Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his name is still on every truck. His sons run the crews. When you call for a bathroom remodel in North Palm Beach, you’re not getting a call center somewhere out of state. You get a live person, day or night, and a crew that knows what building inspectors in Palm Beach County are going to look for on a canal-front job.
We’ve worked in North Palm Beach long enough to know the homes. A 1965 CBS ranch off Lighthouse Drive doesn’t open up the same way a newer stucco build in the north end of the village does. Different wall systems, different plumbing rough-ins, different level of beachside corrosion on the old cast iron. That local knowledge is why people here call us back for a second job, and why our 90-Day Done Right Promise gets written on every contract instead of buried in fine print. Tom lives twenty minutes away. If something’s not right on your bathroom, he wants to know about it.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in North Palm Beach
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A complete bathroom remodel in North Palm Beach means pulling the old fixtures, opening the walls to check the rough-in, and rebuilding with materials that can handle this village’s salt-air conditions. We scope everything in writing: demo, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish. Every allowance is on paper before we cut into the first wall. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed, because the county inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested bathroom upgrade we do along the Intracoastal corridor in North Palm Beach. We replace old tubs and tight shower stalls with curbless entries, low profile pans, and properly sloped drainage that meets Palm Beach County code. Expect to pay $4,500 to $12,000 depending on whether we need to move the drain, reinforce the floor, or upgrade waterproofing to handle the humidity that moves through these older CBS homes.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in North Palm Beach typically runs $3,500 to $10,000 and usually takes three to five working days once permits clear. We remove the old tub, assess the subfloor, install a new shower base or mortar pan, and finish with tile or solid surface walls. On canal-front homes where the fill lot has settled over the decades, we check the floor slope before quoting. A shower that drains the wrong way is a call nobody should have to make a year later.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
For a partial refresh, a new vanity, tile, and fixture package in North Palm Beach runs $800 to $3,000 for the vanity alone, with tile and labor added on top. We install brands you can look up before you sign, and every line item lands on the proposal before we order anything. No mystery brands off a van. No vague allowances. If the tile is Cambria or the fixtures are Kohler, you’ll see those names written next to the price.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
The materials we install have to hold up in North Palm Beach’s particular environment. That’s why we carry Simonton and PGT for impact-rated window replacements that often come with a permitted bathroom remodel, and we stock direct from distributors who serve the Palm Beach County market, so backordered parts don’t stall your job for weeks. For glass enclosures, we work with frameless glass systems that install tight and stay clear even with the mineral content in this region’s water. Bring us the brand you want, or ask us what we’d put in our own house. We’ll be honest either way.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on old cast iron. The Lake Worth Lagoon is steps from the village. Years of salt-laced humidity eat through drain lines, shower pans, and even wall anchors. If your bathroom was built in the 1960s or 70s, the cast iron may already be paper-thin under the flange.
- Original 100-amp electrical panels. Many original CBS ranches in North Palm Beach still run on the panel they were built with. Add a heated floor and two GFCI circuits for a new bathroom and the county inspector will fail the rough-in until the service gets upgraded. We check panel capacity before we quote.
- Settled fill lots on canal-front property. Some homes along the finger canals were built on fill with shallow footings. A bathroom wall that’s out of square, a floor that rolls toward the tub, cabinets that pull away from the wall, all point to the same thing. On a big remodel, that can mean helical piers or grade-beam work, and that’s exactly why a geotechnical report belongs in the budget before the bid.
- Elevation issues that don’t matter until final inspection. A shower pan below base flood elevation on a canal-front lot fails the county’s floodplain review. Skipping an elevation certificate on the front end can turn a finished remodel into a tear-out that nobody wants to pay for twice.

What moves the number on a North Palm Beach bathroom remodel isn’t a mystery. Canal-front homes deal with the triple overlay: high-velocity hurricane zone requirements, flood-zone elevation compliance, and salt-air material specs. All three are written into Palm Beach County code. If the job triggers the substantial-improvement rule, expect the cost to climb. That’s not a price trick. It’s the code. We scope for all of it up front so your first proposal is your last surprise. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your bathroom and hand you a written, line-by-line estimate before you spend a dime.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in North Palm Beach
It depends on how much structure you’re moving, but if your home sits on one of the village’s original fill lots and you’re adding anything heavy, like a large tiled shower bench or a freestanding tub, we recommend one. Some canal-front ranches have settled enough over the decades that new point loads need a look. A geotechnical report costs money up front, but it’s far cheaper than discovering a settled corner after the tile is set. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll help you figure out whether your particular lot needs one before we quote.
No, and here’s why. In unincorporated Palm Beach County, which covers much of what people think of as North Palm Beach’s outlying acreage, a detached bathroom still needs a legal connection to an approved septic system or sewer line, and the county health department reviews the capacity before any permit gets issued. If you’re on a septic system sized for a three bedroom house, adding a bathroom to a detached outbuilding may push you over the limit. That’s exactly the kind of question we answer before you spend money on drawings. Get the septic capacity checked first.
The single biggest driver is the high-velocity hurricane zone requirement. Your bathroom remodel in North Palm Beach may well have to include impact-rated windows and uplift-rated fasteners whenever openings are touched, but the same work in, say, Royal Palm Beach or Wellington won’t carry that overlay. Add flood-zone elevation compliance on waterfront or even some canal-adjacent lots, plus the salt-air corrosion spec for any exterior-piercing hardware, and a North Palm Beach bathroom remodel can run fifteen to twenty-five percent higher than the same job inland. It’s baked into the code, not our markup. We put it all in the proposal so you can see exactly where each dollar goes.
When the cost of the remodel, including all labor and materials, exceeds 50 percent of the value of the structure (not the land), the county requires the entire structure to be brought up to current floodplain code. For a bathroom remodel, this typically comes into play only on older, lower-value canal homes or when a scope creeps upward with multiple bathrooms, a new master suite, or major structural repairs. But it can absolutely happen. That’s why we run the numbers on the front end before any proposal goes out. You shouldn’t find out about the 50 percent rule at final inspection.
Yes. A tub-to-shower conversion changes a plumbing fixture and usually involves opening walls, moving a drain, or altering the waterproofing envelope. All of that requires a permit in Palm Beach County. We pull permits and schedule inspections on every eligible job, including tub-to-shower conversions. The inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly how it should be. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and yes, the estimate is free.
