AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Aventura
Bathroom remodeling in Aventura runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with smaller jobs like a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000. For most Aventura condo owners, the real variable isn’t the tile; it’s the building. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve spent 29 years working inside the kind of high-rise towers that define this city. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail box.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Aventura’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That matters in Aventura because the job isn’t just the bathroom. It’s the freight elevator reservation, the HOA work-hour rules, the party-wall notice, and the building’s SB 4-D milestone inspection report. A national outfit quoting over the phone doesn’t know to ask about any of that. We do, because we’re in these buildings every week.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team has pulled permits for work in towers along West Country Club Drive, around Aventura Mall, and in buildings off Yacht Club Way. When you call us for a quote, we ask about your building first. Not because we’re nosy, but because it changes what the job costs and how long it takes. And every price change on our jobs arrives as a written change order before the work happens. That’s not a marketing line; it’s how we’ve run the business since day one.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Aventura
Aventura’s housing stock is different from almost anywhere else in Miami-Dade. You’re not remodeling a single-family home with a two-car garage and a driveway for the tile saw. You’re working on the 17th floor of a 1980s tower with a freight elevator that needs a reservation and a condo board that wants to see your waterproofing plan before you cut drywall. Here’s what we handle most often.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A complete gut renovation in an Aventura condo usually means coordinating plumbing rough-in with the building’s riser schedule, which isn’t something you deal with in a house. We’ve done full remodels in towers across 33180, from master baths with water views to guest baths with no windows at all. Every job starts with a written scope and a written allowance schedule, so you know exactly what you’re approving before the demo hammer comes out.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Aventura runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on size, glass, and whether the building requires specific waterproofing assemblies. Many of these older towers have cast-iron drain lines and concrete subfloors, which means the shower pan slope has to be built out rather than cut in. Our crew sizes the pan for the actual drain location, not the showroom drawing.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is one of the most common requests in Aventura’s older condos, where the original tub is fiberglass, scratched, and 40 years old. A tub-to-shower conversion in Aventura typically costs $3,500-$10,000. The big variable is the drain: moving a tub drain to a shower drain center point often means opening the slab, and in a high-rise, that’s a building-level conversation, not a unit-level one. We coordinate with the condo association from the start.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Aventura runs $800-$3,000, and tile work is usually quoted per square foot after we see the substrate. One thing to know about Aventura specifically: any window, exhaust vent, or even certain frameless glass panels in the bathroom may need Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance approval because the city sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. We spec fixtures and glass that pass inspection the first time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Aventura
We don’t install mystery brands off the back of a van. For bathroom projects in Aventura, we regularly work with Simonton for impact-rated bath windows, PGT for units that need HVHZ-compliant glazing, and CGI where the building’s engineer has specified a particular impact rating. Having those relationships means we can usually get the exact product your building requires without a six-week wild-goose chase through a big-box supplier. If your condo board has already approved a specific brand, bring us the spec and we’ll quote it honestly.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Aventura Homes
Aventura bathrooms fail in predictable ways. Here’s what we find when we open up walls in these towers.
- SB 4-D milestone inspection entanglement: A building’s structural inspection flags common-area concrete spalling behind your bathroom wall, and suddenly your simple remodel is tied to a building-wide remediation permit. We check the report before we quote, not after the demo.
- Non-compliant fixtures failing inspection: You bought a window or a vent fan that doesn’t carry Miami-Dade NOA approval. It fails sign-off, and now you’re paying for a reorder while the bathroom sits open. We spec compliant products from the first line item.
- Condo work-hour and freight elevator conflicts: A crew that tries to haul debris through the passenger elevator at 3 p.m. can get the project shut down mid-install. We book the freight elevator, follow the association’s hours, and post party-wall notices before we start.
- Waterproofing failures from decades of humidity: Aventura sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, and 40 years of salt air does real damage to shower pans, grout, and backer board. A remodel here often means rebuilding the waterproofing envelope, not just retiling over it.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Aventura
Yes, in almost every Aventura tower, you need the association’s written approval before any plumbing, waterproofing, or structural work begins. Your board may also require a specific contractor registration, insurance certificates, and a plumbing riser shut-down window. We handle the paperwork, but the board’s approval timeline affects your start date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your building requires.
If your building is within 3 miles of the coast and 30-plus years old, which captures nearly every major tower in Aventura, its milestone inspection report may have flagged common-area concrete near your unit. If your bathroom’s subfloor or wall ties into a flagged area, the permit freezes until the structural work is resolved. We’ve had remodels delayed weeks because of this. We check the report before we quote so you don’t get a surprise stop-work.
Because Aventura is inside Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, anything that penetrates the exterior wall or window assembly must carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance approval. A generic box-store window or vent fan won’t pass inspection. We specify Simonton, PGT, or CGI products where the building requires them, and we let you know when a cheaper fixture just isn’t legal in your building.
Usually not, for reasons specific to Aventura’s building stock. Hollywood and North Miami have more single-family homes, where staging is simpler and there’s no freight elevator to book or work-hour cap to honor. Aventura’s high-rise condos add logistics cost: freight reservations, party-wall notices, slower permit approvals, and sometimes an engineer’s stamp. Expect 10-20% more than a comparable job in a house. We’ll show you the line items so you can see exactly where the building’s costs land.
It means notifying your adjacent neighbors in writing before we start any work that creates significant noise or vibration on a shared wall. In a high-rise bathroom remodel, that’s most of the demo phase. Your condo association may have a required form and a lead time, often three to seven days. We prepare and post it, and we respect the building’s start and stop times. It keeps the job from getting shut down and keeps your neighbors from becoming enemies.
The Aventura Job Nobody Quotes For
Because Aventura’s residential stock is overwhelmingly high-rise condos from the 1970s through the 1990s, a bathroom remodel almost always requires navigating HOA work-hour restrictions, freight elevator reservations, and party-wall noise notices. Those logistics simply don’t exist for the single-family homes that dominate neighboring Sunny Isles Beach or Hallandale Beach. If you get a quote from a company that doesn’t ask what floor you’re on or when your building’s freight elevator runs, the number is a guess. We won’t pretend otherwise.
Our crew recently stripped a 1980s master bath in a condo off Country Club Drive after the building’s milestone inspection had already flagged common-area concrete spalling. We had to coordinate our rough-in work with the structural engineer’s repair schedule, hold the draw schedule until the condo board signed off on our waterproofing plan, and use only Miami-Dade NOA-approved fixtures. The permit approval took nearly six weeks before we could set the first tile. That’s the reality of remodeling a bathroom inside an Aventura high-rise, and we’d rather tell you the truth up front than let you find out after the demo dumpster is in the loading dock.
