Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, written estimate.

- Written change orders before any price change. Always.
What To Look For in a Pinewood Bathroom Remodeler
Here’s the honest comparison. A contractor who works mostly in Broward County will bid your Pinewood bathroom without accounting for one simple fact: Pinewood is unincorporated Miami-Dade, which means no city hall to pull permits through. Everything goes through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department under High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, the toughest wind-load standard in the country. That changes what materials you can use, how the shower pan gets built, and what the inspector will sign off on. If your contractor hasn’t navigated that before, you’ll find out mid-project, and it won’t be cheap.
We’ve handled enough Bathroom Remodeling work in Pinewood to know which wall in a 1960s CBS house is load-bearing before we open it up, and which shower valve gets approved without triggering a plan revision. That local knowledge is the difference between a quote that holds and a quote that becomes a change order.

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his name is on every contract, every permit application, and every truck that pulls up in Pinewood. He publishes his license number. You can look it up. When we say you’ll get the truth, we mean the kind you can verify before signing anything.

Every Pinewood job includes permits pulled and inspections signed, and every price change 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.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Pinewood
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A complete gut and rebuild in Pinewood starts around $9,000 and can reach $28,000 depending on finishes and whether we’re moving plumbing. Most of Pinewood’s homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s, which means original cast iron drain lines and jalousie windows that won’t meet current code. We account for both in the first estimate, not the third.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installations in Pinewood run $4,500-$12,000. We build shower pans with Schluter waterproofing systems because Miami-Dade inspectors know the brand and approve it without back-and-forth. Your shower gets built once, inspected once, and it stays dry for decades.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the most common request we get from Pinewood homeowners trying to age in place. Tub-to-shower conversions run $3,500-$10,000 here. The old cast-iron tubs in Pinewood’s CBS homes are heavy and often rusted through, and removing one without cracking the original terrazzo floor beneath takes a careful hand. We bring in a Sterling or Grohe shower base where it fits, and we frame the opening to handle a frameless glass enclosure later if you want one.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation runs $800-$3,000, and we stock quality tile and fixture lines that carry Miami-Dade NOA numbers on file so the permit application doesn’t stall. If you’re updating a small bathroom near Gladeview or around West Little River, we can often combine these smaller scopes into one efficient project week.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pinewood
We install brands you can look up: Schluter for waterproofing, Sterling and Grohe for shower systems and fixtures, and we keep common parts stocked for Pinewood customers so a replacement cartridge or shower valve doesn’t leave your bathroom torn apart while someone waits on a freight truck. When your bathroom is down to the studs, the last thing you need is a five-day wait for a fitting. Our Pinewood customers get priority access to our local supplier network.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Pinewood Homes
- Rusted cast-iron drain lines. Homes built in the 1950s-1970s often have original cast iron that’s corroded through. We find it on half the full remodels we open up, and it changes the plumbing scope before the tile ever goes down.
- Failed shower pans from old lead liners. Pre-1990 Pinewood bathrooms frequently used lead or PVC pans that crack over time. By the time you see water staining the ceiling below, the subfloor is already compromised. Our Schluter system replaces it with a bonded waterproof membrane.
- Miami-Dade NOA paperwork gaps. If your last contractor pulled a permit without listing product approval numbers, the inspector may have flagged it. We file every window, door, and fixture with its NOA number on the application. We also handle Windows & Doors in Pinewood replacement when your remodel exposes failed jalousie framing.
- Undersized exhaust fans feeding mold. Pinewood’s humidity is relentless. A bathroom fan that only moves 50 CFM won’t keep up. We size and install fans that actually exchange the air in your square footage, and we seal the ceiling penetration properly so attic moisture doesn’t become a problem. We’ve seen the same issue on Roofing in Pinewood projects, where bathroom vents terminate in the attic instead of through the roof deck.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Pinewood, FL
Here’s what you can expect to pay in Pinewood for common bathroom scopes:
- Small bathroom remodel: $5,000-$12,000
- Full bathroom remodel: $9,000-$28,000

- Tub-to-shower conversion: $3,500-$10,000

What moves the needle? Moving plumbing lines, upgrading the electrical service for a heated floor or extra lighting, and whether the bathroom sits on an exterior wall where impact-rated window replacement becomes mandatory. Pinewood’s shallow limestone bedrock also adds cost when we need to trench for new drain lines, as does any structural tie-beam work required by HVHZ code. We give you a written line-item quote before you commit, and if anything changes, it arrives as a written change order first. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate in Pinewood.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Pinewood
A full bathroom remodel in Pinewood costs $9,000-$28,000 on average, while a small bathroom remodel runs $5,000-$12,000. Your exact number depends on whether you’re moving plumbing, the condition of your existing drain lines, and which finishes you select. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written, line-item estimate specific to your home.
Yes, every eligible Pinewood bathroom remodel includes permits pulled and inspections signed. Because Pinewood is unincorporated, everything runs through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department under HVHZ code, and we file the application with all required NOA numbers attached. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Most full bathroom remodels in Pinewood take three to five weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on the scope and whether we uncover hidden drain line or water damage work. Smaller projects like tub-to-shower conversions often finish in one to two weeks. We’ll give you a schedule in writing before we start.
If your bathroom has an exterior window or door and we’re touching that opening, the answer is usually yes. Miami-Dade’s HVHZ code requires impact-rated or protected openings on any replaced or newly created exterior penetration. We’ll tell you in the estimate if this applies to your project, and we can bundle it with our Windows & Doors in Pinewood service.
Yes. We offer a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans, $40 off any repair over $200, and free second opinions on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor. There’s no trip charge inside the county. Call (877) 610-1318 and mention which offer applies to you.
