AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across West Gate
A full bathroom remodel in West Gate, Florida typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000, depending on size, fixtures, and what’s hiding behind the walls. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been pulling permits and passing inspections in Palm Beach County long enough to know that a 1960s CBS home on a quiet West Gate street rarely surrenders its bathroom without a fight. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett will walk the job with you himself before anyone picks up a hammer.
But before we get to the numbers, here’s the thing every West Gate homeowner should know: your house was likely built before Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul, which means the County’s wind-load and roof-to-wall connection standards will shape almost every permit we pull. That’s not a headache for us. It’s the job. We’ve framed rough-ins in West Gate homes where the original strapping was little more than a suggestion, and we know exactly how the County inspector wants it fixed.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Gate’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call for a bathroom remodel in West Gate, you’re not getting a national brand’s revolving door of subcontractors. You get the same faces from estimate to final inspection, and they live close enough to meet you at the corner of Haverhill Road and Belvedere Road if something needs a second look.
West Gate sits in unincorporated Palm Beach County, which means permits and inspections run through the County’s Building Division, not a city hall down the street. County inspectors cover a sprawling multi-community territory, so a framing inspection that might take two days in West Palm Beach can stretch to four or five out here. We pad our schedules for that reality instead of promising timelines we can’t keep, and we’ve learned to batch inspections so you’re not stuck waiting through three separate county visits when two will do.
Every Barrett & Sons bathroom remodel in West Gate comes with the same written guarantee Tom put on his contracts in 1998: the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. His name, his address, and his license number are all published and verifiable. Ask anyone on your street, or look the license up yourself.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in West Gate
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in a West Gate CBS home usually runs $9,000 to $28,000. That covers demolition down to the studs, new waterproofing, new plumbing and electrical where needed, tile, vanity, tub or shower, fixtures, and trim. Because so many West Gate homes predate modern code, we frequently discover rotted sill plates and undersized vent stacks once the old tile comes off. Those fixes go into a written change order before we touch them, never as a surprise line item at the end.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in West Gate typically costs $4,500 to $12,000. We’re seeing more homeowners request barrier-free entries and built-in benches, especially in the modest 1950s-era bathrooms where a tub was originally the only option. With the county’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation, we also make sure any plumbing chases we open get properly sealed and insulated against the summer wet-season humidity that finds every gap.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a bathtub to a walk-in shower in West Gate runs $3,500 to $10,000. It’s one of the most requested changes for homeowners in the 33409 area who want easier access without sacrificing the bathroom’s footprint. The challenge in older West Gate slabs is rerouting the drain to meet current slope and venting requirements, and we’ve done enough of these to anticipate exactly what the county inspector will flag.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in West Gate ranges from $800 to $3,000, and full tile work can add significantly depending on square footage and material. We stock a range of options suited to South Florida’s humidity, including large-format porcelain that stands up to the June-October wet season. Every allowance, every fixture choice, every scope change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds, so you’ll never get a bill that doesn’t match what we agreed on.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Gate
We install brands you can look up, not mystery products off a van. In West Gate bathrooms, that often means Delta and Moen fixtures, Schluter waterproofing systems, and tile lines that hold up to constant humidity. Since we’re running jobs throughout Palm Beach County every week, parts and materials for West Gate projects are usually on hand or a supplier run away, so a broken valve or wrong-size niche doesn’t stall your remodel for a week. If you’re also thinking about the rest of the house, Windows & Doors in West Gate often gets bundled with bathroom work, since older openings frequently need re-flashing once we’re inside the wall.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in West Gate Homes
- Rotted bottom plates behind original tubs. Most West Gate CBS homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s, and the original tub surrounds rarely had modern waterproofing. By the time we demo, the bottom plate behind the tile is often spongy and needs replacement before the county inspector will pass the rough-in.
- Undersized bathroom vent stacks. Many original West Gate plumbing systems were designed for much fewer fixtures than today’s code requires. A new double vanity or second shower often triggers an upsize, which is written into your change order before we cut a single pipe.
- Wind-load deficiencies exposed during wall work. Since bathrooms in older West Gate homes sit on exterior walls, opening them up often reveals missing hurricane straps or weak roof-to-wall connections. Palm Beach County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules require we address those before closing the wall.
- Slab plumbing repairs in ground-floor bathrooms. West Gate homes are mostly slab-on-grade, and rerouting or repairing drains means concrete cutting and patching. We handle it, but you deserve to know the floor will be opened before we start, and that the repair is written into your scope.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in West Gate
How long does a bathroom remodel take in West Gate?
A standard full bathroom remodel in West Gate typically takes three to five weeks, with county inspection scheduling in unincorporated Palm Beach County adding several days compared to nearby municipalities with their own inspectors. We batch inspections and pad our timeline up front so the finish date we quote is the finish date you get. Call (877) 610-1318 for a project-specific timeline in your part of West Gate.
Does Barrett & Sons pull permits for bathroom remodels in West Gate?
Yes, we pull permits and schedule inspections through Palm Beach County’s Building Division on every eligible bathroom remodel in West Gate. Since West Gate is unincorporated, the county inspector covers a large territory, and we coordinate directly with them so you don’t have to. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way.
How much does a small bathroom remodel cost in West Gate?
A small bathroom remodel in West Gate typically runs $5,000 to $12,000, depending on whether you’re keeping the existing footprint and how much repair the original framing and plumbing need. The number moves most when we open walls in a 1960s CBS home and find conditions the previous homeowner never saw. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, our estimates are free.
Will the price change once work starts on my West Gate bathroom?
Not without your signature. Every Barrett & Sons bathroom remodel in West Gate comes with allowances and scope in writing, and any change that affects price is issued as a written change order before work proceeds. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and you will not get one from us.
Do you offer a warranty on bathroom remodeling in West Gate?
Every bathroom remodel we complete in West Gate is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. Our crew members are background-checked and wear the Barrett & Sons name, and Tom’s address and license number are published so you can verify who you’re hiring before you sign anything.
