AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Parkland
A full bathroom remodel in Parkland typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with walk-in shower installations starting around $4,500. Most projects take two to four weeks once permits clear. If you live in Heron Bay, Parkland Golf & Country Club, or anywhere in the 33067 zip code, call us at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll walk your bathroom with you before you spend a dime.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. We know Parkland’s permitting maze, we know your Architectural Review Committee rules, and we know what salt air does to bathroom hardware over twenty years. We answer our own phone, we show up when we say we will, and every price change lands on paper before work moves forward.
Why Salt Air Decides the Materials in Parkland Bathrooms
Parkland sits far enough inland that most people do not think of it as coastal. But the Atlantic’s salt air makes it here, pulled west across the Everglades on the same afternoon sea breeze pattern that keeps your palms moving. That salt mixes with Parkland’s notoriously humid interior air and finds its way into bathroom wall cavities. What it does there is the quiet kind of destruction: galvanized pipe nipples rust from the outside in, copper develops pinholes at the fittings, exhaust fan housings corrode, and recessed LED drivers fail years early. We see it on nearly every 1990s CBS home we open up in Heron Bay and Parkland Golf & Country Club.
This is why we spec stainless steel hardware, marine-grade exhaust fans, and sealed trim housings on our Parkland bathroom remodels. The materials cost more up front. The cheap inland-spec version works fine for a few years, then the fan grinds itself to death, the chrome pits, and a pinhole leak soaks your new tile. A $3,500 tub-to-shower conversion with inland-grade parts becomes a $6,000 repair five years later. We would rather charge you for the right stuff on day one.

The Parkland Permitting Reality Most Contractors Do Not Mention
Here is something you will not hear from a national company quoting you over the phone. Parkland’s legally protected “City in the Country” identity is not just a slogan. It is enforced through some of Broward County’s strictest tree-preservation ordinances and environmental setback rules. If your bathroom remodel adds square footage or relocates plumbing to an exterior wall, you may need a tree survey, a canopy mitigation plan, and South Florida Water Management District review before the city will even look at your permit application.
That is a dual-track permitting burden. Your contractor has to run the city track and the SFWMD track at the same time. Neighboring Coral Springs and Coconut Creek simply do not have this overlay to the same degree. A contractor who has not done a dozen Parkland remodels will stall out at this step. We have, and we run both tracks from day one.
This is what real local expertise looks like. Not a stocking cap with a logo on it. A working knowledge of the rules that govern your specific property. For more on how we serve this area specifically, see Bathroom Remodeling in Parkland.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is the Crew Parkland Calls
We have been owner-operated since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published. Look them up. Call the number and ask for Tom. You will get a person, not a voicemail tree and not an out-of-state call center. His sons run the crews in Parkland, and background-checked, uniformed crew members carry the Barrett name onto every job site.
Every contract carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something is not right, one call brings Tom back. Every price change, every allowance, every scope adjustment arrives as a written change order before work happens. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That is why we like him. And on every eligible job, permits get pulled and inspections get signed.
We also publish four standing offers and have for years: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Parkland
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel means taking the room down to the studs and rebuilding it the way you actually use it. In Parkland’s larger CBS homes, that often means reworking a cramped 5×8 guest bath into a proper owner’s retreat with a double vanity, a curbless shower, and ventilation that actually moves humid air out. Full remodels in Parkland run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on footprint, finish level, and whether any exterior wall work triggers the tree and SFWMD overlay.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Parkland runs $4,500 to $12,000. We build a lot of curbless entries for homeowners planning to stay in their Heron Bay or Parkland Golf homes through retirement. The local angle matters here: a curbless shower with a properly sloped pan and a sealed linear drain specs differently in Parkland’s humidity than it does inland. We use marine-grade linear drains and sealed trims because we know what the salt air does to the cheaper ones.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions run $3,500 to $10,000 in Parkland. This is the highest-value project for 1990s homes where the original tub is shallow, stained, and surrounded by tile that has seen thirty years of Florida humidity. The conversion is straightforward, but two things matter in Parkland: whether the original plumbing is up to the task, and whether any drain relocation touches the slab. We inspect both before we quote.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000. Tile work, including backsplashes and shower surrounds, is priced per square foot based on material and layout. For Parkland bathrooms we push sealed porcelain over natural stone in wet zones, and we stock fixture finish options that will not pit in salt-adjacent air. You can look up every brand we install. We do not pull mystery materials off a van.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
Frameless enclosures are standard on most of our Parkland shower remodels. They are measured after the tile is set, fabricated locally, and installed with stainless hinges rather than chrome. The extra cost over a framed unit is modest, and the difference in how a Parkland bathroom looks and holds up is night and day. If your Architectural Review Committee has opinions on exterior glass, none of this applies. This is interior work.

