Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across North Andrews Gardens
Bathroom remodeling in North Andrews Gardens typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut-and-replace, with smaller jobs like a walk-in shower conversion landing between $4,500 and $12,000. Most of the homes here were built between 1955 and 1975, which means you’re almost certainly dealing with concrete block walls, terrazzo floors, and plumbing stacks that have been in the ground for over half a century. That’s not a problem if the crew knows what they’re walking into. If they don’t, you find out halfway through demo. We’ve been pulling Broward County permits for these exact houses long enough that very little surprises us on a Tuesday morning in North Andrews Gardens. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll walk your bathroom with you before anyone swings a hammer.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Andrews Gardens’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When a crew pulls up to a house off Andrews Avenue or near the curve at NE 56th Street, someone with the Barrett name on their shirt is usually the one walking through your front door. North Andrews Gardens homeowners have a specific reason for calling us after a bad experience with another outfit: we put every scope change, every allowance adjustment, and every price update on paper as a written change order before the work starts. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and you’ve probably already met that surprise once. You won’t meet it again on our job.
We also know the jurisdiction reality here better than most. North Andrews Gardens is unincorporated Broward County, which means every permit and inspection runs through the Broward County Building Division, not a city hall. Lots on the same street can fall under different authorities once you cross into Oakland Park. We verify the parcel on the Broward County Property Appraiser map before we pull anything, because pulling the wrong permit means starting over from scratch, and that’s a delay you don’t pay for on our watch. Our Bathroom Remodeling team checks jurisdiction before we ever quote the job.
Calls to Barrett & Sons are answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. When a North Andrews Gardens homeowner calls at 7:00 a.m. to ask whether the inspector’s coming before or after lunch, a person answers. That’s not a marketing line; it’s how we’ve run things for over 29 years.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in North Andrews Gardens
We focus on the work these 1950s-to-1970s concrete block houses actually need. That’s different from what a new-construction builder in Weston or Parkland might push. Here’s what most of our North Andrews Gardens jobs look like.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in North Andrews Gardens means taking the room down to the block and rebuilding it right. We remove the old cast iron tub, the original mud-set tile, and the tired vanity, then check what’s behind the walls before we rebuild. In these CBS homes, that often means finding corroded galvanized supply lines or a wax ring that’s been failing slowly for years. We replace what’s actually broken, not just what’s visible. Full remodels here typically run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size and scope, and every job includes permits pulled through Broward County and inspections signed before we call it done.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade in North Andrews Gardens right now, mostly because the original tub-shower combos in these homes are narrow, tiled in colors nobody has loved since 1972, and framed with original jalousie windows that leak air and water. We remove the old tub surround, re-frame the opening, and build a walk-in shower with proper waterproofing, new tile or solid surface, and a frameless glass enclosure if that’s what the layout calls for. Walk-in shower installation in North Andrews Gardens runs $4,500 to $12,000. Shower replacements land between $3,000 and $8,500.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
If you’ve got a cast iron tub that nobody uses and a bathroom that’s tight on space, a tub-to-shower conversion opens the room up dramatically. We cut out the old tub, run a new drain line, and build a shower base with a lower threshold so you’re not stepping over a tub wall every morning. For homeowners in their 60s and 70s, that threshold drop is the difference between staying in this house for another decade and moving. Tub-to-shower conversion in North Andrews Gardens runs $3,500 to $10,000, and it’s one of the fastest ways to make a small bathroom feel twice its size.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones are fine and the cosmetics aren’t. We replace vanities, re-tile floors and walls, swap out old fixtures, and update lighting in North Andrews Gardens bathrooms that don’t need a full gut. We’re not going to upsell you into a full remodel when a vanity and tile refresh does the job. Bathroom vanity installation here runs $800 to $3,000. Tile work depends on the square footage and the tile you pick, but we quote it line by line so you see exactly where every dollar goes.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Andrews Gardens
We stock and install materials you can look up by name, not mystery brands off a van. On North Andrews Gardens bathroom jobs, that means PGT and CGI for any impact-rated window or door work tied into the remodel, and Simonton for replacement windows when a bathroom window needs to go. If your bathroom still has original jalousie windows and you’re re-tiling the shower, replacing that window with something that actually seals is usually part of the scope. We coordinate the window replacement with the tile work so the waterproofing and the glazing aren’t fighting each other. And if the roof over the bathroom has been leaking, we can handle that too before we rebuild the ceiling. Our Roofing in North Andrews Gardens crew works side by side with the interior teams. The same goes for Windows & Doors in North Andrews Gardens when the scope calls for it.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in North Andrews Gardens Homes
- Original cast iron drain lines corroding from the inside out. Many of these 1955-to-1975 homes still have their original cast iron waste lines, and after 50 to 70 years in South Florida’s sandy, moist soil, they rot from the inside. We find this on the majority of full bathroom remodels in North Andrews Gardens, and it’s usually the single biggest line item once we open the slab.
- Moisture intrusion through original jalousie windows in shower areas. Those louvered glass windows were never designed to be inside a wet zone, and decades of steam and splash have rotted the framing around many of them. Building code requires specific glazing and waterproofing treatment when you renovate around them.
- Slab settlement creating cracked terrazzo and tile floors. Eastern Broward County sits on a shallow water table with sandy-limestone substrate, which means these slabs move slightly over time. We see hairline cracks in terrazzo and popped tile more often here than in newer builds further west. Sometimes it’s cosmetic; sometimes it’s a sign of a bigger drainage issue. We check before we tile.
- Jurisdiction mix-ups on boundary parcels. If your house sits near the border between North Andrews Gardens and incorporated Oakland Park, you need the right authority pulled before any work starts. A county permit for a city parcel means starting over. We verify every parcel before we quote.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in North Andrews Gardens, FL
A full bathroom remodel in North Andrews Gardens runs $9,000 to $28,000. Small bathrooms on the lower end of that range generally come in between $5,000 and $12,000.

Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000.

We write every allowance and every change order on paper before work starts, so the price you sign is the price you pay unless you ask us to change something, at which point you see the new number in writing first. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you a line-item quote you can actually compare against other bids.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in North Andrews Gardens
We can typically begin a bathroom remodel in North Andrews Gardens within two to four weeks of contract signing, depending on the size of the job and current Broward County permit turnaround. Smaller jobs like a vanity or shower replacement can often start sooner. Call (877) 610-1318 for a start-date estimate based on your specific scope.
Yes, every eligible bathroom remodel in North Andrews Gardens includes permits pulled through the Broward County Building Division and inspections signed before we call the job done. We verify each parcel’s jurisdiction on the Broward County Property Appraiser map before we pull anything, because boundary lots near Oakland Park can fall under different authorities. If someone tells you permits are optional for a full bathroom gut, walk away from that bid.
Bathroom remodel costs in North Andrews Gardens generally fall in the same $9,000 to $28,000 range as nearby Oakland Park and Wilton Manors, but the permit path is different. Unincorporated Broward County has its own fee schedule and inspection cadence through the county Building Division, which can add a bit of time but shouldn’t meaningfully change the cost of a competent contractor’s work. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your house.
