AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Goulds
A full bathroom remodel in Goulds typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller refreshes landing closer to $5,000 to $12,000. Most of our Goulds jobs take two to four weeks once materials arrive, and the scope, allowances, and change orders are all in writing before we pull permits. If you live near SW 224th Street or over by the Goulds Canal, call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will come out, take measurements, and give you a price that won’t wander by the time the tile goes up.
Goulds is not a generic suburb. The homes here sit on flat Miami limestone with a water table that can rise within a foot of the slab during rainy season, and more than a few were rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew under Miami-Dade’s stricter post-1993 code. We plan bathroom work accordingly. That means checking what’s behind the walls before quoting, accounting for humidity and ventilation in a house built in 1962, and making sure the shower pan and waterproofing will hold up in a zone where wind-driven rain and high moisture are facts of life. We are an owner-operated Bathroom Remodeling company, and we answer our own phone.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Goulds’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published, and if something isn’t right after we leave, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back. That matters in Goulds, where plenty of homeowners have been burned by outfits that quote over the phone and hand over a different number after the demo is done.
We work in Goulds regularly, not occasionally. Crews are scheduled from our Miami-Dade office and drive straight down US-1 or the Turnpike to reach homes in the 33190 ZIP. When we quote a bathroom near Eureka Drive or in the pockets around Cutler Ridge, we already know the access, the typical slab conditions, and the questions the building department is going to ask. We don’t send a rotating cast of strangers. Tom’s sons run the crews, and every crew member is background-checked and uniformed.
A big part of why Goulds homeowners call us back is what doesn’t happen. No surprise invoice at the end. No “the inspector said we need extra work” phone call that doubles the cost. Every allowance and every change order is written before work proceeds, and permits are pulled on every eligible job. We also publish four standing offers: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Goulds
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in Goulds usually means gutting a 1970s CBS bathroom down to the block, checking for moisture intrusion, reworking the plumbing rough-in, and rebuilding to current Miami-Dade code. We handle the whole job: framing, waterproofing, electrical, tile, glass, and fixtures. You’ll see the scope in writing before the first swing of the hammer, including what we find once the walls are open and what it costs to fix it.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade in Goulds, especially in post-Andrew rebuilds where the original tub surrounds were installed in a hurry. We build curbless showers, install Schluter waterproofing systems, and use Grohe or Sterling fixtures when a customer wants a specific name they can look up. Proper waterproofing matters extra here: a shower in a slab home with a high water table can’t hide a slow leak for long.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
If you’re aging in place or tired of stepping over a 14-inch tub wall, a tub-to-shower conversion in Goulds runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on the valve work, tile, and whether we need to move the drain. We pull the old tub, reframe the opening, waterproof the new pan, and install a low-threshold or barrier-free entry. This is one of the most common jobs we do in older CBS homes where the hallway bath still has its original cast-iron tub.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
When the bones of the bathroom are good but the vanity is swollen from humidity and the tile is two decades past its prime, we replace what’s tired and leave the rest alone. Vanity installation in Goulds typically runs $800 to $3,000, tile work depends on footage and material, and we install brands like Grohe and Sterling that a homeowner can verify by name. We quote the labor and the materials separately so you know what each line item costs.

Trusted Brands We Service in Goulds
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off the back of a van. In Goulds bathrooms we regularly work with Schluter waterproofing, Grohe fixtures, and Sterling tubs and shower bases. If a customer wants something else, we’ll price it and put it in writing. Because we’re in Goulds often, we can pick up replacement parts and common materials without a three-week wait at a supply house across the county.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Goulds Homes
- Moisture behind walls in pre-1993 CBS homes. Many Goulds homes built before Andrew never had proper waterproofing or ventilation. We find swollen drywall, rusted studs, and mold behind tile that looked fine from the front.
- High water table affecting slab plumbing. In the rainy season, the water table in southern Miami-Dade can sit 12 to 18 inches below grade. Bathroom drains and toilet flanges in slab homes here shift more than in higher-elevation counties, which leads to recurring clogs and wax ring failures.
- No Miami-Dade NOA on replacement products. Out-of-county contractors sometimes spec windows, doors, or vent fans with a state product approval but no Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. The building department rejects it, and the homeowner waits weeks for a resubmission. We check NOA compliance before we order.
- Hurricane Andrew-era rushed rebuilds. Some post-1992 rebuilds used cheap tubs, thin tile, and minimal waterproofing to get families back in fast. Thirty years later, those shortcuts are failing around the tub flange and the shower pan.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Goulds
How fast can you get to a bathroom remodel in Goulds?
For estimates, we’re usually inside a Goulds home within a few days of the call, often sooner if the schedule lines up. The remodel itself depends on materials and permitting, not on our drive time. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer on both timelines.
Do you cover all of the 33190 ZIP code?
Yes. We work throughout Goulds, including the areas along SW 112th Avenue, Eureka Drive, and the residential pockets near the Goulds Canal and the Cutler Ridge border. No trip charge applies inside the county.
Do you handle emergency bathroom work in Goulds?
We don’t run a same-day remodel live, and we won’t claim to. What we do handle quickly is urgent bathroom plumbing or water damage affecting the remodel, and we’ll quote the repair scope in writing before starting. A live person answers our phone 24/7 at (877) 610-1318.
Is bathroom remodeling in Goulds more expensive than in Cutler Bay or East Perrine?
No. Our pricing follows the same written ranges across southern Miami-Dade: $9,000 to $28,000 for a full bathroom. What changes the final number is the house, not the street it’s on. Goulds homes built before 1993 sometimes need additional waterproofing or fastening work, and that shows up as a specific line item on the quote, not a vague upcharge.
What kind of warranty do you give on a Goulds bathroom remodel?
Every job we finish carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. That’s in addition to any manufacturer warranty on the fixtures and materials we install, like Grohe or Sterling.
