AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miramar
A full bathroom remodel in Miramar typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and a smaller guest bath or half bath usually lands between $5,000 and $12,000. The real variable here isn’t the tile or the vanity. It’s what’s hiding inside the walls of Miramar’s older 33023 homes, where 1950s and 1960s CBS construction often lacks the hurricane tie-downs Broward County now requires before any permit gets signed off. We’ve remodeled enough bathrooms across Miramar to know exactly what to check before we quote, so the number we give you is the number you pay. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll walk your bathroom with you before any scope goes on paper.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Miramar’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Miramar. That’s not a slogan. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, and when the crew arrives at your home off University Drive or near Miramar Regional Park, it’s the same people whose name is on the truck. Our Bathroom Remodeling team has worked in enough 33023 homes to know what a pre-Andrew CBS house looks like behind the drywall, and we scope for it before we ever swing a hammer.
What Miramar homeowners tell us they value most is the paperwork. Every allowance, every change order, every scope adjustment arrives in writing before work proceeds. That means the price on your contract is the price you’ll see at the end, not a surprise invoice delivered after the tile is set. We pull permits on every eligible job in Miramar, and we treat the inspector like he works for you, not for us. If a pre-Andrew wall opening triggers a structural retrofit, you’ll know about it before the shower valve gets roughed in, and you’ll see the change order for it in writing first.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise backs every bathroom remodel we complete in Miramar. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call. No fine print, no runaround. Ask anyone off Pembroke Road or down toward the county line, and they’ll tell you the same thing: Barrett & Sons answers the phone, shows up on time, and stands behind the work.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Miramar
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
In a 1950s Miramar ranch, the original tub is often a cast-iron relic with a dated tile surround and a showerhead that hits you mid-chest. Converting that tub to a walk-in shower typically runs $3,500 to $10,000 in Miramar, depending on whether we’re keeping the existing drain location or moving it. Here’s the local catch: many of these older 33023 homes have plumbing roughed in at a depth that sits closer to that high water table than you’d want for a curbless shower pan, so we may need extra mastic and slope planning to keep water moving. We’ll check that before we quote, not after we demo.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in showers are the single most requested feature we install in Miramar, and the range here runs $4,500 to $12,000. That covers everything from a modest three-by-five shower with a basic valve to a larger custom pan with frameless glass and a bench. If your home is in the eastern part of Miramar’s 33023 corridor, we’ll also verify that the existing floor framing and any relocated drain line won’t conflict with the water table that sits just a few feet below grade. Tile selection, glass thickness, and whether you want a niche or a bench will move the price within that range, and we’ll put every one of those choices in writing on the scope.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Small bathroom remodels in Miramar usually run $5,000 to $12,000. We do a lot of these in the older flat-roof CBS ranches where the guest bath is small enough that you can touch both walls at once. A small bath remodel might mean a new vanity, toilet, tile floor, fresh paint, and a new light fixture, all done with the same permits and inspections we’d pull on a full gut. What we won’t do is treat it like a lesser job. The inspector still signs off, the change orders still arrive in writing, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise still applies.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in Miramar, and that’s where you’ll see the biggest difference between a national outfit and a local crew. We install KraftMaid and Cambria product that you can look up before you sign, not mystery brands off the back of a van. In homes near the Miramar Park of Commerce or down along Douglas Road, we see the same thing repeatedly: homeowners who picked a vanity online only to find it doesn’t clear the existing plumbing or cover the old footprint. We measure before we order, and the order goes on the change order in writing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miramar
We install and service Kohler, Delta, Moen, KraftMaid, and Cambria products throughout Miramar, and we keep common parts and fixtures stocked for the brands we recommend so a missing valve cartridge doesn’t stall your remodel for a week. If you’ve already picked a Techo-Bloc tile line or a Cambridge Paver accent for a bathroom threshold, we’re happy to work with it. The point is, we use materials you can verify by name, and we don’t swap them for something cheaper after the contract is signed. That’s how we’ve done it since 1998, and it’s how we do it for homeowners across Miramar today.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miramar Homes
Bathroom remodels in Miramar have a specific set of failure points tied to the age of the housing stock and the water table under it. Here’s what we run into most often:
- Pre-Andrew roofing connections hidden inside the walls. In the older blocks of 33023, it’s common to open a bathroom wall during a remodel and find no hurricane clips or straps at all connecting the roof trusses to the CBS block. That discovery triggers a full tie-down upgrade under Broward permit review, turning a simple vanity swap into a structural retrofit before the rough-in can pass.
