Turning the big soaking tub nobody uses into the shower you actually want.

Most McKinney bathrooms are not old. The problem with them is a different one: a large tub taking up the best wall in the primary suite, filled a handful of times a year and stepped over every other day.
A tub-to-shower conversion pulls that tub out completely and puts a walk-in shower in its place, with a low or zero threshold and the safety details built in from the start.
From County Seat to One of the Biggest Cities in Collin County
McKinney has been the Collin County seat since the town was laid out in 1849, and it is named for Collin McKinney, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. For more than a century it grew slowly as the county's agricultural trading town. As late as 1990 it had 21,283 residents.
Then the suburbs arrived. McKinney passed 54,000 people in 2000, reached 131,117 in 2010, and counted 195,308 in the 2020 Census. The Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate puts it at more than 202,000, nearly ten times its 1990 size.
The housing tells the same story. The median McKinney home was built in 2006, and roughly two out of every three homes in the city went up between 2000 and 2019. Fewer than one in eight predates 1990, and only about 8% predates 1980. When a McKinney homeowner talks about an "old bathroom," they usually mean one that is fifteen or twenty years old.
Those 2000s and 2010s floor plans share a signature feature: an oversized garden or soaking tub in the primary bath, often on a raised tile deck, with a separate small shower beside it. In secondary bathrooms it is a fiberglass tub-shower combo. The garden tub is often the least-used fixture in the house, and its wide deck and tall side are an awkward thing to climb into when you are wet. The hall-bath combos have a different issue: they are the bathroom a visiting parent or grandparent ends up using, and a standard tub wall is the hardest part of it for them.
McKinney is a young city: about 10% of residents are 65 or older, well under the national share. For most households here, converting the tub is not about an immediate need. It is about reclaiming wasted space in a high-value home (the median is about $439,500) and making the primary bath one you can keep using comfortably for decades without another remodel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace the garden tub in my McKinney primary bathroom with a shower?
Yes. We remove the tub and its deck entirely and design a walk-in shower around the space, which is often large enough for a bench and a wide, low-threshold entry.
My McKinney home is only about 15 years old. Is a conversion still worth it?
Age is not really the question. If the tub goes unused and the shower beside it is cramped, a conversion gives you a much more usable bathroom. Building in grab-bar blocking and a low threshold now also means the room keeps working for you as your needs change.
Should I keep a tub somewhere in the house?
If you have young children or expect to sell to a family that does, keeping a tub in a secondary bathroom is sensible. If your McKinney home already has a tub-shower combo in a hall bath, converting only the primary suite keeps that option open.
Do I need a permit for a tub-to-shower conversion in McKinney?
It depends on the scope of the project. We confirm requirements with the City of McKinney for your specific project and handle any permitting needed.
