Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Isle of Normandy’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that work on Isle of Normandy homes. That matters on an island where half the houses were built before anyone thought about waterproofing slab edges or ventilation in a humid, salt-blasted climate. When we open up a 1950s bathroom on this island, we expect to find corroded cast-iron drain lines, spalled concrete behind the tile, and moisture that has been quietly working its way through hollow-core block walls for decades. We’re not surprised by it, and our pricing accounts for it honestly.
Ask a neighbor about us, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number on every contract and estimate. That’s a habit from 1998 that has never changed. The L.O.C.A.L. values code we run on, which stands for Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal, is not a poster in the office. It describes how the crew behaves when the permit inspector shows up on a Normandy Isle job site. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, as Tom says, and that is exactly why he wants that inspection scheduled.
Isle of Normandy customers call us because they have already been burned by a national company that quoted one number on the phone and handed them another bill at the door. We do not do business that way. Every scope item, every allowance, every change is delivered as a written change order before a single nail moves. A bathroom remodel on Bay Drive should not become a story about surprise invoices. It becomes a bathroom you’ll use for twenty years.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Isle of Normandy
From the bungalows off Normandy Shores Golf Course to the condos along the western edge of the island, we handle the full range of Bathroom Remodeling work. Here are the services most often requested in Isle of Normandy.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel on the island means going down to the studs and the slab, fixing what the salt air and groundwater have done, then rebuilding with materials that can handle a Biscayne Bay environment. We move plumbing, upgrade the drain lines, replace the subfloor if needed, and repair spalled concrete before the new tile goes in. Most full remodels in Isle of Normandy take two to four weeks depending on what we find behind the walls.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Isle of Normandy runs $4,500-$12,000, and it is the most popular upgrade for older island bathrooms that still have a cramped tub-shower combo. We use solid-surface or large-format porcelain panels to reduce grout lines, because grout in this humidity is where mold starts. A curbless entry is a real possibility in many of these homes if the slab allows it, and we’ll tell you honestly whether yours does.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
At $3,500-$10,000, a tub-to-shower conversion is the fastest way to make a mid-century Isle of Normandy bathroom feel bigger and easier to enter. Many of these homes have the original cast-iron tubs from the 1950s and 1960s, and getting them out usually means some drywall and plumbing work. We handle the whole thing, including the permit and the final inspection.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation on the island runs $800-$3,000, and we install name-brand cabinetry that you can look up before we order it. Tile work is quoted by the square foot after we see the condition of your walls, because older CBS homes here often need a moisture barrier and wall flattening before tile can be set properly. Fixtures from brands like Kohler and Delta are what we stock and warranty.

Trusted Brands We Service in Isle of Normandy
Barrett & Sons carries materials that are built for a salt-air island. When it comes to bathroom windows, exhaust fans, and any glazing in a remodeled bathroom, we work with PGT impact-rated windows and Simonton products that meet Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That matters on an island where a summer storm is not a hypothetical. We also keep common replacement parts and hardware for these brands in our Miami stock, so an Isle of Normandy job does not stall waiting on a truck from Georgia.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Isle of Normandy Homes
After nearly three decades of opening up bathrooms on this island, here is what we expect to find before we even pop the first tile:
- Corroded cast-iron drain lines. Salt-laden Biscayne Bay air does to cast iron what road salt does to a car in Ohio. If your 1950s home still has original drains, expect to replace the trap and possibly more.
- Concrete spalling and rebar carbonation. Hollow-core CBS walls from the 1940s through the 1960s hold moisture against the steel reinforcing. Before new tile goes up, the damaged block often needs repair.
- Groundwater and slab moisture. With the water table only 18 to 24 inches below grade on this barrier island, a bathroom slab that never dries out is the norm. Proper waterproofing and a vapor barrier are not optional here.
- Out-of-code electrical and venting. Original bathrooms rarely had GFCI protection or an exhaust fan that actually vented outside. Both are required corrections on most of our permitted Isle of Normandy remodels.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Isle of Normandy, FL
