North Richland Hills is a straight shot across Loop 820 from our northwest Fort Worth shop — about fourteen miles, twenty minutes, same county. Serving Fort Worth since 2001 (Salvation Home Remodeling LLC established 2017), we run our own W-2 crew, and NRH is squarely in the middle of our service map. It’s also one of the most predictable places we work, in a good way: six of every ten homes here went up between 1970 and 1999, which means when we walk into an NRH bathroom, we usually know what’s behind the tile before the first hammer swings. Here’s what that means for your remodel — and what nobody with a one-day acrylic liner is going to tell you.

Serving North Richland Hills
Every one of these shows up on North Richland Hills estimates again and again — here’s how we handle each.
If your master bath has a big corner garden tub nobody’s filled since the kids were small, you own the signature NRH remodel. Those tubs eat roughly twenty-five square feet of floor and hold about ninety-six gallons — and in neighborhoods like Meadow Lakes, Forest Glenn, and the streets around Iron Horse, they were standard issue. Most of our NRH clients trade the tub for a large custom walk-in shower and get a bathroom that finally matches how they actually live. Here’s how a tub-to-shower conversion works step by step.
The Smithfield area joined NRH back in 1958, and homes there — and in the other pre-1980 pockets — often still drain through original cast iron that’s gone rough and narrow inside. Moving a shower or relocating a drain can expose it. We look for it up front and price the what-if honestly, so it’s a line item you’ve already talked about instead of a phone call on demo day.
Most of NRH sits on the expansive clay this part of Tarrant County is famous for — soil that swells when it’s wet and shrinks hard in August. Slabs move with it, and rigid tile shows it first: cracked grout lines, a hollow-sounding floor, a hairline through the middle of a tile. We build NRH showers and floors on decoupling membranes and properly prepared substrate so the finish work can survive the soil it lives on.
NRH water comes from Fort Worth and Trinity River Authority supplies — lake water that runs hard. On a daily basis that means spotting on glass and polished chrome. We spec brushed finishes, coated shower glass, and tile layouts with fewer grout lines for exactly this reason. It’s a small design decision that decides how your bathroom looks on a random Tuesday three years from now.
The City of North Richland Hills is clear: remodeling work requires a permit, plumbing and electrical work runs through state-licensed plumbers and electricians, and contractors register with the city — all managed through the city’s online permit portal at the Building Inspection Department on City Point Drive. We’re registered, insured, and we handle the permits and inspections as part of every job. Texas has no statewide general-contractor license; city registration and inspection is how accountability works here, and we’re glad to walk you through ours.
Our bathroom remodeling services in North Richland Hills typically include:
Every remodel is customized to your home, budget, and long-term needs — no cookie-cutter solutions.
Our full bathroom remodels typically run $25,000 to $45,000. The drivers are the same ones we walk every client through: whether plumbing stays put or moves, how much custom tile you want, fixture and vanity selections, and the condition of what we uncover — in pre-1980 NRH homes, drain lines are the honest wildcard. That number buys a permitted, inspected, fully rebuilt bathroom with real tile and real trades, which is a different product than a glued liner installed over your old tub in a day. Both have their place; we only build one of them.

North Richland Hills has bathrooms from every decade since the city’s postwar buildout, which means no two projects start from the same place. In family neighborhoods like Hometown and the areas off Davis Boulevard, the common requests are bigger showers, double vanities, and storage that keeps the counters clear. Closer to historic Smithfield, which joined the city around 1960, the housing is older and the work often goes deeper: supply lines, drains, and subfloors that need attention before any tile goes down.
We scope each bathroom for what it is rather than applying one template, and we build every shower as a waterproofing system, substrate to sealant. If you are in North Richland Hills and the bathroom has been on the list for a while, we will walk it with you, explain the options, and put real numbers to a defined scope.
A 5.0-star average across 120 Google reviews, two decades-plus working these exact decades of housing, and a crew that’s ours rather than whoever answered a text this morning.

Working with Chris Sibley at Salvation Home Remodeling has been a fantastic experience. His promptness, meticulous attention to detail, and dedication to delivering top-quality work truly set him apart. I trust him wholeheartedly for all my remodeling projects!
I highly recommend Christopher as a contractor! His communication was excellent, ensuring I was informed throughout the project. Christopher’s attention to detail was impressive, and he maintained a clean workspace. I am extremely satisfied with the results and would gladly recommend him to friends and family. Five stars!
I cannot express enough how satisfied I am with the services provided by Salvation Home Remodeling. We recently lost an elderly family member whose home, built in the 1980s, had never undergone any renovations. The interior was dark and incredibly outdated with wood paneling, and to top it off the previous owner was a heavy smoker. However, after the complete remodeling done by Chris and his team, the house looks brand new. The transformation is remarkable, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of any type of home renovation project, no matter how small or large!
Probably. Much of North Richland Hills was built from the 1960s through the 1990s, and original bathrooms from that era are reaching the age where shower pans, valves, and seals wear out, right as the oversized garden tub stops earning its floor space. A remodel fixes the worn parts and reworks the layout for how you live now.
Construction permits in North Richland Hills are issued by the city’s Building Inspections division at City Hall on City Point Drive, and applications go through the city’s online e-portal. Not every bathroom project needs a permit, but plumbing, electrical, and structural changes typically do. When yours does, we coordinate it and plan the schedule around inspections.
Yes. That’s the most common layout change we make in homes from this building era. Pulling an unused garden tub frees up a surprising amount of room for a large walk-in shower, and often a freestanding tub still fits if you want one. We rebuild the plumbing and waterproofing correctly while the walls are open.
Almost always, that’s a waterproofing failure: water getting behind the tile through skipped membrane steps, bad slope, or unsealed penetrations. Cosmetic regrouting won’t fix it. The right repair opens the wall, replaces damaged substrate, and rebuilds the wet area as a proper waterproofed system. We’ll tell you honestly how far the damage goes before quoting the fix.
Simple and direct. We walk the space and talk through your goals, then provide a clear scope-based estimate with no vague allowances. Once you approve, we order materials, schedule the crew, and work the plan: demolition, rough-in, inspections where required, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and final details. You deal with the owner the whole way through.
Tell us what you want to change—and we’ll help you clarify the best path, the right materials, and a realistic budget and schedule.
