Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across The Acreage
Bathroom remodeling in The Acreage typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full remodel, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. The two things that determine whether your job falls at the low or high end here are almost always the same: what shape your 1980s slab is in once we open the walls, and whether your property sits close enough to an ITID swale that we need a right-of-way permit before a dumpster can touch your grass. At Barrett & Sons Construction, we plan for both before we give you a number, so the price on your written estimate is the price you pay. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will walk the site with you and write up a line-item estimate you can actually read.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is The Acreage’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and from day one he has done something the national franchises won’t do: published his name, his address, and his license number where anyone in The Acreage can look it up. That sounds simple. It matters more than you’d think when you have been burned once already by a company that quoted one number on the phone and showed up with a different one at the door. Barrett & Sons is the opposite of that model. Tom’s sons run the crews. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not an out-of-state call center. And every scope change, every allowance, every price adjustment arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. No surprises at the end. Ever.
We work throughout 33412, from the big lots off Orange Boulevard to the older streets around 60th Street North and the neighborhoods hugging Northlake Boulevard. Homeowners here tend to know their neighbors and talk. Ask anyone on your street about the contractor they used last year, or look up our license number yourself. Tom lives close enough that if something is not right, he wants to know about it, and he will come back and make it right. That is not marketing language. It is the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract we sign in The Acreage.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in The Acreage
Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from a dated hall bath refresh to a full gut-and-rebuild master suite. Here are the services we do most often for homeowners in The Acreage.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel here means pulling a Palm Beach County permit, scheduling two inspections, and often clearing an ITID right-of-way permit if the material delivery or demolition dumpster has to sit along a roadside swale. We manage that entire sequence for you. The remodel itself covers layout changes, plumbing relocation, waterproofing, tile, cabinetry, fixtures, lighting, and finish work. In The Acreage, full remodels on 1980s CBS homes frequently run $12,000 to $28,000 because we budget for what we find behind the walls: DIY plumbing from the original build, slab depressions, sometimes a corroded cast-iron drain that should have been replaced a decade ago. Knowing that going in is the difference between a written price and a surprise invoice.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade we get in The Acreage, and for good reason. People in their 50s and 60s are thinking ahead about staying in this home for another 20 years, and stepping over a tub wall gets harder every year. We install curbless and low-threshold walk-in showers with hot-dip galvanized steel or stainless pans, marine-grade waterproof membranes behind the walls, and properly sealed joints rated for the humid, salt-tinged air that drifts west from the coast. A standard walk-in shower install in The Acreage runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, glass, and whether we are moving drain lines.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
If you have a standard alcove tub that nobody uses for baths, converting it to a walk-in shower is often the best return on your dollar. In The Acreage, tub-to-shower conversions run $3,500 to $10,000. That range accounts for the variance in what we find once the tub comes out: some 1980s slabs have enough slope already, while others need a re-pour to meet drain fall requirements under Florida Building Code. The work includes demolition, drain relocation if needed, new waterproofing, tile or solid-surface walls, and a framed or frameless glass enclosure.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
This is the part of the remodel where The Acreage’s climate actually picks the materials. Standard steel vanity brackets corrode fast in this humidity, so we specify stainless or marine-grade hardware. Unsealed cement board joints behind tile absorb moisture from the 18-to-24-inch high water table during the wet season and produce grout efflorescence and mold within two years. So we seal every joint with a marine-grade membrane before tile goes up. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in The Acreage. Tile work, fixture packages, and glass enclosures are priced as line items on your written estimate so you see exactly where every dollar goes.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Acreage
We stock and install brands you can look up yourself, not mystery materials off a van. In bathrooms, that means Kohler and Moen fixtures, Schluter waterproofing systems, and frameless glass enclosures measured locally. For hardscape work around the outside of the house, we use Cambridge Pavers and Techo-Bloc. We also install and repair Quikrete-based concrete flatwork when a bathroom remodel turns into a slab repair. The one brand name that matters most is Barrett & Sons Construction, because that is the name on the truck and the name Tom publishes with his license number. We carry parts and materials for The Acreage jobs out of the South Florida metro office, and scheduling is coordinated by real people who know you.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in The Acreage Homes
- Corroded cast-iron drain lines. On a 1980s CBS home off 60th Street North, we removed a garden tub that had caused a subfloor moisture failure. The rough-in inspection revealed the original cast-iron drain had been eaten through by the area’s seasonal high water table, so we replaced it with PVC and re-sloped the drain line before sign-off. If we had left that pipe in place, the new shower would have been leaking into the slab within a few years.
- Mold and efflorescence behind unsealed tile. The Acreage’s water table sits 18 to 24 inches below grade in a lot of places, and the wet season pushes it higher. Cement board backs that absorb that moisture without a sealed marine-grade membrane will produce grout discoloration and mold in under two years. We see it constantly, and most of the time the homeowner never knows it is happening until they smell it.
- Standard steel shower pans and vanity brackets rusting early. Salt air does not stop at the coast. It drifts inland over western Palm Beach County, and in ten years a standard steel shower pan or vanity bracket can corrode to the point of failure. We specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless hardware and marine-grade coatings on every bath remodel here.
- Delayed permits because of the ITID swale rule. Any project that touches or crosses a roadside swale, including a dumpster or a material laydown area, needs an Indian Trail Improvement District right-of-way permit before Palm Beach County will finalize the building permit. Out-of-area contractors forget this all the time, and their projects stall for weeks. We file that permit in the same week as the building permit so your schedule holds.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in The Acreage
A bathroom remodel in The Acreage almost always requires a Palm Beach County permit and two inspections: rough-in and final. On top of that, any project with a dumpster, material delivery, or staging area that touches or crosses a roadside swale needs an Indian Trail Improvement District right-of-way permit before the county signs off. That extra ITID step is what stalls projects for out-of-area contractors who do not know the area. We file both permits together, so the wait is measured in days, not weeks. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will check the ITID requirements for your exact street before we even schedule a walkthrough.
We use a marine-grade waterproofing membrane behind every tile surface, seal every cement board joint before tile goes up, and specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel pans and hardware. The Acreage’s high water table and salt-tinged air are the two things that destroy standard shower installations early, so we design for both from the first day. If you already have a mold problem in an existing shower, call us for a second opinion before you tear anything out. Estimates are free.
Yes, in most cases. A tub-to-shower conversion in The Acreage runs $3,500 to $10,000 and typically takes three to five working days once permits are approved. We demo the tub, move or re-slope the drain if needed, install new waterproofing and tile or solid-surface walls, and finish with a glass enclosure. The rest of your bathroom stays untouched. Call (877) 610-1318 to have Tom look at your alcove and tell you what is possible.
Standard steel brackets and fasteners corrode within about a decade in The Acreage because the humidity carries trace salt air inland from the coast, even this far west. Stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware costs a little more up front and lasts three times as long. We would rather see you spend $40 more on hardware now than pay for a vanity replacement in eight years. It is a small line item that makes a real difference in a bathroom that costs five figures to build.
We walk the finished bathroom with you, room by room, before the final inspection. You mark anything that is not right, on paper, and we fix it before we call the job done. Then the county inspector does his own walk. The inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we like him there. After sign-off, the 90-Day Done Right Promise takes over: one call brings Tom back, and if it is not done right, he makes it right. Call (877) 610-1318 now to schedule your free written estimate.
