Bathroom remodeling in Far North Dallas, from Prestonwood to Bent Tree
North of LBJ, Far North Dallas is mostly 1970s and 1980s houses with two or three full bathrooms, and many of those bathrooms are still the originals.
D&T Contractor Services remodels bathrooms in Far North Dallas, north of LBJ Freeway up to the Collin County line, from its Bryan St service office. The houses here were built mostly from the 1970s into the 1990s, so the work is master bath remodels, garden tubs turned into walk-in showers, secondary baths refreshed for teenagers or guests, and supply lines replaced while the walls are open.
Far North Dallas bathrooms
Far North Dallas filled in later than the rest of the city. Prestonwood, Bent Tree and the neighborhoods around them went up from the 1970s through the 1990s, on larger lots with two-story plans, and many houses have a master bath plus two secondary baths upstairs.
That timing matters for a remodel. A 1978 master bath is now nearly fifty years old: the shower pan, the supply lines and the tub deck are at the end of their life, even when the room was updated cosmetically in the 2000s.
Built from the 1970s on
Far North Dallas runs from LBJ Freeway up to the Collin County line, and its neighborhoods, Prestonwood and Bent Tree among them, were built mostly from the 1970s through the 1990s. In ZIP 75248 a little over half of occupied homes are owner-occupied. For bathrooms, that means a large stock of original masters and hall baths that owners are now remodeling to stay, rather than to sell.
What we find in Far North Dallas bathrooms
The typical Far North master has a large garden tub on a tiled deck, a separate shower with a mortar-bed pan, and a long vanity with a single wide mirror. The tub is rarely used, and the shower pan is usually the first thing to fail. Taking the tub out and building a larger walk-in shower where both stood is the most common change we make.
Upstairs secondary baths in two-story plans often sit over the living room or kitchen, so a slow leak shows up as a stain on the ceiling below. When we open these rooms we check the subfloor and the drain connections before new tile goes down.
Houses built before 1990 may still have original supply lines. If we find older pipe while the walls are open, we quote replacing it in the same job rather than closing it back up.

Yes. We plan how the old tub comes out through the house, protect the stairs and floors, and check the subfloor under it before the new shower is built.
Usually a failed shower pan, a leaking drain connection or worn grout around the tub. We find the source before any patching, so the stain does not come back.
