changes the layout needs a permit from the City of Arlington. We pull it and schedule the inspections as part of the job.
My Arlington ranch is from the 1960s. Will the plumbing be a problem?
Plan on it. Many Arlington ranches from that era still have cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines, and both are usually due for replacement. We check before construction, price the replacement into the plan, and do it while the walls are open so they only come open once.
Can you make a small Arlington hall bath feel bigger without adding on?
Most of the time. A wall-hung or narrower vanity, a walk-in shower with glass instead of a tub and curtain, a recessed niche, and lighting at face height do more for a small room than a few extra square feet would. We draw it first so you can see the difference before anything is torn out.
