AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lighthouse Point
A full bathroom remodel in Lighthouse Point runs $9,000 to $28,000, and most jobs we take on are finished in three to six weeks depending on scope. That’s the number and the timeline you should be working from before you call anyone. If you live off NE 31st Court or anywhere along the finger canals, give Tom Barrett a call at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the space with you and put a real number on paper.
We’ve been remodeling bathrooms in Lighthouse Point long enough to know that the houses here aren’t like the houses ten minutes west. The salt air off the Intracoastal gets into everything. A bathroom remodel in Lighthouse Point isn’t the same job as one in Coconut Creek, and any contractor who prices it that way is going to hand you a surprise invoice before the grout is dry. Our Bathroom Remodeling team specs hardware and waterproofing for canal-front conditions from the first line item, not as a change order later.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look it up before you sign anything. That’s the point. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to your house; Tom and his sons run the crews, and they’re the ones you’ll see at the hardware store on Saturday.
Lighthouse Point homeowners call us because we answer the phone like a neighbor, not a call center. A live person picks up 24/7. When you call about a leaking shower pan off Cap’s Island or a tub-to-shower conversion near the Hillsboro Inlet, you’re talking to someone who knows the streets, the building department, and the salt-water fastening specs before you finish describing the problem. We’ve earned a strong local reputation in 33064 by doing what we said we’d do, in writing, every time.
Every job we start in Lighthouse Point includes permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible scope. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him. And every scope change, every allowance, every price adjustment arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lighthouse Point
These are the jobs Lighthouse Point homeowners call us about most often. Each one gets the same treatment: written scope, written allowances, written change orders, and materials you can look up by name.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in Lighthouse Point typically runs $9,000 to $28,000. On a 1960s CBS ranch near Lighthouse Drive, that means tearing out the original tile, re-roughing plumbing, and rebuilding with marine-grade fasteners and waterproof substrates that can handle the salt air. We don’t cut corners on what’s behind the wall. You can’t see it, but the rust will find you in two years if it’s wrong.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Lighthouse Point runs $4,500 to $12,000. If you’re in a mid-century canal-front home, we’ll spec a Schluter waterproofing system and stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners from the start. That’s not an upgrade here. It’s baseline. The uncoated steel a builder used in 1972 won’t survive another remodel cycle, and we won’t reinstall failure.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Lighthouse Point runs $3,500 to $10,000. Older ranches along the finger canals often have original 2-inch vent stacks that were undersized even in 1975. We re-rough the drain and vent to current Broward County code, then build the shower pan with the water table in mind. During the June through October wet season, that water table sits 18 to 24 inches below grade. Skip it and your tile cracks within a year.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Lighthouse Point runs $800 to $3,000. We carry premium brands across every trade: Schluter for waterproofing, Grohe and Sterling for fixtures, and Cambria if you want a named surface. You can look up every material we install. Nothing off a mystery van. If you’re replacing builder-grade finishes in a newer Lighthouse Point home, we’ll tell you honestly what’s worth upgrading and what’s fine to leave alone.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We install Grohe and Sterling fixtures, Schluter waterproofing systems, and GAF roofing materials when a bathroom remodel touches a leaking roof penetration. Every brand we carry is one you can research yourself before you sign. We keep common parts stocked for local jobs, and when something’s got to be ordered, we schedule the rough-in around it so you’re not living without a bathroom for an extra week. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name on the truck every visit.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Rust bleeding through canal-front grout. Uncoated steel fasteners and standard zinc-coated screws corrode fast within 500 feet of salt water. We see rust staining tile and grout in Lighthouse Point bathrooms 18 to 24 months after an inland contractor “saved money” on hardware. The fix is hot-dipped galvanized or stainless from the first screw.
- Shower pan heave during wet season. The water table in Lighthouse Point sits 18 to 24 inches below grade, higher from June through October. Starting a shower pan or curb pour during that window without accounting for groundwater is how you get slab movement and cracked tile. We schedule ground-level work around the season and the water table, not the other way around.
- Variance stalls on finger-canal lots. Lighthouse Point’s narrow, deep finger-canal plats create rear setback conflicts when you try to bump out a master bath. If the 25-foot seawall setback overlaps your rear yard setback, you need a city variance before a footer goes in. That process adds 6 to 10 weeks. Out-of-area GCs don’t price that in; we do, in writing, before you sign.
- Builder warranty voided by a careless contractor. Newer Lighthouse Point homes often have builder warranties that specify what can and can’t be touched. A contractor who doesn’t read the warranty language can void your coverage on a brand-new master bath. We review the warranty docs before we open a single wall.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Lighthouse Point, FL

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Lighthouse Point
Yes, if your bump-out crosses the rear setback or the 25-foot seawall setback, you’ll need a city variance before a footer is poured. We handle that paperwork as part of the written scope, and we tell you about the 6-to-10-week timeline before you sign anything. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your lot dimensions against the current setback map for free.
On a canal-front Lighthouse Point remodel, Broward County code and good sense both require hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners, and stainless steel hurricane straps behind wall cavities. Standard zinc-coated hardware corrodes within months in the salt air off the Intracoastal. We spec the right metal on every line item from day one, and we don’t make you ask for it.
Read your warranty language first, then call us. Many builder warranties in Lighthouse Point’s newer construction spell out which plumbing, electrical, or structural components are off-limits and which require a licensed contractor sign-off. We review your warranty docs before we open a wall, and we flag anything that could void coverage and hand you a written change order if the scope needs to shift. Estimates are free.
A tub-to-shower conversion in Lighthouse Point runs $3,500 to $10,000, and the added cost versus inland Pompano Beach or Deerfield Beach is the marine-grade hardware, the waterproofing substrate, and the re-roughing of undersized vent stacks that inland estimators don’t see. If an inland quote strips those line items out, your shower fails faster. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact written quote.
Usually yes. If the existing shower pan is sound and the curb is intact, we can often install a frameless glass enclosure directly over the existing substrate without cutting into the slab. But we won’t know until we inspect the pan, the curb, and the fastening points. On a canal-front 33064 home, the glass hardware has to be stainless, and the curb has to be waterproofed correctly. We’ll tell you the truth about your specific bathroom. Free estimate, no trip charge inside the county.
One More Thing About Lighthouse Point Bathrooms
Here’s the part most Broward bathroom pages won’t give you. Lighthouse Point was master-planned in the 1950s and 60s as an almost entirely canal-front community, which means most mid-century CBS homes sit within 500 feet of salt water. That changes the default on every bathroom remodel. Hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners, marine-grade fixtures, and waterproof substrates aren’t upgrades here; they’re baseline requirements. An estimator from inland Pompano Beach or Deerfield Beach treats those as optional line items and quotes you a price that doesn’t include them. Then the rust shows up, or the grout stains, and the invoice gets bigger. We price Lighthouse Point work for Lighthouse Point conditions from the first line item. That’s the difference between a quote you can trust and a surprise waiting for a date.
On a finger-canal lot off NE 31st Court, our crew gutted a 1972-built ranch’s original two-bath layout and found undersized 2-inch vent stacks and corroded steel hurricane straps behind the tub surround. We re-roughed both baths with stainless straps, upgraded to a Schluter waterproofing system, and installed a walk-in shower with named fixtures, all signed off by Broward County inspection before the walls were closed. That’s the standard every bathroom in this city should be held to.
If you’re in Lighthouse Point and you’re thinking about a bathroom remodel, call Tom Barrett at (877) 610-1318. We’ll walk the space, put everything in writing, and tell you the truth about what your house needs. Free estimate. No trip charge inside the county. And if it’s not done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is on the contract, not buried in fine print.
