AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across The Hammocks
If you live in The Hammocks and your bathroom still looks like it did when the community was first built, you’re not alone. Most homes here went up between the mid-1980s and late 1990s, and original bathrooms from that era show it: builder-grade vanities, dated tile, tubs that feel cramped, and plumbing fixtures that have seen better days. A complete bathroom remodel in The Hammocks typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size, materials, and whether you’re moving walls or keeping the existing footprint. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we remodel bathrooms throughout 33196 with a written price before work begins and a 90-Day Done Right Promise after it ends. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is The Hammocks’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers the phone himself. That matters in The Hammocks, where a lot of homeowners have been burned by contractors who show up, tear out a tub, and then hand over a bill that looks nothing like the quote. We don’t work that way. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every material substitution goes on paper as a written change order before we touch it.
Our crews know the housing stock here. The Hammocks is almost entirely CBS construction: concrete block and stucco homes with a few two-story townhomes mixed in. That changes how you waterproof a shower, how you run new plumbing through block walls, and how you anchor a vanity that’s going to hold up for 20 years. A contractor who mostly works in wood-framed homes north of here will fight these houses. We don’t, because we’ve been working in them for decades.
Ask anyone along Hammocks Boulevard or near the lakes off 104th Street. Better yet, look up Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number yourself. He publishes them. That’s not something a contractor does when he’s worried about what you’ll find. Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles everything from a bathtub swap to a full gut renovation, and we’re in your neighborhood regularly, not driving up from somewhere two counties away.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in The Hammocks
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We tear out everything to the studs and rebuild it properly. For The Hammocks homes, that means waterproofing done right for a house that sits near the water table and battles humidity most of the year. A full remodel here usually runs $9,000 to $28,000, and you’ll get a line-item price before demo starts, not a vague “allowance” that turns into a surprise later.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Replacing a tub with a walk-in shower is the single most common request we get in The Hammocks. Homeowners in their 50s and 60s who plan to stay in this community want a shower they can use safely for the next 20 years. Walk-in shower installation in this area runs $4,500 to $12,000, and we handle the full job including waterproofing, tile, glass, and fixtures.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
If you have an original builder tub that’s scratched, stained, or just too low to step into comfortably, a tub-to-shower conversion usually makes more sense than a full remodel. In The Hammocks, this job typically costs $3,500 to $10,000. We remove the old tub, address any water damage on the subfloor beneath it (and we find some in most homes this age), then install a proper shower pan and surround.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones are fine and you just need new life in the room. A vanity installation in The Hammocks runs $800 to $3,000, and we can order KraftMaid cabinets if you want something that isn’t particle-board junk from a big-box aisle. Tile work is priced by the square foot after we measure, and we’ll give you that number in writing before we set the first piece.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks
We don’t put mystery materials in your home. When we install a vanity, we can order KraftMaid. When we set a countertop, we offer Cambria. For tile and hardscape-adjacent work, we’ve installed Techo-Bloc products and we can tell you exactly what’s in the box before it shows up on your driveway. If you’re planning a bathroom that also touches an outdoor area or a paver pathway, we source Cambridge Pavers for durable hardscapes that hold up to South Florida’s rain and sun. No off-brand salvage, no “whatever the supplier had” surprises. You get a material list with the estimate, and the finished bathroom matches it.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes
- Water damage under original tubs and shower pans. Homes built in the late 1980s and 1990s used shower pan liners that simply don’t hold up for 30 years in this climate. When we pull the old tub or pan, we usually find rotted subfloor that needs repair before the new install can go in.
- Mold and mildew from South Florida humidity. The Hammocks sits near the water table, and exhaust fans in original bathrooms are almost always undersized. We address ventilation as part of every remodel, because a beautiful new bathroom that fogs up and grows mold in 12 months isn’t worth what you paid.
- Builder-grade vanities falling apart. Original vanities from the community’s build-out years are particle board with a veneer. After decades of moisture, the bases swell and the hardware pulls loose. We replace them with solid plywood cabinet boxes that actually survive a bathroom.
- Windows in showers that leak or rot. Some homes in The Hammocks have a window inside the shower enclosure. On pre-Andrew builds especially, the flashing around those windows is often inadequate for a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and repairs require attention to Miami-Dade NOA compliance before the tile goes back on.
