Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Fort Myers’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run crews here in North Fort Myers. That’s not a marketing line. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published so you can verify exactly who you’re hiring before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
What separates us from the national outfits isn’t a slogan. It’s process. On every North Fort Myers bathroom job, Tom and his sons walk the site before quoting, and every price change during the project arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. No surprise invoices at the end. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
We’ve been through the post-Ian rebuild cycle here since the beginning. That means we know what the county’s looking for on a bathroom permit when a home sits in a reclassified flood zone, and we know how to keep a project moving when an elevation certificate is dragging. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, not a voicemail box and not an out-of-state call center. You’re calling someone who knows North Fort Myers.

For homeowners in the 33903, 33917, and 33918 ZIP codes, the distinction matters. It’s the difference between a contractor who’s rebuilt bathrooms off Del Prado Boulevard and one who’s plugging your address into a GPS from three counties away. We live with North Fort Myers permitting realities every week, and we’re not guessing at them on your dime.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in North Fort Myers
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A complete bathroom remodel in North Fort Myers means gutting walls, subfloor, fixtures, and drains, then rebuilding square and plumb. In the concrete-block homes along the river side of the 33903 ZIP, we regularly deal with slab-on-grade plumbing that hasn’t been touched since the original build. If Ian’s surge got into the walls, we find damage that never showed up on a walk-through. We write it down, we show you, and we price it in writing before we proceed.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in North Fort Myers runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on tile, glass, and whether we’re moving a drain. Many older North Fort Myers homes have 32-inch shower pans and undersized drains that need rework to hit current code. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspection, and we time the work so you’re not showering off a garden hose for three weeks.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion is the most requested bathroom job in North Fort Myers right now, especially in 55-plus communities where residents want to step in rather than climb over a tub wall. On a manufactured home, this isn’t a weekend swap. We’ll tell you that upfront. On a leased-lot manufactured home, we tell you what the park requires for contractor access, which parks don’t allow certain shower pan types, and we coordinate with community management so you’re not the one getting the letter. Pricing runs $3,500 to $10,000.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in North Fort Myers starts at $800 for a simple swap and climbs based on plumbing rough-in location. Tile work in older North Fort Myers bathrooms often means correcting out-of-square walls before the first tile goes up. We’d rather show you a straight wall than hide a bad one behind grout. Premium material options are available, and the permanent 10% senior and veteran discount applies to the whole job.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Fort Myers
We install products you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. On North Fort Myers bathroom jobs, we regularly spec PGT impact-rated windows in bathroom openings, Simonton windows where ventilation matters, and Ply Gem where a homeowner wants a specific profile. We keep local supplier relationships in Lee County, so material lead times are short and what we quote is what gets delivered. If a brand doesn’t hold up in Florida humidity, we don’t put it in a North Fort Myers bathroom.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in North Fort Myers Homes
- Storm surge damage hiding under finishes. On a concrete-block home near the river in 33903, we pulled a tub and found the subfloor rotted from surge water that had dried and left no visible trace. The owner had planned a surface-level remodel, but the scope had to change. That’s why we put everything in writing.
- Post-Ian 50% substantial damage threshold snags. If Ian damaged your home beyond 50% of pre-storm value, you may be legally required to raise the whole structure. A bathroom-only permit can be denied. We check before you spend money.
- Particleboard subfloor under manufactured-home tubs. Many 1960s-1980s manufactured homes in North Fort Myers parks have particleboard or particleboard-over-metal framing under the tub. A hidden leak turns that into pulp. Scope changes after demo, and out-of-area contractors never budget for it.
- Party-wall notice requirements on attached units. Older court and row-style housing along the river corridor triggers the county’s party-wall notice rules. Miss it and you’re getting a stop-work order and an angry neighbor. We handle the notification before demo starts.

What moves the number in North Fort Myers? Flood-zone elevation requirements are the biggest single factor. If your post-Ian rebuild needs a raised foundation or an elevation certificate tied to the permit, that work lands on the same budget as the tile. Manufactured homes on leased lots have their own rules, and we factor in park management coordination time. Every quote is free, every allowance is written down, and the permanent 10% senior and veteran discount applies to the entire project. Call (877) 610-1318.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in North Fort Myers
Yes, in many 33903 and 33917 homes with substantial Ian damage, the county will require an updated elevation certificate before it issues a building permit. If you crossed the 50% damage threshold, you can’t do a bathroom remodel of this type without addressing the elevation question. We’ll check your parcel status before you spend a dollar on tile. Call (877) 610-1318 to have us look it up.
Yes, and we do these all the time in North Fort Myers manufactured-home communities. The difference from a site-built house is that we work around the park’s contractor access rules, the subfloor material (often particleboard over metal framing), and the shower pan type the community allows. We’ll coordinate with park management directly. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look at the space.
Elevation comes first if your home crossed the 50% substantial damage threshold. We’ve done the sequencing on this in North Fort Myers: the elevation work happens first, then we bring the bathroom in behind it. If you start the bathroom before the raise, you’ll be tearing out work the county won’t sign off on. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll lay out the order of operations honestly.
Tight lots along the older river-corridor streets are the norm, and we plan for them before the quote. We stage along the curb only when permitted, use smaller containers on narrow lots, and share the schedule with your neighbors in writing when we’re blocking anything. We don’t dump materials on the neighbor’s property and wait for a complaint. That’s how a job dies in North Fort Myers. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the site before quoting.
A written change order system. Every scope adjustment, every allowance update, every price shift gets put on paper before work happens, so the invoice at the end matches what you approved along the way. No surprise invoices and no handshake math. That’s the Barrett & Sons standard on every bathroom job in North Fort Myers.
