Bathroom Remodeling Farragut
Farragut began as a fort and stagecoach stop on the road west. Admiral David Farragut was born nearby in 1801, and the town took his name. The brick Campbell’s Station Inn still stands on Kingston Pike, within sight of Town Hall.
Residents voted to incorporate to avoid annexation by Knoxville. Today about 23,500 people live here. Farragut High School sits at the center of town life.

What Do Farragut Primary Baths Need Most?
- Garden tub out, real shower in. That corner tub takes up the best floor in the room. See walk-in shower remodeling.
- One tub kept somewhere. If you have small kids or plan to sell, we often keep a tub in the hall bath. See tub remodeling.
- A vanity built for two. Double sinks, drawers that close softly and a quartz top.
- Light you can work in. Layered lighting, a lit mirror and a quiet fan.
Do You Need a Permit to Remodel a Bathroom in Farragut?
The Town of Farragut runs its own Codes Department, separate from Knoxville. Here is how its rules break down for common work.
| Work | Permit in Farragut? |
|---|---|
| Paint, tile, cabinets, countertops | No |
| Replacing a water heater | Yes |
| Moving plumbing or adding circuits | Ask Codes first |
| Work started without a needed permit | Stopped until permits are in place |

Bathroom Remodeling Concord
James Rodgers laid out Concord’s first 55 lots and named the town for a nearby church. The railroad brought growth, and Tennessee marble made Concord busy. When Fort Loudoun Lake filled, the water covered about a third of the old town.
You can still see a marble crusher’s foundation at Rocky Point in Concord Park. The old village is now a 40-acre district on the National Register of Historic Places.

Who Handles Permits in Concord?
Concord is unincorporated. Permits go through Knox County Codes Administration, not Farragut or Knoxville. We confirm the right office for your address before we price the job.
What Do Concord Bathrooms Need?
- Old village homes. Careful demo, plumbing checks and finishes that suit the house.
- Lake homes. Strong ventilation and full waterproofing behind the tile.
- Newer subdivisions. Builder-grade baths ready for a real upgrade.

What Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Farragut?
Bathroom remodeling cost in Farragut runs on the same Knoxville labor market, but the projects run bigger. Primary baths here are larger, and owners often choose custom glass and tile.
How Much of the Cost Comes Back at Resale?
Share of cost recouped at resale, Knoxville
| Remodel level | Knoxville job cost | Share of a $525,000 Farragut home |
|---|---|---|
| Midrange | $22,592 | About 4.3% |
| Universal design (accessible) | $36,066 | About 6.9% |
| Upscale | $73,142 | About 13.9% |
Costs and resale: JLC Cost vs. Value 2025, Knoxville figures. Home value: ZIP 37922 and 37934 medians, rounded. Shares are our math.
Is an Upscale Bathroom Worth It in Farragut?
Home values here can carry it. Resale cannot. Upscale finishes return less than half their cost, so go upscale for how you live, not for a buyer. Universal design is the sleeper pick: it returns almost as much as midrange and makes the room safer for decades.
What Pushes a Farragut Bathroom Price Up?
- Moving the drain when a garden tub becomes a shower.
- Custom frameless glass sized to the opening.
- Large-format tile that needs a flat, true wall.
- Heated floors, which need their own circuit.
Want your own number? We price it in writing, free.
Planning to Stay in Farragut for Good?
The median age in ZIP 37934 is 45.4, and most owners stay put. That makes aging in place a smart part of any Farragut bathroom remodel, even if you do not need it yet.
| Feature | Why it matters later | Best time to add it |
|---|---|---|
| Low-curb or curbless shower | No step to trip over | During any shower rebuild |
| Grab bar blocking | Bars go up any time, no wall repair | Before the tile goes on |
| Comfort-height toilet | Easier to sit and stand | Any toilet swap |
| Handheld showerhead on a slide bar | Seated showers and easy cleaning | With the new valve |
| Slip-resistant floor tile | Safer when wet | With any floor change |
About 49% of renovating homeowners nationwide are enlarging their shower, per Pro Builder’s report on a 2026 homeowner survey. More on planning ahead: accessible bathroom remodeling.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Farragut
What areas do you serve around Farragut?
We serve Farragut, Concord and nearby West Knox County, ZIP codes 37922 and 37934.
Do you give free in-home estimates in Farragut and Concord?
Yes. We come to your home, measure, check the drains and valves and price the job in writing at no cost.
Can you work around the Fourth of July parade?
Yes. Tell us your dates. We plan deliveries around the Kingston Pike closure and finish before family arrives.
Do Farragut and Concord have different permit offices?
Yes. Farragut has its own Codes Department. Concord is unincorporated, so Knox County Codes Administration handles it.
Do you install heated bathroom floors?
Yes. Most heated floor mats need their own electrical circuit and an electrical permit. We plan the circuit before the tile goes down.
How long does a primary bathroom remodel take in Farragut?
Most take one to three weeks on site once materials arrive. Custom glass is measured after tile, so it can add a short wait at the end.
Can you replace a garden tub with a walk-in shower?
Usually, yes. Corner garden tubs from the 1990s leave plenty of room for a large shower. The drain often has to move, which we price on its own line.
Do I need HOA approval for an interior bathroom remodel?
Usually not for the work inside your home. Many HOAs still set rules for work hours, trucks and dumpsters. Check your documents before the job starts.
Should I keep a tub if I plan to sell?
Many owners keep at least one tub in the house, often in the hall bath, for buyers with young kids. The primary bath can still get a large walk-in shower.
Is a curbless shower possible in a Farragut home?
Often, yes. The floor under the shower has to be lowered or built up around it so water flows to the drain. It costs more than a low curb, so we price both.
