AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Carol City
Bathroom remodeling in Carol City runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut and rebuild, with smaller jobs like a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Those are real numbers for the 33056 ZIP, where most homes are concrete block stucco built in the 1950s and 1960s and every permit falls under Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules. If you’ve got a bathroom that’s showing its age, a shower that leaks into the wall, or a layout that never worked from day one, call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come take a look. Tom Barrett and his sons run every crew, and we’ve been pulling permits in this county long enough to know exactly what the inspector in Carol City will ask for.
We’re not a franchise that drops a salesperson at your door and a stranger at your job. We live twenty minutes away, and when you call, a live person answers. What we quote is what you pay, and if anything changes, you get it in writing before a single nail moves. That’s the only way we work in Carol City, and it’s the reason homeowners off NW 183rd Street, near Miami Gardens Drive, and around Lester Brown Park keep calling us back for everything from bathroom remodels to Fence Installation in Carol City.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Carol City’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he publishes his name, his address, and his license number where anyone can look them up. His sons run the crews. When you hire us for a bathroom remodel in Carol City, the person who signs the contract is the same person you’ll see at the hardware store on Saturday. Ask anyone on your street about the last contractor who pulled that off. We’ve built our reputation in Miami-Dade one job at a time, and most of our Carol City work comes from neighbors telling neighbors about our Carol City Driveway & Pavers work too.
Every Carol City bathroom remodel we take on gets a written scope, written allowances, and written change orders. If a pipe is rotted behind the wall and the job needs extra work, you’ll see the price on paper and approve it before we proceed. No surprise invoices at the end. That promise is written into every contract as our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.
We carry premium brands across the bathroom, and the crew members who walk into your Carol City home are background-checked and uniformed. They carry the Barrett & Sons name, so they’re held to a standard nobody wants to break. You’ll also get a Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate if you’re comparing bids, and if you’re a senior or veteran, there’s a permanent 10% discount on the table. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll schedule a time that works for you.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Carol City
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Carol City typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on square footage, layout changes, and material selections. We gut the room to the studs, move plumbing if you want a different footprint, and rebuild with materials that pass Miami-Dade inspection. Most of the homes we work on near the Florida Turnpike corridor have that original 1950s layout, where the tub backs against a shared wall and the vanity blocks the door swing. We can correct both.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Carol City runs $4,500 to $12,000 for a curbless entry, proper waterproofing, and tile work that holds up to the humidity this county throws at it. If you’re replacing a fiberglass insert that’s cracked or stained, the price usually lands on the lower end. If you want a frameless glass enclosure and new plumbing valves, it climbs. We quote it all in writing before you commit.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Carol City runs $3,500 to $10,000 and it’s one of the most popular upgrades we do for homeowners in their 60s and 70s who want to age in place. Stepping over a tub wall gets harder every year, and a low-threshold shower with grab-bar blocking behind the tile is a change that makes daily life safer. We also handle Bathroom Remodeling projects that combine a tub-to-shower swap with new vanities and flooring in one pass.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Carol City runs $800 to $3,000, and tile work is priced per square foot based on the material you choose. We’ll bring samples to your home so you can see how a Cambria quartz top looks against your existing floor before you spend a dollar. Fixtures come from brands you can look up, not mystery stock off a van, and every fixture we install is backed by the manufacturer warranty plus our own 90-Day Done Right Promise.

Trusted Brands We Service in Carol City

If you’ve got an existing bathroom with parts that need matching, call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you straight what’s replaceable and what’s worth redoing. Our access to local supply houses in Miami-Dade means we’re not waiting on a pallet from two states away when your Carol City remodel needs a specific trim kit or drain assembly.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Carol City Homes
- Rotted subfloor under original terrazzo or tile: Those 1950s and 1960s concrete block homes off NW 27th Avenue and NW 191st Street often have cast iron drain lines that finally gave out. Water sits, subfloor softens, and by the time you see a stain on the ceiling below, the damage is done. We open it up, show you what’s there, and give you a written number before any repair work starts.
- Shower valves that don’t regulate temperature anymore: The wet season delivers over 60 inches of rain a year, and bathrooms in Carol City stay humid year-round. Old valve cartridges corrode, minerals build up, and suddenly a twist of the handle goes from cold to scalding. We replace valves and add pressure-balanced or thermostatic controls that meet current code.
- Window placement that fights the layout: A lot of Carol City’s early planned homes put a narrow window right in the shower wall. Glass block helped in the 1960s, but it’s a mold magnet in this climate. We can move the window, reframe the opening to HVHZ standard, and give you a shower that actually ventilates.
- Tile laid directly on drywall, never waterproofed: We regularly open up Carol City bathroom walls to find green board behind tile with no membrane. That might pass in a dry climate; it fails here in three to five years. We rebuild with a waterproof system and pull the permit so the inspector verifies it was done right.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Carol City, FL
A typical full bathroom remodel in Carol City runs $9,000 to $28,000. A small bathroom remodel, like a powder room or a 5×8 hall bath, lands between $5,000 and $12,000. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000. Vanity installation with new fixtures runs $800 to $3,000. The biggest cost drivers in the 33056 ZIP are whether we’re moving plumbing, what tile you select, and whether the existing subfloor or framing needs repair once we open the walls. Every line item goes on paper before work starts, and our estimates are free. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your bathroom together, measuring everything, so the number we give you is the number you’ll pay.
Keep in mind that Carol City permits and inspections fall under Miami-Dade’s HVHZ regime. That’s not a fee you can skip. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him. When the inspector signs off on your new shower pan and your waterproofing, you know it was done to the strictest standard in the continental U.S. Some contractors make permits sound optional. They aren’t, and we pull them on every eligible job.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Carol City
A full bathroom remodel in Carol City typically costs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller spaces coming in between $5,000 and $12,000. The spread comes down to size, plumbing changes, tile selection, and whether hidden damage needs repair once we open the walls. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote; estimates are free and written.
Yes, we pull permits and schedule inspections on every eligible bathroom remodel in Carol City. Sitings in the 33056 ZIP fall under Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, and our work is built to pass that inspection the first time. The inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s how we prefer it.
Most full bathroom remodels in Carol City take two to four weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on whether we’re moving plumbing and what materials need lead time. A tub-to-shower conversion often finishes inside a week. We’ll give you a start date and a completion window in writing before we swing the first hammer.
It only changes if you approve a written change order first. If we open the wall and find rotted framing or a failed cast iron drain line, you’ll see the exact additional cost on paper and sign off before we proceed. We will never hand you a bigger bill at the end without your written approval.
Yes, every bathroom remodel we complete in Carol City is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something wasn’t done right, call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett comes back personally to make it right. One call, no runaround.
