Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Southwest Ranches’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Southwest Ranches. That’s not a tagline. It’s who answers the phone when you call (877) 610-1318, and it’s who you’ll see walking your property before the first permit is pulled. We’re owner-operated, not a franchise dispatching strangers from three counties away. When we quote a bathroom remodel in Southwest Ranches, the name on the contract is the same name on the truck in your driveway.
Southwest Ranches homeowners tell us the same story over and over: they hired a company that quoted one price on the phone, then handed them a bill that looked nothing like it when the job was done. We do the opposite. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every surprise behind the wall arrives as a written change order before we touch it. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We write it all down.
Our reputation in Southwest Ranches comes from the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on every contract. If something isn’t right after we finish, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. No fine print. And because we’re based out of our Miami South FL office and schedule locally, we’re never more than a short drive from your estate when you need us.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Southwest Ranches
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles the full scope of work in Southwest Ranches, from gut renovations to targeted upgrades. Here’s what we do most often.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade in Southwest Ranches right now. The ranch-style homes built here in the 1960s through 1980s came with narrow tub-shower combos, and homeowners are tired of stepping over a tub wall. A walk-in shower install in Southwest Ranches runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on the waterproofing system, glass enclosure, and whether we’re replacing an existing footprint or expanding the shower. We do the full tear-out, address any rot in the subfloor, install a proper moisture barrier, and set the shower base to drain correctly. No shortcuts.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in Southwest Ranches costs $3,500 to $10,000, and it’s one of the smarter moves for aging-in-place comfort. Many of the older estates here have original cast-iron tubs that are impossible to move without tearing up the floor anyway. We remove the tub, inspect and repair the subfloor, run new supply lines if the fixture layout changes, and build the new shower to current code. You’ll want to think about a comfort-height seat and a handheld sprayer if this is your forever home.
Small Bathroom Remodels
A small bathroom remodel in Southwest Ranches runs $5,000 to $12,000. That’s a powder room, a guest bath, or a compact bathroom in a detached guest house. The price range accounts for whether we’re just replacing the vanity and fixtures or going deeper into tile work, new subfloor, and updated plumbing. Small doesn’t mean simple. The water table out here sits 18 to 36 inches below grade, so even a small subfloor repair can require drainage work. We plan for it, and we write it into the allowance.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Southwest Ranches runs $800 to $3,000 for the install labor and materials. Tile work is typically quoted per square foot after we see the substrate, because so many of these older bathrooms in Southwest Ranches have failing drywall or no moisture barrier behind the original tile. We carry quality lines and work with fixtures you can actually look up by name. If you want a specific brand or style, tell us and we’ll price it in writing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Southwest Ranches
We don’t install mystery brands off the back of a van. In Southwest Ranches bathrooms we regularly work with Kohler and Delta fixtures, Schluter waterproofing systems, and Cambria or Corian countertops when the vanity calls for it. For clients adding an adjacent patio or outdoor shower as part of a larger estate project, we also source hardscape materials like Techo-Bloc and Quikrete products for the surrounding site work. The point is simple: you can look up every material we install and see exactly what it costs at the supply house. We don’t mark materials up into a vague “project fee.” You see the line items.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Southwest Ranches Homes
- Knob-and-tube wiring behind the walls. On a 1974 ranch-style home off Stirling Road, our crew opened a primary bath to find knob-and-tube still feeding the vanity light. That’s a code violation once the wall is open, and it has to be replaced with a new 20-amp circuit before inspection can pass. We write the change order, get your approval, and pull the electrical into the permit.
- Notched floor joists from old cast-iron rough-in. The original plumbers notched the joists to run drains. Years of settling and South Florida humidity leave those joists cracked or sagging. We sister or replace them with pressure-treated lumber and rebuild the subfloor before setting any shower base.
- Failed waterproofing behind old tile surrounds. Drywall with no moisture barrier was the standard in 1970s Southwest Ranches construction. By now the studs behind the tile are often soft or mold-stained. We strip to the studs, inspect every one, and install a modern waterproofing system like Schluter Kerdi before the first tile goes up.
- HVHZ compliance triggers once walls are open. Southwest Ranches sits in Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. When a remodel opens exterior-facing walls near a window, the inspector often requires impact-rated glass or shutter retrofits before signing off. We build that possibility into the estimate so it doesn’t blindside you mid-demolition.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Southwest Ranches
Does a bathroom remodel in Southwest Ranches trigger Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code requirements?
Yes, it can. Southwest Ranches is in Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and once a remodel opens exterior-facing walls near windows or doors, the building inspector can require impact-rated glass and proper opening protection before signing off. In our experience on Southwest Ranches ranch-style homes, this most often comes up when the bathroom shares a wall with an exterior window. We build that possibility into your estimate and write the change order if it becomes required. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your specific bathroom will likely trigger.
Why do bathroom remodel quotes in Southwest Ranches include an allowance for ‘drainage investigation’?
Because the water table out here sits 18 to 36 inches below grade, which is unusually high compared to most of South Florida. That means a subfloor repair, a drain-line move, or even relocating a toilet in a bathroom remodel can uncover water intrusion that requires dewatering or an engineered drainage redesign before work can continue. The drainage investigation allowance covers the cost of verifying what’s under your slab before we commit to a fixed number. It’s not a fee. It’s how we avoid surprising you later. Call us for the exact allowance on your job.
Are there special permit requirements for a bathroom addition attached to a barn or stable on a Southwest Ranches estate?
There can be, and this is where Southwest Ranches is different from every other Broward County town. The town is Broward’s only incorporated equestrian municipality, and its agricultural zoning overlay governs setbacks scaled for livestock use and classifies accessory structures under a separate ag-structure review path. A bathroom addition attached to a barn, stable, or riding arena may trigger that review even if a house addition would not. We’ve worked through this process before, and we’ll flag it early so your permit doesn’t stall. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free consultation on your specific layout.
How does Barrett & Sons handle hidden wiring or framing found during a Southwest Ranches bathroom remodel?
First, we inspect and document. Second, we write a change order. Third, we get your written approval before we touch it. On that 1974 Stirling Road home, we found knob-and-tube wiring, notched floor joists, and no moisture barrier behind the original tile. None of that was visible before demo. The client saw the photos, saw the line-item price, signed the change order, and we rebuilt the subfloor with pressure-treated plywood, installed a new 20-amp circuit, and repaired the load-bearing header before setting the new walk-in shower. That’s how we do it on every Southwest Ranches job. No surprise invoices. Ever.
Can you match the custom style of a Southwest Ranches equestrian estate in a bathroom remodel?
Yes. We’ve remodeled bathrooms in Southwest Ranches that run from clean modern linear tile to warmer wood-look porcelain that suits a ranch estate. We’ll pull the same brands found in higher-end South Florida homes, and we can match architectural details from your home’s existing millwork and hardware. Bring us a photo, a material sample, or a fixture you found online, and we’ll quote it in writing. Estimates are free. Call (877) 610-1318.
