AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Cooper City
A full bathroom remodel in Cooper City typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with walk-in shower installations starting around $4,500 and tub-to-shower conversions beginning near $3,500. Those are real numbers from jobs we’ve priced in the 33328 ZIP code, not national averages dressed up to look local. If you live near the C-11 canal or in one of the 1970s tract-home neighborhoods off Stirling Road, your remodel will run into conditions most out-of-town contractors never plan for. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the job with you before quoting anything.
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s crews work Cooper City every week. We know what’s behind these walls before we open them. That matters more here than almost anywhere else in Broward County.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cooper City’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Cooper City was built fast between the late 1960s and early 1990s on drained Everglades wetland. The homes are concrete block, the slabs sit on fill over organic muck, and the water table is twelve to eighteen inches below grade. A remodel here is not the same job as a remodel in Davie or Pembroke Pines, and a contractor who treats it that way will hand you a change-order bill the size of the original quote. We don’t work that way.
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. His sons run the crews. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, day or night. The customers who recommend us in Cooper City tend to mention the same things: written change orders before any scope change, permits pulled on every eligible job, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back. One call.
We’re the Bathroom Remodeling team that does the inspection first, writes allowances into the contract, and prices surprises in writing before a single nail moves. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the only way to remodel a pre-1994 Cooper City home without the job going sideways.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Cooper City
Full Bathroom Remodeling
Most full remodels in Cooper City involve opening walls in homes built before Florida’s 1994 code overhaul. That means old wiring, undersized framing, and waterproofing that failed years ago. We scope the job expecting those conditions, write allowances for them, and bring the work up to current code as part of the permit. In the Rock Creek and Forest Lake neighborhoods, we regularly find original cast-iron drain lines that have to come out before new tile goes up.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Cooper City runs $4,500 to $12,000. The wide range exists because some slabs have settled unevenly from the organic peat beneath the fill. We inspect the slab before quoting, because a shower pan installed on a settling slab will crack. If leveling or a mud bed correction is needed, it goes into the scope before permits are pulled, not as a surprise later.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Cooper City costs between $3,500 and $10,000. These are popular with homeowners who want to age in place, and they’re particularly practical here because the original tub surrounds in 1970s and 1980s homes often hid failed waterproofing behind the tile. We include a vapor barrier or drain mat where the high water table is wicking moisture through the slab. Most contractors skip that step. We don’t.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation ranges from $800 to $3,000, and we carry premium lines including Sterling, Grohe, and Schluter waterproofing systems. Tile work in Cooper City bathrooms has to account for Florida humidity and the moisture that rises through slab foundations. We use Schluter uncoupling membranes on floors where the slab shows signs of movement, and we specify Grohe fixtures for homes near the canal where mineral content in the water is higher.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cooper City
We install and service the brands Cooper City homeowners actually ask for: Schluter for waterproofing, Sterling for tubs and shower bases, Grohe for fixtures, and GAF for any roof work tied to a remodel project. We stock the common replacement parts locally, so a warranty call on your Grohe valve or Sterling shower base doesn’t mean waiting two weeks for a shipment. When you’re in the middle of a remodel and the rough-in inspection is scheduled, that speed matters.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Cooper City Homes
- Pre-1994 wiring and framing: Homes built before Hurricane Andrew don’t have the hurricane strapping and electrical grounding current code requires. Open a wall, and the permit triggers upgrades. We write allowances for this so you’re not blindsided.
- Slab settlement from organic subsoils: The muck and peat under Cooper City’s fill compresses unevenly over decades. A settled slab will crack a new shower pan or vanity top. We inspect and level before finish work.
- Moisture wicking from the high water table: Homes near the C-11 canal network show moisture rising through the slab. Without a vapor barrier or drain mat, mold grows behind new tile within a few years. We add the barrier as standard practice.
- Failed waterproofing behind original tile: Builder-grade waterproofing from the 1970s and 1980s was often green board and mastic, which fails in Florida humidity. We strip to the studs and rebuild with Schluter systems rated for wet areas.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Cooper City, FL
Here’s what we quote in the 33328 ZIP code. These are line-item ranges, not a vague “it depends.”
| Scope | Cooper City Price Range |
|---|---|

What moves the number is almost always what’s behind the walls. A 1978 original bathroom on a settled slab with cast-iron drains will land at the top of the range. A 1998 guest bath with a modern electrical panel and intact waterproofing will come in lower. Either way, you get the number before we start, and every change is a written change order before work proceeds. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We also honor the permanent Senior & Veteran discount of 10% on every job.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Cooper City
Because the original scope didn’t account for what’s inside a pre-1994 Cooper City home: old wiring, undersized framing, rotted subfloor from failed waterproofing, or cast-iron drains at the end of their life. We reduce that jump by writing allowances into the contract before demo starts, so the “surprise” was already priced and approved. On a 1980s three-bedroom near the C-11 canal, our crew opened a master bath wall to install a walk-in shower and found the original subfloor rotted three feet out from the tub. We wrote the repair into a change order, got signed approval that day, replaced the rotted section, and passed the plumbing rough-in inspection before any tile went up. Call (877) 610-1318 if your current quote has no allowances in writing.
In most Cooper City homes, yes, if plumbing fixtures move or waterproofing is replaced. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we pull them on every eligible job. A vanity swap may not require one, but moving a drain line or altering a wet wall does. We’ll tell you plainly before you sign anything. The inspection sign-off is the only proof the work was done to code, and it’s the reason our homeowners sleep well after the walls are closed.
Because Cooper City sits on drained Everglades muck with a water table twelve to eighteen inches below grade. Slabs settle unevenly from the organic peat beneath the fill, and a new shower pan set on a settling slab will crack at the corners. We inspect the slab before quoting, and if leveling is needed, it goes into the scope before permits are pulled. Call (877) 610-1318 for an inspection and a written estimate.
An allowance is a written dollar amount set aside for a known unknown, like the condition of the framing behind the original tile or the state of the cast-iron drain line. We write allowances into every Cooper City contract because these homes were built before 1994, and what’s inside is predictable but not visible until we open the wall. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Ours are on paper, and every draw against an allowance is a written change order before work happens.
We write it, you read it, you sign it, then the work happens. Never the other way around. Every scope change, every allowance draw, every price adjustment arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s been our process since 1998, and it’s the reason Cooper City homeowners who were burned by other contractors tell us the change-order paper trail was the best part of the job. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate, and ask us to show you a sample change order before you sign.
