AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Allapattah
Bathroom remodeling in Allapattah typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000 for a full renovation, with smaller projects like tub-to-shower conversions starting closer to $3,500. If you live in one of the aging CBS concrete block homes between NW 12th Avenue and NW 9th Avenue, you already know the drill: original 1940s plumbing, jalousie windows that let in the Miami humidity, and terrazzo floors hiding whatever the last owner tried to patch. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve worked this neighborhood long enough to know which houses still have cast-iron drain lines and which lots sit on oolite limestone just inches below the slab. That matters when you’re pricing a bathroom that needs real plumbing work, not just new tile. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate, and Tom Barrett will walk your bathroom with you before anyone quotes a number.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Allapattah’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and the company is still owner-operated. His sons run the crews. When we say our Bathroom Remodeling team will be at your house on the agreed date, the person who shows up answers to the same name that’s on the contract. That’s different from the out-of-town outfits that hand your job to a rotating cast of subcontractors.
Customers in Allapattah call us because the work is backed by a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No runaround, no service ticket queue. We also publish Tom’s name, address, and license number, and a live person answers the phone at (877) 610-1318 around the clock. Allapattah homeowners have told us more than once that after a bad experience with a national company, what they wanted most was a contractor they could verify and hold accountable. That’s us.
Every price change on your bathroom job is a written change order issued before work proceeds. Every permit that’s required gets pulled, and every inspection gets signed off. In Miami-Dade County, where the HVHZ code adds layers most homeowners never see, that’s not a formality. It’s the only way to keep your project legal and your home insurable.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Allapattah
We handle the full range of bathroom work in Allapattah, from gut renovations of 1950s CBS homes along NW 20th Street to careful updates in the smaller bungalows near Charles Hadley Park. Here’s what we do most often:
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Allapattah often means tearing out cast-iron drain lines that have been corroding for 70 years, replacing jalousie windows with Miami-Dade approved impact units, and leveling floors that settled long ago. We pull permits on every job, upgrade plumbing and electrical to current code, and install fixtures from brands like Grohe and Sterling. Expect a typical range of $9,000 to $28,000 depending on the size of the room and the condition of what’s behind the walls.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade in Allapattah right now, especially for homeowners in their 60s and 70s who want to stay in the neighborhood rather than move to a condo. We build curbless entries where the floor structure allows it, install Schluter waterproofing systems, and use frameless glass enclosures that hold up to Miami’s humidity without corroding. A walk-in shower installation in Allapattah generally runs $4,500 to $12,000.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Removing a 1960s porcelain tub and putting a low-threshold shower in its place is one of the most practical remodels we do in Allapattah. The process usually takes two to three weeks, and we handle the demolition, drain relocation, waterproofing, tile, glass, and fixture installation. Plan on $3,500 to $10,000 for a tub-to-shower conversion, with the final number depending on whether we find hidden water damage or old galvanized supply lines behind the wall.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Not every Allapattah bathroom needs a full gut. Sometimes the bones are fine and the room just needs a new vanity, fresh tile, and upgraded fixtures. We install cabinets and vanities from $800 to $3,000, replace tile from floor to ceiling, and swap out old hardware for Grohe or Sterling fixtures that won’t pit in the salt-heavy air. Smaller jobs still get the same written scope and the same 90-Day Done Right Promise.

Trusted Brands We Service in Allapattah
We don’t install mystery materials off a van. In Allapattah bathrooms, we regularly install Schluter waterproofing systems under tile, Grohe and Sterling fixtures, and we coordinate with our Windows & Doors in Allapattah crew when a remodel includes replacing jalousie windows with hurricane-rated units. Because we stock common parts locally at our South Florida warehouse, we don’t wait on shipments from out of state when a fixture arrives damaged or a glass panel measures wrong. That keeps your Allapattah remodel moving instead of stalled.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Allapattah Homes
- Rusted cast-iron drain lines. Many Allapattah homes built between 1945 and 1965 still have original cast-iron waste pipes. By now, most are scaled and leaking at the joints, and only show themselves when we open the wall for a renovation.
- Shallow oolite limestone and thin slabs. Miami oolite often sits 12 to 18 inches below grade in Allapattah. When we relocate a drain or add a footing for a soaker tub, chipping through it adds time, and in some cases the original slab was poured on fill without proper footings, which triggers a structural to-do the moment the county inspector sees it.
- Moisture and mold behind jalousie windows. Those louvered glass windows in older Allapattah bathrooms pull in humid air year-round. Behind the wall, we frequently find rot and mold where the window meets the shower wall, which is why many remodels include replacing the jalousie with a code-approved unit.
- Low water pressure from galvanized supply lines. Original galvanized pipes in these homes are often so mineral-crusted inside that a new Grohe shower head can’t perform. If your Allapattah bathroom has 70-year-old plumbing, a remodel may include repiping the supply lines to the fixture.
