AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Tequesta
Bathroom remodeling in Tequesta typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full job, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000 depending on scope, materials, and whether wind-load documentation applies to your parcel. The most important thing to know before you sign anything: which county governs your address. Tequesta is split between Palm Beach and Martin counties, and the permit that gets pulled from the wrong jurisdiction is the permit that fails inspection. We’ll pin that down before we measure anything. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through exactly what your house needs.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Tequesta’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers by zip code. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we hear from a homeowner on Tequesta Drive or along Country Club Drive, it’s the same faces showing up to measure, the same crew on the job, and the same number ringing Tom’s phone if something needs attention. That matters more in Tequesta than most places, because the village straddles a county line. Pull a permit from the wrong jurisdiction and you’ll learn about it at final inspection, red tag in hand.
Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. That’s not a slogan with us; it’s how Tom has run Bathroom Remodeling since day one. Permits get pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job. We publish Tom’s name, his address, and his license number, and we’ll tell you to look them up yourself. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No out-of-state call center. No voicemail box that never calls back.
We carry premium brands across every trade because Tequesta’s salt air and wind exposure shorten the life of bargain materials. Schluter waterproofing, Grohe fixtures, Sterling shower bases. Materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. Ask anyone on your street or look up the license number yourself.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Tequesta
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in Tequesta means tearing down to the studs in a 1960s CBS ranch and rebuilding for how you actually live now. We handle the permit, the rough-in inspection, the wind-load documentation, and the finish work. One contract, one crew, one name on the truck. When you’re replumbing a shower on a waterfront lot, the scope in writing is the thing that protects you from surprises.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade in Tequesta, and for good reason. Low-curb and barrier-free designs keep homeowners in their homes longer, which matters in a village where the housing stock skews older and people plan to age in place. We install Schluter waterproofing systems behind the tile, which do not fail the way old mortar beds and green board do once a little salt air gets into the wall cavity. If your home falls in the wind-borne debris zone, we’ll spec impact-rated glass from the start, so the enclosure passes final inspection the first time.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting an old tub to a shower in Tequesta usually runs $3,500 to $10,000. The reason the range is wide: some 1960s-era bathrooms have plumbing that was never vented properly, and once we open the wall, the fix goes from simple to structural. We’ll tell you that before we quote it, not after. Sterling shower bases and Grohe valves go in more often than any other brands on our Tequesta jobs, because they hold up to mineral-heavy water and still look right five years later.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000 in Tequesta homes, depending on whether we’re dropping in a pre-fab unit or building custom cabinetry around an odd-shaped wall. Tile work follows the Schluter waterproofing standard we use on every shower: membrane first, tile second, never the other way around. Fixtures get spec’d for salt-air exposure, which is not the same spec a showroom in Orlando will give you.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tequesta
We stock and install Schluter waterproofing systems, Grohe fixtures, and Sterling shower bases on our Tequesta jobs, because these are the brands that survive inlet air and hard water without callbacks. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, including the ones where we install these brands. KraftMaid, Cambria, and GAF are on our other trade lists, but for a bathroom near the Loxahatchee River, the brands above are what we’ll recommend. Down the road, replacement parts are easy to source locally, which means a faster fix if anything ever does go wrong.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Tequesta Homes
- Salt-air subfloor rot. Tequesta’s inlet air works its way into CBS block walls and eats the subfloor around toilets and tubs. If the floor feels soft under the vinyl, it’s usually not the vinyl. We replaced a rotted subfloor on a Tequesta Drive ranch where moisture had been tracking in through the old tub surround for years.
- Permits pulled from the wrong county. The Palm Beach/Martin county line cuts through the village, and the wrong jurisdiction means a failed inspection and a stop order. We verify the parcel’s county before we file anything.
- Undersized exhaust ventilation. Old Tequesta baths often vent into the attic instead of outside, which invites mold in a humid climate. We fix the vent run while the walls are open, not after the tile is up.
- Non-impact glass in the wind-borne debris zone. If the shower window faces the inlet, cheap glass gets red-tagged at inspection. We spec impact-rated from the beginning, so your enclosure passes the first time.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Tequesta
Your address determines it. Tequesta is bisected by the Palm Beach/Martin county line, so a home on one side follows one code set and inspection pipeline, while a home three streets over follows the other. We verify the parcel before we pull anything, because the wrong county’s permit always fails the inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 and give us the address; we’ll tell you which county you’re in and what the job will require, at no charge.
Yes, if your home falls in the wind-borne debris zone, which covers most of Tequesta near the inlet and the Loxahatchee River. A frameless glass shower enclosure on an exterior wall must meet impact-rated requirements, and the inspector will check. We spec impact-rated glass from the start, so it passes the first time and you don’t pay twice.
It depends on your parcel’s wind zone, which is mapped county by county, and it’s exactly the thing an out-of-area contractor gets wrong in Tequesta. In most of the village, replacement bathroom windows and any skylights must be impact-rated or protected by an approved shutter system. We’ll document the rating in the permit package before the opening gets cut, so there’s no red tag at final inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll pull your parcel’s wind-load requirements at no charge.
It can help you. Insurers in Florida increasingly verify wind-mitigation documentation for any structural opening, including bathroom windows and skylights. A signed inspection that proves impact-rated glass was installed in the correct wind zone can support a wind-mitigation credit, and it gives you a paper trail if you ever file a claim. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job because the permit inspector works for you, not for me, and the record that’s on file is the record that helps you later.
Because those steps cost money and slow the job down, and a contractor who skips them can quote a lower number and still look competitive. The bill arrives later, either as a red tag at inspection, a stop-work order on a waterfront lot, or an insurance claim that gets denied because the paperwork doesn’t exist. We won’t quote a number that leaves those steps out. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you a quote with every permit, inspection, and wind-load item listed in writing.