- High water table complicating relocated drains. Miramar sits on South Florida’s low-lying limestone shelf, and the water table can rise within 2 to 4 feet of grade. If you want to move a toilet or shower drain in a 33023 bathroom, the new slope and mastic layout need to account for groundwater behavior, or you’ll end up with standing water and odor problems.
- Mold behind vinyl surrounds in high-humidity CBS homes. Many pre-1994 Miramar homes lack a proper vapor barrier, and the interior humidity runs high. A cheap vinyl or fiberglass surround installed over that condition will trap moisture behind the panel and grow mold inside a year. We address the moisture path before we hang the finish.
- Flat-roof ranch houses with undersized ceiling joists. Homeowners who want a freestanding tub in a 1950s flat-roof Miramar ranch sometimes find the ceiling joists are 2×6, not 2×10. That means the structure may not support the tub’s full weight without doubling the joists, which is an inspection point we flag before we order the tub.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Miramar, FL
Here are the line-item ranges we quote for Miramar’s bathroom work. These are the numbers we’ve held consistent across the market:
| Service | Price Range in Miramar |
|---|---|
| Full Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 - $12,000 |

| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Bathroom Vanity Installation | $800 - $3,000 |
What moves a Miramar bathroom project within these ranges is usually the same set of local factors: whether the home is pre-Andrew CBS with no hurricane tie-downs, whether the water table will interfere with a relocated drain line, and whether the existing flat-roof framing can carry a freestanding tub without reinforcement. We scope every one of those before we quote, and every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you a line-item number you can hold us to.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Miramar
Homes built in Miramar’s 33023 zip before 1994 typically lack hurricane clips or straps connecting roof trusses to the CBS walls, and Broward County’s current code requires a tie-down upgrade once an inspector sees that condition during a permitted remodel. That means a bathroom remodel that opens the wall to move a vanity or shower valve can trigger a structural retrofit before the rough-in passes. We scope for this during the estimate so the cost and schedule hit the contract before anyone swings a hammer. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your home.
In many parts of Miramar, the water table sits 2 to 4 feet below grade, which means any relocated drain line needs deeper bedding, extra slope, and careful mastic planning to keep water moving and keep groundwater out. We’ve moved drains in 33023 bathrooms without issue, but we check the grade and the existing rough-in depth before we promise anything. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll take a look at your specific floor plan.
Yes, in almost every case in Miramar, because a tub-to-shower conversion changes the plumbing fixture layout and often the drain size, which triggers a permit and an inspection under Broward County code. Skipping the permit is how a pre-Andrew home ends up red-tagged when the open-wall inspection reveals no hurricane clips. If a permit is required, we pull it, and the inspection is part of the job. Call (877) 610-1318 to confirm the permit path for your specific bathroom.
They’re slower because the inspector is looking for structural conditions that older CBS homes weren’t originally engineered to meet, and a bathroom that opens those walls exposes the absence of hurricane tie-downs, which then requires a retrofit before sign-off. We coordinate with our structural engineer ahead of the inspection so the retrofitted connections are documented and ready to sign. There’s no shortcut around that, and frankly, we wouldn’t want one. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what your home’s inspection will involve.
A small bathroom remodel in a 1950s Miramar ranch generally runs $5,000 to $12,000, while a full gut remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. The full remodel includes moving plumbing or going down to the studs, which exposes more of the pre-Andrew structure and adds tie-down retrofit and inspection time. The small remodel keeps the layout and replaces finishes, which usually stays under $12,000 unless a structural surprise emerges. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you which bucket your bathroom falls into.
When our crew opened the bathroom wall of a 1962 ranch in the 33023 corridor to move a vanity, they found no hurricane straps connecting the trusses to the CBS block. That’s typical for the era, but it still stopped the rough-in cold. We paused the job, coordinated with our structural engineer to retrofit tie-downs before the inspector signed off, then finished the Kohler tub-to-shower conversion and Cambria vanity top without a single failed inspection. That’s how a Miramar bathroom remodel is supposed to go: found early, fixed right, documented in writing.
