AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Hialeah Gardens
When a bathroom stops working for you in Hialeah Gardens, the problem is usually older pipes, cracked grout, and a layout that made sense in 1985 but not now. A full bathroom remodel here typically runs $9,000-$28,000 depending on size, materials, and how far the plumbing has to move. Tom Barrett and his sons have been remodeling bathrooms across Miami-Dade since 1998, and they answer their own phone at (877) 610-1318 when you call. You get a written quote, permits pulled, and a 90-day guarantee that’s actually on paper.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Hialeah Gardens’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Most homeowners in Hialeah Gardens bought houses built in the 1970s through 1990s, which means concrete block walls and bathrooms that were never meant to handle modern fixtures. Tom’s crew has opened enough of those walls to know what’s behind them: shallow plumbing chases, outdated cast-iron drain lines, and the occasional surprise from a previous handyman job. You’ll see the same truck in your driveway every morning, and the same sons running the crew. Not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
Our reputation in Hialeah Gardens comes from doing the permit work correctly. Every bathroom remodel that needs a plumbing or electrical inspection gets one. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number because he wants you to verify before signing. If a neighbor asks who did your bathroom, you’ll have a name to give them, not a 1-800 number.
Crews dispatch to Hialeah Gardens from our South FL office, and Tom lives close enough that he’s driven through the warehouse district on Okeechobee Road more times than he can count. That matters when you need a second opinion on a written estimate from another contractor. We give those free.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Hialeah Gardens
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut renovation in Hialeah Gardens usually means removing a fiberglass tub surround that’s been there since the Clinton administration, leveling a floor that’s settled over the shallow marl soils near the Everglades transition zone, and rebuilding the shower with proper waterproofing. We use Schluter systems because Miami-Dade humidity will find any gap in a cheap membrane. Expect a full bathroom remodel in the 33012 zip code to run $9,000-$28,000.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most common request we get from Hialeah Gardens homeowners over 50. A curbless entry with a linear drain runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on whether you’re replacing an existing shower footprint or expanding it. If you live in one of the older CBS homes near West Okeechobee Road, we’ll check the slab thickness before promising a curbless design. Sometimes the concrete needs a little more depth to recess the drain properly.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Swapping a tub for a shower in Hialeah Gardens costs $3,500-$10,000. The price moves based on whether your existing drain line can be reused or if we’re extending it through a concrete slab. Most homes here sit on slab-on-grade foundations, so moving a drain means cutting and patching concrete. We do it, we get the permit, and the inspector signs off.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
A bathroom vanity install alone runs $800-$3,000. New tile work depends on square footage and whether you’re working over that old mastic from the 80s that turns to dust when you tap it. We carry Sterling and Grohe fixtures because they hold up to Miami-Dade’s hard water better than the cheap chrome kits off a big-box shelf. Tom will tell you which tile works on a bathroom floor that sees bare feet and humidity year-round.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hialeah Gardens
We install Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling tubs and shower bases, and Grohe faucets and valves. These are brands you can look up before we start. When a Hialeah Gardens customer needs a part, we don’t have to wait for something to ship from a warehouse in Texas. We stock common replacement components locally, which means a valve cartridge or a shower drain replacement doesn’t leave your bathroom torn apart for a week. If a brand we don’t stock is on your wish list, we’ll get the written quote and tell you honestly whether it’s worth the money.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Hialeah Gardens Homes
- Slab leaks from shifting soils. The eastern edge of the Everglades means a high water table and shallow fill dirt over limestone. Concrete slabs move. Old copper supply lines flex and crack. A bathroom remodel is often the right time to reroute water lines through walls instead of under the slab.
- Moisture damage from poor ventilation. Hialeah Gardens bathrooms built in the 70s and 80s often have a single small exhaust fan or none at all. Add a family of four showering daily in Miami humidity and you get peeling paint, swollen door frames, and mold hiding behind baseboards.
- Old cast-iron drain lines. Homes built before 1990 in Hialeah Gardens frequently have cast-iron drains that have rusted through at the bottom. You might not see it until a remodel opens the floor. We check drain condition before we lay new tile, because laying tile over a failing pipe is a guaranteed change order later.
- DIY waterproofing failures. More than one Hialeah Gardens homeowner has paid for a remodel twice because the first contractor used green board and silicone instead of a real waterproofing membrane. Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade humidity don’t care about shortcuts. We pull permits, and the inspector’s job is to catch exactly that kind of corner-cutting.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Hialeah Gardens
A full bathroom remodel in Hialeah Gardens costs $9,000-$28,000. The typical job falls around $15,000 when you’re moving fixtures but keeping the same footprint. Smaller jobs like a tub-to-shower conversion start around $3,500. The biggest cost drivers here are slab work for plumbing moves and the cost of waterproofing done right. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free and line-itemed.
We cover all of the 33012 zip code, including homes along West Okeechobee Road, NW 103rd Street, and the residential pockets off NW 87th Avenue. No trip charge inside the county.
Yes. Hialeah Gardens is unique because so much of the city is warehouse and flex-industrial space rather than residential housing. That means tenant build-outs, office restroom renovations, and commercial bathroom remodels inside large-bay warehouses are a big part of what we do in this area. Miami-Dade’s post-Hurricane Andrew Notice of Acceptance rules still apply to those buildings, and we source materials that carry current NOA certification so inspections pass on the first visit.
Not without your signature. Every scope change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, so we put everything on paper. If we open a wall and find something unexpected, you’ll get a written number and you decide.
Yes, on every eligible job. Plumbing, electrical, and structural changes in Hialeah Gardens require permits through Miami-Dade County. The inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. That’s how you know the work is legal and the waterproofing is built to Florida code.
Not meaningfully. You might see small differences because so many Hialeah Gardens homes are CBS construction on slab foundations, which can add a little labor cost if plumbing has to move through concrete. But the difference between our Hialeah Gardens price and a similar job in Miami Lakes or Hialeah is usually a few hundred dollars, not thousands. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll show you exact numbers.
Yes. Every bathroom remodel comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise written on the contract. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and fixes it. One call.
