AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lehigh Acres
Most bathroom remodels in Lehigh Acres run between $9,000 and $28,000, and the smartest money goes toward a contractor who documents every allowance and every change in writing before work starts. If you live in the 33973, 33974, 33976, or 33936 zip codes, you’re probably driving past vacant grid lots most mornings, and you already know this area builds differently than Fort Myers or Cape Coral. Barrett & Sons Construction has worked with Lehigh Acres homeowners long enough to know what those differences mean for your bathroom, your foundation, and your final bill. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put a real number on your remodel, free of charge.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lehigh Acres’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re the owner-operated alternative to the big outfits that quote one price on the phone and show up with another. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that would walk through your door. When a Lehigh Acres customer calls, a live person answers, not a voicemail box in another state. If something isn’t right when we’re done, our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract, and one call brings Tom back. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name and license information because he wants you to verify who you’re hiring before you sign anything.
We answer calls from Lehigh Acres every day, from Buckingham Road over to the eastern grid sections near the drainage canals. That local familiarity matters when we have to check Lee County finished-floor elevation requirements or coordinate with utility crews on a lot where the water and sewer locations aren’t what the plat map claims. We’ve handled both 1960s CBS block homes and mid-2000s production builds, including plenty of post-Hurricane Ian renovation work, so the surprises that catch out-of-town contractors don’t catch us.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lehigh Acres
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut and rebuild in Lehigh Acres typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and on older CBS homes we’re often working around concrete block walls that don’t forgive lazy layout changes. Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles walls, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, tile, and fixtures under one contract, with permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I like having him on the job.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Lehigh Acres runs $4,500 to $12,000, and for a lot of our customers it’s the highest-value upgrade in the house. We install Schluter waterproofing systems because this county’s humidity punishes shortcuts, and a failed shower pan in a slab-on-grade Lehigh Acres home means demolition, not just drywall repair. Expect a waterproofing detail that holds up to Florida moisture decades after the warranty expires.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower runs $3,500 to $10,000 in Lehigh Acres and keeps the same footprint while opening the room. We see this request often from the 50-to-70 crowd who’ve decided they’re done stepping over a tub wall every morning. It’s a straight-forward job on most CBS layouts, but we still put the scope in writing, the allowances in writing, and any change order in writing before a single nail moves.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
If you’re keeping the layout but replacing the vanity, tile, and fixtures, you’re looking at bathroom vanity installation from $800 to $3,000 and backsplash-style tile work in the $800 to $2,500 range, depending on material. We carry Grohe and Sterling fixtures and can coordinate with your existing plumbing without tearing out walls. In Lehigh Acres homes built during the 2000s boom, we often find undersized supply lines behind cheap builder vanities, so we check what’s back there before we install anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lehigh Acres
We install Schluter waterproofing, Grohe fixtures, and Sterling surrounds because those are names you can look up and verify, not mystery products off a van. If you already have your heart set on a particular brand, tell us on the first call and we’ll write it into the scope. We also handle Roofing in Lehigh Acres and Windows & Doors in Lehigh Acres, so if your remodel expands beyond the bathroom, you don’t have to juggle three separate contractors and three different sets of excuses.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lehigh Acres Homes
- Flat, low-lying slabs and poor drainage. Lehigh Acres sits on flat terrain with a high water table, and the eastern sections drain slowly. Bathroom floor tiles that look fine on top can hide moisture problems underneath, especially after Hurricane Ian’s inland flooding.
- Original 1960s and 70s CBS bathrooms with cast-iron pipes. Those original concrete block homes often still have cast-iron drain lines that are rusting from the inside out. A bathroom remodel is the right time to replace what’s behind the wall, not just what’s in front of it.
- Mid-2000s production homes with builder-grade everything. The boom-era homes in Lehigh Acres were built fast and often sat empty or half-finished after the crash. We regularly find cheap plastic supply lines, shortcuts behind shower surrounds, and venting that never worked right from day one.
- Vacant-lot infill builds with uncertain utility locations. Because this grid was platted decades before utilities reached every section, we routinely pull permits on lots where water, sewer, or septic setback requirements are still uncertain. That coordination is part of the job here in a way it isn’t in Fort Myers.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Lehigh Acres, FL
Here’s what we’re seeing across Lehigh Acres right now, and these are real numbers we’d put on a written estimate. A full bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. A smaller bathroom, like a powder room or a guest bath, runs $5,000 to $12,000. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000, a tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000, and a shower replacement runs $3,000 to $8,500. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000. What moves you through those ranges is the square footage, the condition of what’s behind your walls, whether you’re moving plumbing or keeping the layout, and the materials you pick. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, so we write every allowance into your contract before demolition starts. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, written, line-item estimate so you know your exact number before you commit.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Lehigh Acres
Most Lehigh Acres bathroom remodels in the $9,000 to $28,000 range can be scheduled within two to four weeks of a signed contract and permit approval. Lee County permit turnaround varies, but once permits are in hand, a standard bathroom gut-and-rebuild takes roughly three to six weeks depending on scope. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a timeline in writing along with your estimate.
Yes, we serve the full Lehigh Acres area, including the 33973, 33974, 33976, and 33936 zip codes and the outlying eastern grid sections near the drainage canals. Those eastern lots sometimes require extra coordination with utility crews or septic and well considerations, and we factor that into your written scope up front. No surprise fees at the end, because the change order goes on paper before the work happens.
Bathroom remodel pricing in Lehigh Acres runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full job, which generally tracks with the wider Lee County market, but slab-on-grade and older CBS construction quirks can move your number within that range. The flat terrain and high water table here mean we spend more time on proper moisture barriers and waterproofing details than a contractor working on a pier-and-beam home elsewhere. We price that work honestly up front, and every allowance is in writing.
Yes, the 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every completed Barrett & Sons bathroom remodel in Lehigh Acres, and it’s written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If something isn’t done right within that window, one call brings Tom back to make it right. We don’t hide behind voicemail or out-of-state call centers, because Tom lives twenty minutes away and if something’s wrong, he wants to know about it.
We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible bathroom remodel in Lehigh Acres, because the last contractor most people used told them permits were optional. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and his sign-off is your protection against shoddy work hiding behind new tile. We’ll handle the paperwork and the inspection schedule, and you’ll see the permit number before demolition starts.
