AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across The Crossings
Bathroom remodeling in The Crossings typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with small bathrooms starting around $5,000 and tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Most jobs in this corner of Miami-Dade take two to five weeks once we open the walls. If you’re pricing a remodel in The Crossings, call (877) 610-1318 for a written, line-item estimate before you sign anything. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been pulling permits in this county since 1998.
We know 33186. We know the 1980s CBS homes off SW 120th Street, the townhome clusters near Three Lakes, the older sections of Kendallwood where original copper and single-pane aluminum are still doing their 1987 job. The Crossings isn’t just another zip code on our board; it’s where our crews work week in and week out, and that matters when a plan reviewer wants to see Miami-Dade NOA documentation on a shower valve before he’ll close out your rough-in.
Key takeaways for The Crossings homeowners:
- Full bathroom remodels here run $9,000-$28,000, with permits and HVHZ compliance built into the contract.
- Opening any wall triggers code upgrades, but only what the plan reviewer flags. We scope that before you commit.
- Every change order is written, priced, and signed before work moves. No surprises at the end.
- One call to (877) 610-1318 gets you a free estimate from someone who answers the phone.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is The Crossings’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not marketing copy; it’s the reason Bathroom Remodeling jobs in The Crossings get a level of accountability you won’t find from a call-center outfit. When we say we’ll be at your house Tuesday, the person saying it is the same one who shows up. Our name is on every truck, every contract, and every permit we file with Miami-Dade Building.
The Crossings has a long memory for contractors who cut corners. Many homes here are original 1980s construction, built before Andrew changed the code book in 1992, and we have seen exactly what that means inside a bathroom wall. Rotting sill plates under the tub deck. Single-pane windows that would never pass an HVHZ product approval today. Roof-to-wall strapping that exists only if a previous owner did the retrofit. We don’t just tile over these problems; we show them to you, price them, and fix them right.
Our customers in The Crossings tell us two things consistently. First, they like that Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and they can look it up before signing. Second, they like that a live person answers the phone 24/7, not a voicemail box in another state. When a question comes up mid-remodel, you call, a human picks up, and that human knows your job.
Every Barrett & Sons contract includes the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That promise means as much in The Crossings as anywhere we work, because we live twenty minutes away and we want to see you at the hardware store without crossing the street.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in The Crossings
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in The Crossings means gutting to the studs, addressing whatever the 1980s left behind, and rebuilding to current Miami-Dade code. We start with an inspection of what’s behind the walls, before we give you a fixed price. The Crossings housing stock is consistent enough that we know what we’re likely to find: pitted copper, insufficient strapping, maybe a window that won’t pass HVHZ review. We write allowances for these into your contract up front, so the scope is honest from day one.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade in The Crossings right now, especially in master bathrooms where a bulky 1980s tub eats half the floor plan. We install Schluter waterproofing systems as standard, and we bring impact-rated glass enclosures that meet Miami-Dade NOA requirements. Whether you want a curbless entry or a low-profile pan, we handle the slope, the drain relocation, and the moisture barrier so groundwater vapor from South Florida’s high water table doesn’t end up under your tile.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in The Crossings runs $3,500 to $10,000, and it’s the fastest way to make a dated bathroom feel current. We remove the old tub, inspect the framing and plumbing behind it, and rebuild the footprint as a walk-in shower. The existing drain location often works, which keeps cost down. But if we find pre-1992 roof-to-wall connections once the wall is open, the building department will flag them, and we’ll write that scope into a change order before we touch a nail.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes The Crossings homeowners don’t need a full gut; they need a vanity that isn’t water-swollen at the base, tile that isn’t original 1986 pink, and a shower valve that doesn’t screech every morning. We install Grohe and Sterling fixtures, plus vanities and countertops that hold up to South Florida humidity. We’ll match your existing footprint or reconfigure the layout, depending on what the rough-in allows. And we’ll tell you honestly if the subfloor needs attention before new tile goes down.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Crossings
We stock and install brands you can look up. Schluter for waterproofing. Grohe and Sterling for fixtures. GAF in case your bathroom remodel touches the roof line and you need matching underlayment. That’s the difference in The Crossings: a supplier might ship a statewide-approved product that fails Miami-Dade NOA, but we won’t put it on your wall. We know which products pass inspection here because we’ve had them pass, job after job, in 33186.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in The Crossings Homes
- Pitted copper supply lines. Limestone-aggressive water in South Florida eats copper from the inside. We see pinhole leaks and pitted elbows behind tub valves in original 1980s homes all over The Crossings.
