AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across McGregor
Bathroom remodeling in McGregor, FL typically lands between $9,000 and $28,000 for a full gut-and-replace, with walk-in shower installations running $4,500 to $12,000 and tub-to-shower conversions starting around $3,500. We schedule estimates across the 33919 zip within a few business days, and Tom Barrett or one of his sons walks the job personally before any number goes on paper. If you’re weighing a remodel on a 1950s ranch or a McGregor Boulevard cottage, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer on scope and cost.
We’ve worked the tight lots between Winkler Road and the Caloosahatchee for long enough to know what hides behind original jalousie windows and decades-old slab rough-ins. That local knowledge changes how we quote, how we stage, and how we keep your neighbors on good terms while the saws run.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is McGregor’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and the name on the truck is the name that shows up. Tom Barrett lives close enough to McGregor that he’s not dispatching strangers from some other county. His sons run the crews. When you call, a live person answers at (877) 610-1318, and when there’s a question about your change order, the person you talk to has actually been inside your bathroom.
McGregor homeowners have a particular reason to check who they’re hiring. Post-Ian work brought a flood of out-of-town contractors through Lee County, and a lot of those trucks are gone now. We’re not one of them. Our Bathroom Remodeling team still works the same neighborhoods year after year, and our repair-and-remodel crews know how Lee County’s permitting system actually moves in the 33919 corridor. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything.
Every McGregor job comes with the same written conditions, no exceptions. Permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible scope. Change orders in writing before any work changes hands. And the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on every contract: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in McGregor
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in a 1960s McGregor ranch often means more than tile and a vanity. We open the walls, check for storm-surge moisture or brackish-water corrosion, and replace what failed before we close anything up. Every full remodel gets permits pulled, rough-in inspections signed, and a written change order the moment we find something the original quote didn’t include.
Walk-In Shower Installation & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade we see in McGregor’s 33919 homes, especially where slab-on-grade floors make a curbless entry practical and a grab-bar layout easier on aging knees. Installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on waterproofing scope and whether we’re pulling a tired fiberglass insert or tiling from scratch. We plan waterproofing for Florida’s humidity – full membrane behind the tile, not paint-on hope.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower in a small McGregor bath runs $3,500 to $10,000. The biggest variable is what we find under the slab when the tub comes out. In homes that took Ian surge, the original cast-iron waste line is often the weak link, and that changes the scope in writing before we proceed.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000 in McGregor, and we install named brands you can look up, not mystery boxes off a van. Tile and fixture work gets quoted line-item so you know where every dollar goes. We stock common parts locally for the 33919 corridor, which keeps turnaround tighter than waiting on a drop-ship from a warehouse 800 miles away.

Trusted Brands We Service in McGregor
We carry and install materials from manufacturers whose warranties actually hold up in Florida’s humidity, including Cambridge Pavers for curbless-shower transitions and related hardscape detail work. For bathroom work specifically, we lean on proven waterproofing systems and fixtures named in your written scope before we order. If you want a specific brand in your McGregor remodel, tell us at estimate time and we’ll price it accurately rather than swapping in a lookalike mid-job.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in McGregor Homes
- Brackish-water corrosion on original cast-iron drains. Hurricane Ian pushed several feet of surge through first floors along the Caloosahatchee corridor, and cast-iron waste lines that sat in that brackish water are corroding from the inside. A routine tub-to-shower conversion can turn into a full waste-line replacement once the slab is open.
- Mold and rot behind original tile from years of humidity. McGregor’s subtropical climate pushes moisture through walls that were never built to breathe. We routinely find rotted subfloor and mold behind tile that looked fine from the outside, especially in slab-on-grade ranches that never got proper flood-vent detailing.
- Substantial-improvement triggers on ground-floor remodels. If your home is in a FEMA AE flood zone and your renovation costs exceed 50% of the pre-storm assessed value, Lee County can require full elevation to current BFE. We flag this before you pick a tile, because discovering it mid-permit is a budget killer.
- Tight lots and shared-wall permits. Many McGregor homes sit close enough to the property line that dumpster placement, work-hour noise, and party-wall notice all matter. A bathroom remodel that ignores your neighbor’s bedroom wall is a remodel that ends in a call to the county. We manage the site like we live on the street, because Tom does.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in McGregor
Yes, that can happen, and it’s the single most expensive tripwire in the 33919 zip. Lee County’s substantial-improvement rule applies to flood-zone homes where repair or renovation costs exceed 50% of the pre-storm assessed value. Hit that threshold on a ground-floor bathroom remodel and the entire structure must be elevated to current BFE standards. We run the numbers with you before demo so you know where you stand. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk through your assessed value and scope honestly.
We plan the site before we swing a hammer. That means dumpster placement on the driveway, not the street, saw work done by 5 p.m., and a heads-up to your neighbor before demo day. In McGregor’s denser blocks, shared-wall proximity often means we schedule noisy work in short windows and keep material staging tight against the house. The goal is a remodel your neighbor waves about, not one that ends in a noise complaint.
Yes, you need a permit, and if you’re replacing plumbing rough-in or moving a valve you’ll need a plumbing inspection along with the final building sign-off. Lee County performs all of these, and we pull the permit ourselves. On homes flagged for substantial-improvement review, an engineered flood-vent plan may also be required. We handle that end and get the inspectors signed before we close the wall.
Expect to find what we find on most 1950s McGregor ranches: original cast-iron drains that are at best tired and at worst corroded from brackish surge water, subfloor rot where slab moisture wicked up into the framing, and lath-and-plaster walls that hide more than they support. We open the wall, show you what’s there, and put any extra scope in a written change order before proceeding. Nothing gets buried.
Yes, and we’ll keep the changes consistent with the era of the house. If your property falls under historic overlay review along McGregor Boulevard, we work with the county’s review process and keep the interior modifications reversible where the guidelines require it. A tub-to-shower conversion doesn’t have to erase the cottage’s character. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you what’s possible on your specific block.
