AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Sunny Isles Beach
Bathroom remodeling in Sunny Isles Beach typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut renovation and $4,500 to $12,000 for a walk-in shower installation, with most projects completing in three to six weeks. The catch here isn’t the labor, it’s the permitting. Every bathroom inside a Sunny Isles Beach condo tower falls under Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, which means your remodel gets inspected at a level most Florida contractors never see. We’ve worked inside towers from Collins Avenue to the Intracoastal side since our crews first started serving this barrier island, and we know exactly what those inspectors look for. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what a compliant quote actually includes.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sunny Isles Beach’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett put his name on the truck in 1998, and his sons run the crews that work inside Sunny Isles Beach condos today. That’s not a marketing line, it’s how we operate. When a building manager at a tower off 33160 needs proof of insurance, permits, and a written scope before letting a crew through the lobby, we hand it over without a phone call. Sunny Isles Beach HOA boards tend to ask for a lot. We’re used to that.
Our reputation in Sunny Isles Beach comes from walking into luxury high-rises and doing the job the way the building’s rules demand, not the way a contract writer assumed. We background check every crew member, they show up uniformed, and a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day. When a Sunny Isles Beach homeowner wants to verify who they’re hiring, Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable, right now, before you sign anything.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Sunny Isles Beach
Most of what we do in Sunny Isles Beach falls into a few categories. The towers here, from the older 1960s garden condos to the glass supertalls north of the 826, all share the same set of rules: wet-area waterproofing documentation, HOA sign-offs, and HVHZ-rated materials. Here’s how we handle the most common jobs.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in a Sunny Isles Beach condo means gutting down to the subfloor, which brings Miami-Dade’s waterproofing and plumbing review into play. You can’t just swap finishes and call it done. We coordinate with your building’s management office before demolition, pull the required permits, and document every layer so the final HVHZ inspection goes through without a stop-work order. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s why we like him in the room.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade in Sunny Isles Beach, especially in the older 1960s and 1970s concrete condos that still hold the original 30-inch tubs. We install Schluter waterproofing systems that hold up to the island’s salt air and meet the documentation standards your HOA will request. From curbless entries to the fixtures themselves, every component gets selected with the building’s wind and moisture exposure in mind.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in Sunny Isles Beach is technically simple but regulatory dense. If the drain moves, the HOA needs written notification. If the glass enclosure gets replaced, it has to carry an HVHZ impact rating. We handle both sides of that: the plumbing work with permits pulled and inspected, and the enclosure spec’d and submitted to your condo board before it’s fabricated. That’s the difference between a one-week finish and a two-month stall.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity replacement and tile work in Sunny Isles Beach condos usually ride on top of a larger remodel, but plenty of units come to us for fixture-level updates. We stock and install Grohe and Kohler lines, and we’re familiar with what the local supply houses keep on hand for towers in 33160. If you need a vanity that fits a 48-inch niche in a 1970s floor plan, we measure, quote, and install it right the first time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunny Isles Beach
We carry premium brands you can look up, not mystery names off a van. In Sunny Isles Beach bathrooms we regularly install Schluter waterproofing, Grohe fixtures, and Kohler tubs and enclosures. These aren’t builder-grade products, and they’re chosen because they hold up under the salt spray and humidity that hit this island from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal. Because we keep relationships with the regional distributors that serve Miami-Dade’s coastal market, special-order parts reach Sunny Isles Beach quickly, often within days, not weeks.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Sunny Isles Beach Homes
- Corroded fasteners and drywall failure from salt spray. A bathroom on the 30th floor of a Collins Avenue tower is still within direct salt-spray range. Standard interior fasteners corrode within a few years. We spec stainless and epoxy-coated hardware even on non-structural work.
- HOA stop-work orders over uncovered waterproofing. Most towers east of Collins Avenue require written approval for wet-area waterproofing before you open the subfloor. Skipping that step triggers a management stop-work and a costly redo. We get the sign-off first.
- Frameless glass enclosures that fail HVHZ review. A glass shower door that meets Florida Building Code but not the stricter High Velocity Hurricane Zone wind rating gets rejected at final inspection. Then the owner’s certificate of occupancy stalls. We order HVHZ-rated glass from the start.
- Misjudged subfloor slopes on barrier-island concrete. The original concrete slabs in many older Sunny Isles Beach condos were poured fast and flat. Converting a tub to a shower often means repitching the floor to drain, which requires waterproofing documentation the building will ask to see.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Sunny Isles Beach, FL
In Sunny Isles Beach you’re paying for two things: the remodel itself and the compliance work around it. A full bathroom remodel in a high-rise runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on the scope, while a small bathroom remodel in an older garden condo starts closer to $5,000 to $12,000. Here’s how the line items break out in this market.
| Service | Sunny Isles Beach Price Range |
|---|---|
| Full Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 - $10,000 |
| Bathroom Vanity Installation | $800 - $3,000 |
The range depends on whether you’re moving plumbing, what your tower’s HOA requires for glass and waterproofing, and whether the unit sits in a post-2000 supertall with higher common-area access costs or an older low-rise with simpler logistics. Every quote we give in Sunny Isles Beach is a written line-item scope, not a number scrawled on a business card. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate, and we’ll put the actual scope in writing before any work begins.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Sunny Isles Beach
Yes. Every bathroom remodel in Sunny Isles Beach that touches plumbing, electrical, or the building envelope triggers Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone inspection pathway, which is separate from and stricter than the standard Florida Building Code review. The inspector specifically verifies impact-rated glazing, load-path connectors, and waterproofing documentation at each stage. If you hire a contractor who doesn’t know this, expect a stop-work order and re-inspection fees. We schedule these inspections as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what your specific unit will need.
No. Frameless glass shower enclosures in Sunny Isles Beach condo towers must meet the HVHZ impact rating, which is stricter than the Florida Building Code standard. A standard enclosure will pass a normal inspection but fail the HVHZ sign-off, which means your final inspection gets withheld and your insurance carrier may flag the unpermitted work. We order HVHZ-rated glass enclosures from fabricators who work regularly with towers in 33160, and we submit the spec to your HOA before the glass is cut. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll verify what your building actually requires.
A compliant quote in Sunny Isles Beach includes line items for HVHZ-rated glass, stainless or epoxy-coated fasteners, waterproofing documentation that your HOA will accept, and the permits and inspections Miami-Dade will demand. A cheap quote leaves those out and then hits you with a change order after the subfloor is open or the glass fails inspection. Every Barrett & Sons quote includes the scope in writing, allowances in writing, and change orders in writing before any work changes. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written estimate that won’t surprise you at the door.
A documented HVHZ bathroom remodel with a signed inspection can keep your renewal from getting flagged, especially in the luxury towers along Collins Avenue where insurers now ask for proof of compliant work. It gives you paperwork to file with your condo association and your carrier showing the work met the higher wind and moisture standards. Without that sign-off, a future claim can be denied, and your premium can spike. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what documentation we leave behind on every job.
Yes, in pretty much every tower in Sunny Isles Beach, you need written HOA approval before you open the subfloor or move a drain in a wet area. The management wants to see waterproofing plans and know a licensed contractor is doing the work. We’ve seen units get hit with stop-work orders over a drain move that wasn’t run past the board first. We handle that approval process for you, with the paperwork in your hands before the first day of demolition. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain what your building will ask for.
