Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett will answer the phone himself. We serve Pembroke Pines directly from our South FL office, with local crews who understand the HOA maze and wind-load code better than any out-of-town outfit.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pembroke Pines’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Homeowners in Pembroke Pines call us because we put everything in writing before the first nail moves. That matters more here than in most places. Between Broward County permits, HOA architectural review boards, and Florida Building Code wind-load requirements, a bathroom remodel in this city has more approval layers than a coastal condo project. We handle all of it, and we never let a surprise allowance show up at the end.
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up. The crew members who show up at your door in Pembroke Pines carry the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts, and they have been background-checked. We have worked in SilverLakes, Chapel Trail, and the gated communities off Pines Boulevard long enough that our estimates reflect what we know about the soil, the slabs, and the specific way 1990s CBS tract homes settle.
Our customers in Pembroke Pines consistently tell us the same thing: the written change order system saved them from the kind of surprise invoice they got from a national company. That is why they call us again for the next project. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your Bathroom Remodeling project.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Pembroke Pines
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A complete bathroom remodel in Pembroke Pines means reworking the space from the slab up. In 33028 and 33082, that often starts with a subfloor level check, because the engineered fill under many of these homes has settled unevenly since the 1990s. We handle the permit, the demolition, the rough-in, the waterproofing, and the finishes, with every allowance written down before work begins. A full remodel here typically lands between $9,000 and $28,000, depending on the footprint and the fixture trim.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most-requested bathroom upgrade in Pembroke Pines, especially for homeowners in their 50s and 60s who want to age in place. We install curbless entries, linear drains, and full Schluter waterproofing systems. In the western ZIP codes, we also check the slab slope before we set the pan, because a half-inch of settlement at the shower edge turns a beautiful tile job into a cracked floor within two years. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 in this market.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in Pembroke Pines is one of the fastest ways to modernize a dated 1990s bathroom. The job involves removing the tub, reworking the drain location, installing a shower pan or tiled base, and often upgrading the mixing valve to meet current Florida Plumbing Code. Because many of these homes sit on organic muck soils, we inspect the subfloor for settlement before we commit to the pan layout. Plan on $3,500 to $10,000 for a properly permitted conversion with waterproofing.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities, tile, and fixtures in Pembroke Pines bathrooms every week, and the humidity here changes how we approach material choices. Grout needs to be sealed properly or it will mildew in the subtropical moisture. Vanity bases need to sit solid on floors that may have shifted. We install KraftMaid vanities and Cambria quartz tops by request, and we spec porcelain tile rated for wet-area use. Vanity installation alone starts around $800 and runs up to $3,000 depending on the piece.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pembroke Pines
We install products from PGT and CGI, two Florida manufacturers whose impact-rated bathroom windows and exterior openings carry wind-load certifications that meet Broward County code. These are not mystery brands off a van. PGT and CGI windows built for the South Florida market are labeled with their design pressure ratings, which matters when your bathroom window faces the hurricane-exposure side of the house. Because we work in Pembroke Pines regularly, we can get these products ordered and delivered without the lead-time guessing game.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Pembroke Pines Homes
- Settled subfloors under the bathroom footprint. The 1990s and early 2000s CBS homes in 33028 and 33082 were built on engineered fill over drained Everglades muck. That fill compacts unevenly, and bathroom floors are often the first place the settlement shows up as a hairline crack running from the tub deck toward the vanity.
- Waterproofing failures from cheap shower pans. A shower pan installed without a bonded membrane or proper slope will leak into the slab. On flat lots, that water ponds against the slab edge and wicks up into the drywall. We tear out and replace failed pans that never had a chance in this climate.
- Unpermitted bathroom windows. A bathroom window installed without Broward County wind-load compliance leaves the homeowner holding an unpermitted opening. When an insurance adjuster asks for the permit record after a storm, the answer is awkward. We pull the permit and the inspection sign-off every time.
- Bathroom exhaust fans vented into the attic. In Pembroke Pines humidity, venting a bathroom fan into the attic grows mold fast. The Florida Building Code requires exhaust to terminate outside. We correct this on nearly every older remodel we open up.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Pembroke Pines
Yes, a shower replacement in Pembroke Pines nearly always requires a permit because the plumbing rough-in and waterproofing assembly must be inspected under the Florida Building Code, regardless of whether walls move. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the sign-off is on file. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will tell you exactly what your project triggers before you commit to anything.
The dominant cause is slab settlement from the engineered fill under the 33028 and 33082 tract homes, not a bad tile installation. When the organic muck beneath the slab compacts unevenly, the bathroom floor flexes and the tile cracks along the stress line. We address this with a pre-remodel level survey and, when needed, self-leveling underlayment before the tile goes down.
A new bathroom window in Pembroke Pines must meet the design pressure rating required by the Florida Building Code for its exposure category, which typically means an impact-rated or wind-load-rated product from a manufacturer like PGT or CGI with the label still attached. We spec the window, pull the permit, and keep the compliance paperwork for your records. An unpermitted window is a liability you do not want to own during hurricane season.
No, in most Pembroke Pines master-planned communities, even interior bathroom work can trigger architectural review if it changes plumbing, ventilation, or an exterior wall penetration like a new exhaust vent or window. We have worked with the architectural committees in SilverLakes, Chapel Trail, and other HOA-governed neighborhoods, and we submit the package so your project does not stall mid-rough-in.
A compliant Pembroke Pines bathroom quote includes the Broward County permit fee, the slab-level survey in the western ZIP codes, a bonded waterproofing membrane like Schluter, wind-load compliance on any new window or exterior opening, and HOA submission documents. A cheap quote leaves those out and then hits you with a change order when the inspector or the HOA calls it. Our quotes have the allowances in writing from day one, and every change order is signed before the work changes. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
