Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miami
A full bathroom remodel in Miami typically runs $10,620 to $33,040, and most projects we handle here take two to four weeks once materials arrive and permits clear. The bigger variable in this city is rarely the labor; it is the moisture, the concrete block walls, and the Miami-Dade product approval paperwork that out-of-town contractors underestimate. We are Bathroom Remodeling specialists who have worked inside enough CBS homes in Flagami, West Little River, and Brownsville to know where the rot hides before we open the first wall. If you are weighing a refresh or a full gut, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 for a free, written estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Miami’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in a city where a lot of remodeling firms run on subcontractor roulette: a different crew, a different name on the van, and a project manager you will never meet. Our crew members wear the Barrett & Sons name on their uniforms and pass background checks before they ever step into a Miami home. When you call about a bathroom in Allapattah or along Coral Way, you get a live person, not an out-of-state call center.
Miami customers see the difference in the paperwork. Every scope, allowance, and price change arrives as a written change order before any work moves forward. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job, because in Miami-Dade County the permit inspector is your best friend, not your enemy. He is the one who makes sure the waterproofing behind your shower tile actually exists. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number; look them up before you sign anything. Then ask anyone on your street.
We also back every completed job with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. No fine print, no runaround.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Miami
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-rebuild in a Miami CBS home means cutting into concrete block with the right blades and anchoring new framing to masonry, not wood studs. We handle the waterproofing, the plumbing rough-in, the LVL headers, the tile work, and the finish carpentry under one roof. Homes in the 33125 corridor from the 1950s and 1960s often hide cast-iron drain lines that have been quietly failing for decades; we find them before the new tile goes up, not after.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade we see in Miami, and for good reason. A curbless, low-threshold shower works with aging knees and hips, and it opens up a small bathroom faster than any other change. We build them with full waterproofing systems behind the tile, not just on top of it, because Miami’s humidity will find every gap. In Gladeview and West Little River, where slab-on-grade floors rule, we can often recess the shower pan without major structural work.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Swapping a cast-iron tub for a walk-in shower in Miami usually runs $4,130 to $11,800, depending on the valve work and whether we are moving the drain. Older Miami bathrooms often have the tub drain in a spot that works fine for a tub and fights a shower; we move it, re-vent it, and pass inspection. The payoff is a shower you can actually stand in without climbing over a 14-inch tub wall.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities from $945 to $3,540, including the plumbing hookups and the mirror work most Miami homeowners forget to budget for. For tile, we favor porcelain over natural stone in humid bathrooms; it is more forgiving with Miami’s temperature swings and it does not drink up mineral water from the city’s hard supply the way some marbles do. We also hang and seal frameless glass shower enclosures that hold up to daily use without leaking at the curb.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We carry and install Simonton and PGT products where windows and doors touch the bathroom, and we stock common replacement parts locally so a Miami job is not waiting on a truck from Jacksonville. PGT’s impact-rated lines matter here even for bathroom windows, because HVHZ code does not care which room the opening is in. If you already have Simonton or PGT products in the house, we can match new work to the existing styles so the exterior does not look patched together.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Mold behind old tile on concrete block walls. Miami’s near-100% summer humidity pushes moisture through grout lines and into the wall cavity. By the time you see staining, the real problem is usually behind the surface. We open the wall, remediate, and rebuild with proper waterproofing.
- Cast-iron drain lines that have finally given up. Homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s across Miami, including much of Flagami and Brownsville, are full of cast-iron DWV pipe that corrodes from the inside out. A bathroom remodel is the only time most of it ever gets replaced.
- Improper previous waterproofing on shower pans. We replace a lot of leaking showers where the last contractor skipped the flood test or used mastic instead of thinset. In a slab-on-grade Miami home, that leak runs into the limestone, not a crawlspace, so it hides for years while it eats the slab.
- Undersized exhaust fans in windowless bathrooms. Many older Miami condos and apartments vent into the ceiling cavity, not outside. That is a code failure and a mold factory. We install or upgrade to properly ducted fans as part of a remodel.

Miami’s Water Table and Why It Changes How We Build
There is a reason you will not find a basement anywhere in Miami. The city sits on porous Miami Limestone, and in western ZIP codes around 33116 the water table can be less than two feet below grade. That changes how we approach any bathroom that touches a slab, which is most of them here. We do not chase plumbing leaks by tunneling under the slab without understanding what the water table is doing that season; we reroute when we can and excavate carefully when we cannot. Contractors who come from wood-frame, crawlspace markets routinely flood an excavation or crack a slab because they did not respect the aquifer. We live with it every day.
Related work in a Miami home often connects back to the building envelope, too. If your remodel reveals water damage that traces to a failed roof or a window that leaks around its frame, we handle that in-house. Many Miami homeowners end up pairing a bathroom update with Roofing in Miami work or Windows & Doors in Miami replacement when they see how the moisture is getting in. One crew, one contract, and a single set of permits, which saves time and money.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Miami
A full bathroom remodel in Miami typically costs $10,620 to $33,040, with small bathrooms running $5,900 to $14,160. The single biggest variable is what is hiding behind the walls of an older CBS home: cast-iron drains, failed waterproofing, or block walls that need furring. We give free, written estimates with allowances on paper, so you know the number before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote.
We serve every neighborhood in Miami, including the 33110, 33111, 33112, and 33116 ZIP codes, with current projects from Allapattah east to the bay and from Brownsville south to Flagami. If you are inside city limits, we will come to you. Our Miami office coordinates scheduling, and crews live in the communities they serve.
Most full bathroom remodels in Miami take two to four weeks once materials are on site and the permit is approved. Miami-Dade’s HVHZ code adds a layer of product documentation that can slow a project if your contractor has not worked here before, but we pull those permits routinely and order Miami-Dade-approved materials from local suppliers. We give you a written timeline with the contract, and every change to that timeline comes as a written change order.
Any price change on a Barrett & Sons job arrives as a written change order before the work moves forward. We do not hand you a surprise invoice at the end. If we open a wall and find failed cast-iron plumbing, we stop, show you what we found, and put the additional scope and cost on paper for your sign-off. You never pay for a change you did not approve in writing.
Yes, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written into every bathroom remodeling contract we sign in Miami, and it applies the same way whether you live in Allapattah or West Little River. If something is not done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to fix it. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you have from another Miami contractor, so you can compare scope and price honestly. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.
