Barrett & Sons Construction has worked in Lauderhill’s Sadkin-era neighborhoods long enough to know that a 1972 bathroom remodel is rarely just a cosmetic swap. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk your bathroom with you before we write anything down.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lauderhill’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett ran his first jobs out of a pickup truck in 1998, and his sons still run the crews today. When you call us about a bathroom in Lauderhill, you’ll talk to a live person, not a call center. We have been inside enough homes near West Ken Lark and the Inverrary area to know that the quote that matters is the one you get after the walls come open, not the one you got on the phone. We carry premium brands, we pull permits on every eligible job, and every change order is written and approved before work proceeds. No surprise invoices on punch-out day.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise is on every contract we write. If something isn’t right after we finish, Tom comes back and fixes it. One call. That promise means more in a city like Lauderhill, where pre-1992 construction and old plumbing lines turn remodels into real structural work. You want a name on the truck that answers the phone, not a franchise that hands your job to whoever’s closest.
If you’re shopping a written estimate, bring it to us. We offer a free second opinion on any written estimate, and there’s no trip charge inside Broward County. We also run a standing 10% discount for seniors and veterans, plus $40 off any repair over $200. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask Tom or one of his sons.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lauderhill
We handle the full scope of Bathroom Remodeling work, from a one-day vanity swap to a complete tear-out down to the block. Here is what Lauderhill homeowners ask for most.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Lauderhill means pulling everything to the studs, updating supply lines, correcting any insect or moisture damage around the old tub flange, and rebuilding to current Broward County code. On most 1960s-70s CBS homes, that also means a window conversation. If your bathroom has original jalousie windows, the building department will require hurricane-impact glass before final inspection. We price that in from the first estimate, not as a surprise after demo.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are one of the best upgrades for Lauderhill’s aging housing stock. They are easier to enter for homeowners in their 60s and 70s, and a properly waterproofed pan and Schluter-style membrane outlasts a fiberglass tub by decades. The catch in Lauderhill is the shallow water table. If we need to move a drain, we may be dealing with groundwater two to three feet below the slab. We plan for that before we cut concrete.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions in Lauderhill run $3,500-$10,000, and they are the most common request we get from homeowners who want to stay in their homes as they age. A low-threshold shower with a built-in bench and grab-bar blocking works better than a tub for most people over 60. We install all the blocking and reinforcement during rough-in so a future grab-bar installation does not mean ripping out tile. Permits included.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Lauderhill typically runs $800-$3,000 depending on whether we are doing a simple swap or a full cabinet-and-countertop build. We work with solid plywood boxes and real stone tops, not particle board. Tile and fixture work is quoted per square foot and per fixture, and you’ll see every allowance in writing before the first box of tile arrives. No “allowance friction” at the end. The allowance is on paper from day one.
We also do small bathroom remodels. Older Lauderhill homes often have a compact hall bath or a half bath off the carport that just needs a refresh, not a full rebuild. Those jobs usually run $5,000-$12,000. Call (877) 610-1318 for a real number on your specific bathroom.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes
- Corroded copper supply lines behind 1970s tile. A sixty-year-old copper line under slab can fail the city’s pressure test after your new tile is already up. We test before we close walls. If it fails, you know the cost before the tile saw fires up.
- Original jalousie windows triggering inspection failures. Broward County prohibits louvered glass under current hurricane-impact glazing rules. Leave the old window in, and you fail final. We write the replacement into the original scope.
- Flat-roof water intrusion around old tub surrounds. Lauderhill’s low-slope roofs pool water for hours after a summer storm. We check the rim joist and truss tails while the walls are open, then waterproof the shower pan correctly before tile.
- Shallow water table complicating drain moves. The old Everglades marsh under Lauderhill means water two to three feet below the slab. Moving a toilet or shower drain is not guesswork. We scope it, price it, and pump it if needed.

