AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Country Walk
A full bathroom remodel in Country Walk typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. Most projects take two to five weeks depending on scope, and the single biggest variable here isn’t tile choice or vanity style: it’s whether your contractor knows Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone codes well enough to keep the job moving. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what actually applies to your home.
We’ve worked in the 33196 zip code long enough to know what inspectors look for on every post-Andrew rebuild. That matters more in Country Walk than almost anywhere else in South Florida. These homes were rebuilt under the strictest wind-load standards in the country, and a bathroom remodel that cuts the wrong corner can trigger a failed inspection, a stop-work order, or an insurance adjuster asking questions you don’t want to answer.
Key Takeaways
- Country Walk bathroom remodels run $9,000 to $28,000 for full projects; walk-in showers start around $4,500.
- Every home here was rebuilt under post-Andrew HVHZ code, so waterproofing membranes, exhaust fans, and window openings must carry Miami-Dade NOA product approvals.
- A live person answers our phone 24/7, and every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds.
- We back every job with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Country Walk’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, the same stretch of years when Country Walk was rebuilding itself from the slab up. He’s been pulling Miami-Dade permits and sitting through HVHZ inspections since the code was brand new, and his sons run the crews now. That’s not a franchise story. When you call (877) 610-1318, you’re talking to someone who knows the difference between a NOA-listed waterproofing membrane and a big-box kit that’ll fail inspection at the rough-in stage.
Homeowners in Country Walk call us because they’ve already been through the wringer with a contractor who quoted one number on the phone and showed up with another. We do scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. Every permit gets pulled, every inspection gets signed, and Tom’s name, address, and license number are published where you can verify them before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street or look the license up yourself.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed on every visit. They carry the Barrett & Sons name because they’re accountable to it. And when something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s written on every contract, not buried in fine print.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Country Walk
We handle the full scope of bathroom work in Country Walk, from a small vanity swap to a complete gut-and-rebuild. Three services stand out for this neighborhood, and the reasoning is specific to the housing stock here. Our Bathroom Remodeling team starts every project with a compliance conversation, not a design pitch.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in Country Walk means working inside a CBS concrete-block shell that was built to resist 150 mph winds. Taking a bathroom down to the studs here isn’t a cosmetic exercise; it’s a structural one. We tie new waterproofing systems into the existing CBU walls without disturbing hurricane straps or roof-to-wall connections. Every full remodel includes a written change-order trail and permits pulled before the first hammer swing.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most-requested upgrade in Country Walk, and they’re also where we see the most inspection failures from other contractors. The waterproofing membrane has to be NOA-listed for Miami-Dade’s HVHZ. We install Schluter Kerdi systems that carry the approval, and we photograph the membrane before the tile goes up so you have documentation if an insurance adjuster ever asks. Typical walk-in shower installs run $4,500 to $12,000 here.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions in Country Walk usually make sense for the same reason they do everywhere: easier access, less water sitting in an old cast-iron basin. But the plumbing side here gets tricky fast. The water table sits 12 to 18 inches below grade in parts of Country Walk, so relocating a drain line needs care. A plumber who digs too deep without dewatering hits groundwater and undermines the slab. That’s a structural repair before any tile goes down. We handle it correctly the first time, and conversions start around $3,500.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Country Walk runs $800 to $3,000 depending on size and whether plumbing moves. Tile work ranges widely based on material, but most bathroom tile packages here land between $2,000 and $8,000. We stock Sterling fixtures and Grohe valves locally for Country Walk customers, which means faster turnaround when a spec changes mid-project. And every fixture change gets written into the scope before it’s ordered.

Trusted Brands We Service in Country Walk
We don’t install mystery brands off the back of a van. On Country Walk bathroom jobs we regularly work with Schluter for NOA-listed waterproofing membranes, Sterling for tubs and shower bases, and Grohe for valves and trim. These are products you can look up, with Miami-Dade product approvals our inspectors already know. If something fails or arrives damaged, we’re not waiting on a shipment from a distributor three states away. We stock the parts Country Walk homes actually need, which keeps your project from stalling over a valve body.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Country Walk Homes
- Non-NOA waterproofing kits failing inspection. Big-box shower waterproofing kits often pass code everywhere else in Florida but aren’t listed for Miami-Dade’s HVHZ. We see stop-work orders on these regularly. The fix is a full tear-out and re-install with a compliant membrane like Schluter Kerdi.
- Cutting exterior walls without impact-rated provisions. Adding an exhaust fan or a window in a bathroom exterior wall changes the original HVHZ opening protection. Do it without impact-rated glazing or shutter provisions and the final structural inspection fails. We check this before we cut.
- Shower pan failures in 1993-2000 homes. The original pans installed during the post-Andrew rebuild are now 25 to 30 years old. We recently remodeled a bathroom in a Country Walk home built in 1996 where the original shower pan had failed. Our crew uncovered subfloor rot and had to tie the new waterproofing into the existing CBU walls without disturbing the hurricane straps. We used a Kerdi membrane listed in Miami-Dade’s NOA, passed the rough-in inspection on the first visit, and the homeowner’s insurance adjuster later confirmed the documented compliance would not raise their windstorm premium.
- Relocating drains without accounting for the water table. In low-lying parts of Country Walk, groundwater sits just over a foot below the slab. Dig too deep and the hole fills, the bearing soil washes out, and you’re looking at a structural repair before any tile goes down. We dewater and shore these excavations properly.

What changes the number? Moving plumbing, the age of your slab, whether an exterior wall gets touched, and the finish level you pick. A shower valve is not a shower system. A floating vanity needs blocking in CBS walls, which takes longer than hanging one on drywall. We give you a written line-item quote before work starts, and every change after that arrives as a written change order. No surprise invoices. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact number. Estimates are free.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Country Walk
No, not for the vanity itself. A vanity swap that doesn’t move plumbing or touch exterior walls typically doesn’t require a NOA product approval. The moment you relocate a drain, add an electrical circuit, or cut into an exterior wall, you’re into permit territory and the NOA requirements come with it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your vanity job needs a permit at all.
Because the kit wasn’t on Miami-Dade’s NOA product approval list. That’s the list that matters in Country Walk. Products that pass code everywhere else in Florida fail HVHZ inspection here every week. The contractor has to tear out the non-compliant membrane, buy a listed one like Schluter Kerdi, and re-install. Your neighbor lost weeks and paid for the work twice. We only use NOA-listed membranes, and we document them before the tile goes up.
Maybe, but you need impact-rated glazing or a shutter provision, and it has to match what your wind mitigation credits were based on. A non-rated skylight changes the opening protection on your roof assembly, and that can void the windstorm credits you locked in after Andrew. An insurance adjuster who audits the remodel will catch it. We can spec an impact-rated unit and pull the permit properly. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll review what’s on your current wind mitigation form before you buy anything.
Yes, in most cases, but it has to be done with dewatering and shoring, not a pickaxe and hope. Excavating below the water table without controlling the groundwater washes out the bearing soil under the slab and can crack the foundation. We do this work properly, and we won’t let a sub trade wing it. Get a written quote first. Estimates in Country Walk are free.
Document everything, and use NOA-listed products for any change that touches the building envelope. If we cut an exterior wall for a fan or window, the opening gets impact-rated glazing or a shutter provision that preserves your credits. Then we give you a compliance packet: photos, product approval numbers, inspection sign-offs. An insurance adjuster who sees that documentation has nothing to flag. A cheap contractor who skips it leaves you holding a premium increase two years later.
