We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owned and operated by Tom Barrett since 1998. We don’t quote a number over the phone and change it at your front door.

We answer the phone live, 24 hours a day, and we stand behind what’s in writing with a 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Immokalee’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Most of the homes in Immokalee were built to a different codebook than the rest of Collier County. Manufactured homes and older mobile units predate the 1994 post-Hurricane Andrew wind standards, and we know what that means when we open a bathroom wall: undersized framing, outdated panels, plumbing that’s been patched too many times. Our Bathroom Remodeling crews have opened enough of these walls near Lake Trafford Road and out past the packinghouses to tell you what’s coming before the drywall comes down.
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. His sons run the crews, and background-checked crew members show up uniformed on every visit. We pull permits on every eligible job and coordinate inspections with Collier County, because in Immokalee the inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Immokalee
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in Immokalee almost never stays a cosmetic job. You peel back the vinyl flooring and find rot from years of slow leaks moving under the subfloor. We scope that from the first walkthrough: moisture check, joist inspection, the works. When you’re left with a gutted room, we sequence framing, plumbing rough-in, and electrical before any tile goes up, and every step gets a signed inspection.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade we see in Immokalee, especially in homes where the tub is thirty years old and the family’s needs have changed. The catch: pre-1994 framing was never designed to carry modern tile weight. We check load paths before we spec anything, so the shower you get doesn’t sag or crack two years later.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions in Immokalee’s older manufactured homes usually cost $3,500-$10,000, but the real question is what the drain transition looks like once the tub skirt comes off. Shallow floor joists and tight drain rough-ins are common. We handle the plumbing upgrade, the waterproofing, and the Collier County sign-off as one written scope, not as a surprise mid-job.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
From prefab vanities to custom cabinet builds, we carry brands you can look up, not mystery stock off a van. Tile work starts with a level, waterproof substrate, because in a humid climate like Immokalee’s, the substrate matters more than the tile pattern. We install vanities, tile, and fixtures, and we bring the subfloor and supply lines up to code while we’re in there.

Trusted Brands We Service in Immokalee
We don’t install material we wouldn’t put in our own homes. KraftMaid vanities and cabinets, Cambria and other premium countertop lines, and framing and waterproofing products chosen for South Florida’s humidity and storm codes. We keep a running stock of the common rebuild parts for Immokalee’s manufactured homes, so you’re not waiting two weeks on a shower valve while the bathroom sits gutted. Our suppliers deliver to Immokalee twice a week, and we stage material on-site before demolition starts so there’s no gap between tear-out and rebuild.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Immokalee Homes
- Undersized framing behind the tub surround. Pre-1994 manufactured homes were never designed for the weight of modern tile showers. We add load-bearing headers before we hang a single tile.
- 60-amp electrical panels with no room for GFCI circuits. Code requires GFCI protection in bathrooms, but many older Immokalee homes need a panel upgrade first. We write that into the scope, not whisper it after the walls are open.
- Rotted subfloors under old fiberglass surrounds. Years of slow plumbing leaks go unnoticed until the tub skirt comes off. We replace subfloor with pressure-treated plywood and re-anchor the framing before refinishing.
- Dual-inspection requirements on farmworker housing. Labor camp bathrooms must pass both Collier County building inspections and Florida Department of Health agricultural labor camp checks. We sequence the work around both agencies so the permit isn’t held up by a missed appointment.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Immokalee, FL
Here’s what we quote in Immokalee, in writing, before demolition starts:
| Service | Price Range in Immokalee |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000-$28,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500-$12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500-$10,000 |
Why the spread? A gut-and-replace on a 1990 doublewide with subfloor rot and a panel upgrade lands at the top of the range. A tub-to-shower swap with clean framing and an existing GFCI circuit sits at the bottom. The price moves when we find what was already failing behind the walls, and every movement arrives as a written change order before the work happens, not as a line item on a final invoice. You’ll also get our $40 Off Any Repair Over $200 and the permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount applied where they qualify.

