AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across San Carlos Park
A full bathroom remodel in San Carlos Park, FL typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions starting closer to $3,500. What you’ll pay depends on the size of the bathroom, whether you’re moving plumbing, and what materials you choose. But the bigger question most homeowners in San Carlos Park ask us isn’t the price, it’s whether the contractor will actually show up and finish without handing over a surprise bill at the end. That’s the part we control with written change orders and a name you can look up. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your bathroom together, tape measure in hand.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is San Carlos Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. When we say someone named Barrett will be on your job, we mean it. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers in a branded van. Homeowners in the 33967 ZIP code tell us the same thing after Hurricane Ian: they got burned by outfits that quoted one number, then delivered another. So we put every scope and every allowance in writing before the first tile comes off the wall. If it’s not on paper, it doesn’t happen.
San Carlos Park sits in unincorporated Lee County, which means every permit flows through the Lee County Building Department rather than a city office. That department faced serious inspection backlogs after Ian, and locals know to pull permits early. We handle that step for you, and we don’t skip it. A permit inspector works for you, not for us. We like it that way.
Calls to (877) 610-1318 are answered by a live person, day or night. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. We serve San Carlos Park directly, and our crews know the streets, the housing stock, and the county requirements that apply here.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in San Carlos Park
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We strip the room to the studs or work around what’s sound, depending on what your walls tell us. Many San Carlos Park homes are concrete block stucco built between the 1970s and 1990s, which means furring strips and drywall over masonry. You can’t just hang a vanity anywhere you like. We plan for that before we order materials. A full remodel in San Carlos Park generally lands between $9,000 and $28,000.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Post-Ian, we see a lot of San Carlos Park homeowners moving away from tub-shower combos toward walk-in showers, especially in smaller guest baths. Curbless entries are a real option here, but your slab and drain height dictate what’s possible. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 in San Carlos Park, and a shower replacement typically falls between $3,000 and $8,500.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is one of the most common requests we get in San Carlos Park. Older CBS homes often have a cast-iron tub that’s scratched, rusted at the drain, or just too deep to climb into safely. A tub-to-shower conversion opens the room and improves access. In San Carlos Park, that job runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on tile, glass, and whether the existing drain location works with the new shower base.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
For a smaller refresh without gutting the room, we replace vanities, swap tile, set fixtures, and rework lighting. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in San Carlos Park. We stock and order from brands you can look up, so you know exactly what’s going into your house. If you’re in San Carlos Park and just want the bathroom to stop looking like 1987, this is the scope that gets it done without a full gut.

Trusted Brands We Service in San Carlos Park
We install materials with names behind them, not mystery stock off a van. In bathrooms, that means Cambria quartz, KraftMaid vanities, and tile from Techo-Bloc’s line where it makes sense for the wet areas. If a brand isn’t performing well in Florida’s humidity, we stop recommending it. We don’t carry everything on the truck, but we can source parts and fixtures quickly for San Carlos Park customers because our suppliers run routes through Lee County every week. You’ll get real product names on your estimate, in writing, before we ever cut into a wall.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in San Carlos Park Homes
- Water intrusion behind tile from the Ian era. Homes repaired in a hurry after Hurricane Ian sometimes got band-aid fixes, not proper waterproofing. We regularly remove tile in San Carlos Park and find damp drywall or mold behind it. A proper remodel means a new water barrier, not a fresh coat of paint over a wet wall.
- Single-pane jalousie or aluminum-frame windows in bathrooms. The older CBS homes in San Carlos Park were built before Florida strengthened its wind codes in 2002. Bathroom windows from that era leak air, condense moisture, and fail current Lee County wind-mitigation standards. A bathroom remodel here often includes an opening upgrade just to pass inspection.
- Slab movement and high water tables. San Carlos Park’s flat, low-lying topography and poorly draining interior mean water sits after summer storms. That affects how we waterproof shower pans and floor transitions. We plan for moisture from underneath the slab, not just from the shower.
- Dated cast-iron tubs that are dangerous to use. We see plenty of original tubs from the 1970s and 1980s with rust at the drain and a high step-in height. For San Carlos Park homeowners in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, that’s a fall risk. A tub-to-shower conversion with a low threshold is often the fix that makes the bathroom safe again.

A full bathroom remodel in San Carlos Park typically costs $9,000 to $28,000, while a small bathroom refresh runs $5,000 to $12,000.

Yes. San Carlos Park is unincorporated, so permits flow through the Lee County Building Department rather than a city office. We handle the paperwork and schedule inspections on every eligible job. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, walk away. We don’t skip this step in San Carlos Park, and we never will.
Most full bathroom remodels in San Carlos Park take two to four weeks depending on scope, materials, and Lee County inspection scheduling. Post-Ian, county inspections can add days to the timeline, so we pad for that from the start. You’ll get a written schedule before we begin, and any change to that schedule comes as a written change order. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific bathroom.
Yes, and we see it often. Hurricane Ian damaged hundreds of homes throughout the 33967 ZIP code, and many bathrooms received rush repairs that didn’t address hidden moisture. We inspect for water intrusion behind tile, around windows, and under the slab before we quote anything. If the damage is caught early, you may only need a shower replacement. If it’s deeper, we’ll show you the proof and quote the fix in writing.

If something isn’t done right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right with one call. We also stand behind the brands we install. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask us about the warranty in writing before you sign anything.
