Bathroom Remodeling in Katy.

Bathrooms fail from the inside out. In Katy homes we routinely open walls and find pan liners that were never lapped correctly, hot-mopped pans past their life, or vents dumping humidity into the attic. Getting waterproofing and ventilation right is the difference between a bath that lasts twenty years and one that fails in five.

In short

Bathroom Remodeling in Katy, Texas typically costs $35,000–$65,000 for a mid-range primary bath and $75,000–$150,000 for a custom spa bath, and takes 3–4 weeks of design and selections, then 5–8 weeks on site. Novara Construction is a licensed, insured design-build contractor serving Katy, TX and surrounding Harris, Fort Bend & Waller Counties, handling design, permitting, and construction under one fixed-price contract.

Local conditions

Katy homes

Most Katy homes we work on are 1995–2015 builder homes in master-planned communities: two-story plans with formal dining rooms nobody uses, closed-off kitchens, builder-grade cabinetry, and dated primary baths with garden tubs. The highest-return projects here are opening the kitchen to the family room, converting the garden tub into a walk-in wet room, and finishing out flex space or a game room above the garage.

We design the room around the plumbing you have or the plumbing you are willing to move, confirm slab or pier-and-beam access early, and detail the waterproofing assembly before a single tile is ordered.

Permits & approvals

Who reviews it

Depending on your address, permits run through the City of Katy, unincorporated Harris County, Fort Bend County, or Waller County — and most master-planned neighborhoods add an HOA architectural review on top of that. Novara prepares the drawings, submits the packet, and manages inspections so you are not chasing three agencies.

FAQ

Katy questions

Can you do a curbless shower on a slab foundation?

Yes. It requires cutting and re-sloping the slab to recess the shower pan, which we plan for at design and price into the proposal — it is not a surprise change order.

How long does a primary bathroom take?

Five to eight weeks on site for most primary baths, longer if we relocate plumbing walls or add a steam unit.

Do you remodel homes in Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch?

Yes. We regularly work throughout Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Firethorne, Grand Lakes, Seven Meadows, and older Katy neighborhoods, and we handle the HOA architectural submittal for exterior work.

How long does a Katy kitchen remodel take?

A typical full kitchen remodel runs 8–12 weeks on site after design and permitting, which usually adds 4–6 weeks up front. Structural changes or custom cabinetry lead times can extend that.
