Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Pelican Bay
A full bathroom remodel in Pelican Bay typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions starting around $3,500 and walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. Those are real numbers from our work in the 34108 zip code, not phone estimates that change when someone finally shows up. If you live in one of the high-rise condos along Gulf Shore Drive or a single-family home off Bay Colony Drive, the biggest hurdle isn’t the build itself, it’s the paperwork. Pelican Bay is a different animal from Naples Park or Golden Gate. The Pelican Bay Foundation runs its own Architectural Review Committee, which means any remodel, including a bathroom that never sees daylight, has to clear Foundation approval before Collier County will even look at your permit application. Tom Barrett and our crew have been through that process enough times to know exactly what the ARC will flag before you pay a designer. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your project through both tracks without losing a month to a denial letter.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pelican Bay’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re owner-operated, founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published for anyone to look up before signing a contract. That matters in Pelican Bay because the Foundation’s ARC submittal calendar doesn’t wait for contractors who learn the rules on your dime. Our Bathroom Remodeling team knows which materials the Committee’s pre-approved palette includes and which tile, fixture, or finish choice will bounce back for aesthetic review. We’ve pulled permits and passed inspections on condominium bathroom remodels in Pelican Bay where the building itself falls under Florida’s post-Surfside structural inspection requirements, which means the remodel has to coordinate with building-wide mechanical and waterproofing work, not just your unit’s floor plan. No trip charge inside the county, and a live person answers the phone 24/7, not a voicemail box. Tom lives close enough that if something isn’t right, he wants to hear about it.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Pelican Bay
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Pelican Bay usually means gutting to the studs, replacing the waterproofing, and rebuilding with materials that can handle the humidity and salt air coming off the Gulf. In the condo towers built in the 1980s and early 1990s along the western corridor, we often find original cast iron drain lines and drywall that has wicked moisture from decades of coastal exposure. We spec stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners even on interior framing in the 34108 zip code because unprotected steel corrodes fast this close to the water. Every change order arrives in writing before work proceeds, so allowances for tile, fixtures, or shower glass are never a surprise at the end.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Pelican Bay runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on whether you’re converting an existing tub footprint or expanding into adjacent space. Many Pelican Bay homeowners in their 50s and 60s want a curbless entry with a linear drain, which requires precise floor slope and a waterproofing membrane like Schluter Kerdi to meet code. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand with you when the inspector walks through, because the permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s the point.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in Pelican Bay costs $3,500 to $10,000 and is the single most common bathroom project we do in the community’s condos, where original tubs from the 1980s often sit unused. The Foundation’s ARC process doesn’t require a full hearing for a tub-to-shower swap, but it does require the submittal to show the new shower valve, drain location, and waterproofing method. We handle that paperwork so your project doesn’t get kicked back for a line item the Committee wants clarified.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Pelican Bay runs $800 to $3,000 for the cabinet and top, with plumbing adjustments priced as a written change order if the drain or supply lines need to move. We install Grohe and Sterling fixtures regularly, and we can help you choose tile that survives the moist, salty air without discoloring or losing grout integrity within a few years. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, so every tile, vanity, and fixture allowance is documented before the first nail moves.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pelican Bay
We stock and install Schluter waterproofing systems for Pelican Bay showers, Grohe and Sterling fixtures for faucets and valves, and we can source replacement parts quickly for the brands already in your home. Condominium remodels in Pelican Bay sometimes require specific fixture trims to match building standards, and we’ll track down the exact model rather than telling you to settle for whatever is on a shelf. If your bathroom tile failed because the original waterproofing was never done correctly, we’ll show you what was behind the wall before we rebuild it with a system that passes inspection.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Pelican Bay Homes
- Failed waterproofing behind original tile. Many of the 1980s and 1990s condos in Pelican Bay were built before modern waterproofing membranes were standard, and once humidity and salt air get behind the tile, the substrate weakens. We open the wall, document the condition, and rebuild with Schluter Kerdi so the inspector sees a sealed system, not a patch job.
- Corroded shut-off valves and supply lines. Salt-laden air works on brass and copper year round, and we routinely replace valves in Pelican Bay bathrooms that haven’t been touched in 20 years. If you live closer to the Gulf, we recommend stainless or marine-grade fittings even where local code allows standard brass.
- Water damage from upstairs condominium units. In high-rise pelican Bay buildings, a leaking shower pan in the unit above you becomes your ceiling problem. We coordinate with building management and the upper unit’s owner so the waterproofing fix happens before we rebuild your ceiling and walls.
- Foundation approval delays from incomplete submittals. The single biggest scheduling killer in Pelican Bay is a bathroom remodel that gets bounced by the ARC because the submittal lacked fixture schedules or material details. We get informal feedback from Foundation staff before finalizing drawings, shaving a full review cycle off the schedule.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Pelican Bay
We can usually schedule a Pelican Bay bathroom remodel within 2 to 4 weeks, but for condominiums the Foundation’s ARC review calendar sets the real start date. We submit your package early, chase the review slot, and coordinate with the building’s management office so the Foundation’s 30 to 60 day review window doesn’t stack on top of Collier County’s permit wait. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written timeline before you sign.
Yes, we prepare and submit the Foundation’s Architectural Review Committee package for every Pelican Bay bathroom remodel we do, including fixture schedules, material specs, and the waterproofing method. We’ve learned to get informal staff feedback before finalizing drawings, so your project doesn’t lose a full review cycle to a denial letter. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.
Yes, typically 10 to 20 percent more than comparable work in Naples or Golden Gate, because the Foundation’s material standards, condominium access rules, and building-specific inspection requirements add cost. We show every line item in writing before work starts, so if the Pelican Bay premium shows up, you’ll see exactly where it comes from and why. Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-item quote.
Yes, we pull every permit required for bathroom plumbing, electrical, and structural work in Pelican Bay, and we schedule the inspections. Some contractors tell homeowners permits are optional, but in Pelican Bay the Foundation’s enforcement arm can flag unpermitted work and require it to be redone or removed. We don’t put you in that position. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on a permitted remodel.
Every bathroom remodel we complete in Pelican Bay carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right, one call. That’s in addition to manufacturer warranties on Schluter, Grohe, Sterling, and any other installed materials. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put the warranty terms in writing along with your estimate.
