AfterBathroom Remodeling in West Park: What Homeowners Should Know Before They Start
Bathroom remodeling in West Park typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000 for a full renovation, with smaller projects like walk-in shower installation starting around $4,500. Most jobs take two to five weeks depending on what’s hiding behind the walls. If you own one of West Park’s classic CBS ranch homes built between 1950 and 1975, the big question isn’t tile color. It’s whether the plumbing, the slab, and the permits from decades of county oversight will cooperate once the walls come open.
West Park is a small city, roughly two square miles, and its 33023 ZIP covers a very specific kind of housing stock. What you’ll find in West Park are post-war concrete block homes, many of them built before Broward County tightened its wind codes after Hurricane Andrew. That matters for bathroom work more than you’d think. When we open a wall in a 1960s CBS house off SW 40th Avenue, we’re often the first people to look at those studs and pipes since LBJ was in office. The plumbing is usually galvanized. The slab may have settled. And the permit history, well, that’s a conversation worth having before the first tile gets set.
Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what a bathroom remodel in West Park actually involves, including the unpermitted-addition surprises we know to look for before we quote. Estimates are free, and no one from our crew will show up in a van with a different company name painted on the side.
What to Look For in a West Park Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
You’ve got choices, and honestly, some of them are bad ones. The difference between a contractor who knows West Park and one who just found the job on an app comes down to a few things that don’t show up in a Google ad.
First, does the person on the other end of the phone live close enough to care about their reputation at the local Winn-Dixie? Tom Barrett has operated Barrett & Sons Construction since 1998 as a family business. His sons run crews. When you call, a live person answers, not a call center in another state. That matters in a city like West Park, where the lots went in decades ago and the neighbors still know each other.
Second, will every change in scope arrive as a written change order before any extra nail gets driven? We’ve heard too many stories from West Park homeowners who got a verbal estimate, watched the project grow, and got a final bill that looked like it belonged in a different zip code. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We put everything in writing: scope, allowances, change orders, all of it.
Third, do they pull permits? West Park’s building department has its own rules now, and they’re stricter than what the county used to enforce. A contractor who tells you permits are optional is doing you no favors. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him. When the inspector signs off, you’ve got a record that the work was done to code.
Finally, check the name. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street. We’ve been doing Bathroom Remodeling long enough that someone in West Park probably knows someone who’s seen our work.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not the cheapest bid in West Park, and we’re not trying to be. We’re the company you call when you want the job done once, on the books, with materials you can look up and a name you can find in person if something’s not right.
Founded in 1998, Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated, not a franchise. Tom Barrett’s name is on the contract, and his sons are on-site most days. That’s a different kind of accountability than a national outfit that quotes one price on the phone and shows up with another. Every job we finish comes with a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
We serve West Park and the surrounding neighborhoods regularly, which means we know what to expect before we open the first wall. We know the 1950s CBS homes off Hallandale Beach Boulevard. We know the ground-level slabs near the Florida East Coast Railway. We know that in West Park, a bathroom remodel sometimes means dealing with an unpermitted conversion from the 1980s that the county never finalized and the city now wants reviewed. That’s not a problem we discover halfway through. It’s one we plan for.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in West Park
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in West Park generally runs $9,000 to $28,000. That’s a gut-and-rebuild: new shower or tub, new vanity, new tile, new plumbing and electrical brought to current code. In West Park’s older CBS homes, we typically replace galvanized supply lines with PEX or copper and check the slab for moisture before any finishes go in. The flat terrain and saturated fill soils here mean water doesn’t drain away quickly, and a cracked slab is a common finding under 60-year-old bathrooms.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in West Park runs $4,500 to $12,000. We build curbless showers with Schluter waterproofing systems so the transition from bathroom floor to shower floor is smooth and leak-free. For older homeowners in West Park looking for a safer bathroom, a curbless walk-in shower eliminates the step-over risk and can be paired with grab bars and a built-in bench without making the space look institutional.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in West Park costs $3,500 to $10,000. It’s one of the most requested projects we do in this city, particularly in smaller 1950s and 1960s ranch homes where the original hallway bath never had a separate shower. We handle the demo, disposal, shower pan installation, and waterproofing. Sterling and Grohe fixtures are common choices here because they hold up to Broward County’s humidity and hard water better than cheaper finishes.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in West Park runs $800 to $3,000. Tile work is often priced by square foot, and fixture replacement depends on what you choose. We don’t work with mystery brands off a van. When you pick a vanity or a faucet, you’ll know the manufacturer and you can look it up. In West Park’s older bathrooms, we frequently find that original tile was set on a mud bed that’s now failing. That’s a repair, not a simple retile, and we’ll tell you before we quote, not after.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Park
We stock and install brands you can verify: Schluter for waterproofing and shower systems, Sterling for tubs and shower bases, and Grohe for faucets and fixtures. We don’t push generic off-brand materials because West Park’s humidity and hard water will find the weak spots in cheap plating within a year. If you have a brand you prefer, we’ll use it. If you want our recommendation, we’ll give you names you can look up and a price that matches the line item on your contract.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in West Park Homes
- Unpermitted retrofits from the pre-incorporation era. West Park only became a city in 2005. Before that, it was unincorporated Broward County, and enforcement was loose. We routinely find bathrooms, rear rooms, or showers that were added decades ago without final inspections. West Park’s building department now requires those legacy issues to be resolved before new permits issue. That adds scope and cost. We tell you upfront, not at the 60% mark.
- Slab settling and moisture intrusion. West Park sits on the Atlantic Coastal Ridge fringe where saturated fill soils are common. Ground-level slabs shift. If your bathroom floor has a low spot that collects water or a crack that runs through the tile, the fix has to happen before the new pan goes in. We check for this during the estimate, not after demolition.
- Galvanized plumbing nearing the end of its life. A 1960s bathroom in West Park almost always has galvanized supply lines. They corrode from the inside. You’ll notice lower water pressure and rust-colored water. When we’re doing a full remodel, this is the time to replace them. Doing it later means opening walls twice.
- Original tile on failing mud beds. Those mid-century CBS homes often had tile set on mortar beds that have since cracked and separated from the slab. A retile over a bad bed is wasted money. In West Park, we see this enough that we almost always plan for full tear-out to the substrate.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in West Park, FL
A full bathroom remodel in West Park runs $9,000 to $28,000. Small bathroom remodels fall in the $5,000 to $12,000 range. Walk-in shower installation is $4,500 to $12,000. Tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000, and a bathroom vanity installation is $800 to $3,000. Those are the ranges we’ve been quoting in 33023 over the past couple of years, and they account for the extras West Park homes tend to need: legacy permit resolution, slab inspection, and plumbing replacement on older systems.
What moves the number is the condition of what’s beneath the surface, not the finish level you pick. A 1965 bathroom with a settled slab, galvanized pipes, and an unpermitted shower from 1982 is a different project than a clean-slab bathroom in a newer home. We’ll tell you which kind you have when we do the estimate. Written line by line, every allowance spelled out, no surprises at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out free.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in West Park
A full bathroom remodel in West Park costs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller remodels starting at $5,000. The range depends on what’s behind your walls: older CBS homes in 33023 often have galvanized plumbing, settled slabs, and legacy permit issues that add scope. We’ll give you a written, line-item estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.
We can usually schedule a free estimate within a few days and start work within two to three weeks, depending on the season and your project’s size.

Yes. Permits are pulled and inspections are signed on every eligible job.

Not without a written change order signed by you first.