How Older Immokalee Homes Change a Bathroom Remodel Scope
Here’s what we’ve learned doing Bathroom Remodeling in Immokalee in manufactured homes built before Hurricane Andrew changed Florida’s building code in 1994. Opening a wall in one of these homes is not like opening a wall in a 2010 Naples townhouse. The studs are often 2x4s spaced wider than modern code allows. The tub surround is screwed to drywall that was never rated for wet areas. There are no hurricane straps connecting the wall plates to the floor. The electrical panel is a 60-amp unit feeding a whole house that now needs GFCI protection in the bathroom. So when you open that wall to hang heavier tile or install a walk-in shower, the code triggers upgrade requirements that weren’t part of the original quote. That’s not a contractor padding a bill. That’s Collier County enforcing wind-load and habitability standards on a structure that predates them.
We handle it by doing a full inspection before the contract is signed. We look at the panel, the joists, the tie-downs, the water lines. If we expect those older conditions based on the home’s age and type, we write allowances into the contract, not vague promises. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. And we have the paperwork conversation before the first nail moves, so you know exactly what a change order will look like and how it gets approved in writing.
One of our crews was working on a 1980s mobile home near Lake Trafford Road. We pulled the fiberglass tub surround and found the subfloor had quietly rotted out from years of slow plumbing leaks, and the wall framing was undersized for the new shower’s weight. We wrote a change order for the load-bearing reinforcement, replaced the subfloor with pressure-treated plywood, and ran the plumbing rough-in through Collier County inspection sign-off before closing the walls. Total added scope: two days and a written line-item you could point to. That’s how it should work.
What Farmworker Labor Camp Bathrooms Involve
Immokalee is Florida’s tomato-growing capital, and its farmworker labor camp housing runs on a dual regulatory track most Collier County contractors never see anywhere else. Florida Department of Health agricultural labor camp inspectors sign off on habitability, sanitation, and water supply, while Collier County building officials handle structural and plumbing permits. If we skip the DOH inspection sequence, the final permit gets held until a second pass. So we schedule both agencies’ inspections in the right order from the start. It extends the calendar a bit, but it means your permit closes clean the first time, not after a correction cycle.
That same farm economy created the housing stock problem Immokalee lives with. Homes built before the 1994 code overhaul are common, and many have never had hurricane straps retrofitted. Irma’s eye tracked directly over Immokalee in 2017 and exposed exactly how many structures lacked impact-rated openings and compliant tie-downs. A bathroom remodel in that housing stock is often the first time anyone has actually opened the walls to see what’s holding the place together.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Immokalee
Yes, and the permit triggers code upgrades that don’t apply to newer homes. A bathroom remodel in a pre-1994 manufactured home must meet current wind-load, electrical, and habitability standards once the walls are open, which often means adding hurricane straps, upgrading a 60-amp panel, and adding GFCI protection. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and write any code-triggered scope into the contract before demolition starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your specific home is likely to require.
We stop, photograph it, write a change order, and get your signature before we do anything else. The rotten subfloor gets replaced with pressure-treated plywood; the mold gets remediated to code; the framing gets sistered or replaced as the load requires. You’ll know the cost before the work happens, not after. That’s the point of the written change order, and it’s why we don’t bury surprises in a final invoice.
Labor camp bathrooms must pass both Collier County building inspections and Florida Department of Health agricultural labor camp inspections, covering sanitation, water supply, and habitability. Most contractors in Collier County never touch that dual track. We sequence both inspections so the final permit closes without a correction cycle, and we schedule them out at the start so the timeline is realistic from day one.
Yes, and it’s one of our most common jobs in Immokalee. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500-$12,000 here, and tub-to-shower conversion $3,500-$10,000. The structural question is whether your framing and subfloor can carry the new tile and shower weight. We inspect first, reinforce where needed, and write any framing work into the contract, so the price you sign is the price you pay. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free in-home assessment.
Because Immokalee’s housing stock is older and more likely to need code-triggered upgrades. A Naples home built after 1994 already has hurricane straps, a 200-amp panel, and moisture-rated framing. A 1980s manufactured home in Immokalee often needs all three, and that scope shows up in the quote. If a competing bid is lower, ask whether it includes the permit, the panel upgrade, and the framing inspection. Then bring it to us for a free second opinion.
