If you live near Bird Road or Coral Way and you’re tired of looking at cracked tile, a jalousie window that steams up the mirror, or a shower pan from the Nixon administration, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what it costs and how long it takes.
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. We know Westwood Lake’s homes because we’ve worked on plenty of them: single-story CBS ranch houses from the 1960s and 1970s, solid block walls, and plumbing chases that don’t always cooperate with modern fixtures. That local knowledge matters when you’re opening up a wall and you don’t want surprises. We pull permits on every eligible job, we put every price change in writing before work moves forward, and we’re one call away if something isn’t right.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is the Right Choice for Your Westwood Lake Bathroom
We’re not a franchise that sends strangers to your door. Tom Barrett puts his name, address, and license number on every contract and every truck. You can look us up before you sign anything, and plenty of homeowners around Westwood Lake already have. When you call, a live person answers, day or night. That’s not a call center in another state; it’s our people.
Westwood Lake homes share a common set of problems: original cast-iron drain lines, tile set over drywall that was never meant for a wet room, and vanities that have swelled and delaminated after forty years of South Florida humidity. We’ve torn out enough of these bathrooms to know what hides behind the walls before we touch a single tile. That’s why we write scope in clear language, itemize every allowance, and issue a written change order for any adjustment. You’ll know what’s happening before it happens, not after.
Our crews carry the Barrett & Sons name. They’re background-checked, uniformed, and they show up when we say they will. If something isn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back. We’re twenty minutes from most addresses in Westwood Lake, and if there’s a problem, we want to hear about it.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Westwood Lake
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Westwood Lake usually means gutting the space down to the block and rebuilding it properly. We replace the pan, the waterproofing, the plumbing, the electrical, and the finish surfaces, and we do it in a way that meets Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements where they apply to the structure. If you’re in an older CBS home near the lake’s drainage basin, we’re particularly careful about moisture barrier details and slab leveling before new tile goes down. This is the full scope, and it’s the one that changes how the room feels every morning.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Westwood Lake typically runs $4,500 to $12,000, and it’s one of the most common projects we do for homeowners who want to age in place. Curbless entries, linear drains, and tile that won’t get slick when the humidity climbs in August. We’ll discuss the bench height, the showerhead placement, and the grab-bar blocking that’s easier to install now than retrofit later. If your bathroom is on the smaller side, a walk-in shower can open up floor space you didn’t know you had.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Most Westwood Lake homes built in the 1960s and 1970s came with a cast-iron tub, and after sixty years, that tub has earned its retirement. A tub-to-shower conversion costs between $3,500 and $10,000 and changes the way you get ready every day. We handle the demolition, the valve replacement, the waterproofing, and the tile, and we pull a permit so the inspector signs off on the work. No hidden surprises at the end, just a shower that drains properly and a pan that won’t leak into the ceiling below.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the room doesn’t need a full gut; it needs a vanity that’s not falling apart, tile that isn’t cracked, and a faucet that doesn’t drip. Vanity installation in Westwood Lake runs $800 to $3,000 depending on size and whether we’re reworking the plumbing. We carry premium brands like KraftMaid for vanities and Cambria for countertops, materials you can look up and verify rather than mystery boxes off a van. New tile, new fixtures, and a fresh coat of paint can turn a tired bathroom into one you don’t mind using.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westwood Lake
Homeowners around Westwood Lake ask us about specific brands, and we’re glad to talk about them. We install windows from Simonton, PGT, and CGI - names that meet Miami-Dade’s strict NOA requirements for wind-load performance. If your bathroom window faces the lake and catches the afternoon storm winds, an impact-rated unit from PGT or Simonton makes a real difference. Having local crews working in Westwood Lake means we can get materials quickly and schedule around the rainy season instead of fighting it.
Beyond windows, our Bathroom Remodeling team works with tile, glass, and fixture lines we trust. We’re glad to show you samples or point you toward suppliers we’ve used for years. You’ll know exactly what’s going into your home and why.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Westwood Lake Homes
- High water table and moisture intrusion. Westwood Lake sits on the eastern edge of the Everglades, so the water table is only two to four feet below grade in many spots. Slab bathrooms here often show efflorescence on the block walls and spalling around the pan; we address the moisture source, not just the stain.
- Aging cast-iron drain lines. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s around 33165 frequently have original cast-iron waste lines that are corroding from the inside. When you open the bathroom for a remodel, that’s the time to replace what’s accessible rather than paying twice later.
- Jalousie windows that leak and fog. Old jalousie windows are charming in a retro way, but they’re not sealed, not energy-efficient, and not up to HVHZ code. Replacing them during a bathroom remodel solves moisture, mold, and privacy concerns in one step.
- Shower pans that predate modern waterproofing. Many original Westwood Lake bathroom pans were built without proper slope or membrane systems. The result is slow leaks that eat the subfloor and the ceiling below. We rebuild pans with modern waterproofing and a proper drain assembly.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Westwood Lake, FL
Here’s what you should expect to pay in Westwood Lake, based on the work we’ve done in the 33165 area:
| Project | Typical Cost in Westwood Lake |
|---|---|
| Full Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |

What shifts the price in Westwood Lake more than most places is the HVHZ compliance requirement and the moisture conditions. Windows and structural fastening need Miami-Dade NOA approval, which adds cost and lead time compared to markets outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. The shallow water table also means we may need to address slab leveling or moisture sealing before finish work begins. Those aren’t optional add-ons we invent; they’re conditions of the building envelope here. We explain what’s required, what’s recommended, and what it costs before you commit.