What moves a Lauderhill bathroom quote is what’s behind the walls: old copper supply lines, a window that has to go, a drain that fights the water table, rotted framing at the tub flange. That is exactly why we inspect before we quote and put every allowance in writing. You will never get a change order pushed at you after the tile guy leaves. The price is the price unless you approve a change in writing first. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate. We serve all of Lauderhill, including neighborhoods near West Ken Lark and Inverrary.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderhill
We don’t install brands we wouldn’t put in our own homes, and we don’t show up with mystery materials from a van. Depending on your project, we install Cambria quartz and KraftMaid cabinetry in bathrooms, plus Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers where the job ties into outdoor surfaces. If a Lauderhill homeowner wants a specific brand in their shower or on their vanity, we’ll source it and write it into the contract. You can look up every product before you sign.
The Lauderhill Remodel Reality: What Opening a 1972 Bathroom Actually Turns Up
Here is the part most contractors won’t tell you before you sign. In Lauderhill, almost every permitted bathroom remodel on a 1960s-70s Sadkin-era CBS home triggers a mandatory jalousie window replacement. Broward County prohibits original louvered glass under current hurricane-impact glazing codes. That means a scope expansion that doesn’t exist in neighboring cities with newer or mixed housing stock. A homeowner in Plantation with a 1995 home does not get hit with this. A homeowner near the Inverrary area in a 1972 home does. We plan for it from the first estimate. Not from the first change order.
We learned that lesson the right way. On a bathroom remodel in the 33310 zip near the Inverrary area, we opened a 1972 concrete-block home’s wet wall and found the original jalousie window framing was load-bearing for the flat roof. Not just an opening in the block. Our crew wrote the change order before touching it, priced the hurricane-impact window as part of the rough-in, and closed the permit with inspection sign-off after the new window and roof tie-downs were in. That is how Barrett & Sons works in Lauderhill. Scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him.
The same honesty applies to the water table. Lauderhill sits on former Everglades sawgrass marsh. Water is often two to three feet below grade. A tub-to-shower drain relocation might turn into an excavation and pumping job, not a simple pipe cut. We do not wait until the slab is open to discover that. We look at the lot, the drain location, and the grade before we write the quote. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
And we never close up walls over sixty-year-old corroded copper supply lines. We pressure test before tile. If the lines fail, you know the price to replace them before the tile saw fires up. That is the difference between a contractor who walks your job and one who quotes it blind from a truck window.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Lauderhill
Because Broward County prohibits original jalousie windows under current hurricane-impact glazing codes. If your 1960s-70s Sadkin-era home still has louvered glass in the bathroom, your final inspection will fail until it’s replaced. We write the replacement into the original quote so you never see it as a surprise change order. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that accounts for this before you sign.
Sometimes, yes. If the tile bed is sound and the waterproofing underneath is still intact, we can work around it. But on most Lauderhill bathrooms from the Sadkin era, the tile is set over a mud bed with no modern membrane, and the tub flange is leaking behind it. We’ll open a small section and show you what’s there before we recommend tear-out or preservation. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check it together.
It only matters if we have to move the drain or dig near the slab. Lauderhill’s shallow water table, often two to three feet below grade, can turn a drain relocation into an excavation and pumping job. A straight tub-for-tub swap rarely triggers it. A tub-to-shower conversion might. We scope the drain location before we quote so the price is real. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a look.
Because you’re modifying plumbing, electrical, or structural framing, and the building department wants to see the work before the walls close. In Lauderhill, a permitted remodel means the inspector verifies the supply lines hold pressure, the shower pan is properly waterproofed, and the window meets hurricane-impact code. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, that is a red flag. We pull permits on every eligible job and we stand next to the inspector when he signs off. Call (877) 610-1318 with questions.
For a typical 1970s Lauderhill bathroom, plan for 10-20% of the job cost as a written contingency for hidden conditions like corroded copper lines, rotted framing at the tub flange, or a required window replacement. We write the contingency into the contract as a defined allowance, not an open-ended blank check. Every dollar of it is accounted for in a written change order before we spend it. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your bathroom.
