AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miami Shores
A full bathroom remodel in Miami Shores typically runs $10,620 to $33,040, with walk-in shower installations landing between $5,310 and $14,160. Those numbers reflect the reality of working in a village with its own permitting system and homes built mostly between the 1930s and 1960s. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and when you call (877) 610-1318, you’ll reach a live person who knows Miami Shores Village codes, not a call center reading from a script.
Miami Shores is one of those places that surprises contractors. It looks like a quiet residential pocket off Biscayne Boulevard, but every permit runs through Village Hall, not Miami-Dade County. Get that wrong and a bathroom project stalls for weeks. We’ve been through enough village inspections on NE 96th Street, Griffing Boulevard, and around the Miami Shores Country Club to know what the reviewers look for. That local knowledge is worth real time and money on your remodel.
If you’re planning a Bathroom Remodeling project in the 33153 ZIP code, call us for a free estimate. We’ll walk the space with you, go over what the village will want to see, and put every number in writing before any work starts.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Miami Shores’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run crews on most Miami Shores jobs. That’s not a marketing line; when you hire us, the name on the truck is the name of the person answering your questions. Miami Shores homeowners tell us the same thing: they’ve been burned by outfits that quoted one price and delivered another bill. We don’t work that way. Every allowance and every change order arrives in writing before a single fixture gets touched.
Our Miami Shores customers see the difference in the details. We pull the right permits through Miami Shores Village, and we stand with you when the inspector walks through. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. It means the work gets checked by someone who has no reason to tell us what we want to hear.
Every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. That’s the guarantee in writing on every contract we sign in Miami Shores.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Miami Shores
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Miami Shores means taking a space in one of those late-1940s CBS homes and bringing it into the present without erasing what makes the house work. We handle layout changes, plumbing relocations, new electrical, waterproofing, tile, and fixtures. In Miami Shores, we often find original terrazzo floors under old vinyl; when we do, we’ll tell you whether they’re worth keeping and integrating into the new design.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested bathroom upgrade we hear about from homeowners along NE 103rd Street and the streets around Griffin Park. The humidity in Miami Shores is brutal on old shower pans and grout lines. We rebuild them with proper waterproofing systems rated for high-humidity environments, not just a fresh layer of tile over failing substrate. A curbless entry with a frameless glass enclosure changes how the whole bathroom feels.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
If you have a cast-iron tub from the Eisenhower era and you’re ready to stop stepping over a 15-inch wall to shower, a tub-to-shower conversion is the answer. In Miami Shores, these projects usually run $4,130 to $11,800, depending on plumbing changes and finish selections. We handle the demo, the drain relocation, the waterproofing, and the glass work so you don’t have to coordinate three different crews.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes you don’t need a full gut job; you need a vanity that isn’t crumbling at the base and tile that doesn’t show every year of Miami Shores humidity. We install vanities, porcelain and ceramic tile, and fixtures from brands you can look up and verify. For Miami Shores homes with vintage character, we’ll help you choose finishes that respect the Mediterranean Revival look without pretending it’s still 1953.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Shores
We install what we’d put in our own homes. For bathroom windows and glass enclosures in Miami Shores, that means brands like PGT and Simonton, which carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance ratings you’ll need for exterior openings in the HVHZ. For interior fixtures and materials, we work with suppliers who stock quality lines that hold up to constant humidity. We don’t show up with mystery materials off the back of a van. Ask us what we’re installing, then look it up yourself.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Shores Homes
- Rusted-out cast iron tubs and old jalousie windows. Homes built in the 1940s and 1950s in Miami Shores often still have their original cast iron tubs and jalousie bathroom windows. The tubs weigh 300 pounds and the windows leak and corrode in the salt air from Biscayne Bay. Both need to be addressed during a bathroom remodel before they cause subfloor or wall damage.
- Missing wall insulation and single-pipe plumbing. Many original Miami Shores homes were built with little or no wall insulation. Add that to single-pipe plumbing that hasn’t been updated, and you get bathrooms that sweat, pipes that knock, and drywall that fails behind the tile. We open the walls and fix the real problems while the room is apart.
- Shower pans that fail from constant humidity exposure. The humidity in Miami Shores does not let up. Shower pans from the 1980s and 1990s fail quietly behind the tile, and by the time you see the water stain on the ceiling below, the framing is already compromised. We rebuild pans with modern waterproofing systems built for South Florida conditions.
- Village-required improvements that catch people off guard. When you pull a bathroom permit in Miami Shores Village, the reviewers may require updating something unrelated to your original scope-like bringing an old electrical panel up to code or replacing a non-compliant exterior window with an NOA-rated product. We tell you about these requirements before the work starts, in writing, so the inspection doesn’t become an expensive surprise.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Miami Shores, FL

Yes. Every bathroom remodel we do in Bathroom Remodeling in Miami Shores includes the village permits and inspections. We prepare the drawings, submit through Village Hall, meet the inspector on site, and close out every permit. Permits are not optional in Miami Shores, and there is no such thing as a quiet remodel. We handle it so you don’t have to.
Not without a written change order that you sign first. That’s our rule in Miami Shores and everywhere else. If we open a wall and find something unexpected, we stop and bring you a written scope and price before proceeding. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.
Miami Shores bathroom remodels generally cost 5 to 15 percent more than comparable work in unincorporated Miami-Dade, largely because of the village’s separate permitting and architectural review process. The extra money buys you a contractor who knows the system and doesn’t lose two weeks figuring it out. That efficiency matters more than the permit fee itself.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every completed bathroom job in Miami Shores, written on the contract and honored with one call to Tom Barrett. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. No forms, no fight.
