Bathroom Remodeling in Palmetto Estates - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Palmetto Estates

A full bathroom remodel in Palmetto Estates typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with small baths starting around $5,000 and walk-in showers landing between $4,500 and $12,000. Those aren’t numbers pulled from a national chart. They reflect what we see when we open up CBS block homes built in the 1950s and 1960s around 33157, where the plumbing has been patched across three generations and the tile was laid before anyone thought about waterproofing membranes.

Call (877) 610-1318

We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been remodeling bathrooms in Miami-Dade County since 1998. If you live off SW 152nd Street or near the neighborhoods around Palmetto Estates Park, we’ve probably worked on a house within earshot of yours. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get Tom Barrett or one of his sons on the line, not a call center. We’ll talk about your bathroom the way we’d talk about our own: straight, with numbers in writing, and no surprises waiting at the end.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Palmetto Estates’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Palmetto Estates sits inside Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which sounds like a roofing subject until you realize it shapes how every bathroom gets built here too. A wall opened up for a shower valve can reveal framing that predates modern hurricane-strap requirements. We’ve learned to expect that, because we work these streets constantly. The permit inspector knows us by name, and we like it that way. The inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.

Tom Barrett has put his name, address, and license number on every contract since day one. You can look it up before you sign anything, and you should. When a crew pulls up to a Palmetto Estates home, it’s Tom’s sons and their teams, background-checked and uniformed. Not strangers dispatched from a regional office. Every scope change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise goes on every bathroom remodel we sign in Palmetto Estates. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print, no “that’s not covered.” Ask anyone on your street. Or look up the license number yourself.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Palmetto Estates

Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles every phase of the job in-house, from demolition to final tile. Here’s what most Palmetto Estates homeowners call us for.

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full gut-and-rebuild in Palmetto Estates means pulling out fixtures that have been in place since the Johnson administration and starting fresh. We open the walls, inspect the framing behind the tub surround, replace rotted sill plates where moisture found a way in, and bring the plumbing up to current Miami-Dade code before any tile goes up. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in showers in Palmetto Estates are the single most requested upgrade we do. The old tub-shower combos in these 1960s-era CBS homes have narrow footprints, and homeowners want a curbless entry with a bench and a handheld sprayer. Walk-in shower installation in Palmetto Estates runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on the size of the opening and whether you’re going with a standard pan or a custom tile base with linear drain.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Converting a tub to a shower is the fastest way to make a Palmetto Estates guest bath feel larger without moving a wall. We remove the old cast iron tub, which in these homes can weigh 300 pounds and requires cutting in place, then reframe the footprint for a properly sloped shower pan. A tub-to-shower conversion in Palmetto Estates typically runs $3,500 to $10,000, including tile, glass, and plumbing rough-in.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Sometimes the bones of the bathroom are fine and the vanity, tile, and fixtures just look tired. We install and replace vanities in Palmetto Estates homes, which often means working around original cast-iron drain locations that aren’t centered for modern double-sink cabinets. Tile work gets a waterproofing membrane behind it, which older local bathrooms frequently lack. Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000; full tile and fixture updates depend on square footage and material grade.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palmetto Estates

We carry premium brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. In bathrooms, that means Cambria quartz for vanity tops and solid, name-brand tile and plumbing fixtures. What we don’t do is substitute an off-brand shower valve mid-project without a written change order. If we spec a brand, you can verify it yourself. Palmetto Estates homeowners appreciate that, especially the ones who’ve been handed a different bill at the door by a company that quoted one price over the phone.

While bathrooms are what this page is about, we also handle Roofing in Palmetto Estates and Windows & Doors in Palmetto Estates. A lot of our bathroom clients ask about water intrusion from above while we’re already in the house, so it’s worth knowing we can take care of both.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Palmetto Estates Homes

• Water-damaged subfloor under original tile. These CBS homes were built on concrete slabs, but years of failing caulk and missing waterproofing means the slab around the tub and toilet often has spalling and efflorescence. We grind it down, seal it, and build back up properly before new tile goes in.
• Corroded original cast-iron drains. Homes from the 1950s and 1960s in 33157 still run on the original cast iron waste lines. When we open a wall or a floor, we often find paper-thin pipe that crumbles on contact. That means budget a drain replacement line item from the start.
• Wall framing not plumb. After 60 years of settling on Palmetto Estates’ stiff oolitic limestone substrate, walls in these block homes can be half an inch out of square in four feet. A proper tile installation requires us to shim and float walls first, or the tile looks wrong immediately.
• HVHZ-level moisture concerns. Bathrooms in Palmetto Estates sit in one of the most humid, rain-heavy pockets of Miami-Dade, averaging over 60 inches of rainfall a year. Exhaust ventilation in older homes is frequently undersized or vented into the attic rather than outside, which turns a new bathroom into a mold incubator. We correct the venting as part of the job.
