Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lake Worth Corridor’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We work differently than the outfits that quote one price on the phone and show up with another.

Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look it up before you sign anything.
Our Bathroom Remodeling crews are Tom’s sons and their teams, not dispatched strangers. They carry the Barrett & Sons name on the truck and on their uniforms, and they’re background-checked.

That’s written on every contract, not buried in fine print.
We know Lake Worth Corridor because we work here constantly. We know the CBS block homes off Lake Worth Road. We know the flat lots that drain toward the C-51 canal. We know the county inspection queue. That local knowledge changes how we scope a job before we ever quote it.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lake Worth Corridor
We handle the full range of Bathroom Remodeling in Lake Worth Corridor, from a two-day tub-to-shower conversion to a down-to-the-studs master bath. Here’s what most homeowners in the corridor call us for.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Lake Worth Corridor means different things depending on the age of your home. On a 1950s or 1960s CBS block house, we’re often replacing original galvanized or cast-iron drain lines while the walls are open, upgrading the electrical panel if needed, and bringing everything up to current Palm Beach County code. We scope that before we start, not after. Full remodels here typically run $9,000 to $28,000, depending on what’s behind the walls.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Lake Worth Corridor runs $4,500 to $12,000. If your lot sits in a FEMA AE or X-500 flood zone, we’ll talk to you about curbless shower pan heights and flood-vent requirements before we touch a tile. That’s the kind of thing a county inspector will flag, and we’d rather flag it for you first.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions are the most common bathroom job we do in Lake Worth Corridor. The postwar CBS homes here were built with tub-shower combos, and most homeowners over 50 want the step-over threshold gone. Conversions typically run $3,500 to $10,000. The wildcard is usually what’s under the slab: if the original cast-iron drain has corroded, the rough-in scope grows. We’ll tell you that before you sign, not after the jackhammer comes out.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Lake Worth Corridor runs $800 to $3,000, and we install what you pick, not whatever’s left in a warehouse. If you need help choosing, we’ll point you toward brands you can look up yourself. We also handle tile work, lighting, and fixtures on a standalone basis or as part of a larger remodel.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Worth Corridor
We carry materials from brands you can verify, not mystery stock off a van. For bathroom work in Lake Worth Corridor, we regularly install Kohler and Delta fixtures, and we can source Simonton and PGT impact-rated windows if your remodel includes bathroom window replacement. Because we work this corridor constantly, we keep relationships with local suppliers tight, which means shorter lead times on tile, glass, and shower systems. If you want a specific brand or a specific model, tell us and we’ll spec it in the written allowance sheet.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lake Worth Corridor Homes
Every neighborhood has its own failure modes. Here’s what we find in Lake Worth Corridor, house after house.
- Corroded cast-iron drain lines under the slab. Homes built from the late 1940s through the 1970s often have original cast-iron or galvanized waste lines. By now, many are rusted through. If we open the floor and find one, the scope changes, and we put that change in writing before we proceed.
- Vintage electrical panels that can’t handle modern demand. Heated floors, multiple lighting circuits, and outlet requirements add load. If your panel is an original Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, we’ll flag it early. Adding circuits to that panel without an upgrade can fail a county inspection.
- County permitting surprises. Lake Worth Corridor is unincorporated, so there is no city building department to call. Every permit, inspection, and certificate of occupancy runs through the county Permit Application Center in West Palm Beach. Contractors who don’t work the corridor often miss that and stall a rough-in for weeks.
- Flood zone freeboard requirements. Portions of the corridor sit in FEMA AE or X-500 zones. That can trigger flood-vent or slab-height requirements that push costs higher than a neighboring incorporated city would see.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Lake Worth Corridor
Yes. Because Lake Worth Corridor is unincorporated Palm Beach County, every permit and inspection runs through the county Permit Application Center in West Palm Beach, not a city building department. We pull permits on every eligible job and schedule the county inspections. The permit inspector works for you, not for me - that’s why I like him. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want us to handle it start to finish.
The original cast-iron or galvanized drain lines in 1960s CBS block homes are often corroded below the slab by now. If your bathroom remodel opens the floor and we find a rusted or leaking line, the rough-in scope grows. We identify that risk during the estimate walkthrough, not after demolition. For an exact assessment of your house, call (877) 610-1318.
If your lot is on septic and well rather than sewer, bathroom additions and some remodels must keep new plumbing a required distance from the drain field and well head. We check setbacks before we scope the job. That can shift where a bathroom sits or how we route the lines, and we put the adjusted scope in writing before work begins. Call (877) 610-1318 to find out what applies to your lot.
It can. Portions of Lake Worth Corridor sit in FEMA AE or X-500 flood zones, which can require flood vents or higher slab or shower pan heights. Those requirements aren’t optional and an inspector will catch them. We identify flood zone status for your address during the estimate and build any required adjustments into the written quote. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact figure.
Expect a scheduling buffer. County inspectors cover a much larger geographic queue than a dedicated city inspector would, so rough-in and final inspections can land later in the week than you’d see in Lake Worth Beach or Greenacres. We build that buffer into our project schedule and tell you about it up front. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your remodel.
One Thing to Know Before You Remodel in Lake Worth Corridor
Because Lake Worth Corridor is unincorporated Palm Beach County, a bathroom remodel here means every permit, inspection, and certificate of occupancy runs through the county’s Permit Application Center in West Palm Beach, not a local city hall. There is no city building department to call. That one fact changes how your project is scheduled and what it costs, and contractors who mostly work incorporated cities sometimes miss it. We don’t, because we work this corridor every week.
On a 1963 CBS-block ranch near the C-51 canal, our crew was called in for a tub-to-shower conversion where the original cast-iron drain line had corroded below the slab. We coordinated the county permit and inspection sign-off, scoped a full rough-in replacement with a Kohler walk-in shower, and worked around the homeowner’s septic tank setback to avoid moving the drain field. The result was a zero-leak shower with impact-rated glass and a final punch list cleared on the first county inspection. That’s the job we do, and that’s the outcome we plan for before we ever hand you a contract.
