AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Pelican Bay
A full bathroom remodel in Pelican Bay typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on the size of the space, the fixtures you choose, and whether walls or plumbing move. Most projects in Pelican Bay take four to seven weeks once the Architectural Review Committee signs off and the Collier County permit is in hand. The hold-up for most homeowners is not the construction. It’s the paperwork. We handle both tracks from day one, and you can reach us at (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Pelican Bay is not like other Naples-area communities, and you know that better than anyone. The Pelican Bay Foundation runs a second layer of approvals on top of Collier County building permits, and the Architectural Review Committee has a pre-approved palette of materials and finishes. Miss that list by one tile color and your project sits in limbo while a denial letter works its way back to you. We know the submittal calendar, we know the palette, and we know how to get informal Foundation staff feedback before finalizing design documents. That single step saves a full review cycle, which can mean three to five weeks of your life back. We are the Bathroom Remodeling team that walks your project through both approvals without you chasing a single form.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pelican Bay’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction was founded in 1998 and is owner-operated by Tom Barrett. Tom’s name, his address, and his license number are published and verifiable. That matters in Pelican Bay, where the Foundation wants to know exactly who is doing the work before they approve it. We have been through enough ARC submittals in Pelican Bay to know what gets approved, what gets kicked back, and how to write the packet so it clears on the first cycle. Tom and his sons are on-site most days, not a rotating cast of strangers.
Pelican Bay homeowners have told us the same story more times than we can count: a contractor quoted one price on the phone, started rough-in before the ARC letter was issued, and then handed them a stop-work order and a bill they never agreed to. Every price change at Barrett & Sons comes as a written change order before a single nail moves. Scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. And every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in the fine print. If something is not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our crews serve Pelican Bay locally, with scheduling and dispatch coordinated from our South Florida office. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail box, no out-of-state call center. You get a real person who knows Pelican Bay’s approval process, not a sales rep reading from a script.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Pelican Bay
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Pelican Bay typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, depending on the size of the room, the plumbing layout, and whether you are in a single-family estate or a high-rise condo tower along Gulf Shore Boulevard. Condos in the 1980s and 1990s towers are the most complicated, because the Foundation’s coastal palette restricts finishes and the flood-zone rules dictate what hardware can go into the walls. We pull the permits, we file the ARC application, and we stick to the approved list so the job does not stall.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Pelican Bay runs $4,500 to $12,000 for a typical master bath, more if you are converting a tub alcove in a beachfront tower with V-zone flood requirements. Salt air is relentless along the Gulf-facing corridor, and unprotected fasteners corrode within a season. We spec hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware on interior framing near the coast, which passes inspection the first time. This is not an upgrade we offer. It is the standard we build to in Pelican Bay.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Pelican Bay runs $3,500 to $10,000 and is one of the most popular projects in the aging condo towers, where original 1980s tubs are showing their age. The Foundation’s pre-approved palette includes specific porcelain tile lines and fixture finishes, and we work within those bounds rather than fighting them. We have seen too many homeowners order a beautiful tile that is not on the approved list and lose a month waiting for a denial letter. We check the palette before we order a single box.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Pelican Bay runs $800 to $3,000, not counting the vanity itself. We install premium brands across every trade, and we can point you toward fixtures that are already on the Foundation’s approved list. Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling tub and shower units, and Grohe fixtures are all ones we have used repeatedly in Pelican Bay with clean ARC approvals and no surprises at inspection.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pelican Bay
We install and service premium fixtures and materials so you are not stuck with mystery brands off a van. In Pelican Bay bathrooms, we regularly work with Schluter waterproofing, Sterling shower systems, and Grohe fixtures. These are brands you can look up, with published specs that satisfy the Foundation’s coastal requirements. We stock common replacement parts locally for Pelican Bay customers, which means a trim kit or cartridge does not need to ride a truck from another county when it fails.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Pelican Bay Homes
- ARC denials over off-palette materials. Specifying a tile or fixture color not on the Pelican Bay Foundation’s pre-approved list triggers a denial letter that delays the permit and adds weeks to the calendar. We check every finish against the palette before design documents are finalized.
- Stop-work orders from premature rough-in. Starting rough-in before the Architectural Review Committee letter is issued gets a stop-work order while walls are open and the shower valve is exposed to salt air. We sequence the work so approval lands first, then framing starts.
- Corrosion from standard fasteners. Using standard drywall screws or untreated wood blocking in a beachfront condo bathroom corrodes within a season and fails the Collier County inspection sign-off. We use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel fasteners on interior framing near the coast, which is what the coastal building code expects.
- V-zone flood regulations catching homeowners off guard. Beachfront towers in Pelican Bay sit in FEMA V-zone and AE flood designations, and the mechanical and electrical work in a bathroom remodel has to account for flood-resistant assembly standards that go beyond standard county minimums. We plan for those before the walls go up.

Here are the line-item ranges we give Pelican Bay homeowners before the first nail moves. These reflect the local market in Pelican Bay specifically, not a national average.

What moves the number: moving plumbing and drain lines costs more than a fixture swap; projects in the beachfront towers carry higher material and fastener specs for salt air and flood-zone compliance; custom glass enclosures and premium tile on the Foundation’s coastal palette add cost. What does not move the number: surprise change orders. Every allowance and every price change arrives on paper before work proceeds. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact line-item quote. Estimates are free, and if you have a written estimate from another contractor, bring it in. We will give you a free second opinion.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Pelican Bay
Yes. Pelican Bay runs a dual-track approval system, and you need both before construction starts. The Pelican Bay Foundation’s Architectural Review Committee reviews materials, colors, and design, while Collier County reviews the building, plumbing, and electrical work. We file both applications on your behalf and sequence the work so neither one stalls the other. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want us to walk through your specific project.
A complete ARC submittal includes the design drawings, a list of every finish and fixture with manufacturer and color name, samples or photos of tile and cabinet finishes, and the contractor’s license information. The Foundation’s pre-approved palette is the fastest path to approval, and we get informal staff feedback before finalizing documents so the packet clears on the first cycle. That single step is what separates a one-month approval from a three-month one.
Count on three to five weeks for the ARC review and Collier County permit to clear before construction can start. That is on top of the four to seven weeks of actual construction, so a full bathroom remodel in Pelican Bay realistically takes eight to twelve weeks from first meeting to final walkthrough. We build the approval time into the schedule up front, so you are not sitting with a half-finished bathroom waiting on a committee. Call (877) 610-1318 for a realistic timeline on your project.
Yes. The beachfront and near-coast towers along Gulf Shore Boulevard sit in FEMA V-zone and AE flood designations, which means the bathroom’s mechanical, electrical, and structural work has to meet flood-resistant assembly standards above standard county minimums. That includes elevated or flood-rated electrical placements, hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners on interior framing, and moisture-resistant assemblies that survive salt air and humidity. We build to those standards in every Pelican Bay condo, not just the ones the inspector insists on.
Either can file, but we file it for you. The packet has to be complete and match the Foundation’s formatting expectations, and a packet that is missing one finish sample or one manufacturer name gets bounced back. We have filed enough Pelican Bay ARC applications to know what gets approved on the first cycle, and we want your project in the queue, not sitting in a denial pile. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will get the paperwork moving.
