AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Tamarac
Bathroom remodeling in Tamarac typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut-and-replace, with tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Most Tamarac villas and single-story CBS homes were built between 1965 and 1982, which means we’re usually working with original cast-iron drain lines, single-pane windows, and slab-on-grade floors that need a different approach than newer construction. If you’re in the 33321 ZIP code and tired of looking at a bathroom that hasn’t changed since Nixon was in office, call Tom Barrett’s team at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We know Tamarac’s HOA rules, its high water table, and its building codes because we work here every week.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Tamarac’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons in 1998, and his sons still run the crews that show up in Tamarac today. This isn’t a franchise operation. The people who walk your job site are the same names on the side of the truck, and Tom answers his own phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a call center in another state.
We publish Tom’s name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Tamarac homeowners have been through enough with contractors who quote one number on the phone and present a different number at the door. Every scope item, every allowance, and every price change from our team arrives as a written change order before any work starts. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible bathroom remodel in Tamarac, no exceptions.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, and we carry premium brands like Schluter, Kohler, and Grohe. When we finish a bathroom in a Tamarac villa or single-family home, you get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the deal, and it’s on the contract.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Tamarac
We’re a full-service Bathroom Remodeling team, but the jobs we see most often in Tamarac are the ones that make an immediate difference in a 50-year-old home. Here’s what we handle:
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We gut the space down to the studs, address any water damage or corroded anchor bolts we find, and rebuild with proper waterproofing, new fixtures, and finishes that hold up to South Florida humidity. In Tamarac’s older CBS homes, we often uncover issues behind the walls that no one has seen since the original build. We handle those with written change orders, not surprise invoices.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Tamarac runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, tile, and whether we’re relocating the drain. For older homeowners who grew tired of stepping over a tub wall, a curbless or low-threshold shower makes daily life easier. We install Schluter waterproofing systems and frameless glass enclosures that fit the compact footprints typical of Tamarac’s villa bathrooms.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is our most requested job in Tamarac. The original tubs in 1970s villas and single-family homes are often cast iron or fiberglass set in a five-foot alcove. A tub-to-shower conversion in Tamarac runs $3,500 to $10,000, and the final price depends on whether we keep the drain in place or move it. Keeping the original drain location usually saves money and speeds up the permit process, but we’ll tell you honestly if moving it is the better long-term choice.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Tamarac runs $800 to $3,000. We work with KraftMaid cabinetry and Grohe fixtures, materials you can look up and verify before they’re installed. For tile, we recommend porcelain over natural stone in Tamarac bathrooms because of the humidity and the movement of older slab foundations. The wrong material choice in this climate leads to cracked grout lines and loose tiles within a few years.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
We install and service Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling tubs and shower bases, Kohler fixtures, and Grohe plumbing trim. These aren’t mystery brands off a van. When you choose a Kohler valve or a Schluter drain assembly, you can research it yourself and know exactly what’s going into your home. We keep common parts accessible for Tamarac jobs so a fixture replacement or valve swap doesn’t stall the schedule longer than necessary.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Original cast-iron drain lines. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often have cast-iron waste pipes that have rusted from the inside out. In a bathroom remodel, we’ll scope the drain line and give you a straight answer about whether it needs replacing before we close up the walls.
- Corroded anchor bolts in CBS block walls. Salt-laden air from the Atlantic pushes inland across South Florida, and Tamarac’s older concrete block homes often have embedded anchor bolts and rebar that have corroded. Reusing those bolts fails current wind-uplift code, so we check them when walls are open and replace them with proper epoxy-set anchors.
- Slab moisture and high water table. Tamarac sits on former Everglades flatland. During the June through October wet season, the water table can rise within inches of the surface. Any slab repair or drain relocation needs a dewatering plan in the quote. If a contractor skips that line item, the excavation floods and the job stops.
- HOA and party-wall complications. Tamarac’s planned-unit developments with attached villas share walls between units. Structural bathroom work, especially drain relocations and plumbing rough-ins on a shared wall, often requires neighbor notification and HOA approval layered on top of Broward County permits. Miss that step and the association can issue a stop-work order.

Working on a Tight Tamarac Lot: What Actually Matters
Most Tamarac homeowners live in one of two setups: a single-story CBS home on a modest lot, or an attached villa in a planned-unit development. Both come with constraints a contractor from outside the area won’t think about until it’s too late. Villa work almost always involves HOA permit layering. Broward County issues the building permit, but the association has its own approval process, and structural work on a shared wall often legally requires notifying the adjacent neighbor’s ownership. That’s not a suggestion. It’s in the governing documents. We’ve seen stop-work orders issued because a contractor skipped that step, and the homeowner paid for the delay.
Parking and staging matter too. Some Tamarac communities have narrow streets and assigned parking. We coordinate material delivery times and keep the job site clean, not just because it’s polite but because an HOA violation can trigger fines or work restrictions. When we quote a bathroom remodel in Tamarac, access and parking are part of the estimate. If your villa has a tight turnaround or a community gate with restricted hours, we plan around it before the first day of work.
We once remodeled a bathroom in a 1970s villa off West McNab Road. The crew found original single-pane jalousie windows and a flat low-slope roof that pre-dated Broward’s 1992 wind code overhaul. The bathroom scope expanded when we discovered inadequate tie-beam details and undersized overhangs, which required engineered wind-uplift corrections alongside the tub-to-shower conversion. We coordinated HOA approval and neighbor notification for the shared-wall fixture changes, then finished with a Kohler walk-in shower and frameless glass enclosure on a tightened punch list. That’s what working in Tamarac actually looks like.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Tamarac
Yes, in most Tamarac planned-unit developments you need HOA approval for any bathroom remodel that touches plumbing, structural walls, or shared elements. This applies on top of the Broward County permit. Failure to get HOA approval can result in a stop-work order and fines. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll help you understand what your specific association requires before you sign anything.
Dewatering is a line item because Tamarac’s water table rises within inches of the surface during the wet season, and if your remodel involves slab repair or drain relocation, the excavation will flood without a pump plan. Contractors who don’t know Tamarac leave this out of the quote and then hit you with a change order when the hole fills with water. We include it up front because we know the ground here.
Homes built from 1965 to 1982 in Tamarac typically have cast-iron drain lines, single-pane windows, and no hurricane straps or clips. Plumbing rough-ins and window replacements may need current-code upgrades, and corroded anchor bolts must be replaced with epoxy-set anchors before walls close. We factor this into the estimate so there are no surprises when the walls come open.
The process starts with a Broward County permit for plumbing and any structural work, plus HOA approval if you live in a Tamarac villa or planned community. We pull the permits, open the walls, replace the drain and valve, then schedule inspections at rough-in and final. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s the whole point of pulling permits in the first place.
Yes. Keeping the original drain location for a walk-in shower in Tamarac usually saves $1,500 to $3,500 in plumbing and slab work, and it speeds up the permit and inspection process. That said, sometimes the original drain is in the wrong place for a good shower layout, and moving it is the better long-term choice. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll give you a straight answer either way.
