AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Miami Shores
A full bathroom remodel in Miami Shores typically runs between $10,620 and $33,040, with smaller baths landing closer to $5,900 to $14,160. Most projects take two to five weeks depending on whether you’re replacing fixtures or gutting to the studs. If you live in the 33153 ZIP and you’re tired of a bathroom that hasn’t changed since the Eisenhower administration, call Barrett & Sons at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
We’ve worked on enough of these 1930s and 1950s concrete block homes to know what’s behind the walls before we open them. That matters in Miami Shores more than most places, because this village plays by its own rulebook. More on that below.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Miami Shores’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. His sons run the crews. When you hire us for a Bathroom Remodeling job in Miami Shores, the person who shakes your hand at the estimate is the same person who’ll be standing in your bathroom two days later with a tape measure and a level.
Here’s what that actually means in this village. Miami Shores has its own Building & Zoning Department, completely separate from Miami-Dade County. Every permit, every inspection, every approval runs through Village Hall on 10050 NE 2nd Avenue. A contractor who mostly works in Miami proper can easily pull a county permit by habit and then stall your whole project when the village flags it. We don’t make that mistake. We pull village permits for every eligible job, and we show up for inspections. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I like him.
We also know that the village enforces its own architectural review for any exterior alteration visible from the street. If your bathroom remodel touches a window opening, a vent, or an exterior wall, that review comes into play. Skip it and the village can order you to restore the original finish at your own expense. That’s a surprise no one needs after writing a five-figure check.
Since 1998, every scope in writing, every allowance in writing, every change order in writing. Ask anyone on your street, or look up Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
As part of our Miami Shores coverage, we back every job with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Miami Shores
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We gut the room, reroute plumbing where needed, and rebuild it to handle Miami-Dade’s humidity without growing mold behind the walls. A typical full remodel in Miami Shores runs $10,620 to $33,040. The higher end usually means moving a wall, adding a soaker tub, or upgrading to a curbless shower with a trench drain. Many of these CBS homes still have the original cast-iron drain lines from the 1940s, and on a gut remodel we inspect and replace anything that’s lived past its lifespan.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Miami Shores runs $5,310 to $14,160. Low curb or curbless entries are popular here for a reason: the average homeowner in this village is in their late 50s or 60s, and stepping over a 5-inch tub wall every morning stops being charming. We frame the pan, slope the floor, waterproof to code, and install whatever glass you choose.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion runs $4,130 to $11,800 in Miami Shores, and it’s the single most common project we do in this village. You keep the footprint, lose the tub you stopped using a decade ago, and gain a shower you can use without a step stool. It’s fast, usually under two weeks, and with proper waterproofing it adds more usable daily function than most full remodels.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation runs $945 to $3,540 depending on size, material, and whether we’re dealing with the original 1950s wall-hung unit that’s now holding onto the wall by hope. Tile work is priced by square foot and material; we’ll walk you through porcelain, ceramic, and the kind of slip-resistant ratings that matter in a house with high humidity and occasional wet floors. Fixtures come from brands you can look up, not whatever was left in the van from the last job.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Shores
On bathroom projects in Miami Shores, we install and stand behind materials from PGT, Simonton, and Ply Gem when we touch window or ventilation openings that need impact-rated replacement. These aren’t the only brands we carry, but they’re among the ones we trust in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. If a skylight or a bathroom window is part of your remodel, we’ll make sure it carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, because it’s legally required here and because your bathroom shouldn’t become a pool during a storm.
We keep common failure parts and sealants on hand for the CBS and terrazzo floors native to this housing stock. That means fewer multi-day waits when we find something unexpected behind the tile. And if your remodel turns out to be part of a bigger envelope problem, we can coordinate with our Roofing in Miami Shores team or our Windows & Doors in Miami Shores crew without you having to chase down another contractor.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Miami Shores Homes
- Surprise stucco delamination behind the shower wall. Salt air from Biscayne Bay and decades of humidity work their way behind the tile on exterior walls. We open the wall, find the stucco failing, and it’s a repair that has to happen before any waterproofing goes back. A county-only permit can miss this; village inspection almost never does.
- Original terrazzo floors you don’t want to lose. A lot of Miami Shores homes have terrazzo that can’t be matched if it’s broken. We protect it during demo, build shower pans without sacrificing it where possible, and tell you honestly if it can be saved or if it needs professional restoration.
- Aging electrical panels that can’t handle a modern bathroom fan and heated floor. Many of these homes still run on panels from the 1950s and 1960s. Adding a properly vented exhaust fan, GFCI protection, and a heated floor sometimes means upgrading the panel first. We’ll tell you before we start, in writing.
- Village architectural review on any exterior vent or window. If your remodel changes the exterior look at all, Miami Shores Village’s design guidelines apply. Unfamiliar contractors skip this review and the owner ends up holding the bill to restore original finishes. We file the review early so it never stalls your project.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Miami Shores
We can usually start within two to four weeks, depending on permit timing at Village Hall and current crew schedules. That’s faster than most of our competitors because we already know the village’s permitting and architectural review process inside and out. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a real start date, not a vague ballpark.
Yes. We serve the full 33153 ZIP and every neighborhood inside the village limits, from the areas near Barry University and the Miami Shores Country Club to the streets along NE 2nd Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard. Tom lives about twenty minutes away, so if something’s wrong, he wants to know about it.
You’re dealing with a village, not the county. Miami Shores has its own Building & Zoning Department, its own permit system, and its own architectural review for anything visible from the street. A contractor who pulls a county permit by habit can get your whole project stalled or reversed. We pull the correct village permits every time.
Only if the scope changes, and only on paper. If we find hidden damage behind a wall or a drain line that’s beyond saving, we’ll stop and explain it in person, then give you a written change order with the exact cost before any work continues. That’s been our rule since Tom founded the company in 1998.
Every Barrett & Sons job includes our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call to (877) 610-1318. That promise is written on the contract, not buried in fine print, and it applies to every bathroom remodel we do in Miami Shores.
