AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Broadview Park
Bathroom remodeling in Broadview Park typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the real cost driver here isn’t the tile you pick. It’s what we find when we open the walls on a 1960s CBS ranch home. Bathroom Remodeling in Broadview Park means working around rusted cast-iron drains under the slab, Federal Pacific panels that can’t handle a new pump, and groundwater that sits 18 inches below your floor. Tom Barrett and his sons have been sorting through exactly this since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the job with you, scope in writing, before anything gets swung.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Broadview Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
You won’t find a franchise van in your driveway when you work with us, and you won’t get a phone quote that turns into a door quote. Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck. Walk through Broadview Park and ask around. Ask anyone on your street. Ask them if the crew showed up when they said they would, or if the final bill matched the written scope. We’ve been operating that way since 1998 because the alternative gives our whole trade a bad name.
Every Broadview Park bathroom job starts the same way: we look at the whole house, not the room in isolation. That means checking the electrical panel before we promise a steam shower. Checking the slab drain before we quote a tub-to-shower conversion. Checking whether those jalousie windows in the bath need to go impact-rated before you trade a tub for a walk-in. It’s a slower first conversation, but it’s why our customers don’t get surprise change orders at rough-in.
And when something isn’t right after we’re done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract, not implied. One call brings Tom back. I live twenty minutes away; if something’s wrong, I want to know about it.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Broadview Park
Walk-In Shower Installation
A walk-in shower in a Broadview Park ranch home usually means one of two things: you’re aging in place and want a curbless entry, or you’re done scrubbing a tub you never use. Both are smart. But the prep is where we earn our keep. The original 1955-1975 concrete slab under your bathroom wasn’t pitched for a curbless shower pan, and the groundwater under it wants to wick up through that slab into your backer board. We isolate the pan on a proper membrane, seal the tub-to-tile joint with marine-rated sealant, and spec a Schluter drain assembly that won’t let slab moisture rot the framing within five years. Walk-in shower installation in Broadview Park typically runs $4,500 to $12,000, and that’s with the dewatering and moisture isolation figured in up front, not as a change order later.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the most common remodel we do in Broadview Park, and for a simple reason: the cast-iron tub drains under these 1960s slabs have a 60-year lifespan, and they’re past it. That rusted-through drain isn’t visible until you pull the tub, which means a straightforward conversion sometimes opens into a slab cut and PVC re-route. We budget for it in the written draw schedule, so it’s a change order written on paper before the first hammer swings, not a surprise at the end. Most tub-to-shower conversions in Broadview Park run $3,500 to $10,000, depending on whether the old cast-iron trap needs replacing at the slab.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut in Broadview Park isn’t a cosmetic job. It’s a repair job that happens to include tile. We take the room down to studs and slab, replace the galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that are on borrowed time, evaluate the panel for a dedicated circuit if you want a whirlpool or steam unit, and then rebuild with materials that hold up to Broward County humidity. Schluter waterproofing on every shower wall. Sterling and Grohe fixtures you can look up by name. A full bathroom remodel in Broadview Park runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the spread is mostly about what we find behind the walls, not what you pick for the floor.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the room’s fine and the vanity’s shot. We still check what’s under it. The original cast-iron trap on a 1965 home can crumble the second we loosen the slip nut, and a $1,500 vanity swap becomes a small slab repair. We carry that conversation to you in writing before we touch it. Vanity installation in Broadview Park typically runs $800 to $3,000, tile and fixture work scaled accordingly. You’ll know the number before we start, and it’ll be the same number when we’re done.

