Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Kendall West
A full bathroom remodel in Kendall West typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000, with most projects finishing in two to four weeks once permits clear. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been remodeling homes across western Miami-Dade since 1998 - the kind of company where Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck and his sons run the crews. If you live near Kendall Drive or SW 157th Avenue, call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers, not a call center. We know these CBS block homes, the water table underneath them, and what Miami-Dade inspectors will flag before we even open a wall.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Kendall West’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Kendall West homeowners keep our number for the same reason they keep their neighbor’s: we show up on time and we don’t surprise anyone with a bill. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons are on job sites in the 33193 ZIP code most days of the week. That’s not a franchise model - it’s a family that lives close enough to run into you at the Publix on SW 157th Avenue. Our Bathroom Remodeling team has walked through hundreds of Kendall West bathrooms built between 1985 and 2000, which means we already know what’s behind the tile before we demo it.
Every Kendall West job starts with a written scope and a written allowance sheet. If anything changes, you get a change order in writing before work moves forward. We pull permits on every eligible remodel and we like when the inspector shows up - the permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why he’s welcome on any Barrett & Sons job. And if something isn’t right when we’re done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back to make it right. No fine print, no phone tag, no “we’ll get to it next month.”
We publish Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything - we’d rather you did. That’s the kind of accountability Kendall West homeowners tell us they haven’t gotten from the big national outfits that quote one price on the phone and show up with another.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Kendall West
Here’s what we handle most often in Kendall West, and what each one means for your home specifically. Every project below gets a written quote with line items, not a lump sum you can’t audit.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in Kendall West means working with CBS block walls and slab-on-grade floors - no basements here, so every drain line runs through the slab. We scope the job room by room, pulling permits and scheduling inspections so your project closes clean. Most full remodels in the 33193 area land between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on square footage and fixtures.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Kendall West’s humidity means a poorly waterproofed shower pan is a mold problem waiting to happen, not a cosmetic one. We install Schluter waterproofing systems under tile and use Miami-Dade NOA-approved materials, which matters in this western corridor - inspectors here reject products with only statewide Florida approval all the time. Walk-in shower installations in Kendall West typically run $4,500 to $12,000.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Homes built from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s in Kendall West often came with a fiberglass tub-shower combo that’s now cracked, stained, or just dated. Converting that tub to a walk-in shower runs $3,500 to $10,000 in this market, and it’s one of the highest-value moves we see for aging-in-place homeowners in the area. We’ll handle the drain relocation, waterproofing, and glass enclosure in one written scope.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bathroom doesn’t need a full gut - it needs a new vanity, fresh tile, and fixtures that don’t leak. Vanity installation alone in Kendall West runs $800 to $3,000. We carry Grohe and Sterling lines, plus tile that holds up in South Florida’s humidity without trapping moisture behind the wall. Small bathroom remodels in Kendall West land between $5,000 and $12,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall West
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. In Kendall West bathrooms, that means Schluter waterproofing under every shower tile, Grohe fixtures for durability in high-humidity rooms, and Sterling tubs and surrounds when you want proven quality without the designer markup. Because we’re local, we can grab parts from suppliers along Kendall Drive quickly when a project needs a last-minute swap. You’ll never hear us say “we’ll order it from somewhere out of state and hope it fits.” If we’re also replacing an exterior door while we’re in your Kendall West home, take a look at our Windows & Doors in Kendall West work - Andersen and Marvin are on that truck too.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Kendall West Homes
These are the patterns we’ve learned from two and a half decades of opening walls in this specific corner of Miami-Dade:
- Slab drain issues from high water table. Kendall West sits on oolitic limestone with a persistently high water table. Cast iron drain lines under slabs from the 1980s and 1990s corrode faster here than out-of-county contractors expect. We scope for this before quoting, not halfway through demo.
- Pre-Andrew construction shortcuts. Homes built before August 1992 predate the stricter Miami-Dade post-Andrew code. Opening a bathroom wall in an older Kendall West home often reveals framing or waterproofing that needs remediation before new work can pass inspection.
- Humidity-fed mold behind old shower surrounds. That cracked grout isn’t cosmetic. In South Florida humidity, water gets behind tile and festers. We’ve pulled shower surrounds in Kendall West and found framing you could poke a screwdriver through. Better to know now than after the tile goes up.
- NOA product rejections at inspection. Miami-Dade’s Notice of Acceptance system is the strictest in the country. We’ve seen out-of-county contractors fail final inspections in this western corridor because the waterproofing membrane or window they installed had statewide Florida approval but no Miami-Dade NOA. That’s a six-week delay and a redo, at your expense. We don’t let it happen.

Miami-Dade inspectors in this corridor are strict about NOA product approvals, and we won’t install anything that can’t pass. The permit inspector works for you, not for me - which is exactly why we want him on the job. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, that’s your cue to call someone else.
