AfterBathroom Remodeling in Palm Beach Gardens: What It Costs and How It Works
Most full bathroom remodels in Palm Beach Gardens run between $9,000 and $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions landing around $3,500 to $10,000 and walk-in shower installations between $4,500 and $12,000. The number moves based on what we find when the walls come open, what your HOA requires before we touch a single tile, and the finish level you want. If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in Palm Beach Gardens, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through a real number, not a phone guess.
We started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and our crews work Palm Beach Gardens every week. We know the gated communities, the older concrete block homes in the east, and the new builds out near Avenir. That local knowledge is why we can quote you accurately before demo day instead of handing you a surprise invoice afterward.
Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Palm Beach Gardens
When you call us about a bathroom remodel in Palm Beach Gardens, a live person answers. Always. Not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center, and not Tom’s voicemail. You’ll reach someone who can talk through your project, schedule a walkthrough, and give you straight answers about timelines, permits, and costs. Homeowners in PGA National, BallenIsles, Mirasol, and the neighborhoods along PGA Boulevard call us because they’ve already been burned by a contractor who quoted one number on the phone and showed up with a different one. We fix that by putting everything on paper before work starts.
Our dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our South Florida office, and our crews serve Palm Beach Gardens locally. Tom Barrett and his sons are on-site most days. This is not a franchise sending strangers to your door. When you hire Barrett & Sons, the name on the truck is the name on the contract, and the person who shook your hand is the person standing in your bathroom.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Palm Beach Gardens’s Go-To Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
Palm Beach Gardens is a specific market with specific rules, and we respect them. Work inside BallenIsles or Mirasol requires HOA architectural approval before the city issues a permit. Work in older eastern 33410 homes means opening walls and finding corroded galvanized plumbing buried in the slab. Work near Avenir means planning for a high water table that punishes shortcuts. We have handled all of it, and we handle it the same way every time: inspection first, allowances in writing, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
Our reputation in Palm Beach Gardens is built on the 90-Day Done Right Promise. It is written on every contract. If something is not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call. That is the whole promise, no fine print. We also publish Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number. You can look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street about us, or check the license yourself. We want you to.
Every job that needs a permit gets one. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we like having him on the job. Inspections signed means the work was checked by someone whose only job is to catch mistakes. That protects you, and it keeps our crews honest.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Palm Beach Gardens
Here is what we do most often in Palm Beach Gardens. If your project is not on this list, call (877) 610-1318 and ask. We’ll tell you honestly if it’s something we take on.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Palm Beach Gardens usually means gutting to the studs, replacing plumbing and electrical where needed, and rebuilding with finishes that stand up to Florida humidity. In older 33410 homes, we commonly find failed waterproofing and corroded pipes once the tile comes off. That is not a surprise to us, and it should not be a surprise to you. We build allowances for exactly that into the written contract so you know the worst case before demolition starts.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade we see in Palm Beach Gardens, especially in golf community homes where owners want a zero-threshold entry and a frameless glass enclosure. We install Schluter waterproofing systems on shower pans and walls, which matters in a climate where moisture is a daily reality. A walk-in shower installation in Palm Beach Gardens typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on glass, tile, and plumbing changes.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower is practical for aging-in-place and it opens up a small bathroom visually. In 1960s and 1970s concrete block homes in eastern Palm Beach Gardens, the existing tub drain is often too small, and the slab may need core-drilling to run a proper 2-inch shower drain. We handle that in-house and write it into the change order before the saw comes out. Expect $3,500 to $10,000 for a typical conversion in Palm Beach Gardens.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
If you’re replacing a vanity, retiling, or swapping fixtures without moving walls, we do that too. We install Grohe fixtures, Sterling tubs and shower bases, and tile from local suppliers in Palm Beach Gardens and the surrounding area. Small bathroom remodels in this market start around $5,000 and go up to $12,000, depending on scope and finish.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from full gut renovations to fixture swaps, and we carry the same standards across every job size. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies whether we are replacing one vanity or rebuilding the whole room.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach Gardens
We install materials you can look up by name, not mystery brands off a van. In Palm Beach Gardens bathrooms, that means Schluter waterproofing systems on showers, Sterling tubs and shower bases where cast iron or acrylic makes sense, and Grohe fixtures for controlled flow and durability. We also carry GAF materials across our roofing work, which matters in this storm-driven climate. When a brand has specific installation requirements, we follow them and stand behind the result. If you’re comparing Bathroom Remodeling in Palm Beach Gardens quotes, ask what materials each contractor actually plans to install. If they can’t name brands, walk away.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Palm Beach Gardens Homes
These are the issues we run into most often when we demo bathrooms in Palm Beach Gardens. They are local, they are predictable, and they are exactly why we write allowances into every contract.
