We know Flagami homes. The single-story CBS block construction, the flat built-up roofs, the enclosed carports done without permits decades ago. Every bathroom we open here tells a similar story, and we’ve learned how to handle what we find without turning your budget upside down. More on that below.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Flagami’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Flagami, where homeowners have been burned by contractors who said one thing on the estimate and another at the door. Our crews have worked in every corner of this neighborhood, from the blocks east of Flagami Park to the homes tucked along NW 7th Street. We schedule and coordinate Flagami work from our South Florida metro office, but the people standing in your bathroom live in your county. They know the rock. They know the water table. They’ve pulled the permits.

Every Bathroom Remodeling job we take in Flagami follows the same path: a permit-compliance audit first, written allowances for what we can’t see inside the walls, and a written change order for any price adjustment before we touch it. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. We like it that way. When the inspector signs off, you know the work stands up. You can look up Tom’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything. We publish all of it.

Flagami customers get the same guarantees as everyone else we serve: licensed and insured work, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise written into every contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s not a slogan. It’s on the paper.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Flagami

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full bathroom remodel in Flagami means taking the room down to the studs and rebuilding it properly. For the older CBS homes around Flagami, that almost always means replacing cast-iron drain lines embedded in the slab, rerouting outdated wiring, and squaring up framing that shifted over sixty years. We handle the whole thing: demolition, rough-in, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, glass, and final inspection. You’ll get a written scope before we start and a written change order if anything changes. No surprises at the end.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Flagami homeowners frequently want the tub gone. Tubs in these mid-century homes are often original, deep, and impossible to step into safely. A tub-to-shower conversion in Flagami runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on what’s under the tub once we lift it. In homes near Flagami Park, we often find the slab wasn’t properly graded around the tub’s drain. We fix that correctly, then build the new shower pan with proper slope and waterproofing that meets Miami-Dade county requirements.

Walk-In Shower Installation

Walk-in showers are the most requested feature in Flagami bathroom remodels. We build them with real waterproofing, not green board and hope. For homes in the 33144 zip code, a walk-in shower installation typically costs $4,500 to $12,000, depending on tile choices, glass enclosures, and whether we have to relocate a drain. That’s a complete installation, not a liner dropped over old work. Every shower passes inspection before we call it done.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Even a smaller update, like replacing a vanity or retiling a shower surround, comes with Flagami-specific considerations. Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000. When we pull the old vanity out of a 1950s Flagami home, we frequently find the supply lines are original galvanized steel, rusted to the point of failure. We replace them while the wall is open. It’s cheaper to do it then than to fix a slab leak later. And the tile selections we recommend carry Miami-Dade NOA approval, so the inspector doesn’t flag your material choice at the end.

Trusted Brands We Service in Flagami

We stock and install names you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. For bathroom work, that means recognized tile and fixture lines we’ve used for years. We work with Quikrete products for shower pans and setting beds, Cambridge Pavers when a Flagami project extends into an outdoor shower or pool bath, and Techo-Bloc for specialty hardscape transitions. If you need a faucet, valve, or drain assembly we don’t keep on the truck, our local supply relationships in the Flagami area mean we’re not waiting a week for parts. We also maintain standing offers for every Flagami job: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Flagami Homes

• Unpermitted additions and enclosed carports. Flagami is dense with CBS homes where a previous owner closed in a carport or added a bathroom without permits. We start every remodel with a permit-compliance audit because we’ve seen too many jobs get stopped mid-demolition when the county discovers unpermitted work.
• Cast-iron and galvanized plumbing embedded in the slab. Homes built between the late 1940s and early 1970s often have original drain lines set directly in the concrete. Opening a bathroom wall in Flagami usually means finding these lines. We budget for PVC rough-in replacement in writing, before we cut.
• Oolitic limestone just below grade. The Miami Rock Ridge sits six to twelve inches under many Flagami slabs. Moving a toilet drain or shower drain often means jackhammer work, not shovel work. Unless you want a half-day trench that turns into three days of demo, that fact belongs in the quote.
• Failed waterproofing from previous remodels. We open shower surrounds and find green board, no vapor barrier, and tile over drywall. By then, the studs are often rotted. We rebuild with proper waterproofing per Miami-Dade NOA standards so it doesn’t rot again in five years.

Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Flagami, FL

How We Handle the Real Surprises Inside Flagami Walls

Here’s the single biggest reason a bathroom remodel quote moves in Flagami, and why our quotes are built differently. When we open a wall in a 1950s CBS home near Flagami Park, what we find is rarely what the homeowner expected. Outdated wiring that predates the last permitted work. Undersized framing behind the tile. Drain lines so far gone they disintegrate when touched. And the code upgrades a permit triggers once those walls are open.

So here’s how we work. We inspect first. Before we quote, we look at what’s visible and tell you what’s likely behind it. Then we write allowances into the contract for the things we can’t see until demolition starts. If we find the old cast-iron drain collapsed or a joist that never should have carried load, you already have money penciled for it. That’s the difference between a predictable remodel and a financial ambush.

On a 1950s Flagami home near the Flagami Park area, our crew opened the bathroom wall only to find original cast-iron drain lines embedded in the slab and wiring that predated the home’s last permit. We adjusted the scope of work, wrote allowances for new PVC rough-in and a load-bearing header, and got every change order approved in writing before cutting further. The inspection sign-off cleared the code upgrades without a single dispute.

Flagami’s CBS homes often have unpermitted bathroom additions or enclosed carports converted without permits. So any bathroom remodel here must start with a permit-compliance audit to reconcile legacy work before new construction can pass inspection. We don’t skip that step. It’s the thing that keeps a remodel from stalling at final inspection and keeps your investment from becoming a code violation with your name on it.

And the rock. Flagami sits on oolitic limestone six to twelve inches down. That’s not a fun fact, it’s a budget line. If your remodel involves moving a drain or setting plumbing in the slab, we price jackhammer time into the estimate. Contractors who don’t know Flagami sometimes treat it like digging in sand. You pay for their education. We already learned the lesson years ago.

Miami-Dade’s Notice of Acceptance standard applies to every material we install. That means waterproofing membranes, shower pans, tile assemblies, and fixtures must carry an NOA approval. If we specify a product without it, the county flags the inspection and we’re swapping materials at the last minute. We don’t. We spec NOA-approved products from the first quote, and we tell you why the material choice matters before you pick a tile.

Our Bathroom Remodeling team knows what’s coming in Flagami. We prepare for it, we price it, and we put it all in writing.
