Kendale Lakes is a specific kind of place to remodel. The housing stock is almost entirely concrete block, built fast and tight during the same 10 to 15 year window, and nearly every home we walk into has the same bones: original cast iron or copper supply lines behind the wall, flat or low-slope concrete tile roofs that were already aging when Hurricane Andrew rewrote the rulebook, and bathrooms that have never seen a permit inspector since the day they were framed. We know what’s behind those walls because we’ve opened hundreds of them. That matters more than any glossy brochure.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Kendale Lakes’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Kendale Lakes. Not subcontractors of subcontractors. Not a rotating cast from an out-of-state call center. The name on the truck is the name on the permit, and Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number so you can verify all of it before you sign anything. That’s not a marketing line. Look it up.

Our Bathroom Remodeling work in Kendale Lakes comes with the same thing every Barrett & Sons job comes with: the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back. One call. No argument, no three-week wait for a “warranty department.” That’s what owner-operated means in practice.

Every price change on a Kendale Lakes bathroom job arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t do surprises. And every eligible remodel includes permits pulled and inspections signed, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.

Homeowners here tend to be in the 50 to 70 range, and a lot of them have already been burned once by a big-name company that quoted one number on the phone and handed over a different bill at the door. We answer our own phone, 24/7, with a live person. When you call about a bathroom in Kendale Lakes, you’re talking to someone who knows what a pilaster is and why your slab is different from a home in Kendall West.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Kendale Lakes

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full gut-and-rebuild in Kendale Lakes usually means taking a bathroom down to the block walls and rebuilding it right: new waterproofing, new fixtures, new venting, new everything, and our Driveway & Pavers in Kendale Lakes if your project includes exterior hardscaping. Homes built in the 1970s and early 1980s in this area almost always have cast iron drain lines that have been quietly corroding for four decades, and we plan for that from the first walkthrough. This is also where HVHZ compliance comes into play if your remodel touches any exterior wall openings or requires moving a window for a larger shower layout. Full remodels here start around $9,000 for a basic hall bath and run up to $28,000 for a master suite with frameless glass and custom tile work.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Aging in place is a real conversation in Kendale Lakes, where many homeowners bought new in the 70s and 80s and have no plans to leave. A zero-threshold or low-curb walk-in shower with a built-in bench and a handheld sprayer is the single most common request we see. Walk-in shower installation in Kendale Lakes typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on whether we’re converting an existing tub or building from scratch, and the scope in writing will show every allowance for tile, glass, and valves before we order anything.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Those original cast iron tubs were built to last, but the homeowners around them aren’t always interested in climbing over a 14-inch tub wall anymore. Tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000 in Kendale Lakes, and it’s one of the faster projects we do: usually two to three weeks from demo to final inspection. The catch in this neighborhood is what we find under the tub. Original slab homes here often have a cast iron P-trap set just below the surface that’s rusted thin, and the smart move is to replace it while the floor is open rather than bury it for the next owner to discover.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Not every job is a full gut. Sometimes it’s a vanity swap, new floor tile, fresh fixtures, and a coat of paint. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in Kendale Lakes, and we can source everything from big-box staple brands to custom cabinetry from KraftMaid. Tile work in these CBS homes is straightforward on the walls but trickier on the floors, because the original slab was never glass-smooth and any lippage from an old install needs correcting before the new tile goes down. We quote this work the same way we quote everything else: line-item, in writing, no change orders unless you’ve initialed them.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendale Lakes

We don’t install mystery brands off the back of a van. When a Kendale Lakes bathroom needs new windows or an upgrade to impact-rated glazing as part of the remodel, we’re quoting Simonton and PGT, both brands with deep Florida testing history and HVHZ ratings you can look up yourself. When the project calls for glass shower enclosures, we use frameless systems from local fabricators we’ve worked with for over a decade. Parts availability matters here too. Kendale Lakes sits right at the edge of the Everglades drainage basin, and humidity inside these block homes runs high year-round. We stock the seals, the mounting hardware, and the corrosion-resistant fasteners that this climate demands, which means fewer return trips and fewer delays waiting on an order from a warehouse in another state.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Kendale Lakes Homes

• Corroded cast iron drain lines. Homes built in the 1970s and early 1980s in Kendale Lakes used cast iron for the drain, waste, and vent system, and after 40 to 50 years in this humid South Florida climate, those pipes are typically rusted thin or cracked below the slab. We scope the lines before quoting, so the written estimate reflects what’s actually there, not a guess.
• High water table at the slab. Kendale Lakes abuts the Everglades drainage basin, and the water table sits unusually high under these homes. Any plumbing work below the slab often requires pumping during the rough-in phase, and waterproofing has to be done right the first time, because standing water under a bathroom floor in this neighborhood will find its way up through the slab eventually.
• HVHZ compliance triggers. Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules are the strictest in the country. If your bathroom remodel involves relocating a window, enlarging an exterior opening for a bigger shower, or adding any glass that faces the outside, the opening has to meet current impact standards. We pull the permit and we schedule the inspection, so the work gets signed off, not hidden.
• Original flat roofs over upstairs baths. Many second-story bathrooms in Kendale Lakes sit directly under original flat or low-slope concrete tile roofs that predate 1994 attachment standards. If your remodel involves replacing a vent boot or an exhaust fan penetration, we inspect the roof assembly around it, and if we find substandard connections, we talk to you about it in writing before the project moves forward. We also handle Roofing in Kendale Lakes if the work needs to extend beyond the bathroom footprint.
