Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Golden Glades

A full bathroom remodel in Golden Glades typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000, with most jobs landing in the $12,000 to $19,000 range once you account for tile, fixtures, and the structural surprises common to 1950s and 60s CBS block homes. At Barrett & Sons Construction, we’ve spent 29 years working on exactly the kind of houses that fill Golden Glades, from the ranch-style blocks off NW 7th Avenue to the tighter lots near the Golden Glades Interchange.

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

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That means the person who shakes your hand and walks your bathroom is the same person accountable when the tile goes up. We don’t send strangers to your door. Our crew members are background-checked, uniformed, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts because they answer to it.

Golden Glades homeowners have told us the same story for decades: a national outfit quoted one price on the phone, then handed them a different bill at the door. That doesn’t happen here. Every scope, every allowance, every change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. And every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back. One call.

We know Golden Glades because our crews are here nearly every week. This is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, not North Miami or Opa-locka. Permits route through the county’s Permitting and Inspection Center, and plan reviewers enforce HVHZ standards that would stop a Broward County submittal cold. We’ve navigated that process hundreds of times. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, so you can look him up before you sign anything.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Golden Glades

Full Bathroom Remodeling

We gut and rebuild bathrooms from the studs out, the right way. Most Golden Glades homes were built before the 1994 Florida Building Code, which means we almost always find framing and fastening that fails current wind-load review. A full remodel gives us the chance to correct poor blocking, sister joists, and bring plumbing and electrical up to code before the pretty stuff goes in. Expect a written line-item scope before we start.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in showers are the single most requested upgrade we do in Golden Glades. The 1950s-era homes in ZIP 33162 often have original 5-foot tubs with low ceilings and no waterproofing to speak of. We install Schluter waterproofing systems and frameless glass enclosures, and we make sure the pan slopes and drain placement pass inspection. If your shower leaks, it’s not just cosmetic; it rots the framing behind it.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Converting a bathtub to a shower in Golden Glades runs $3,500 to $10,000, depending on whether we need to move the drain, rework the mixing valve, or rebuild the plumbing wall. Older Miami-Dade block homes often have slab-on-grade plumbing, so the existing tub drain location dictates a lot. We’ll tell you up front what can stay and what has to move, in writing, before you commit.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Vanity installation ranges from $800 to $3,000 for Golden Glades homes depending on cabinet width, countertop choice, and whether we find rotted subfloor beneath the old cabinet. We carry premium lines like Grohe for fixtures, and we can source custom vanities that fit the tighter wet-space dimensions common to mid-century Miami floor plans. No mystery brands off a van. Every material name goes in the contract so you know exactly what you’re buying.

Trusted Brands We Service in Golden Glades

We stock and install brands you can look up: Schluter for shower waterproofing, Sterling and Grohe for tubs and fixtures. When a Golden Glades homeowner needs a replacement valve or a drain assembly, we carry the common parts on our trucks instead of making you wait for a special order out of Broward. That matters when your only bathroom is down and the tub is torn out. If your remodel touches a wall adjacent to the exterior, ask us about Windows & Doors in Golden Glades, because a bathroom window that fails HVHZ product approval will hold up your final inspection.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Golden Glades Homes

• Soggy subfloor and rotted bottom plates. Slab-on-grade CBS homes leak at the tub flange and behind tile. Water sits, framing rots, and by the time you see the stain, the wood is gone. We cut it out and replace it before tiling.
• Undersized exhaust fans and surface mold. Golden Glades humidity doesn’t quit, even in the dry season. Original 50-plus-year-old fans move almost no air. We recommend a properly sized vent fan on every remodel and verify it exhausts outside, not into the attic.
• Original cast-iron drain lines. Homes built in the 50s and 60s have cast iron that’s rusted thin or collapsed. You don’t want to tile over a drain you’ll have to jackhammer through next year. We inspect with a camera before the new shower goes in.
• Missing hurricane straps on exterior bathroom walls. A bathroom on a gable end often has no roof-to-wall connection. When we open the wall, we add the clips and straps the HVHZ reviewer wants to see, so your remodel doesn’t stall at plan check.

One more thing we run into in this neighborhood: contractors new to Golden Glades underbid the permit work, then hit you with a change order halfway through when the county rejects their submittal. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and I’d rather he see honest work than a cover-up. We’ve also had customers call us after a wind event opened up a bathroom ceiling. If that happens, we can point you to our Roofing in Golden Glades crew before water does more damage inside.