- Failed or missing moisture barriers. South Florida’s water table sits high, and concrete slabs wick groundwater vapor. A fiberglass pan set directly on slab with no barrier traps that moisture, and within months you’re looking at mold under the finish floor.
- Non-compliant windows in wet areas. If your bathroom window is original single-pane aluminum, opening that wall triggers an HVHZ review. The plan reviewer won’t let you close it up with non-impact glass. We scope that before we begin.
- Unapproved shower valves. A valve that’s legal in Broward won’t always pass in Miami-Dade. If the NOA list doesn’t cover it, the plumbing inspection fails after the wall is closed. We avoid this by checking the list before we rough in.

What moves the number most in The Crossings is the age of your home. A 1985 CBS original will likely need more than a 2005 remodel, especially once the wall framing and window glazing get looked at. We also factor in the allowances for things we know we’ll find, like pitted copper or missing strapping. The contract line-items those, not as vague contingencies, but as priced allowances you approve before we spend them. That’s the difference between our $18,000 quote and a national outfit’s $14,000 phone quote that turns into $26,000 at the door. We give you the real number the first time.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in The Crossings
Because Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone product-approval rules kick in the moment a plan reviewer sees an opening in a wet-area wall. If your existing bathroom window is not HVHZ-compliant, which is common in original 1980s and 1990s homes in The Crossings, the building department will not let that wall be closed up with non-impact glass. We flag this in our initial scope and write the allowance in before you sign, so the upgrade isn’t a surprise at rough-in. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific bathroom might trigger.
We look for what we know is there. Pitting on copper supply lines from agressive water, sill plates rotted where a tub spout or shower arm leaked behind the finish, roof-to-wall strapping missing or undersized from before Andrew’s code overhaul, and moisture trapped between the slab and the original finish floor. Last month our crew opened a bathroom in the Kendallwood Lakes section of 33186 and found the original 1987 copper supply lines pitted from limestone-aggressive water behind the tub valve. We wrote a change order for a PEX repipe to the bathroom group, updated the rough-in inspection with the new materials, and had the plumbing sign-off before closing the wall. No extra trip, no failed inspection. That’s how we work.
Even a remodel that doesn’t add square footage still has to answer to the plan reviewer on a few points: any exterior wall that’s opened must be brought to current HVHZ strapping requirements if the connection is found to be pre-1992, any window in the wet area must be Miami-Dade NOA listed, and any new plumbing fixture or valve must be on the county’s approved list. We don’t have to retrofit your entire house because you’re redoing a bathroom. We only have to fix what the reviewer flags in the scope of this permit. That’s written into our contracts so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
You can absolutely keep the existing tub if it’s structurally sound and the tub shoe and overflow are in good shape. We’ll tell you if it’s worth saving; many original steel tubs in The Crossings are still perfectly serviceable. What code may force, depending on what the wall shows when we open it, is strapping or moisture-barrier work behind the tub. If we don’t open the wall, we clean the existing surface, prep it correctly, and tile over it. If we do open the wall, we fix what the wall tells us to fix. Either way, we price it before we touch it. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your tub.
Because materials that pass statewide Florida product approval don’t always appear on Miami-Dade’s NOA list, and the HVAC-metal-rich HVHZ list is stricter than what’s accepted one county north. A supplier running a multi-county route often can’t tell the difference, and they’ll send a Broward-zone window or valve to a The Crossings address. It happens often enough that we check every product against the NOA database before it goes on our truck. That’s the local knowledge you’re paying for when you hire someone who works in The Crossings every week, not someone who visits once a quarter. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate from a crew that already knows what passes inspection here.
