Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Lewisville, TX
A 1990s bathtub is reaching the end of its first life, which makes now a good time to replace it with a shower.

A lot of Lewisville bathrooms are about thirty years old, which is roughly when an original tub and surround start telling you they are done: stains that will not lift, caulk that keeps separating, a finish that has gone dull.
That is a natural moment to skip the replacement tub and convert instead. We remove the bathtub completely and install a walk-in shower with a low threshold and safety features built in.
How a Lake and a Freeway Built Lewisville's Neighborhoods
Lewisville began as Hallford Prairie in 1844 and took its current name after Basdeal W. Lewis bought the Hallford land in 1853. The Dallas and Wichita Railway arrived in 1881, but the town was still under 1,600 people in 1950.
What changed Lewisville was infrastructure. In 1948 the Army Corps of Engineers began building the Garza-Little Elm dam, and the reservoir behind it, now Lewisville Lake, started filling in 1954 and eventually covered almost a fifth of Denton County. Interstate 35E and DFW Airport followed. The population went from 9,264 in 1970 to 46,521 in 1990 and 77,737 in 2000, and it was 112,944 at the 2020 Census.
The building boom peaked in the 1990s, the single biggest decade for housing in the city according to Census estimates, and about two-thirds of Lewisville homes were built in 1990 or later. The median home dates to 1996. Fewer than 15% of homes in the city predate 1980, so the classic tiled-in steel tub is the exception here rather than the rule.
That puts a large share of Lewisville bathrooms right at the thirty-year mark. Homes from the 1990s were typically finished with a fiberglass or acrylic tub-shower combo in the hall bath, and many larger plans added a garden tub in the primary suite. Those fixtures were not built to last forever, and a homeowner replacing one has to decide whether another tub is really what they want. In a lot of households the honest answer is no: the hall tub mostly holds a shower curtain, and the garden tub gets filled a few times a year.
Lewisville is a young city: fewer than 10% of residents are 65 or older, well below the national share. So the argument for converting here is less about today and more about the next twenty years. If the tub has to come out anyway, a low-threshold shower with grab-bar blocking already in the walls is a bathroom that will still work if your knees, your back, or your household change.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Lewisville home was built in the 1990s. Is it too early to convert the tub?
Not if the tub is wearing out or rarely gets used. A bathroom of that age is often due for an update anyway, and building the shower with a low threshold and grab-bar blocking now saves a second remodel later.
Can you convert the garden tub in my Lewisville primary bath?
Yes. We remove the tub and any surrounding deck completely and design the shower to fit the space, which often leaves room for a wider entry or a bench. We look at the layout during a free in-home assessment before recommending anything.
How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?
Most are completed in about two days. We give you the timeline for your specific bathroom after the in-home assessment.
Will I need a permit from the City of Lewisville?
It depends on the scope of the project. We confirm requirements with the City of Lewisville for your specific project and handle any permitting needed.