Trusted Brands We Service and Install in Parkland
We carry premium brands across every trade we touch. In Parkland bathrooms, you will see names like Simonton for any impact-rated window work, and PGT for impact glass where a bathroom window faces an exterior wall your ARC cares about. For hardware and fixtures we are brand-flexible, which means we install what the job needs, not what we happen to have in the warehouse. Parkland’s salt-adjacent air tells us which brands hold up. We do not experiment on your nickel.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Parkland Homes
- Corroded copper and galvanized supply lines. Original 1980s to 2000s copper and galvanized lines in Parkland’s humid CBS homes develop internal corrosion and pin-hole leaks. We opened a Heron Bay bathroom in a 1998 concrete block home and found original copper supply lines sweating behind the tub surround. The salt-air corrosion plus interior humidity had turned the air cavity into a condensing chamber. We replaced exposed copper with PEX before any new tile went up.
- Inland-grade exhaust fans rusting out early. Cheap fan housings and recessed trims corrode within three to five years in Parkland’s humidity. We spec marine-grade exhaust fans and sealed drivers so you do not replace a bathroom fan twice in a decade.
- ARC stop-work orders on exterior changes. Parkland’s gated communities run independent Architectural Review Committees. Change a bathroom window or exterior vent without ARC approval first and the job stops cold. We run ARC approval and city permits simultaneously from the start.
- Drainage and slab issues on any plumbing relocation. Parkland sits on flat land with a seasonally high water table at the eastern fringe of the Everglades drainage basin. Moving a toilet or shower drain means cutting into slab and re-routing plumbing. Do it wrong and you create standing water or FEMA flood zone compliance issues that affect resale. We do it right and get it signed off.

What moves the number is finish level, whether you are moving plumbing, and whether any exterior work trips the tree survey or SFWMD overlay. The coastal-spec materials we recommend add roughly 10 to 15 percent over the inland-spec version of the same job. That money buys you stainless hardware, marine-grade fans, and sealed trims that will not fail in five years. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written line-item quote. The estimate is free, and it arrives on paper, not in a text message.
A Heron Bay Bathroom We Will Not Forget
Our crew opened a 1998 CBS bathroom in Heron Bay to find original copper supply lines sweating behind the tub surround. The salt-air corrosion plus that Parkland interior humidity had turned the air cavity into a condensing chamber. Water was not just sitting in the wall. It was working on the copper from the outside while the water inside did its own damage. We replaced all exposed copper with PEX, re-routed the rough-in to avoid load-bearing block, and specified a Kohler high-efficiency toilet with a sealed flapper. The job passed city inspection on the first visit and ended with a punch list of zero items.
That is the kind of thing you only find when you actually open the wall. A company quoting over the phone will never see it. We do.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Parkland
No. A bathroom remodel that stays within the existing footprint does not typically require a tree survey or South Florida Water Management District review. The tree and SFWMD overlay kicks in when you add square footage or relocate plumbing to an exterior wall. If your remodel stays inside the current walls, the permit path is straightforward. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will tell you what applies to your specific house before you spend money.
Because Parkland’s humidity and salt-adjacent air corrode inland-grade fan housings and recessed LED drivers within three to five years. A marine-grade fan with a sealed driver costs more up front but lasts a decade or more. The cheap version fails, you pay for replacement, and the labor cost doubles the original savings. We would rather put the right part in on day one. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote that includes coastal-spec materials.
They can stop the job before it starts if you skip ARC approval on exterior changes. Window alterations, exterior vents, or any visible exterior modification need ARC sign-off before the city will begin permit review. Contractors who skip this step face stop-work orders and forced redesigns. We run ARC approval and city permits simultaneously from day one, which keeps the timeline moving. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will tell you what your specific HOA requires.
About 10 to 15 percent. On a $20,000 bathroom remodel, that is roughly $2,000 to $3,000 more for stainless hardware, marine-grade fans, and sealed trims. The inland-spec version of the same job will need fan replacement, hardware replacement, and possibly drywall repair within a decade. That repair work usually costs more than the original upgrade. We show you both numbers in writing before you choose. Call (877) 610-1318.
Because code in the 1990s did not anticipate thirty years of Parkland’s humidity combined with salt-adjacent air. Original copper and galvanized lines were installed correctly and met the standards of the day. But Parkland’s specific environment creates a condensing chamber effect inside bathroom wall cavities, and that corrodes copper from the outside while water moves through it. We see pinhole leaks behind tub surrounds in nearly every 1990s CBS home we open. We replace exposed copper with PEX before new tile goes up. Call (877) 610-1318 for an inspection.