- Corroded galvanized plumbing in 1960s-70s concrete block homes. The original pipes in eastern 33410 are often rusted from the inside out. When walls come open, replacing them is not optional. We inspect first, quote the re-pipe in writing, and you approve it before we proceed.
- Failed waterproofing around tubs and showers. Florida humidity finds every weak seal. In older bathrooms, we routinely find rotted subfloor and mold behind tile that looked fine from the outside. We strip to the studs, rebuild with Schluter waterproofing, and only close the walls after the city inspection sign-off.
- HOA approval delays in gated communities. In PGA National, BallenIsles, and Mirasol, you need architectural review board sign-off before the city will issue a permit. Out-of-county contractors miss this and stall projects at the rough-in stage. We file the HOA paperwork first and keep the timeline moving.
- High water table issues near Avenir. Slab-on-grade bathrooms in western 33418 need extra waterproofing and drainage planning because the water table sits close to the surface. Standard moisture barriers are not enough. We plan for it before concrete is poured, not after.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Here is what our bathroom projects actually cost in Palm Beach Gardens. These are real ranges from jobs we have done in this market, not national averages you found on a cost-calculator site.
| Service | Palm Beach Gardens Price Range |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 - $10,000 |
The biggest cost driver is what we find behind the walls. In older Palm Beach Gardens homes, code-required upgrades like impact-rated windows, electrical grounding, and re-pipes can add real money, but only after we write the change order and you approve the number. That is the difference between our process and a contractor who surprises you at the end. You always know where the number stands. The estimate is free. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a real range for your specific bathroom.
We Also Serve Cities Near Palm Beach Gardens
Our crews cover Palm Beach Gardens and the surrounding communities, including Lake Park, North Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, and The Acreage. If you live just outside the city line, we still pull the same permits, follow the same HOA rules, and back everything with the same 90-Day Done Right Promise.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Palm Beach Gardens
Yes. Interior remodels inside gated golf communities in Palm Beach Gardens still require architectural review board approval before the city issues a permit, because communities like PGA National and BallenIsles regulate even interior work when plumbing or structural changes are involved. We file the HOA application as part of our pre-construction process, and we do not swing a hammer until both the HOA and the city have signed off. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re not sure what your community requires, and we’ll help you figure it out.
We stop, write the repair scope and the cost on a change order, and hand it to you for approval. You approve the price in writing before we spend a dollar on lumber or waterproofing. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we do not do surprises. This is common in older Palm Beach Gardens bathrooms, especially 1970s-era homes with original tub surrounds.
If your remodel includes replacing a bathroom window or enlarging an opening, the new window must meet Palm Beach County impact-resistance requirements under the Florida Building Code. In practice, that means impact-rated glass on any exterior opening we touch. We quote the impact window cost up front so it’s in your budget from day one, not added on after the city inspector raises it.
We plan slab work and drainage assuming water is close to the surface, because it is. For slab-on-grade bathrooms in the Avenir area, we specify extra waterproofing under the slab and grade the drainage so water moves away from the foundation. Skimping on that in this part of Palm Beach Gardens leads to moisture wicking up through the slab and ruining finished floors. We don’t take that risk, and we don’t let you take it either.
Yes, and we do it regularly in eastern 33410. The main challenge is the drain. Old tub drains are usually 1.5-inch lines, and a shower needs 2 inches. That means core-drilling through the concrete slab and running new pipe, which we handle in-house. Expect the conversion in a concrete block home to run $3,500 to $10,000, depending on whether we hit corroded plumbing while the slab is open. We’ll quote it all before the saw comes out.