Trusted Brands We Service in Broadview Park
We install Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling and Grohe fixtures because we can stand behind them, and because when something fails ten years from now, you can call the manufacturer and the part still exists. There’s a reason we don’t put mystery-brand fixtures off a van into a Broadview Park bathroom: the humidity here chews through cheap pot-metal faucets in five years, and you won’t find the replacement cartridge when you need it. We stock common repair parts locally for the brands we install, which means when a Grohe cartridge wears out, you’re not waiting two weeks for a mail-order part. The price difference between a real brand and whatever the big-box store has on an end cap is maybe a hundred dollars. Over the life of a Broadview Park bathroom, it’s the best hundred dollars you’ll spend.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Broadview Park Homes
These aren’t worst-case scenarios. These are the things we write into scopes every single week in Broadview Park because we’ve seen them enough times to know they’re coming.
- Rusted cast-iron or galvanized drain lines under the slab. The original plumbing on a 1963 CBS ranch has a finite life, and it’s up. A vanity swap or tub replacement that exposes the old trap often means a slab cut and PVC re-route. We’d rather tell you in the written draw schedule than show you at the rough-in walk.
- Groundwater wicking through the slab into backer board. The water table under Broadview Park sits 18 to 24 inches below the slab. A shower pan that isn’t isolated from that slab moisture will push moisture up into your tile substrate, and within five years you’ll see grout cracking, tile lippage, and mold behind the wall. We isolate the pan, seal the seams, and specify marine-rated sealant at the tub-to-tile joint.
- Federal Pacific Stab-Lok electrical panels. Still common in 1950s and 1960s Broadview Park homes. These breakers have a well-documented failure-to-trip problem, and a new whirlpool tub or steam shower with a dedicated pump will arc or worse on a panel that should have been replaced twenty years ago. We won’t back-feed a pump without a dedicated circuit, and if the panel’s an FP, a subpanel upgrade goes in the scope before rough-in inspection.
- Jalousie bathroom windows that can’t go impact-rated. The louvered glass is original to many of these homes, and you can’t make it meet current Broward wind-load code. If your remodel touches that window, the inspector will flag it. We handle the impact replacement as part of the bathroom scope so you’re not chasing a separate permit later.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Broadview Park
Yes, replacing a jalousie bathroom window with an approved impact unit in Broadview Park requires a Broward County permit, and yes, it becomes part of your bathroom remodel inspection scope. The county inspector will check the rough-in, and if the jalousie is still there when the bathroom is getting finaled, it gets flagged. We pull the window permit alongside the bathroom permit so both close together and you’re not left with an open permit on the property. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on the combined scope; estimates are free.
It may. Many original cast-iron traps under Broadview Park slabs have rusted through or are minutes from it, and once the old tub or vanity comes out, the exposed drain line often needs a PVC re-route that involves cutting the slab. We write that possibility into the draw schedule as a line item with a defined trigger, so if we hit it, the cost was already documented. You pay for what actually happens, not what a worst-case estimator guessed. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll assess your specific drains before the quote is final.
Groundwater is the main reason. Broadview Park sits on the shallow coastal flatlands of Broward County, and in the wet season the water table can be 18 inches below the slab. A curbless or low-curb shower pan here needs more membrane isolation, different drain detailing, and marine-rated sealant than a comparable job on drier inland soil in Davie where the water table is deeper. We also see more original cast-iron drain failures under Broadview Park slabs than in newer Davie stock, so the slab-cut contingency is more often triggered here. Call (877) 610-1318 to get the Broadview Park-specific number.
We include them as line items in the written scope, not as an open allowance. Permit fees, inspection fees, and any county-required engineering reports are listed up front so you know the total before the first nail moves. If the county requires an extra inspection or a revised drawing, you get a written change order before the work proceeds, and the final bill matches the paper trail. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through exactly what the county charges for your specific scope.
The two we see again and again are the tub-to-tile joint seal and the shower pan drainage at the slab. Both get flagged by Broward County inspectors on older CBS homes because they know the ground moisture here is unforgiving. We fix both before the final inspection when we see them, and if anything surfaces after you move back in, the 90-Day Done Right Promise covers it in writing. One call brings Tom back. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate and we’ll show you exactly what goes in your written punch list.
