AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miami Gardens
Bathroom remodeling in Miami Gardens typically runs $10,620 to $33,040 for a full gut-and-rebuild, and most projects take three to six weeks depending on what’s hiding behind the walls. If you’re reading this from a 1960s CBS ranch near Miami Carol City or a newer home off NW 183rd, you already know the drill here: permits pull slowly, the rainy season doesn’t care about your schedule, and the wrong valve can fail inspection the first time. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been working on homes across 33056 long enough to know where the surprises live. Call (877) 610-1318 when you’re ready to walk through your bathroom with a contractor who’ll write everything down.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Miami Gardens’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Miami Gardens, where people have been burned by outfits that run a call center in another state and sub the work to whoever picks up the phone. Our crews are Tom’s sons and their teams. They carry the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts and on their trucks, and they’ve spent enough time on flat, wet lots from Scott Lake to Lake Lucerne that they don’t get spooked by a high water table or an inspector who wants to see every Miami-Dade NOA number before sign-off.
We pull permits on every eligible bathroom job. Not “we can if you want.” We pull them, because we’ve fixed enough unpermitted work in these 1950s and ’60s homes to know what happens when the next owner asks for paperwork and there isn’t any. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every contract. So are every scope, every allowance, and every price change. Nothing moves without a written change order in your hand first.
And if you’re the type who likes proof over promises, Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Miami Gardens
Every bathroom we open in Miami Gardens tells us something about the house, the water table, and the last contractor who was in there. Here’s what we handle most often in this city.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Miami Gardens usually means gutting a 1960s-era bath down to the concrete block, re-plumbing it, waterproofing it properly, and building it back square. In these CBS ranch homes, we regularly find cast iron drain lines that have been rusting quietly for fifty years under a slab that sits just a few feet above the seasonal groundwater line. That’s not a surprise we want you to discover after tile goes up. A full remodel here runs $10,620 to $33,040, and the work always includes a written scope before a hammer swings.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Most of the walk-in shower work we do in Miami Gardens replaces failed curb showers where water has been soaking into the wall behind the tile for years. Miami’s humidity means a leaking shower doesn’t dry out on its own; it feeds mold behind the grout. We rebuild these with proper waterproofing membranes, whether it’s a prefab pan or a fully tiled custom pan. Walk-in shower installation runs $5,310 to $14,160.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the most popular conversion in the older Miami Gardens homes, where customers want to lose the tub that takes up half the room and costs a fortune to fill. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $4,130 to $11,800 and usually takes about a week once the permit clears. The catch in this city is making sure the drain line under the slab can be reworked without turning your bathroom into a digging project. We assess that before we commit to a price, not after.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
If you’re not gutting the whole room, we still handle the pieces: vanity installation runs $945 to $3,540, tile work, fixtures, recessed lighting, and the kind of finish details that make a dated bathroom feel less like a time capsule. We don’t install mystery-brand materials off a van; you’ll know what you’re getting and what it costs before it’s ordered.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Gardens
We install materials you can look up. On Miami Gardens bathroom jobs, that often means PGT or Simonton for any window or glass opening in the room. In a High Velocity Hurricane Zone like Miami-Dade, the glass enclosure in your shower isn’t in the direct wind path, but any exterior window in that bathroom has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA sticker or it fails inspection. We handle that compliance work as part of the remodel. It’s one less thing for you to chase.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Gardens Homes
We’ve opened enough bathrooms in 33056 to know what’s usually waiting back there. Here are the four most common problems we run into:
- Rusted cast iron drains under the slab. In 1950s and ’60s CBS homes across Miami Gardens, the original drain lines are often near failure. On a slab foundation with the water table just a few feet down, any crack starts wicking groundwater in and sewage out. We pressure-test before we set tile.
- Water behind old curb shower tile. Miami’s year-round humidity means a slow shower leak doesn’t reveal itself quickly. By the time the homeowner sees the stain on the other side of the wall, there’s been water in there for years. We rebuild showers with full waterproofing, not just grout and hope.
- Unpermitted work from a prior flip. Miami Gardens has a lot of houses that got quick cosmetic turns before sale. We routinely find shower valves, vanities, and even relocated drain lines that were never inspected. If your bathroom’s been flipped, ask us before you plan around it.
- Window and vent compliance issues. Any exterior opening in a Miami Gardens bathroom has to meet current HVHZ impact and wind-load standards. If the last remodel skipped that step, our permit process catches it. We’ll quote the correction in the initial scope, not as a surprise the week before sign-off.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Miami Gardens, FL
A full bathroom remodel in Miami Gardens runs $10,620 to $33,040. A small bathroom remodel with modest finishes runs $5,900 to $14,160. A walk-in shower install runs $5,310 to $14,160, and a tub-to-shower conversion runs $4,130 to $11,800. Vanity installation runs $945 to $3,540.
What moves the price is what’s behind the walls: the condition of the drain lines, whether the slab under the shower pan is solid, and whether you’ve got HVHZ-rated openings already in place or we need to bring them up to code. We write every allowance and every scope of work in the contract, and any change requires a written change order before the work proceeds. No surprises at the end, because the allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through it in person and in writing.

If we open the wall and find damage that wasn’t visible during the estimate, we stop work and bring you a written change order with the exact added cost before we proceed. You’ll know the number before a single nail moves. That’s the only way we work in Miami Gardens, and it’s in your contract.
Expect to pay between $10,620 and $33,040 for a full bathroom remodel in Miami Gardens. That’s comparable to most of northwest Miami-Dade, though Miami Gardens homes built in the ’50s and ’60s sometimes carry higher plumbing costs because of the original cast iron lines under the slab. The wind-load and NOA requirements apply anywhere in the county, so that doesn’t add a local premium; it’s just the cost of doing the job to code.
Yes. Permits are pulled and inspections are signed on every eligible job. In Miami Gardens, that means your contractor needs to show Miami-Dade NOA compliance on any exterior opening in the bathroom. We handle that paperwork as part of the job. If a contractor tells you a bathroom remodel here doesn’t need a permit, call someone else. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and ask us anything you want. The estimate costs you nothing, and Tom will stand behind every word of it.
