Bathroom Remodeling in Kendall - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Kendall

A full bathroom remodel in Kendall, FL typically runs $9,000-$28,000, with most mid-size projects landing between $12,000 and $18,000 depending on the age of the home and whether the job triggers HVHZ compliance upgrades. That’s the honest range, and we’ll put it in writing before we touch a single tile. Most Kendall homeowners we meet have never remodeled before, or worse, they got burned by a contractor who quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different invoice at the door. Our crews work throughout Kendall every week, including 33156, and a live person answers our phone around the clock at (877) 610-1318.

We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, founded in 1998 and owner-operated by Tom Barrett. Not a franchise. Not a dispatch center. Tom’s sons run the crews, and Tom’s the one who signs the contract. Whether you’re near Kendall Drive, along SW 88th Street, or tucked into a 1970s tract home off Lindgren Road, we show up with a written scope, a written price, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise on the job before we start.

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

Ask anyone in Kendall who’s remodeled recently and you’ll hear the same story about out-of-town contractors: a slick estimate, then surprise change orders, then a voicemail box when something leaks. We built our name doing the opposite. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. If it’s not on paper, it doesn’t happen. That’s how Tom has run this company since 1998.

We know Kendall’s housing stock because we’ve been inside it for years. A 1978 rancher off SW 107th Avenue isn’t the same job as a post-Andrew rebuild near the Falls. The plumbing rough-in depth, the slab condition, the way the original tub was set on limestone bedrock – these details change the job and the price. We walk the house before we quote it. No phone estimates, no guesswork.

Every permitted job in Kendall means we pull the permit and the inspector signs it. That’s not optional. Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules are the strictest residential codes in the country, and bathroom remodels that touch load-bearing walls or move plumbing get inspected. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.

Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything with anyone. When a Kendall homeowner calls (877) 610-1318, a live person answers. Not a call center in another state. Not a voicemail. Us.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Kendall

Full Bathroom Remodeling

Full bathroom remodels in Kendall typically run $9,000-$28,000. The biggest cost drivers are whether we’re gutting to the studs (we usually are, especially in pre-1992 homes), whether the subfloor survived decades of South Florida humidity, and whether we need to update the roof-to-wall water intrusion barrier to current code. We handle it all: demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, glass, fixtures. One crew, one contract, one price.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in shower installation in Kendall runs $4,500-$12,000. We see a lot of 1980s tub-shower combos where the pan has cracked or the grout has failed from years of hard water and humidity. We replace them with curbless or low-curb showers, Schluter waterproofing systems, and frameless glass enclosures. Every shower we build in Kendall is waterproofed to current standards, not to whatever code existed when the house was built.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

A tub-to-shower conversion in Kendall runs $3,500-$10,000 and is one of the most common jobs we do. Homeowners in their 50s and 60s want to get rid of the step-over tub in the guest bath and put in a walk-in shower with a bench and handheld sprayer. We demo the old cast iron tub, inspect the subfloor (limestone’s uneven surface means original tubs often sat on mortar beds that can hide rot), then rebuild with the right slope and a properly tied drain.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Bathroom vanity installation in Kendall runs $800-$3,000, and tile work typically lands in the $8-$18 per square foot range for labor plus materials. We stock and install brands you can look up, and we coordinate with local supply houses in Kendall and Pinecrest so you’re not waiting three weeks for a backordered faucet. If your 1970s bathroom still has the original cultured marble vanity top, we’ll replace it with something that won’t stain under Kendall’s mineral-heavy water.

Our full Bathroom Remodeling team also handles small bathroom remodels, frameless glass enclosures, and bathtub replacement. If you’re not sure what you need, call us and we’ll walk you through it in plain English.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall

We carry materials from brands you can hold us accountable to. If your remodel calls for new floor tile or a shower pan, we’ll spec Quikrete mortar and setting products that stand up to Kendall’s humidity and hard water. For curb details and thresholds, we often use Oldcastle concrete products engineered for South Florida slab-on-grade homes. No mystery brands off a van with a phone number you can’t trace. We also handle a lot of exterior work for Kendall homeowners, and our Windows & Doors in Kendall crew frequently replaces old bathroom windows with impact-rated units during remodels – which matters more in Kendall than almost anywhere else in the state, because you’re in the HVHZ and a standard Florida Product Approval isn’t enough. Miami-Dade requires an NOA number on every unit. We verify it before we order.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Kendall Homes

Here’s what actually shows up when we open up walls and floors in Kendall, and why each one matters for your remodel:

• HVHZ non-compliance in pre-Andrew homes. Kendall sits entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. If your 1980s bathroom has original construction around plumbing penetrations in an exterior wall, the inspector may require upgrades to current water-intrusion and anchoring standards before we can close the permit. We flag this before we quote, not after.
• Rotted subfloor under old tubs. It’s common in homes built before the 2000s, especially where original cast iron tubs sat on mortar beds over limestone slab. Decades of humidity and minor leaks rot the plywood silently. We find it during demolition, and you’ll see it on the change order with a photo. In writing.
• Moisture damage behind original tile. Kendall’s humidity is relentless. Grout cracks let water sit against drywall for years. When we demo a 1970s or 1980s bathroom, we almost always find mold or soft paper on the backer board. We replace it with proper waterproofing membrane and cement board, not green drywall.
• Galvanized supply lines that need replacing. Many homes in the 33156 ZIP still have original galvanized steel water lines. They restrict flow, they corrode from the inside, and they’ll fail eventually. If we’re opening the wall anyway, replacing them with PEX is usually a small add that prevents a future ceiling leak. We’ll show you the condition on the walkthrough.
