Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Tamarac
Bathroom remodeling in Tamarac, FL typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. Those are real numbers for this market, not national averages. The catch in Tamarac is that most homes here were built between 1965 and 1982 as CBS villas and single-story concrete block houses, so a bathroom remodel often means opening walls that were never designed to be opened. That’s where we come in. Call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before anything gets torn out.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Tamarac’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, not a voicemail box. We’re the Bathroom Remodeling team that shows up with a name on the truck and a license number you can look up before you sign anything.
Tamarac is a specific kind of market. Most of the housing stock in the 33321 ZIP is CBS construction with shared villa walls, governed by HOAs that have opinions about what you can and can’t change. We’ve worked enough bathrooms in Tamarac’s villa communities to know that a tub-to-shower conversion on the wrong side of a party wall can get a stop-work order slapped on it before the plumber finishes gluing up. We coordinate HOA notification and Broward County permitting up front, because that’s the order the city wants it in. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens, and every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Tamarac
We scope every bathroom remodel in Tamarac with the same starting question: what’s behind those walls, and what does the HOA need to sign off on first? Here’s what we handle most often in this city.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Tamarac means gutting a 50-year-old space down to the studs, correcting whatever moisture or drain issues we find, and rebuilding with materials that can handle South Florida humidity. We’re talking waterproofed subfloors, properly sized drains, and fixtures that won’t corrode in the salt-laden air that pushes in from the Atlantic. Tom’s crew members are background-checked and uniformed on every visit, and they’ll leave the job site clean enough that your neighbors won’t have anything to complain about.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Tamarac runs $4,500-$12,000. That range includes removing an old tub or stall, rebuilding the shower pan, waterproofing everything from the subfloor up, and installing tile, glass, and fixtures. In Tamarac’s villas, this job often involves opening a shared CBS wall to move a valve or drain line. We shore the wall, notify the adjacent owner, get the HOA’s sign-off, and only then pull the permit. That sequence isn’t optional here. It’s the law.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is one of the most popular upgrades in Tamarac’s 55+ communities. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500-$10,000, and it makes sense for homeowners who want easier step-in access without relocating the drain. The common failure mode we see is this: a contractor swaps the tub for a shower but leaves the original 1980s undersized drain line in place. The shower drains slow, water pools, and the inspector signs off because the city doesn’t camera the line. We do it right the first time, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise catches anything we miss anyway.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Tamarac runs $800-$3,000 depending on whether you’re doing a drop-in replacement or a custom piece with Cambria quartz. We carry named brands across every trade, so you’re not getting mystery materials off a van. Tile work gets waterproofed properly for a climate where the water table sits inches below the slab during wet season. Fixtures get sealed and mounted with corrosion-resistant hardware, because the humidity here eats cheap anchors within a few years.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
We install and service Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling and Grohe fixtures, and Cambria quartz on our vanity work. When we put a Schluter membrane under your shower, you can look it up. When your Grohe valve needs a cartridge replacement, we can source it locally, not tell you to call someone else. That’s the difference between a contractor who stands behind the work and one who’s hoping the materials outlast the warranty period.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Shared villa walls and HOA sign-off delays. In Tamarac’s attached villa communities, structural work on a party wall requires notifying the adjacent owner and getting HOA board approval before Broward County will issue the permit. Skip that step and the city issues a stop-work order, often with a fine.
- Groundwater in the rough-in trench during wet season. Tamarac sits on drained Everglades flatland. From June through October, the water table can rise within inches of the surface. Any excavation below grade needs dewatering planning or the trench fills with water and the inspector rejects the slab before your plumber can finish.
- Old undersized drain lines. Many original bathrooms in Tamarac’s 1965-1982 housing stock were built with 1.5-inch tub drains. A walk-in shower needs a 2-inch drain under current Florida Building Code. We replace the line, not just the fixture.
- Original single-pane jalousie windows. Tamarac’s older homes still have aluminum jalousie windows that leak air, corrode, and fail current wind-uplift requirements. If your bathroom has one, a remodel is the right time to swap it for an impact-rated unit, which we handle under permit.

Working on a Tight Tamarac Lot: Staging, Access, and Keeping the Neighbors Onside
Most Tamarac villa lots don’t have room for a 30-yard dumpster and a work truck. We stage materials tight and schedule demo debris removal the same day, so nothing sits curbside past the HOA’s stated window. Parking is on the street or in the designated guest spots only. Our crew members know the drill: no blocking mailboxes, no parking in the fire lane, no leaning materials against the neighbor’s wall.
On a villa remodel off NW 57th Street, we had to shore a shared CBS wall to move a vanity rough-in. Our crew coordinated with the adjacent unit’s owner plus two HOA committees before we could pull the Broward County permit. The original slab had moisture wicking up through the old terrazzo, so we waterproofed the subfloor before setting a Kohler walk-in shower and Cambria quartz vanity top. That’s what working in Tamarac actually looks like. It’s slower than a demo-then-ask-questions approach, but the job gets signed off and the neighbor still waves at you at the mailbox.
Noise and work-hour ordinances get enforced in Tamarac’s planned developments. We sequence loud demo for mid-morning, not 7 a.m., and we keep the garage door closed when we’re cutting tile indoors. Access affects the quote: if we can’t get a truck close to the unit or the HOA requires a specific dumpster location, that’s reflected in the written estimate up front, not as a surprise invoice at the end.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Tamarac
Yes, if your bathroom remodel touches a shared wall, exterior penetration, or any structural element, you need HOA approval before Broward County will issue a permit. Most Tamarac villa communities require written notice to the adjacent owner and a board or committee review. We handle this paperwork for you. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific HOA requires.
Tamarac sits on former Everglades flatland with a water table that can rise within inches of the surface during the June-October wet season. If your remodel involves relocating drain lines or opening the slab, the excavation needs dewatering pumps or the trench fills with groundwater and the inspector rejects the work. A contractor who doesn’t mention dewatering has probably never worked in Tamarac’s older CBS housing stock.
We shore the shared CBS wall before any demo work begins, then coordinate with the adjacent owner and the HOA before pulling the permit. This is a legal requirement in Tamarac’s attached villa communities, not a courtesy. We’ve done enough tub-to-shower conversions here to know exactly which HOA committees need what paperwork, and we keep the neighbor informed throughout the process. For an exact quote on your unit, call (877) 610-1318.
Yes, and you should. Original jalousie windows in Tamarac’s 1965-1982 homes fail current wind-uplift requirements and leak humid outside air into the bathroom. Replacing one during a remodel requires a permit in Broward County, and if your villa’s exterior wall is affected, HOA approval too. We pull both, install an impact-rated window, and pass the inspection before the job is done.
Plan for three to six weeks from start to finish. A small bathroom remodel in Tamarac runs $5,000-$12,000, but the timeline is driven by permit and HOA processing, which can take one to three weeks before demo even begins. We sequence the work so that the down time while the city reviews is spent ordering fixtures and scheduling inspections. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written timeline on your specific project.
