AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Scott Lake
A full bathroom remodel in Scott Lake typically runs $9,000-$28,000, with small bathroom remodels landing between $5,000 and $12,000. Those ranges reflect what we see on real jobs in the 33056 ZIP, where homes built between 1955 and 1980 come with their own set of structural quirks. If you’re planning a bathroom update, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a written, line-by-line scope before anything gets touched.
Scott Lake isn’t like the newer subdivisions popping up around Miami-Dade. The houses here are solid CBS construction, mostly single-story, and a lot of them still carry original bathroom layouts from the 1960s and 70s – cast iron tubs, small footprints, plumbing stacks that haven’t moved in fifty years. That’s not a problem if you know what you’re working with. We do. Tom Barrett and his sons have been walking through doors in this community long enough to know which walls hide what, and we write every allowance down before we ever swing a hammer.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Scott Lake’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Founded in 1998 and owner-operated by Tom Barrett, Barrett & Sons Construction is the name on the truck, not a franchise dispatching strangers. When you call about Bathroom Remodeling in Scott Lake, you’re talking to someone who lives twenty minutes away and answers his own phone. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number – look it up before you sign anything. That’s how we’ve done business for over 29 years.
Scott Lake homeowners have told us the same story more times than we can count: a national outfit quoted one number on the phone, then showed up with a different number at the door. That doesn’t happen with us. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every single price difference arrives as a written change order before work moves forward. The permit inspector works for you, not for me – that’s why I like him. And we pull permits on every eligible job in Scott Lake because the county requires it, and because the last contractor most customers used told them permits were optional.
Our Scott Lake customers also get the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract. If something’s not right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. No fine print, no runaround.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Scott Lake
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Scott Lake means taking the room down to the studs (or the block, in most of these CBS homes) and rebuilding it to current code. In this ZIP, that often involves replacing cast iron waste lines that have been in the slab since the Johnson administration. We handle the full scope: layout, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish. A full bathroom remodel in Scott Lake runs $9,000-$28,000 depending on square footage and material choices, and every dollar gets written down before work starts.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Scott Lake typically costs $4,500-$12,000, and it’s one of the most requested upgrades we do for homeowners in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who want to age in place. Curbless showers, built-in benches, grab bar blocking behind the tile, handheld showerheads – we build it right the first time so you’re not tearing it out in five years. In Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, shower enclosures and glass have to meet wind-load standards that don’t apply in Broward County, so we only install products with a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in Scott Lake runs $3,500-$10,000 and is often the single smartest move for a 1960s bathroom where the tub is scratched, stained, or just taking up space you’d rather have as a walk-in. The older Scott Lake homes have cast iron tubs that weigh 300 pounds and sit directly on the slab. Removing one is loud, dusty work, but it’s work we’ve done dozens of times in this neighborhood. We handle the drain relocation, the waterproofing, and the finished tile surround.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Scott Lake costs $800-$3,000 for the vanity itself, plus counter and sink work. We stock and install named brands you can look up – no mystery materials off a van. Tile work in these older CBS homes often means correcting years of settling that left slightly uneven walls, so proper substrate prep matters more here than in a newer build. We take the time to do that prep right, because shortcuts show up in the grout lines a year later.

Trusted Brands We Service in Scott Lake
For bathroom windows and any exterior openings that fall within the bathroom’s footprint, we work with Simonton, PGT, and CGI products that carry Miami-Dade NOA listings – a requirement in Scott Lake’s HVHZ that out-of-county contractors routinely overlook. That matters when the county inspector walks through your door. We keep a running inventory of common parts for Scott Lake jobs and can usually source specialty items within a few days. If your bathroom remodel in Scott Lake touches an exterior window, we’ll make sure the window is on the right approval list before the rough opening gets cut. For exterior glass and window work, we also handle Windows & Doors in Scott Lake as a related service.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Scott Lake Homes
- Water intrusion at the slab edge. Scott Lake sits on flat limestone with minimal natural drainage relief. During heavy summer rain, water can pond near the foundation and wick into the bathroom’s bottom plates and drywall. We check the slab and the exterior grade before we ever start tile work.
- Cast iron drain lines at the end of their life. Homes built between 1955 and 1980 in the 33056 ZIP often still have original cast iron waste pipes under the slab. We’ve opened bathroom floors in Scott Lake and found pipes that crumble when touched. Replacement adds cost, but ignoring it means redoing the floor in five years.
- Pre-Andrew window and opening issues. If your bathroom has an exterior window, it may predate the post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul. Scott Lake is in Miami-Dade’s HVHZ, and inspectors will flag any window that lacks a Miami-Dade NOA. We address that before finishing the bathroom walls.
- Original 1960s layouts with no ventilation. Many original Scott Lake bathrooms have no exhaust fan and one small window. Humidity builds, mold follows. We install code-compliant ventilation as part of every full remodel, routed properly through the roof or soffit, and our Roofing in Scott Lake team handles the penetrations and flashing so everything ties together.
