AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Royal Palm Beach
A full bathroom remodel in Royal Palm Beach typically ranges from $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathrooms starting around $5,000. The final number depends on what opening your walls turns up. That’s the part most quotes skip. We’ve worked enough 1975-1995 CBS tract homes here to know that a “simple” vanity swap on a canal lot near an LWDD easement can turn into a code-compliance project fast. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your specific house, not a generic price sheet.
We live where we work. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that work Royal Palm Beach homes every week. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our South FL office, but the crew members on your job are the same people you’ll see at the Royal Palm Beach Publix on Saturday.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Royal Palm Beach’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Royal Palm Beach isn’t just a service area to us. It’s a specific housing inventory with specific problems. The village was platted and built out almost entirely between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s. That means CBS walls, original aluminum sliders, and Royal Palm Beach Windows & Doors that predate modern load demands. A national company quoting over the phone doesn’t know that a bathroom fan circuit on a 1983 villa off Crestwood Boulevard shares a breaker with two bedrooms. We do.
Our customers in Royal Palm Beach keep calling us back because the price on the contract is the price on the final invoice. Every allowance is in writing before work starts. Every change order for a code-triggered upgrade is signed before we touch it. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we pull permits on every eligible job and stand there while the inspection signs off.
Response time matters. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from two counties away. Tom answers his own phone, 24/7. When a Royal Palm Beach homeowner calls about a shower pan leaking into a slab, we’re on the schedule within days, not weeks.
Check our reputation. Look up Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Royal Palm Beach
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Royal Palm Beach means gutting to the studs, relocating plumbing if needed, and rebuilding with materials that can handle this climate. We see a lot of original 1970s and 1980s bathrooms where the tile looks fine but the drywall behind it has been wicking moisture for decades. Slab-on-grade floors hold water longer here because of the high water table and afternoon Everglades storms. We tear it out, fix what’s underneath, and rebuild it right.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Royal Palm Beach runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, glass, and what the drain relocation requires. On canal-lot homes, relocating a shower drain can trigger LWDD right-of-way clearance. We pull that clearance before we break ground. Out-of-area crews skip it and get stop-work orders. We don’t.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Royal Palm Beach costs $3,500 to $10,000. For homeowners in the 50-70 range, this is the most common job we do. You want a low-threshold shower that won’t crack a hip. We install grab bar blocking behind the walls during rough-in, even if you don’t want grab bars yet. It costs $40 in lumber now and saves a full re-tile later.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Royal Palm Beach starts at $800 and goes up based on what you pick. We carry premium brands: Moen fixtures, Silestone and Cambria counters, porcelain and ceramic tile rated for wet areas. No mystery brands off a van. Every material is something you can look up by name before you commit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Royal Palm Beach
We install and service what we’d put in our own homes. That means Moen and Delta in plumbing fixtures, Silestone and Cambria on vanity tops, Schluter waterproofing systems under tile, and frameless glass from local Royal Palm Beach suppliers. We stock common replacement parts and trim pieces so a small follow-up isn’t a three-week wait for shipping. Techo-Bloc and Cambridge pavers show up on our our Driveway & Pavers in Royal Palm Beach outdoor shower and pool-bath projects, but inside the bathroom the focus stays on waterproofing and plumbing that outlasts the finish.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Royal Palm Beach Homes
- Hidden water damage behind original tile. Royal Palm Beach’s high water table keeps slab subfloors damp longer after storms, so a pinhole leak behind a 1986 shower surround spreads into adjacent carpet before you see a single stain on the grout.
- Undersized framing after CBS walls get chipped down. Running new plumbing vents through block walls means chipping. A remodeler who didn’t open the wall before quoting may leave load-bearing lintels undersized. That’s a change order we write as an allowance before rough-in.
- Canal-lot drain relocations without LWDD clearance. A large share of Royal Palm Beach lots abut Lake Worth Drainage District lateral canals. Relocating a toilet or tub drain near the right-of-way without LWDD sign-off can halt a project mid-rough-in.
- 100-150A panels that can’t support a modern bathroom. The 1975-1995 build era left many Royal Palm Beach homes with panels that predate today’s load demands. A new double-vanity circuit or heated floor often requires a panel upgrade. We flag it in the contract before it becomes a surprise invoice.

What pushes a Royal Palm Beach remodel toward the top of the range? Code compliance upgrades. A 1984 CBS home pulling a permit for a bathroom remodel will often trigger hurricane-strap tie-downs, impact-window replacement, or roof-decking attachment upgrades because the building predates Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul. Those aren’t optional. We write them into the contract as allowances so there’s never a surprise invoice at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your specific bathroom.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Royal Palm Beach
If your home was built before Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul, a permit for a bathroom remodel will likely trigger mandatory hurricane-strap tie-downs on the roof framing, impact-rated window replacement in the renovated area, and updated roof-decking attachment. A 1980s CBS home in Royal Palm Beach that opens a wall for plumbing almost always gets flagged for one or all three. We include these as written allowances in your contract before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll pull the property records before we quote.
Check your survey or property deed for Lake Worth Drainage District right-of-way markings, marked as LWDD R/W. If your lot abuts a lateral canal, you have one. Relocating a toilet or shower drain near that easement requires LWDD clearance before we break ground. We pull that clearance as standard procedure on any canal-lot bathroom remodel in Royal Palm Beach. If you’re not sure, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check the records for you.
Because the original quote didn’t include an allowance for what’s behind the CBS walls. In Royal Palm Beach, a 1980s bathroom hiding failed waterproofing, undersized lintels, or an overloaded panel will push a quote up once the wall is open. We don’t quote that way. Our contracts include written allowances for the most common findings on this specific housing stock, and every additional change comes to you as a written change order before we touch it. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Usually yes, but the HOA governs it. Royal Palm Beach villa and townhome communities have architectural review committees that require a submitted scope of work, and some have specific rules about curbless shower pans and drain relocation. We’ve done enough walk-in shower installations in Royal Palm Beach HOA villas to know what most boards expect. We handle the submittal paperwork as part of the job. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your community’s guidelines before you commit.
We treat the slab as a moisture source, not an innocent bystander. Royal Palm Beach’s high water table and afternoon Everglades storms keep slab subfloors damp longer than most contractors expect, so we use a capillary break and full waterproofing membrane under all tile, not just spot coating. We also check adjacent rooms for wicking before we set a single tile. If your bathroom floor feels damp in the morning, call (877) 610-1318 for an assessment.
