AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across North Palm Beach
Most bathroom remodels in North Palm Beach fall between $9,000 and $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions running $3,500 to $10,000 and walk-in shower installations at $4,500 to $12,000. Those numbers reflect the reality of working in a mid-century village squeezed between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, where salt air, hurricane codes, and 1960s-era concrete block construction all shape what a bathroom job actually costs. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve spent 29 years learning exactly how those three forces collide on the job sites of North Palm Beach. If you’re planning a remodel, call Tom Barrett at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate before you commit to anything.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we say someone will be on site in North Palm Beach, that someone carries the Barrett name and answers to it. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from an out-of-state call center. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and Tom himself lives close enough that he’ll see you at the hardware store on a Saturday.
North Palm Beach homeowners regularly tell us the same story: some national outfit quoted one price over the phone and showed up with a different number at the door. That doesn’t happen with us. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job, because we’ve seen too many North Palm Beach remodels stall in the village permit queue when a contractor tried to skip that step. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why I like him. Ask anyone on your street, or look up Tom’s license number yourself, it’s published right on our paperwork.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in North Palm Beach
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in North Palm Beach typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on square footage, whether we’re moving plumbing, and what Palm Beach County’s substantial improvement rules require. Many of the original 1960s CBS ranch homes along the village’s finger canals need electrical panel upgrades before a permitted remodel can pass inspection. We factor that into the written estimate before work starts, not after.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in North Palm Beach runs $4,500 to $12,000. Homeowners in the 33408 ZIP are increasingly converting tubs into curbless, low-threshold showers as they plan to age in place. Frameless glass enclosures hold up better than framed aluminum in this salt-laden air, which matters when your bathroom window faces the Lake Worth Lagoon corridor.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in North Palm Beach runs $3,500 to $10,000. These jobs move fast because we’re usually working within the existing footprint. The catch in this village: many original bathrooms have terrazzo floors that homeowners want preserved, and cutting into them to move a drain line requires a conversation about sub-slab plumbing that most out-of-town contractors won’t have until the project is already torn apart.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in North Palm Beach runs $800 to $3,000, tile work depends on square footage and material, and fixtures range from builder-grade to high-end. We stock premium brands like KraftMaid and Cambria so you’re not settling for mystery brands off a van. Salt air is hard on cheap chrome and thin-veneer cabinetry, so we spec materials that hold up five blocks from the water.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
We carry brands you can look up: Simonton windows when a bathroom remodel expands to include an impact-rated opening, PGT for coastal impact compliance, and Cambria for quartz vanities that won’t warp in humidity. If you’re replacing a jalousie window that Palm Beach County’s 170+ mph design wind speed no longer allows, we’ll get you into a compliant impact-rated unit without turning a five-figure bathroom job into a surprise. We also handle Roofing in North Palm Beach and Windows & Doors in North Palm Beach if a leak or old opening is part of what’s driving your remodel in the first place.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Undersized electrical panels. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s along the Intracoastal corridor often have 60-amp or 100-amp panels. When a permitted bathroom remodel crosses certain cost thresholds under Florida’s substantial-improvement rules, the panel needs upgrading, and we’ll tell you that on day one, not midway through the job.
- Terrazzo floors that homeowners want kept. The original terrazzo in North Palm Beach ranch homes is beautiful and irreplaceable. We work around it whenever possible and tell you honestly when a drain relocation makes preserving it impossible.
- Salt-air corrosion on plumbing and fasteners. Living five blocks from the Lake Worth Lagoon means everything metal degrades faster. We spec stainless and marine-grade fasteners on bathroom plumbing jobs that would use standard materials inland, and that difference shows up as a line item on your written estimate, not a fuzzy “premium materials” upcharge.
- Jalousie windows that fail impact codes. If your bathroom remodel touches an exterior wall, and that wall has an original jalousie window, the village and the county will require an impact-rated replacement. We budget that in writing before work begins so the inspection doesn’t become a fight.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in North Palm Beach, FL
A full bathroom remodel in North Palm Beach runs $9,000 to $28,000. A small bathroom remodel, typically a powder room or a compact hall bath, runs $5,000 to $12,000. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000, shower replacement $3,000 to $8,500, tub-to-shower conversion $3,500 to $10,000, and vanity installation $800 to $3,000. What moves the needle: whether we’re relocating plumbing, whether the panel needs upgrading, whether a jalousie window has to be replaced with impact glass, and whether the home sits on the water side of US-1. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, so every one of these gets put in writing before work starts.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in North Palm Beach
Bathroom remodeling in North Palm Beach typically costs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full remodel, with smaller jobs like tub-to-shower conversions running $3,500 to $10,000. North Palm Beach’s position in the high-velocity hurricane zone and its aging 1960s housing stock add costs that inland Palm Beach County jobs don’t carry. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact written quote, free of charge.
No, and any contractor who tells you otherwise is setting you up for a problem when you sell. Palm Beach County’s substantial improvement rules and the village’s permit requirements apply to nearly every bathroom remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural elements. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job because the inspector works for you, not for me.
Yes. We work throughout the 33408 ZIP, from the canal-front homes along the Intracoastal finger canals to the inland ranch neighborhoods built during the village’s original master-planned construction between the late 1950s and the 1970s. If you’re on the water side of US-1, we already know we’re budgeting for salt-air materials and possibly helical piers if structural changes are involved.
North Palm Beach homes sit almost entirely within the Intracoastal Waterway corridor, which means hurricane wind codes, flood-zone elevation compliance, and salt-air material specs all apply at once. A bathroom remodel in Lake Park a mile west might not need the same corrosion-resistant fasteners or impact-rated window replacement that a canal-front North Palm Beach home requires. We explain every line item in writing so you see exactly where the money goes.
Yes. Every bathroom remodel we complete carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. That’s not a fine-print promise; it’s the whole reason we put our name on the truck and our address and license number on paper. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.
