How is a Walk-In Shower Better Than Other Options?
You definitely have options when it comes to your bathroom remodel, and you need to allocate your budget properly and make sure you invest your money wisely. You want to make sure you get maximum enjoyment out of your shower, but also maximize your ROI relative relative to resale. Here are some compelling reasons why walk-in showers are the ultimate choice for discerning homeowners like you:
Walk in showers are all the rage now, and here are a few of the reasons:
1.Walk-In Showers are Spacious Yet Space-Saving:
One of the main advantages of walk-in showers is because they can not only make good use of a small space, but they are actually the preferred choice. Most of the
time, when you are maximizing space, whatever our solution you choose still feels cramped. Not so with Walk-In Showers. This bathroom remodel option will maximize space but actually makes for a far more spacious showering area. Even in smaller bathrooms, walk-in showers can create a more open feel because you don’t have to dedicate extra wall space to the shower walls, which makes your bathroom feel larger and more inviting.
2. Walk-In Showers Are Far More Accessible for ADA and Handicap Concerns
If you’re looking to age in place, help an older loved one do so, or simply value convenience, walk-in showers offer more accessibility than other options. With no bulky thresholds to step over, these showers are perfect for individuals of all ages and abilities, and give them and you a far more safe and comfortable bathing experience. Talk to one of our friendly designers about installing grab bars and other safe options.

Walk-In Showers in Highland Village: What Makes This Market Different
Highland Village sits between Flower Mound and Lewisville on Lake Lewisville—a community with established neighborhoods, strong schools, and homeowners who have typically lived in their homes for 10–20 years. That longevity matters for walk-in shower projects.
Unlike newer-build communities where everything is fresh, Highland Village bathrooms often need more than just a cosmetic update. Tile surrounds from the late 1990s and early 2000s have seen years of DFW hard water, and the substrate behind them has sometimes seen moisture. Before a single new tile goes on the wall, we do a proper assessment and make sure the waterproofing is right.
Highland Village homeowners also tend to plan for the long term. Many are updating their primary bath with aging-in-place features in mind—a zero-threshold entry, a built-in bench, grab bar blocking in the walls—alongside the aesthetic upgrades. We design for both.
Walk-In Shower Costs in Highland Village
Highland Village remodeling costs track closely to the broader North DFW market. Walk-in shower projects here typically run:
| Project Type | Typical Highland Village Range |
|---|---|
| Tub-to-shower conversion (standard, tile surround) | $5,500–$12,000 |
| Walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure | $8,000–$18,000 |
| Walk-in shower with zero-threshold and bench (accessible design) | $9,000–$16,000 |
| Full primary bath remodel including walk-in shower | $18,000–$38,000 |
These ranges reflect Highland Village’s mix of mid-range and upper-mid-range homes. Homes in Harbor View Estates, Lake Country Estates, and Chinn Chapel area neighborhoods tend toward the upper end. Homes in the older sections of Highland Village and closer to FM 2499 often come in near the mid-range.
Aging-in-Place Walk-In Showers: A Growing Priority in Highland Village
A significant portion of the walk-in shower projects we complete in Highland Village include aging-in-place features. These are smart additions regardless of your current age—they add safety, increase usability, and do not negatively affect resale in this market.
Features we commonly add in Highland Village primary baths:
- Zero-threshold shower entry (no curb to step over, also called a barrier-free or roll-in shower)
- Built-in teak or tile bench for seated showering
- Grab bar blocking in walls during construction (allows grab bars to be added later without opening walls)
- Handheld showerhead on a slide bar (usable from standing or seated position)
- Anti-scald thermostatic valve for temperature control
- Non-slip tile on the floor rather than high-gloss finishes
Adding these features during a walk-in shower remodel costs relatively little ($500–$2,000 more than a standard conversion) and can prevent the much larger cost of retrofitting later.
What to Expect from the Existing Tile in a Highland Village Home
Most shower surrounds in Highland Village homes from the 1990s and early 2000s were installed with 4×4 ceramic tile over cement board. After 20–30 years of use, the grout is often cracked or missing, caulk joints are failing, and in some cases the tile is loose or hollow-sounding.
When we demo a shower like this, we go back to the studs and install a full waterproofing membrane before any new tile goes up. This is not a step you can skip. A shower that leaks slowly behind the wall can cause $15,000–$30,000 in structural damage before anyone notices. We would rather spend an extra day doing waterproofing right than have a callback six months later.
Highland Village Walk-In Shower FAQ
How long does a walk-in shower conversion take in Highland Village?
A standard tub-to-shower conversion in Highland Village takes 1–2 weeks for installation. If the project includes a frameless glass enclosure, add 3–5 weeks for glass fabrication lead time. Total project time from contract signing to completion is typically 5–8 weeks.
Does Modern Blu serve all of Highland Village?
Yes. We serve the entire city of Highland Village including Harbor View Estates, Lake Country Estates, Lakeview Estates, Briar Hill Estates, McPherson Ranch, and all surrounding neighborhoods. We also serve homeowners on the Flower Mound and Lewisville borders of Highland Village.
Can I add a walk-in shower and keep a soaking tub in my primary bath?
Absolutely. Many Highland Village primary baths are large enough to accommodate both. If the existing layout has a tub-shower combo, we can convert it to a dedicated walk-in shower and add a freestanding soaking tub in the open space if there is room. This is the most popular primary bath configuration we build in Highland Village right now.
What permits are required for a walk-in shower in Highland Village?
Any plumbing modification in Highland Village (drain relocation, new shower valve, reconfiguring supply lines) requires a City of Highland Village permit. Modern Blu handles all permit applications for applicable projects.
