Benbrook is just past the southwest edge of Fort Worth and well inside our construction radius. The neighborhoods near Benbrook Lake are mostly single-story ranches built from the 1960s into the 1980s, and many of their bathrooms are still original: the tile, the plumbing, and a layout that hasn't changed since the house was built.
What We See in Benbrook Homes
Most of the homes we see in Benbrook are brick ranches on slab foundations, built between the 1960s and the 1980s. The primary baths are small by today's standards, often with a single vanity and a fiberglass or tiled shower stall, and the hall baths are tub-shower combos with four-inch tile. Many of the older ones still have cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines that should be replaced while the walls are open. The 1980s homes are more likely to have the garden-tub layout than the plumbing problem.
The older-home plumbing guideCommon Bathroom Remodels in Benbrook
Primary bath remodels are the most requested job in Benbrook, often borrowing a few feet from an oversized closet or a hallway to fit a real shower. Small bathroom remodels and hall and kids bath remodels are steady work in the 1960s and 1970s ranches, where the tub-shower combo and the four-inch tile are worn out. Tub-to-shower conversions come up most in the 1980s homes with a garden tub.

Bathroom Remodel Questions in Benbrook

Schedule a Free ConsultationIs Benbrook inside your service area?
Yes. Benbrook is a short drive southwest of our Fort Worth office at 908 Bryan Ave, well inside our roughly 25-minute construction radius.
Who handles the permit for a Benbrook bathroom remodel?
We do. Any remodel that moves plumbing or electrical needs a permit from the City of Benbrook. We file it and schedule the inspections as part of the job.
Our Benbrook house is from the 1970s. Will we need new plumbing?
Probably some of it. Many ranches from that era still have galvanized supply lines, and the older ones have cast-iron drains. We check before construction, price the replacement into the plan, and swap it while the walls are already open.
Can you make a small Benbrook primary bath bigger?
Sometimes without moving a wall, by trading the tub for a shower and using a smaller vanity. Sometimes by borrowing a few feet from the closet next door, which makes it a primary suite project. We draw both and price both so you can choose with real numbers.
