AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Davie
A full bathroom remodel in Davie typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. Most projects take two to four weeks depending on whether you’re doing a tub-to-shower conversion or reconfiguring plumbing in a 1960s CBS ranch. We answer the phone in person, and we’ll give you a line-item quote before any work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Davie isn’t like Plantation or Pembroke Pines. The town legally protects its equestrian zoning and horse-trail easements, which means a bathroom remodel here can intersect with agricultural overlay permitting in ways other contractors never see. We’ve been working those dual-track permits long enough to know exactly which questions to ask before the first demo hammer swings. That’s the difference between a remodel that passes inspection and one that sits stalled with a stop-work order taped to the door.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Davie’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable, and his sons run the crews. When you call, you get a live person, not an out-of-state call center. When you sign a contract, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on it: if something’s not right, one call brings Tom back.
Davie homeowners deal with a specific set of conditions: 1960s to 1980s concrete block and stucco homes, many built before Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 code overhaul, sitting on low-lying land with a water table that runs high after summer storms. We’ve remodeled bathrooms off Griffin Road, along SW 61st Avenue, and throughout the 33314 zip code. We know what those slabs look like when they’re saturated, and we know what wind-load paperwork a bathroom window or exhaust vent needs in an HVHZ-rated home.
Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him. No surprise invoices at the end. No mystery brands off a van. Just a name you can look up, a face you’ll see at the hardware store, and a bathroom that’s done right.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Davie
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Davie usually means taking a 40-year-old ranch bathroom down to the studs and rebuilding it, including plumbing, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and ventilation. Many of these homes have cast iron drain lines that have bellied or cracked under the shifting soil common to Everglades-adjacent lots. We pull permits through the Town of Davie and Broward County, replace the rough-in, and build back with Schluter waterproofing systems that handle South Florida humidity without sweating into the drywall.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Davie runs $4,500 to $12,000. We set low-threshold curbs and properly sloped subfloors, which matters on the high water table here. A shower pan that isn’t sloped correctly on a saturated 1960s slab will pool water and crack tile within a year. We use Schluter Kerdi membrane and slope the mud bed before tile goes down.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower in Davie costs $3,500 to $10,000. For homeowners on fixed incomes or planning to age in place, a low-threshold shower with a fold-down seat and grab blocking is often the single most useful change they can make. The plumbing side gets interesting here: we’ve found original tub drains tied into old clay lines that bellied under horse paddocks. That’s a Davie-specific problem, and we know how to reroute it correctly with PVC and proper slope.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Davie runs $800 to $3,000, and we carry premium brands like Sterling and Grohe. If you’re replacing a vanity in a 1970s CBS home, we check what’s behind the drywall before we order the cabinet. Some of these walls hide corroded shutoff valves or old galvanized nipples that need replacing while the wall’s open. Better to know before the vanity arrives than after it’s set.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We install Schluter waterproofing, Sterling fixtures, and Grohe valves. We use named brands because they carry documented wind-load and moisture ratings that matter when a Davie inspector checks the permit file, and when your insurance company reviews the upgrade later. If a part fails, you order it by name from a supplier in Broward County, not from a discontinued catalog. That’s the practical advantage of premium-brand depth. It’s also why our Bathroom Remodeling team stocks common replacement parts locally instead of waiting on a truck from another state.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Waterlogged 1960s slabs. Davie sits on historically low-lying ground with an extremely high water table. After summer thunderstorms, standing water saturates the soil under older homes. Contractors who set a new shower or vanity without checking the subfloor for moisture get tile cracks and mold inside a year.
- Skipped agricultural overlay review. If your bathroom drain line crosses a horse-trail easement or runs near a barn, the Town of Davie requires a dual-track permit review. Out-of-town contractors miss this, get a stop-work order, and rip out rough-in that was already inspected. We pull both tracks from the start.
- Wind-mitigation documentation dropped from bids. A bathroom window or exterior exhaust vent in an HVHZ-rated home needs proper wind-load documentation. Cheap bids leave that paperwork out. You won’t find out until an insurance review asks for it, and by then the wall’s closed up.
- Cast iron and clay drain lines. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s often have original cast iron rough-in that’s corroded from decades of South Florida groundwater contact. We’ve replaced more of these than we can count across Davie, often where the line had bellied under a paddock or driveway.

What moves the number: whether we’re moving plumbing, whether the existing drain line is cast iron that needs replacing, whether the subfloor needs leveling or repair after years of moisture, and whether your property sits on the horse-trail grid and needs the agricultural overlay review. You’ll get all of that in writing before we start. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Davie
Yes, if your property has horse-trail easements or agricultural structures like barns or paddocks, the Town of Davie requires a dual-track permit review. The residential building code and the agricultural overlay both apply, especially when bathroom drain lines cross easements or tie into stormwater routing near equestrian structures. We pull both tracks. Most Plantation or Pembroke Pines contractors don’t know the agricultural overlay exists until the stop-work order shows up. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your property before we quote.
Davie is in Broward County’s high-velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ), so any exterior penetration, including a bathroom window or vent, must meet HVHZ wind-load ratings and be documented for the permit file. That documentation matters later if you file an insurance claim or apply for a wind-mitigation premium discount. We include that paperwork as standard, not as a line item that appears later. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask us to check your existing setup.
The high water table means the subfloor under your shower needs to be checked for saturation before any waterproofing or tile work starts. If the slab is waterlogged from summer storms, we level and seal it first. A shower set on a saturated slab will crack tile and grow mold within a year. We rebuild the subfloor properly before the Schluter membrane goes down. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule an inspection.
Yes. Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed by the Town of Davie and Broward County. The final signed inspection is your documentation that the work met current code, and it’s what your insurance company will want if you ever file a claim or seek a premium reduction for wind-mitigation upgrades. We hand that to you when the job closes. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your specific project.
A change order is just a written record of a scope change. If a contractor says they don’t use them, that’s a red flag. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We issue a written change order before any scope change touches the job, so the price on paper is the price on the final invoice. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote that won’t change unless you agree to the change in writing first.
What Makes Davie Bathroom Remodeling Different
We rebuilt a 1970s CBS ranch bathroom off SW 61st Avenue where the original tub drain tied into an old clay line that had bellied under the horse paddock. Our crew pulled permits through both the Town’s agricultural overlay and Broward County’s plumbing division, replaced the cast iron rough-in with PVC, and set a low-threshold walk-in shower on a properly sloped subfloor so stormwater from adjacent stalls couldn’t back up into the bath. That’s a job a generic Bathroom Remodeling company would have quoted blind, and fixed twice.
That’s the thing about Davie. The equestrian zoning isn’t a quirk; it’s the governing reality of the town. Horse-trail easements run through residential neighborhoods. Agricultural structures sit next to ranch homes. A bathroom remodel’s plumbing and drainage tie into the same stormwater routing that serves the paddocks. If a contractor doesn’t understand that connection, you’ll find out when the inspector flags the rough-in or the drain backs up after a storm. We pull the permit through both tracks the first time. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
If you’re planning a walk-in shower, a tub-to-shower conversion, or a full bathroom remodel in Davie, call (877) 610-1318. We’ll give you a line-item quote, pull the right permits, and stand behind it with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. Written on the contract. Not in fine print.
