The room Sherman homes update last
In a lot of Sherman homes, the bathroom is the room that's been updated least. The city's early-to-mid-century houses — the bungalows and ranches near downtown, the historic homes around Heritage Row and Austin College — often still have a single small, dated bath with original tile, cramped layouts, and plumbing that's decades old. Whether you want to modernize a hall bath, build a spa-like primary suite, or make a bathroom safer to age in, a remodel is one of the highest-return projects you can do.
What we remodel
- Primary bath renovations — walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, double vanities, and better lighting and ventilation.
- Historic-home baths, updated for modern fixtures while respecting the home's original character.
- Accessibility-focused remodels — curbless showers, grab bars, and comfort-height fixtures, valuable as many longtime Sherman residents choose to stay put.
- Adding a bath where a growing household (or a new ADU) needs one.
Plumbing, licensed trades, and permits
Bathrooms are plumbing- and electrical-heavy, which is exactly the kind of work Texas regulates at the trade level — so we bring in state-licensed plumbers and electricians for the connections, venting, and circuits that require them. When a remodel relocates fixtures, adds a bathroom, or changes wiring, it needs a permit from Sherman's Development Services / Building Division (317 S. Travis St), submitted through the Self Service Portal the city launched in March 2025 on the Tyler EnerGov system.
Plan for the city's review rhythm: it doesn't begin until all fees are paid, then runs about 15 working days depending on workload, and any resubmittal restarts that 15-business-day clock. We submit complete, correct plans up front so your only bathroom isn't out of service longer than it has to be. The permit has to be pulled by the owner or a contractor registered with the City of Sherman — we're set up to do that, even though we're an Allen-based firm serving Sherman from down US-75 rather than a local branch.
Insured, bonded, and clean
Old plumbing behind old tile is where bathroom projects go sideways, so we open things up carefully and fix what we find — rotted subfloor, failing supply lines, poor venting — before we close the walls. We're insured and bonded, we contain dust and protect the rest of the home, and we hold one schedule from demo to final inspection. For code questions specific to your home, Sherman's building office is at 903-892-7229, and we're glad to take a look first.

Bathroom Remodeling in Sherman — FAQ
- Do I need a permit for bathroom remodeling in Sherman, TX?
- Yes — bathroom remodeling in Sherman is permitted work. It's filed through City of Sherman Development Services / Building Division (317 S. Travis St) using Self Service Portal (Tyler EnerGov). Plan review starts only after all fees are paid, then runs about 15 working days — and any resubmittal restarts that clock; the permit must be pulled by the owner or a Sherman-registered contractor. We pull the permit and carry the project through every inspection.
- What does bathroom remodeling in Sherman include?
- A bathroom remodeling project with us covers layout & fixture planning; waterproofing & tile assemblies; plumbing & drain relocation; ventilation & moisture control; vanities, lighting & finishes; permits, inspections & code. Because we're design-build, one team owns design, engineering for North Texas's expansive clay soil, Sherman's permitting, and construction — so nothing falls between a separate designer, builder, and stack of subcontractors.
- How much does bathroom remodeling cost in Sherman?
- It depends on the size of the project, the finishes, and any structural or foundation work, so we scope and price each Sherman project individually rather than quote a flat rate. To plan around typical DFW ranges, use our cost estimator or the free remodel cost & permit guide.
- Is The Remo Guys licensed and insured?
- Texas doesn't issue a statewide license for residential general contractors, so the real assurance is one accountable team that's insured and bonded — which The Remo Guys has been since 2019. The state-licensed electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades on your project each pull and inspect their own permits under the build.
