Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Richmond West
A full bathroom remodel in Richmond West typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions starting around $3,500 and walk-in shower installations between $4,500 and $12,000. Most projects take two to five weeks depending on whether you’re reconfiguring plumbing or keeping the existing footprint. If you live anywhere between SW 152nd Avenue and the Turnpike, we can have Tom Barrett or one of his sons at your door within a day or two to walk the space and put a written estimate in your hands.
Barrett & Sons Construction has worked on Richmond West homes since the late 1990s, and we know exactly what these houses throw at you. The concrete block construction that makes your home hurricane-tough also makes bathroom work trickier than in frame-built houses, and the high water table here changes how we plan shower pan installation and any below-grade drain work. Call us at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and you’ll talk to a live person, not a voicemail box.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Richmond West’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Our name is on the truck, and Tom Barrett’s name is on the license. We’re the same owner-operated crew that Richmond West homeowners along SW 152nd Avenue and near Zoo Miami have been calling since the late 1990s. Ask anyone in the 33177 zip code who’s had bathroom work done, or look up our license number yourself before you sign anything. We publish it because we want you to.
When Richmond West homeowners tell us about their last contractor, we hear the same story: a national company quoted one number, showed up with a different one, and the permit never got pulled. That doesn’t happen with us. Every scope change, every allowance, every price adjustment arrives as a written change order before our crew touches a single tile. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we insist on pulling permits and scheduling inspections on every eligible bathroom remodel.
We stock Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling shower bases, Grohe fixtures, and other name-brand materials that are serviceable locally, so you’re never waiting on a part from three states away. Because we’re one county over, Richmond West customers see fast scheduling and straightforward communication. Tom or one of his sons is on-site most days, not a project manager you’ve never met.
We’re part of the Richmond West community. When a water table issue or an old Andrew-era pipe surprises us mid-project, we handle it the way a neighbor would: we tell you what we found, we write it down, and we fix it right. Not everything is predictable in a house built before the 1992 code overhaul, but how we respond to it always is.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Richmond West
Every job starts with a conversation about how you use the bathroom, not a push toward the most expensive option. Here’s what we handle most often in Richmond West:
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel means we’re taking the room down to the studs or block and rebuilding it properly. In Richmond West homes built in the late 80s and early 90s, we often find original galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that need replacement. We plan for that up front, not as a surprise line item. Full bathroom remodels in Richmond West typically run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size, layout changes, and finish level.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Older Richmond West bathrooms usually have a tub-shower combo that’s seen better decades. We convert them into curbless or low-curb walk-in showers using Schluter waterproofing membranes, which handle the high humidity that comes with living at Miami-Dade’s western edge near the Everglades. Walk-in shower installation in Richmond West runs $4,500 to $12,000, with frameless glass enclosures quoted separately so there are no surprises.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
The tub-to-shower conversion is the single most popular project in Richmond West right now, especially for homeowners over 60 who want to age in place without leaving the neighborhood. If a curb is a trip hazard for you or a family member, we can install a zero-threshold shower with a Sterling base and Grohe pressure-balanced valve. Tub-to-shower conversions in Richmond West run $3,500 to $10,000, and we keep the permit pulled so the work passes inspection and adds real resale value.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Between the humidity and the hard water that comes through Miami-Dade’s municipal supply, Richmond West bathrooms punish cheap fixtures. We install solid vanity cabinetry, large-format porcelain tile, and name-brand Grohe valves that don’t corrode in a few seasons. Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000, and tile work is quoted per square foot with a written scope before we start. If your grout is failing or your vanity is swelling from moisture, we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth repairing or replacing before we ever hand you a bid.

Trusted Brands We Service in Richmond West
We install materials you can research, not mystery brands off a van. For Richmond West bathrooms, we regularly work with Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling shower bases and tubs, and Grohe fixtures. These brands hold up to the specific conditions in your home: constant humidity from the Everglades to the west, hard municipal water, and the expansion and contraction that happens in concrete block houses. Because we’re so close to Richmond West, we can source parts quickly when a specific valve cartridge or drain assembly needs to match what’s already in your wall. That matters when your only bathroom is torn apart and you’re showering at your daughter’s place in South Miami Heights.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Richmond West Homes
- Undersized exhaust ventilation. Many late-80s and early-90s Richmond West originals have a builder-grade fan that never moved enough air for Miami-Dade humidity. We upgrade vent runs and fan CFM on nearly every full remodel, because a bathroom that can’t breathe will rot its own drywall in three years.
- Granite and cultured marble from the Andrew era. Homes built or renovated around 1992 often have cultured marble vanities that are now cracked, yellowed, or separating at the seams. Removing them usually reveals grout-work done before modern waterproofing standards, which is why we always budget for a Schluter membrane behind the new shower.
- Water intrusion at the shower pan. In Richmond West, where the water table sits just a few feet below your slab, a leaking shower pan doesn’t just ruin your bathroom, it can contribute to moisture issues in the concrete itself. We see this frequently in homes built before the post-Andrew code overhaul.
- Improper previous work. The most common thing we find is a tile job done directly over drywall with little or no waterproofing because the last contractor said permits were optional. We correct that by pulling the permit, installing proper waterproofing, and giving you a written change order for anything we uncover.
