Irving, Texas
Bathroom Remodeling in Irving, TX: Houses and Condos
Irving has two very different kinds of bathroom projects: established single-family neighborhoods, and condos and townhomes in and around Las Colinas. The planning for each starts in a different place.
Open daily 7 AM to 10 PM. Talk to us about your bathroom.
Two kinds of Irving bathroom project
The finishes may be similar. The rules, access and risks are not.
| Consideration | Single-family home | Condo or townhome |
|---|---|---|
| Who approves the work | You, plus a city permit when plumbing or wiring changes | The association or building management, plus any city permit |
| Work hours | Normal residential hours | Often set by the building, sometimes weekdays only |
| Access and parking | Driveway and front door | Elevator reservation, loading area, visitor or garage parking rules |
| Water shutoff | At the house | May require building staff and notice to neighbors |
| Leak risk | Damage stays in your home | Water can reach the unit below or next door |
| Layout freedom | Drains can move with slab work | Limited by shared stacks and floor structure |
Condos and townhomes
Remodeling a bathroom in a shared building
Condos and townhomes in the Las Colinas area range from mid-rise buildings to attached homes with their own entrances. What they share is a set of neighbors on the other side of your walls and floor, and an association that sets the terms for construction.
Start with the paperwork
Get the building's renovation policy before choosing tile. It may limit work hours, require elevator pads and a reservation, set where debris can be staged, and spell out whether hard flooring needs a sound-rated underlayment. Some associations also want a copy of your plans before approval.
Shared plumbing
Drains connect to stacks that serve other units. Shutting off water may mean coordinating with building staff and giving neighbors notice. We schedule that work for a single, planned window rather than repeated interruptions.
Noise is the other shared concern. Removing tile set over concrete is loud, so we group it into as few days as possible and keep to the hours the building allows.
Waterproofing is the whole job
In a stacked building a slow leak doesn't just damage your bathroom. It shows up on someone else's ceiling. That's why we treat the membrane, the flood test and the drain connection as the most important parts of a shower remodel in a condo.

Single-family homes
Irving's established neighborhoods
Irving also has plenty of single-family homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s, mostly on slabs. Their bathrooms are compact, often with an original tub, a small vanity and little or no ventilation.
Here you have more layout freedom than in a condo. A common plan is a tub-to-shower conversion in one bath while keeping a tub in the other, along with a new exhaust fan sized for the room and supply lines replaced while the walls are open.
Attached townhomes sit in between. You may own the plumbing inside your walls but share a party wall with a neighbor, and the association may still control exterior vents and work hours. Treat them like a condo for approvals and like a house for layout.
For a bigger rework that moves fixtures, see our page on complete bathroom renovations.
Irving projects often include
- Walls and pan rebuilt with a continuous membrane
- New shower valve with accessible shutoffs
- Floor tile or vinyl plank chosen to suit building rules
- An exhaust fan vented outside, not into the attic or ceiling space
- Leak sensors under the vanity and toilet
How we run a condo bathroom project
Rules and approvals
We read the association's policy with you and prepare what management requests before any date is set.
Reservations and protection
Elevator time, loading access and hallway protection are booked and in place before demolition day.
Planned shutoff window
Water shutoffs are coordinated with the building so neighbors know when to expect them.
Flood test and inspection
The shower pan holds water long enough to prove it before any tile is set.
Quiet finish work
Loud demolition happens early; tile, glass and trim follow within the building's allowed hours.
Beyond Irving
Irving sits just west of Dallas, so the same crews and planning apply on both sides of the city line. For projects inside city limits, visit our Dallas bathroom remodeling page, or browse every community on our service areas list.
Questions homeowners ask
What do I need from my condo association before a bathroom remodel?
Ask for the building's renovation or alteration policy. It typically covers approval forms, allowed work hours, elevator and loading-dock reservations, contractor parking, any flooring or sound-underlayment rules, and who handles water shutoffs. We review it with you and supply whatever contractor information the association asks for.
Can I move the shower or toilet in a Las Colinas condo?
Sometimes, but it is more limited than in a house. Drains tie into shared stacks and often run through a concrete floor above the unit below, so moving a fixture more than a short distance may not be practical or permitted. We look at the drain routing and the building's rules before promising a new layout.
How do you keep a condo bathroom from leaking into the unit below?
A continuous waterproofing membrane across the shower walls and floor, a flood test before tile goes down, and careful work at the drain and valve penetrations. Many owners also add a leak sensor under the vanity for early warning.
