AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across San Carlos Park
A full bathroom remodel in San Carlos Park typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller projects like a tub-to-shower conversion falling between $3,500 and $10,000. Most jobs take three to six weeks once permits clear the Lee County Building Department. That timeline matters here more than in other places, because since Hurricane Ian, the county’s permit office has run at a pace all its own. If you live off Three Oaks Parkway or near the San Carlos Golf Club, you’ve probably watched your neighbor’s remodel stall waiting for an inspection. We plan around that from the first walkthrough. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come take a look, no trip charge inside the county.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is San Carlos Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett is the name on the truck, not a logo on a franchise agreement. His sons run the crews that work in San Carlos Park, which means the person who shakes your hand at the estimate is the same person accountable if something needs fixing later. That’s not a marketing line. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number, and he’ll tell you to look it up before you sign anything. He lives twenty minutes away. If something’s wrong, he wants to know about it.
San Carlos Park homeowners have used our Bathroom Remodeling team for everything from a full gut renovation on a 1980s CBS home to a simple vanity swap in a guest bath. The reviews from this ZIP code, 33967, mention two things repeatedly: the price on the estimate matched the final invoice, and the crew showed up when they said they would. We keep it that way with written change orders. No allowance change, no scope adjustment, no surprise line item arrives without a piece of paper in your hand first. The permit inspector works for you, not for me; that’s why we pull every permit an eligible job requires and we don’t ask if you’d rather skip it.
One more thing worth knowing: a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. When you’re standing in a gutted bathroom at 7 a.m. wondering if the plumber is coming, you get a human voice.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in San Carlos Park
We’re a full-service remodeler, which means we don’t hand your bathroom off to four different subcontractors who’ve never met each other. The same Barrett & Sons crew handles the framing, tile, plumbing, and finish work. Here’s what we do most often in San Carlos Park.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
The classic San Carlos Park full remodel means a single-story CBS home built in the 70s or 80s getting its original bathroom brought up to something better. We strip it to the block walls, address any water damage from decades of Florida humidity, and rebuild with proper waterproofing, current fixtures, and materials that won’t warp in a southwest Florida summer. Most full remodels in this area land between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on size and finish level.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers make up a huge share of our San Carlos Park work. Many of these homes were built with narrow fiberglass tubs that don’t work for homeowners who want to age in place. We replace them with curbless or low-threshold showers, install proper grab-bar blocking behind the walls, and use slip-resistant tile that stays safe when wet. Walk-in shower installation here runs $4,500 to $12,000.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
The tub-to-shower conversion is the single most requested project in 33967, especially in homes being renovated after Ian. We remove the old tub, redo the drain line, waterproof the entire enclosure, and set a new shower pan and tile. It’s a cleaner, safer, more open layout that also happens to be easier to maintain. Expect $3,500 to $10,000 in San Carlos Park.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones of the bathroom are fine and the problem is the 1992 vanity with water-swollen particleboard doors. We swap vanities, re-tile floors and shower walls, replace faucets and showerheads, and install new toilets. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000, and new tile work gets priced by the square foot once we measure. This is the work that makes a bathroom feel new without moving a wall.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in San Carlos Park Homes
- Water intrusion from Ian-era roof and window damage. A bathroom that hasn’t been opened up since the storm often hides soft drywall behind the tile and mold in the wall cavity. We don’t re-tile over rot; we cut it out and rebuild it correctly.
- Original single-pane jalousie or aluminum windows. These fail current Lee County wind-mitigation standards, and in a bathroom they also let moisture and humidity sit against the wall. Our Windows & Doors in San Carlos Park team can replace them as part of the remodel.
- Slab-on-grade plumbing access. Nearly every San Carlos Park home sits on a concrete slab, which means re-routing a drain or moving a toilet isn’t a simple crawlspace job. We handle the concrete cutting, dewatering, and plumbing all in-house rather than bringing in three different crews. Standing water after summer thunderstorms is a real site condition here, and we plan dewatering into any slab work.
- Oversized tubs in tiny bathrooms. A lot of these 70s-era floor plans squeezed a big tub into a 5×8 foot bathroom, which means a tub-to-shower conversion frees up more usable space than the room has had in 40 years.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Carlos Park
We install materials you can research before you spend a dollar. For bathroom remodels, that means tile from manufacturers with published wear ratings and waterproofing systems that carry real warranties, not mystery brands off a van. We also carry Techo-Bloc and Cambridge products for the hardscape side of the house, and when a bathroom remodel turns into a patio or walkway project outside the slider, we can source those locally for San Carlos Park customers without the wait. For anything structural where the roof got involved during Ian, our Roofing in San Carlos Park crew steps in before water has another chance at your new ceiling.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in San Carlos Park, FL

Yes, those are wide ranges. The spread comes down to size, whether we’re moving plumbing or keeping it in place, tile grade, and what we find when the walls come open. Homes in San Carlos Park that took Ian water sometimes need more structural work than the initial walkthrough can show. That’s normal. What you won’t get is a phone quote for one price and an invoice for another. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every material upgrade arrives as a written change order before the work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a free written estimate, which is also why we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you already have.

We cover all of 33967, including homes along Three Oaks Parkway, the neighborhoods around San Carlos Golf Club, and the communities off Alico Road and Imperial Parkway. If you’re inside San Carlos Park, you’re in our service area. No trip charge inside the county.
Yes. San Carlos Park is unincorporated, which means permits go through the Lee County Building Department, not a city office. After Ian, that office had inspection backlogs that are still being worked through, so we pull permits early and build the schedule around the county, not the other way. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed.
Most bathroom remodels in San Carlos Park take three to six weeks from demo to final inspection. The county’s permit and inspection timeline is usually the variable, and we tell clients that upfront rather than promising a date we can’t hold. The written estimate includes the schedule, and the written change order covers any adjustment to it.
Every bathroom remodel we complete in San Carlos Park carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract itself. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. That’s on top of whatever manufacturer warranties apply to the tile, fixtures, and waterproofing materials we installed. You get the paper before the job starts, not after it’s over.
