Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Norland
Bathroom remodeling in Norland typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the single biggest factor is what’s hiding inside your walls once we open them. Most Norland homes went up between the late 1950s and early 1980s, and we regularly find failed waterproofing, rotted window frames, and corroded copper behind original tile. That’s not a reason to avoid the project - it’s the reason to work with a crew that knows what Miami-Dade County inspectors will require before drywall goes back up. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the job with you before you commit to anything.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Norland’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve been pulling permits in unincorporated Miami-Dade since 1998, and that matters in Norland because every bathroom remodel here goes through the county’s building department under High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable - look us up before you sign anything. Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed, and they’re the same faces you’ll see at the hardware store on Saturday. We live close enough to Norland that when a customer on NW 7th Avenue calls about a question, we can swing by the same day.
The reviews from Norland customers consistently mention two things: we show up when we say we will, and every price change arrives in writing before work proceeds. The 90-Day Done Right Promise sits on every contract - if something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. No voicemail maze, no out-of-state call center. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Norland
Full Bathroom Remodeling
Full bathroom remodeling in Norland means gutting to the studs in most of these older CBS homes, replacing rotted framing, installing new waterproofing, and rebuilding with code-compliant rough-ins before tile goes down. The Miami-Dade inspector sees the rough-in before we close anything. That’s how permits are supposed to work, and it’s why we pull them on every eligible job.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Norland runs $4,500 to $12,000, with the range driven by whether you’re converting a tub footprint or expanding into an existing closet. On a 1960s-era concrete block home, we frame the shower with pressure-treated lumber, hang cement board, redguard the seams, then tile over a proper sloped pan. We don’t skip the pan, because the water table in northern Miami-Dade sits only a few feet below the slab, and water finds its way down fast.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Norland is one of our most requested jobs, especially in homes where the original cast iron tub has a failing enamel finish. The catch in this unincorporated area: if the conversion touches an exterior wall or the old jalousie window, HVHZ review kicks in, and that single-pane window doesn’t pass. We handle it by writing the impact-rated replacement into the scope before we start, so you never get a stop-work order for a window you didn’t know you needed.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
For smaller jobs like a vanity installation ($800-$3,000 in Norland) or a tile refresh, we still pull the permit when the work touches plumbing or waterproofing. The subfloor in these older homes is often spongy under the old tile from years of humid air and failed mastic. We’ll check it before we set anything, and we’ll tell you the truth about what we find.

Trusted Brands We Service in Norland
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. In Norland bathrooms, that means Moen and Delta shower valves, Kohler and American Standard tubs, Daltile and Florida Tile for flooring and walls, and Cambria or Silestone when the job calls for solid surface. When you’re looking at a $20,000-plus remodel inside a home built in 1968, you want to know exactly whose toilet flange is going under your floor. We’ll put every brand name in writing before you sign.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Norland Homes
- Hidden water damage behind original 1960s tile. Failed mastic and missing waterproofing mean the subfloor can be spongy underfoot. In Norland’s humidity, that damage spreads outward, and full tear-out is usually the only honest fix.
- HVHZ non-compliant windows left in place. A contractor who skips the permit on a tub-to-shower conversion gets a stop-work order at final inspection. The impact-rated window is not optional once the county sees the opening.
- Below-slab plumbing surprises. With the water table only a few feet down in low-lying Norland, opening a slab for a relocated drain can hit groundwater. We write a plumbing allowance into every contract so that surprise is priced, not free-falling.
- Corroded original copper supply lines. The 1970s-era copper in many Norland homes has been eaten from the inside by decades of mineral-heavy municipal water. Once walls are open, replacing it is cheaper than repairing it later.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Norland
If the remodel opens an exterior wall or replaces a window, Miami-Dade’s HVHZ review triggers, and the original single-pane jalousie windows do not pass - so yes, the impact-rated replacement becomes a required part of the job. We write it into the scope up front so it’s priced and permitted from day one, not dropped on you at final inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly which openings are affected before we pull the permit.
We photograph it, we show it to you in person, and we price the repair as a written change order before we cut anything further. Our contracts carry a framing and waterproofing allowance for exactly this, because Norland’s humidity makes rotted subfloor under old tile the rule rather than the exception. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask us to look at your subfloor before you sign - estimates are free.
It can add a few days to the inspection queue, because Norland is unincorporated and everything runs through the county building department rather than a smaller city hall. But the alternative is a stop-work order and a failed final inspection when the county finds non-compliant work. We’d rather add three days to the schedule than leave you with an unpermitted shower.
A full bathroom remodel in Norland runs $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathrooms starting around $5,000. The biggest factor is what’s inside the walls - rotted framing, corroded copper, and non-compliant windows can push a mid-range job to the upper end once the walls are open. Our allowance system keeps those discoveries priced in writing, so the final bill is never a surprise. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free line-item estimate.
Yes, and here’s why: the copper in those homes has been thinning for 50 years, and once your bathroom is closed back up, you won’t see another opportunity to replace it without tearing into finished tile. We write a “replace while open” option into the contract as a written line item, so you decide before we start - not after the tile is set. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through the options for your specific home.
